A little over a year ago, I started playing City of Heroes. Slowly I improved my character with new powers and enhancements by gaining higher and higher levels. This past weekend, I achieved level 50 with my character PurpleProtector. I was determined to reach “the end” once I got my character up to around level 35.

All in all, I thought it was a great game. PurpleProtector was a storm summoner so I got to do some pretty cool things like hurricanes, snow storms, freezing rain, and thunder claps. My favorite was the lightning cloud.

Considering the monthly $15 subscription, I’ve canceled my account. I’ve never paid so much for a single video game. Was it worth it? Well it was fun, but I did spend an astronomical amount of time playing. City of Heroes reports that I have been playing for 425 hours… That’s 17.7 days worth of video gaming…

Wow.
