It came out this week, and it's getting quite a few good reviews.

1. it looks interesting

However I don't have the time for anything MMO, nor the money.

I liked this strip however ;-) :

3. G4 did a review

they were mixed in their opinions. They said the premise is a world where mutants are the norm...so they expect their persistent superhero environment to keep audiences entertained. Guess we'll see. The only part that sounded kind of cool is that you not only determine who your character will be, but you will determine their powers/ skills and the backstory as to how you got them.

2. Star Wars Galaxies got good reviews, too

Look what a cartload of crap that turned out to be. Most reviewers get to wrapped up in eye candy and combat mechanics and don't really investigate whether the game is a fun interactive environment.

I'm tired of MMORPGs that are more tedious to grind through than a cashier shift at WalMart

4. Nope, too expensive

Damn monthly fees. If the monthly fees was like $5 a month, I would consider it, but $10 - $15 a month is way too much.
