I'm not sure whether City of Heroes was one of those "you had to be there" things or not, but it sounds interesting

As someone that was there... well, it was a really great game, just on a sheer "screw around and try out wild things" basis.

There has never been a game that scratches quite that same itch, and does quite what it did.

Yes! And there are private servers up now, and everything, after a whole pile of Exciting Drama.

I haven't had the time to go and check it out with modern eyes, though I'm on and off tempted.

It's a game that just inspires
creativity
. You mix and match your power sets within an archetype, and then you hop into a
really
robust character creator

Then the game encourages you to fill out a little backstory for who your hero/villain is

It was fun to roll silly alts, it was fun to see what silly/amazing/cool ideas people came up with...

And content scaled well to group size, and let you bring along high-level or low-level teammates...

And god, nothing was as awesome as unlocking my first proper travel power, and just
flying through the city

(flying through things is a much more common mmo experience these days, so that's probably not gonna hold up so well, but still.)

that's just making me more interested. and i've seen that it has a pretty flexible character creator...

The character creator was super good on CoH/CoV.

And like it lacks some of the modern bell and whistles of a game like FF14? Also game balance is a total mess, but in a generally fun way

My characters are more on the weird side of what you can create.

But it has a lot of stuff you can pick in the costume creator.
