For awhile I didnt think much of the whole pay to play online RPG phenomenon. Everquest and Ultima didnt appeal to me, Anarchy Online, while having that cool futuristic looked seemed to involved. Phantasy Star looked fun but didnt last long.

But finally, finally there is an online RPG for fans of Super Heroes and arcade style beat em ups:

Whether youre a fan of the old beat em up days, 3d enviroments, comic books, or anime...this one looks to be the most accessable to folks. Ive realized Everquest and Anarchy Onlun eprobably offput a lot of potential players with it being so serious. Its like a lot of people's life sadly.

But finally here an uplifting cool looking Suer Hero themed arcade brawler styled one. And its something fresh to get in on...its not some 3 year old game where if youre new its difficult to get in on...here everyone would be starting off fresh. So indeed, I cant wait til the demo comes out to give it a little test drive.

Anyways, just curious what pay RPG or other online gaming you guys play. The only one for me is Soldier of Fortune 2 online and a little Quake 3 now and then. Its free, sweet graphics, and visceral! heh. So yeah, if I wanna pay $12-$15 a month PLUS the initial $50 for the game it better darn well be worth my time.

*btw, I wonder if you'll be able to custom a TMNT type character?
