How long will that $30 for three month subscription last? I'm trying to get the game patched up now (if Steam cooperates) and wanted to try it for a bit before I get a subscription, but that does seem like a good deal.

Edit: I've skimmed the first post, and it sounds like CO is similar to City of Heroes in that you can make most things work, but some sets just perform better than others. Does that sound about right? I'm planning to roll an archetype to learn the game with, and then if I subscribe I'll play around with the freeform power system. That was what interested me when the game first came out, but I wasn't ready to put the money out on another superhero MMO at the time.

3 months

I probably deserve that, but I mean how long is the sale going for?

You have to finish the tutorial first.

What you want to do is make a throwaway character, finish the tutorial, delete it, and have all the pieces for your real character (Who can now skip the tutorial.)

Man, I was wondering where all the wacky options were. Good thing I already made a throwaway character!

Also because the OP is terrible and buried this halfway down, here's how to join the chat channel:
So, how do I get in on Goon action?
We've got a global chat channel. Type "/channel_join SuperGoon" into your chatbox.

Alternate method: Right-click on a chat tab to bring up the chat options, and the second tab of that lets you find new channels. I knew about the cross-game chat (a great idea) but when I started up CO I was already subscribed to GoonTrek from my STO days.

The whole power system and everything will take some time getting used to, but the client was easy to grasp since it's the same as STO's.

I haven't logged in today to ask my next stupid question, so I'll ask it here. Does CO have costume auras like CoH does? If they do, where do I find them? It hasn't been obvious, but then I'm kind of looking for a big aura tab to jump out at me.

CoX was so strict on it because Marvel threatened to sue them for infringement once. ("Uhhh your main dude has a mask that looks like Magneto's helmet. Magneto invented that!") I'm guessing CO never had to go through that.

I'm pretty sure it's the rock skin option. Max out that glow and watch your head turn into a light bulb.

Yes, but is it as good as CoH's light bulb?

What are you talking about? That thing is great.

The goal is to make you want to nuke the entire city off the map, right?

I will never ever buy a lifetime sub for any game ever because the one time I considered it -- and did NOT actually get it -- was for Hellgate London.

Yeah, I don't blame you. You're not going to find that kind of luck again.

That's like not buying the winning lottery ticket and finding out the grand prize was waking up buried in live tuna every day for the rest of your life.
