For all the people who want to just tool around with City of Heroes, but not have to suffer any of the grief that comes with MMORPGs, it's good news that NCSoft has released their powerful Character Creator free. This is the same tool that has been praise-praise-praised by players, and even got NC Soft sued by Marvel because of "copyright infringement" concerns.

You'll need a PC (drat for me), and the installer is in Korean, but this should be fun. Via Slashdot/Games and where the main links/descriptions are: 1up.com. Or just download the thing.
