I am by no means an expert but City of Heroes is the only MMO I play and it is crazy fun. I pay in six month cycles so I don’t feel the hit so badly (I find I am buying less other titles than I used to so my actual spending on games is the same). I am planning to also join Old Republic when it comes out. Never tried WOW though.
