Is City of Heroes a game you can only play on the internet?

Question

I want to know more about City of Heroes. Is it only available to play online once you've bought the game? Or can you actually play it without an internet connection?

Answer 1

you need a fairly good internet connection to play the game, also it is charged by game time not monthly so you can buy cards for so many hours and you get that many hours of game play. If you are planing in getting a mmorpg I would suggest waiting till the 18th and getting warhammer online it is gonna be a great game with a great community if you do decide to get it see you on the battlefield :D

Answer 2

City of Heroes Is what the gamer world calls a MMORPG or massively multiplayer online role playing game.  It can only be played online and If im not mistaken there is a monthly fee to play on online as well.

Answer 3

City of Heroes and City of Villains are a single game now. You can purchase both for the price of one, both as your initial game purchase and for the monthly fees.

There is no offline or single-player version available. So, yes. You can only play it on the internet.

Once you are on that bandwagon, you will automatically get all new game content (without additional charge) as it becomes available.

There are features of significant complexity, and a substantial community, that become available to you upon joining the CoH/V world. If you have access to the internet (which you appear to, or you wouldn't have posted here), get yourself a trial account and see if it's worth it to you.

Good Luck!
