Yep, still playing. Just bought it today and waiting for the servers to come back up. Your first names won't help find you ingame, as everything is based off of your 'public' name that you picked. I'm @Fragalicious. Toons I'm playing atm are OGRE (25), SAYTR (5), NYMPH (8?) and Burgandy (14). If you have any questions, feel free to hit me up ingame or here, despite the veneer there are a lot of subtleties and 'tricks' to making a toon. One bit of advice that's always true is make sure you look at all the passives available and pick one that works with your toon as that will determine how effective your character is going to be.

Yeah, those are our public/account/display/handle names. @PsychoKnitter, @ModusTollens. The character I've played the most is Victoria (12), who started out with Gadgeteering. I've now picked up Empathic Healing from telepathy. No passives yet since I use my support build more and there isn't any support passive that I've been able to pick up yet. Not sure how much I like Gadgeteer... picked it because of character concept.

One question: How important are the starting innate characteristics. Take the recommended Fire starting build. It picks Incandescent as an innate characteristic, which is +12 Presence and +12 Recovery. Is there a reason those two stats were picked as fitting with Fire? Is it better to just decide I want some fire powers but my character is going to be more like a tank, so I should get the one with more con?

Oh, and what is your advice for making characters that work well together?
