I am entertaining this option as well...but my worries with this lie in the fact that when you create a PayPal a…

I.e they need a CC just to do a check of identity like most other games :P.
Gee, you're a real nice person.
Anyway, there was a Dev po…
Yes, pretty much the situation is that you cannot use Credit Cards (maybe even PayPal?) outside of the US since you need a US Billing Address.
Here's my solution:
1. Import the game
2. Import game cards (can get them from importmadness.co.uk as …
officially there's no open beta. The closest thing is that closer to release they will start allowing pre-orders in. So effectively you have to 'buy' your way into the 'open' beta.
CoH has developed archetypes. They're encouraging you to be creative, but for obvious game-balance reasons you cannot break the archetype. Otherwise you'd end up with an awesome blaster who can take major damage and that's just game-breaking.
So yo…

Actually Heartless, there are only a few statues around the city. Maybe 2 or 3 depending on the area. In the pre-order disk you get a good idea of whats in the areas. Mostly big buildings. So the statue thing you …
heromachine may be a decent start for those who cannot draw their own, but you must keep in mind that as robust a character creator City of Heroes will have, there are no capes/wings/cloaks/long skirts/flowing robe things in the initial release. So …
While flight may be a power wanted by a lot of players, you probably won't be able to get it until you're a pretty decent level. But I think the other travelling powers will be popular as well, like teleporting, leaping and speed.

I pre-ordered the disc and if i don't get into beta heads will roll.
You WILL get into Beta, just relax. Feel priveleged, because some of us who are outside the US and don't have credit cards can't even get the preo…
Yeah the fame system has been changed to the 'influence' system. Fairly similar, as you gain influence by defeating baddies and completing missions etc. But influence is sort of like the currency of the game, you can spend it to do costume changes o…
From what I gathered in the official forums, these powers are all sort of like a version of Sprint. Sprint is available to all characters, but for those who get the prestige powers, you get lovely effects with it.

The "Fifth Column" in City of Heroes refers to an elitist group of super nazis from World War II. Thus, I dont think they have ever heard of "your" Fifth Column.
(World doesnt revolve around just one person btw)

Hmm...a game that has little leveling grind, no player equipment or items so no kill stealing or ninja looting, and the ability to be a superhero and work in teams of over 50? What's not to look forward too?
I'm in full agreement though, if this is…

I don't even think they knew you ever used this name as your guild...or cared.
I'm pretty sure they didn't know...but that doesn't stop it from being a cool coincidence does it?
From what I know on the official forums, they've not added in the preorder registrations to the beta pool as of yet. So far they've just been adding forum members, but in the next group of testers (said to be sometime soon) they will be a mix of for…
yeah I pretty much don't go with any one game site. I usually read a range of them and then usually through the gamefaqs.com user ratings. But I have to admit that it's usually Gamespot that has the fairest reviews of them all.
From what I understand, you stay in costume all the time. The only other costume you can have, is if you join a Supergroup (guild) and they have a symbol, then you can have another costume with that symbol on and switch to it whenever you join up wi…
What I like is that the devs are concentrating on getting things done properly instead of having tons of things (like pvp, villians, vehicles etc) and them all being mediocre.
They've said that things like this may be added later, but they want to …
I just checked the Gamespot entry for International shipping of COH w/ Beta, and they will ship it, but they've raised the shipping price to $24.99 to cover it. Ouch
