Hey CoT Forum,
New member here- after having an intense wave of nostalgia for CoX hit me this last month I delved into the webs in dire search of a predecessor/replacement for that gaping hole in my heart. As of a few days ago my search has led me to CoT and VO! Realizing I missed the Kickstarter by quite a margin has left me feeling a bit on the outs, and I've been forum crawling trying to get some deets on the current status of the game and how the ex-CoX players that are getting game access are feeling.
So, first question is what's the word on the street? I believe I saw some posts fairly recently talking about beta-access players and some people seeming pretty thrilled. Is the game from what's been seen of it meeting the expectations/quenching the long held thirst for our beloved CoX?
Second question, how similar is it feeling to CoX? I know just about everyone has decided we don't want a CoX clone or revamp from CoT, but I don't think anyone can deny we really want something that can fill the void back up that we got on November 30, 2012. So how's this left you feeling, are you excited and feeling good about the state of CoT?
And, if there's any news or input you guys think everyone/myself should be made up-to-date on. Please post away.

Sadly we aren't anywhere near Beta yet. Not even a pre-alpha. So far all text videos are done on a test map. Right now I think they said the main focus is to get a Character Creation system going and out. So you and anyone else can play with costumes even before the game is finished.
The Kickstarter is updated regularly, Lore, and even test videos have shown up. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/updates
P.S. last but not least... WELCOME TO CITY OF TITANS!

1.) Nothing goes as planned.
2.) If it goes as planned it's not good RP

On top of what Rotten wrote, I'll ad two things:
1) I my opinion, it's kind of a good time for you to be just discovering CoT. Videos are slowly but regularly produced that ordinary players can look at and begin to get excited about--and from what they say this process should begin accelerating soon. Still, as Rotten said, we're a long way from release.
2) Being a "spiritual successor", CoT is very intentionally based on what worked in CoH and correcting or leaving behind the things that didn't work--and using a cutting edge engine to make it look great. While it won't be the same lore, the spirit seems in keeping with CoT while still having it's own distinct feel.
Just my two cents. Not sure it's worth that much, so no charge :P.
And WELCOME again!

Hey there and welcome. As an addition to what the others have said it is a double good thing you came in at this point. We seriously consider all thoughts of the community regarding the game. Everyone's two cents are worth something here and could potentially make a difference in the final game.
We are definitely going to be a successor to CoH. That means that we are aiming for not changing what worked and doing our best to fix things that didn't as well as update it to modern standards. It is after all a game for and made by fans of CoH and superhero MMOs in general. Heck! Just good games in general.

Word on the street from Huggy Bear is that he remains cautiously optimistic.
(insert pithy comment here)
wait 3 months (after summer is over) to see if decent progress has been made on the Character Creator, then see what its fate is.
Use this to catch up, it's such a well managed community made resource I just link people to it all the time instead of making an official one :P. All our updates nicely categorized and linked to.

Thanks for all the responses guys! It's definitely a good feeling getting responses from even the Developers themselves, so thank you again! I searched through all the Kickstarter posts, was reading all the lore- as well as subscribed to the YouTube channel so that I can get all those awesome video updates. (:
