Champions Online - Impressions

Before bringing us their review of Champions Online, MMORPG.com gives us their first impressions of the game.

What really gets under my skin is the fact the developers admitted to erring on the side of caution with the current flow of resources available to the player as he progresses through the game. This was explained as being done in order to limit the effect of any possible dupes, exploits, or gold farming on the game's economy early on, but the respec costs weren't adjusted in order to reflect this. Instead, for the last two weeks, players have been faced with a largely dysfunctional respec system whose costs will apparently make more sense only once they readjust the flow of resources to be a bit more generous than what is currently the case.
