It's not quite ready to go free-to-play yet, but City of Heroes' newest update, Issue 20: Incarnates (not to be confused with Eve Online's Incarna expansion) went live today, with a new Incarnate Trial, more lore pets, in-game merit rewards, and various miscellaneous quality-of-life upgrades.
The greatest of the QOL changes is one that lets formerly individual buffs, such as Ice Shield and Speed Boost, affect all characters within 30 meters of the group, rather than forcing players to select each ally individually. As a fan of buffing classes, I say, "Yay!"
