Cool.
press "/" and after you finish typing it should look like "/friend CatMan" or "/friend Hivemind". Next time I am on... I'll add you.

I play at random hours. Mainly afternoon till early morning. To add friends do what Petri said without the "" as in /friend catman. You can then hit the friends tab on your chat window and it will tell you if he is online. You can click on his name then rightclick it to get options for sending him a tell.
IMO melee char are kind of a pain. You have to run up to attack and guess if your close enough. When you attack a target you dont automove toward him. Also a lot of badguys run from you and its hard to hit in melee when they run. I would suggest a blaster, defender or controler as your first char untill you get used to the game.
Catman is a defender and Hivemind is a controler. A blaster would be a good addition to our group. We have tried to group with lower lvl melees without much luck. You should play what you want tho. All char types have thier place and can be good.
Petri is playing only one char right now. He doesnt play all day like I do so he is trying to get one guy lvled up at a time. I am playing a bunch of char types. All of these are on Champion server. The skill sets are list as primary/secondary.
Hivemind - Controler Illusion Control/Radiation Emission
Chaos Lord - Balaster Fire Blast/Energy Manipulation
Morticus - Defender Storm Summoning/Dark Blast (same as CatMan)
Battle Droid - Blaster Assualt Rifle/Devices
Atomic Shock - Defender Dark Miasma/Radiation Blast
Fortress Controler Earth Control/Kinetics
Abyssal Stalker - Tanker Fire Aura/Ice Melee
Void Beast - Scrapper Spines/Regeneration
I think all of those are good combos except Battle Droid. Not impressed with devices so far but it may get better latter. The Assualt Rifle is fine but combining it with Energy or Electric Manipulation would prob work better. Atomic Shock is the easiest to play. Each of these char have a different strategy and playstyle. If you get tired of how one char plays try another type till you find one you like. All of these Char where planned out with Hero Planner v1.51. I suggest you use it since you cant get every skill on one char. The main thing is deciding the skills you dont want.

Oh, to add to that, melee characters can be quite a blast, when played right and in the right group as well. It is a completely different mindset. For example, on the Virtue server my scrapper named Ressev is level 15 and while some baddies are easy, certain ones (Vahzilok) are certain death unless I am teamed. But level 16 I'll finally take taunt and thus lower that swarming issue.
I like a certain "surprise" when I make my characters, while I would really have liked Catman on the Challenge server to have been a Empathy/Dark Blast Defender, I find the powers useful in their own way. Likewise, Ressev as a scrapper has Dark Melee/Regeneration which I like a lot (helps in between groups and a little in solo combat). Spines look fun and while CatMan has hover, Ressev won't, just more stealth orientated.

There is definatly a differnce between a good group char and a good solo char. As a solo your biggest prob is normaly downtime. Anyone who cant self heal has a long haul as a soloist. Health regens much slower than stam so you tend to be waiting for that most often. In a group you can be more specialized and thus more powerful within your specialty.
All my char are set up to solo well. This isnt just in the skills I choose but also how I use my enhancements. On one char that has no self heal (Chaos Lord) I added two slots to rest so I can reduce the recharge time.

If you go over to Champion, be sure to add the following to your friends list:
Ressev
CatMan
Vespers
Firey Rorschach
Dr. Fluxx
Phestus
Hivemind
Atomic Shock
Fortress
and a few others of Buggers I can't recall right now.
Anyways, When you play, get on TS, if Bugger and Festus are playing they can tell you who they are playing... I can't, but at least I'll be able to hear you.

No, you can only play one character at a time unless you have 2 seperate accounts.
BTW... Bugger: where are you? Or are you busy with real life?

I also have 2 new characters,
Dark Grifter and Bran (don't laugh, he is named after a Welsh Giant)
Grifter is a blaster, using an assault rifle. He has a great melee punch with good knockback to keep anyone who closes with him at a distance. I added Teleportation as a secondary skill cus its just so damned convienient. Currently at level 11 and he pairs up really nice with Petris Dark Fall (coincidence on the names)
Bran is a tiny little fella, but he is a Tanker. He has several built in resistances and uses stone fist and stone hammer currently. Building him to just take heaps of punishment while my temamates kill the baddies. Currently lvl 8 I think.
