Excellent. I have one character at 10th, two at 6th. The other four are 2nd level. And I just found out how to do multiple color schemes last night. Grrrrr! Oh, well. The high-level ones look good as-is anyway, and the rest are low enough it didn't hurt me to change them.

I have way too many characters to play.

I'm also interested in playing this game.

I've played ALOT of online games in my spare time. From Asheron's Call to Shadowbane and CoH looks like a game I may like.

One thing I am always worried about is long term; is the game something that will survive more than 2 months?

Take StarWars. Apart from the weak combat system, and the laughable PvP (read: no real skill, button mashing is not skill) there was little to do.

Shadowbane had massive amounts of PvP, but in the end it was inevitable that everyone would be drawn into a major server wide war. Coupled with awful net coding it stopped being enjoyable.

Final Fantasy XI has some nice questing/missions, and a very nice world. Leveling and pt'ing is awful and the game is not guild friendly at all.

Asheron's Call was all about items, and the PvP on Darktide was more like Gankfest Unlimited (tm).

Excluding Shadowbane, I stopped playing all the other games after 2 months.

I guess I want to know, is there something to do after 2 months? Any content worth staying for? And how is the community?
