[QUOTE=Brainiac4] Lok, I will look you up next time I am on Test and get some characters into the SG so you can play with the base. And I guess I should try out the LOTR MMO now… curse you! 😉 [/QUOTE] Chat me or email me if you do. Go to Silverlode. ---

CoH now has “buddy codes” These are different than trial codes in that not only do you get the 10-day free trial, but you also get access to start a non-trial account. In other words you do not have to buy another licence to get a full account. I think this is for the Hero Side only. It’s still a pretty big savings. Any how, I have one if any one wants. ---

Update time: Two subscriptions to City of Heroes later, I’ve got a lv10 Tanker on Virtue and she’s got a lv5 Mastermind on Protector, with appropriate supporting casts in the form of each other’s respective Blaster and whatever-the-hell-the-villain-tank-type is. Thanks for all the advice. ---

The villain tank type _is_ the Mastermind. The Brute is CoV’s equivalent of the scrapper or blaster. Hard and _fast_. The best support for a Mastermind is a good Corrupter. ---
