I myself rejoined after a few years and I am really enjoying getting back into the game.

I played for about 10 minutes. The first time I entered the game world a player walked up to me and gave me something like 99999999 of the in-game currency. I quit soon after.

Played a few months ago for a small bit after a long hiatus... Got tired of it quick. I got to level 50 with a fire/fire tank in almost no time by farming the user created missions. Almost no end game content. If there is, then there isn't enough people to do it either. (Hamidon for instance)

I've played the game off and on, and it was really good at one time. Now it's not so great. There are not enough people playing anymore.

I think you kinda missed the point there. City of Heroes is a game optimized for alt-fiends. It has seven years worth of content additions. If you ignore all that and powerlevel yourself to 50, you've just missed all the content. They are putting in more end game missions/raids, etc, about one every issue, but that's relatively new. They've got new ways to soup up your Supers along with it, so you can really up jump your power level there.

I have played for a long time, have multiple 50s, and I still come across content that I have never seen before.

Servers vary as to their player density, but if you go on Freedom or Virtue, you shouldn't have much trouble. Freedom for the more PVP inclined (though I can't say much about the PVP: it is not a focus) and Virtue for the RP inclined.

You know, I originally played at launch, and got an ice blaster up to, hrm, 42 I think? At the time, I played with a large group of friends, and it was alot of fun. We all moved on, and I closed that account.

I came back much later, and couldn't find my original account info, so I started over. I still enjoyed the game at the time. But, what really made it fun was the fact that the create a dungeon feature was still fairly new. Some players got really creative with it. You could find some very good scenarios that were 100% player made. The most interesting part was enterprisinig players found creative ways to maximize the xp for those. In quite a few, you could go in a solo dungeon and get an entire level for 1 hour of play or so. Group dungeons, you could get 2 times that much, or more. I remember duo'ing one dungeon with a friend was was 10 levels higher than me, and the dungeon was 5 levels higher than me, and I came out like 3 levels higher than I went in.

Eventually though, Ncsoft nerfed the hell out of it. So, that kind of xp surfing was impossible. I can't really say I blame them for it. It did really break the progression of that game. Even so, it really did drain any fun I had in the game out.

I've thought about coming back to give it a go several times recently and try to enjoy it for what its actually meant to be. But, I'm still just a little bitter.
