(I haven't played CoH, so it may be similar.)

CoH is kind of along those lines. You start by choosing your origin (not a big thing that matters in game except what enemies you face in the beginning of the game) then choose your primary and secondary powersets and choose your first powers, then you make your character in the best character creator ever for an MMORPG and then from there your in game and when you level, you choose what powers you want. It's a fairly simple process to do.

I must admit, its grown on me quite a bit from before. once i started understanding it it became quite fun.

Mana, you in the stress test? what race/server/ name are you? perhaps i can visit ya before the test ends if your there.

From what i've heard from people on CoH tho, is that the missions/quests get quite repetitive, but i dunno cuz i never played.

The missions are repetitive but every MMORPG is repetitive. Quests or whatever in other MMORPG's are the same basis. Kill things. Kill more things. Kill those things. So its not just CoH that is repetitive

Race: Night Elf Druid
Server: Malygos
Name: Vorbis

I should of asked where people were before I made my character and leveled him up a bunch. Ah well, maybe we'll get lucky.

By the way, I'm level 12 and able to get to the main continent for the human/elf/etc. side.

So the Stress Test has finally ended.

How did we feel about this massive life drain?

I, for one, am damn glad it's over. I will not be buying WoW, and I willing not be paying monthly fees for WoW.

Not that I didn't like it, I loved it. But I try to keep my level of addicitions low, at only three addictions a year.

Kidding aside.. no wait, I'm not kidding. It's an extreme addiction! Now it's over and I can get back to sleeping.
