Pulled in too many directions
There's been so much going on since the beginning of the year. January and February are always incredibly busy months, and 2011 is no exception.

Why City of Heroes is a very good question. When Champions Online first came out and they were offering lifetime subscriptions, I bought one. I regret it -- I thought I'd be getting a marvelous City of Heroes II, but I never connected with it. I can log in any time, but I found the costume creator buggy (I encountered problems with capes), and the world didn't seem as vibrant to me -- I enjoy the bright, comic-book hues of City of Heroes.
Also, after being away for so long, there's a ton of new (well, new to me!) content:
* Tip missions, that add a bit of practical roleplay in terms of alignment
* An auction house
* Crafting in the form of Inventions! New costume pieces, enhancements and more!
* Player-created content! Seriously! I was delighted to find out about this aspect, known in-game as the Mission Architect.
* Day Jobs
Regarding DCUO, David tried it, and found it disappointing. He felt that the game was very clearly designed for the PS3, and that the controls and interface did not translate well at all to the keyboard input format. He also disliked combat, as he felt he had little control over his character. It certainly looks pretty, though -- I've seen some lovely screenshots. Still, I probably won't try it soon. I'm not good at dividing myself between two games, much less three. :)
Are you currently playing an MMO? If so, which one?
