NCSoft would be all over us like a cheap suit on a junior manager if we tried to pull this one.

Besides, CoH has always required very low latency. Which at the moment is something SL is not built to deliver.

What it CAN deliver is a very flexible means of delivering content. Try thinking of something unique. With any luck, you might even be able to port it over to other platforms if it's a hit.

Only if you copied parts of City of Heroes's game system - the general idea of a multiplayer superhero game in SL is good.

I know there are superhero RP groups in SL - maybe with a scripted combat/powers system you could make something close to what you're thinking of?

There allready is a City of Heroes Game. If we were going to make something, we would want to make something else. Maybe with superheroes, sure. :) But something else. Tell me what you think it would be like to play this new game, what would you like to do?
