Champions Online Surpasses 1 Million Characters; Free-to-Play Until November 2nd
by Jeff Mattas, Oct 30, 2009 4:22pm PDTIf you're looking for an excuse to slip into some brightly-colored spandex and roam the city streets, Halloween's not your only option this weekend.
Developer Cryptic Studios and publisher Atari recently announced that their superhero-themed MMO Champions Online now houses more than 1 million player-created heroes. As we reported earlier, if you're curious to see what it's all about, new players can hop in and play for free all weekend long, until November 2nd.
The free-to-play period also coincides with a special in-game event called "Blood Moon Halloween," where players can "join the fight against Takofanes and his Undead Heroes." We're not sure who Takofanes is, or why you should fear him, but it won't cost you anything to find out this weekend.
Would-be heroes can register on the official site.

"We finally acquired 125,000 accounts which each can hold 8 character slots... can we have a cookie now before we start looking for new employment when the other superhero MMO's come out more polished than we released ours and we loose the few accounts we actually got after all that marketting hype"

champions online is pathetic, unfinished and repetitive.
The game is REALLY good at infecting customers wth a terrible, terrible case of Altitis. Since the character creation is one of the game's main selling points it then follows that they would like to emphasize the fact that people love to make characters with it.
Most of the people who would read it also are smart enough to not be impressed by a character count. To said audience, all it does is make them look desperate to find anything good to say.
