EVE Online or City of Heros?


Well, I'm prettymuch done with Planetside for reasons I posted in the CDL forums, and will repost or explain if anybody's interested. That said, I need an MMO or else I'm gonna go nuts. Granted, Doom 3 is comming out soon, but that's only gonna last me for so long. I've basically narrowed it down to EVE Online or City of Heros.

I was in City of Heros' beta and absolutely loved it. Great pickup and play aspects, particularly the sidekick system. However, it seemed to lack depth in the long run, and that's the main complaint I've been hearing. On the positive side, I think I saw gametime cards in stock. CDL has a presense there, too. City of Villians looks really cool. Again, the pitfall would seem to be a lack of content later on, but how much less content then PS can you really have?

Then there's EVE Online. Lacks the pickup and play qualities of CoH, but looks to be really good once you get into it. I don't want to call it a learning curve, but it seems to have a rather uphill climb to meet the financial and equipment level that any prospective other players have. However, Shiva looks like a badass content/refinment release, which appeals. Plus, there's nice PSU guys in there like Infernus, and Electrofreak. I don't know how many of the trialers decided to stick around. I haven't seen any gametime cards around, if there even are any.

What does everybody think?

Well imo eve has a severe lack of content. It took me less then a month to get bored with it. It was a great month ill give it that. I just ran out of exciting things to do...

I have only played CoH for a few hours and I have to say it was fun. But beyond that I have no idea what kind of content the game has. I have to agree that it looks bad though at higher lvls.

Early, I play Eve and I love it. It took me 3 days to get used to the systems the game had set up. It should be the same for you. So many diffrent roles you can choose too.

I don't really mean acclimation period, I mean the power curve. It seems like it takes some really serious energy to get any measurable power.

Lemme put it this way. We have a channel and everything set up in EVE. Also, im more than willing to give you any ship or gear you need to get ass-kicking ASAP. Play EVE it ownz (and has a free 14-day trial going currently )

edit- if you know how, its not difficult at ALL to get a cruiser and a fair amount of cash in EVE. Also, even in a frigate you can kick some ass if you have the skills and the knowledge (which we will happily provide). Peacemaker was in a Kestrel up to today (a frigate) and he was soloing a cruiser spawn no problem.

edit- current list of subscribed EVE players last i checked is myself, Eine, Infernus, Corrosion, Peacemaker, 1024, 2 of Eine's friends (ShootX and MooMooMan), and Cold Fusion from BOHICA. Sobekus is running the corp the majority of us are in, but his account ran out and I think hes tryin to get it reactivated.
