I tried it during the Bloodmoon weekend - completely bored. Most of the time, healthy disagreement is just great - all part of thinking and acting critically - and there are times when something is obvious trash, appealing only to small children and people who love the concept of a superhero MMO and are willing to settle for this sub-par crap because it doesn't have any real competition yet.

The gameplay is a dumbed-down version of World of Warcraft's own mechanics, the artwork is something out of an 80's Fisher-Price catalogue and the people I met in-game were all teenagers.

I almost ended up doing support for this game. The fact that the company was only willing to pay me $15.00 says something about their general ethics and sensibilities. Before they even brought me in for an interview, one whole city away from me (knowing I had to travel over an hour on public transport to get there) I gave them my salary expectations. I went through the entire interview process and only after all of that I was told that they were only willing to take me on for $15.00 an hour. I am a professional with 6 years of experience and a degree with an average salary of $60K.

There was also the small issue of Cryptic trying to steal customers away from their competition by posting in their game's forums - adding insult to injury, they were proud and rude and only apologized after causing serious community disdain.

Disgusting. Tasteless. Stupid.
