Champions Online

Champions online is a game very similar to City of Heroes. The games are very commonly compared with one another. They can have many similarities for example death. Players can revive a teammate or respawn at a neutral site. Unlike CoH, respawning does not increase experience debt, instead you lose your hero stars; hero stars are gained by defeating the NPCs.

In Champions online there is this one feature, when you level up, you can test out all the things you could potentially purchase in this big testing area. After you gain a level, you can spend that levelup and get either powers that are punching, running, or jumping. In this game, before you pick one of the three, you get to test out all of them.As a result when you enter the level up area there are tons of people trying things out, which has led to a culture of people who are constantly looking for a fight when they are in the level up area.You walk in and if you stay there long enough it is a certainty that someone will ask you for a fight to see if their new level-up is competent. While some players sit there for like, 10 minutes, pick one, and go, some players will sit there for an hour or more.It's the only game where you buy level ups where it is acceptable to leave a party just to explore your options for an hour or two other then that it's standard fare.

People like to dual, people like to party up, elite players don't get that much better then regular joes so the elite aren't usually jerks in that game, but then again maybe those players leave for more competitive pastures.Since there is only one faction (heroes) all combat is pretty much only between people who agree to it. You could grief someone by constantly asking for a dual or by picking up boxes and throwing them but it's just not worth the effort; there isn't too many benefits to griefing. Standard kinds of griefing, like saying inappropriate things and being a jerk still happen, but it's not like in WoW where you lead raids on people just because you don't like them, or where you sneak into the main city and kill any players. Players must request to duel with other members in order to kill any other player.
