Bouncer: NAME?
SuperHero: Red Rocket and I'm holding the city for ransom with a nuclear bomb that I stole from Black Talon after I killed him.
Bouncer: Ok, you can go in.
0_o I mean Christ, what the hell? This guy should be fired.

I agree, as they say your powers aren't super if everyone has them. I don't think Champions does such a great job of making you seem like a hero. As far as I was concerned I was just another faceless agent, a step above the police, with superpowers but I would be replaced within 10 seconds. It was the same as when I first played Age of Conan. You're supposed to be the saviour of the kingdom or something, yet you can see 20 other dudes in banana hammocks doing the exact same thing. It completely killed any sense of achievement I felt in the game because any "special" path I tread already had 4000 different boot prints.
That's why I liked CoX better. They give random passersby lines to yell as you go past saying whether they love(Heroes) or fear(Villains) you.
Some of the missions just beg you to land near a group of people just to hear the "thanks".

Owner: "Look, times are tough. Let superheroes in , but don't let it look like anyone can get in, OK?"
Bouncer: " Who do I keep out? You said to let in anyone who said 'Black Talon' or kissed Poison Ivy."
Owner: " Well, keep out Ribbon the boy hostage..."
Bouncer: "Because he's lame?"
Owner:" No, because he's underage!"

In the early days of City of Heroes, after the dances and boomboxes were added, players would do impromptu light-switch raves in front of City Hall: set up the boombox, set their biggest, showiest powers on autofire, and dance, creating huge lagstorms right near the center of the more popular newbie zone.
It wasn't long after that that the first iteration of the hero dance club was created and added to the game.

The club is in the center of the capital city (or empire city? I don't remember how was it named xD). To the west if I remember properly (I only played the beta and unfortunately don't have the cash to play the game nowChipperz said:HA! Where's that club? I have to go mock 'em
.You will surely recognise it by a huuuuge line in front of it.
I loved rp-ing (yeah nerdness +2) inside that club ^^ DARN! Everyone was RP-ing in that club. Although I still have werid feeling that half of those people were GM-s
