City of Heroes, Anniversary!

A whole year of playing City of Heroes with Urso Brunov,
who is based on the hero of a children's book by Brian Jacques. (See book blog)

Urso Brunov now has a villainous counterpart by the name of, what else, Urso Brutov!
(picture coming...)

City of Heroes is a very fun and time-sucking MMORPG in the comic book superhero genre. I, and especially my boyfriend, are "altaholics" meaning that we don't have a character above level 30 (max is 50) but all 88 character slots (before City of Villains) were full.
I think we now have the extra 44 full too, have not checked.
It's very addicting to start up a new character with a new set of powers, and the game does a great job of sucking you in with the initial few missions:



"Finished my first mission... ding! Wow, I leveled up, now I get a new power... people are asking me to join their team..."
I resisted this game for 3 months - it was a birthday present for boyfriend, but I made the Urso character around my birthday last year and we're still playing.
I also have the villainous "Empress Jadis," an homage to Narnia. Of course, she has ice powers, but I could not find a white robe for her costume.
