No no, you're right. I only do those instances a few times a week at most. I belong to a guild that starting running MC maybe 3 months ago or so (about once a week, maybe twice for a farming run), and so that part has been really fun because I've been able to watch us progress as a group. You have to find something that becomes gratifying. You no longer have that goal of getting to the next level, so instead you have to find something that gives you the same sort of sense of accomplishment. I don't belong to a hardcore raiding guild that takes down Onyxia every week, and I don't want, because even that would get boring then.

Other than that, I try not to burn myself out too badly, and spend a little time on my alt instead of Scholo/Strat/UBRS/LBRS/whatever every day. Looking forward to trying out AQ though.

right, like superhero games haven't been done to death?

Sure, but they all suck. City of Heroes allows for quite a bit of novel exploration and experimentation with extremely customizable character types.

but that wasn't the reason for your post. you complained that there were too many fantasy style games out there and acted like city of heroes was the only superhero game out there.
 
I found COH to be a lot fun for the first week, amusing the second week, ok the third week, on boring by the 4th week.....it just get's very boring after a while. The novelty of COH wore of on me quite quickly.

Actually, I implied that they were all the same, not that there were too many of them out there.
