Dunno. But it would make pumping gas interesting.

There's an old cartoon I've seen before where you've got zombies and vampires and mummies playing something like Dungeons & Dragons but instead its set in a office...

Karma would dictate that I got the Fire Blast/Regeneration powers I want, but would bone me by leaving out immunity to fire damage. Burn your foes from the face of the planet, but suffer along with them! Have fun kiddo.

With no buses and only one car per train, public transit would have lines longer than Disneyland.

They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

If RL were mre like City, I'd be able to murder people on the way to work to cover my mortgage with no serious legal repercussions. Oh a man can dream... *sigh*

Work would likely be a PVP zone, then. Free-for-all, no less.

Everyone keeps talking about work. Why work, when you can go around and save people and beat up bad guys for a living? If RL was more like CoH, one could pay their bills with INF.

The indiscriminate use of heavy weapons would become much more morally acceptable. Hose down a crowd with flamethrowers or explosives and only the bad guys get hurt. You can even nuke a city and kill nothing but the criminals! Civilians (or anyone else on your side) are just fine, and there's no property damage except maybe a scorch mark that disappears in a few seconds.

Well, unless they are near a bank. Then cars and dustbins and so forth will explode. But civilians nearby are still untouched.

Every time you needed to run to the department of Motor Vehicles, or the bank, or get to the emergency room, a city-wide event would occur that made it absolutely impossible for you to get anything practical accomplished.

I think we might also all bemoan the loss of our cars as they apparently begin to drive around themselves, aimlessly. Thank god the Public transportation would become more reliable, free, AND almost instantaneous!
if we had real world Super Jumping the cities would be littered with impact craters. Real world Super Speed there would be person shaped dents everywhere and pedestrian collisions at up to 140MPH head on. Flying would be the only one that would be safe and avoid collateral damage. Teleport will normally be as safe as Flying but unlike if someone collides flying and gets bruised up, two people teleporting into the same place in space will be at best missing a good chunk of their body and worst looking at extremely painful and certain death.


Med-porters would be awesome. If tells didn't become texts then we can amuse they would be somehow mental and that would be epic.

Speaking of PVP - Black Friday holiday shopping would be all the more dangerous @_@

- Looks at City Info-terminal- "Hmm... It seems the number of Stalkers in game have tripled..." (looks at newspaper headline "Peeping Tom cases go through the roof- police baffled" and wonders if there's a connection?)
