Good to see some info on this game. I gotta admit, as much as I'm looking foward to DCUO, this article has me intrigued with CO as well.

I'm a huge fan of City of Heroes, and I'll be sticking with them for the duration, but I already see several costume options that COH doesn't have yet. Which leads me to wonder about different powersets, the fact that you can choose virtually any power as he suggested, and the like ... I may have TWO MMORPG to try and divide my time between.
Three when DCU Online comes into play.

if he can adapt the comprehensive rules in a way that the computer does the number crunches, you can basically play pretty much everything...but I would request it to be hidden from most users unless requested, cause the system requires an engineering degree to do properly.

however, once the characters are done, it does move very cleanly.
