Pulse Correspondent Ryan Barry goes through the basic highlights of fighting on the "City of" streets in this article:
Fight villains and boredom with multiplayer online games
Barry states:

"The best part is the multiplayer part. That means you can chat, team up with, trade with and (my favorite activity) fight other players."

Barry goes on to describe the diverse community,

"Many people of different ages play "City of Heroes" and "City of Villains." In my time of playing, I've met people of all ages, from 11 to 70. A 39-year-old, female firefighter I interviewed said she plays the game because it's fun"

We do have a wonderful community and who knew that some of them even have the real life alias of being a news reporter!
