$300 lifetime subs return to Champions Online

By Patrick Garratt

Cryptic’s reopened lifetime subscriptions to Champions Online, despite the MMO being on the verge of going free-to-play.

In return for your significant outlay, you’ll receive:

• The game
• A Foxbat action figure
• Art Deco/Art Deco Future costume sets
• Eight character slots
• The VIP room in Club Caprice
• Exclusive costume piece
• “Vanguard” Perk and title
• “Forum goodies”

Cryptic said late last month that the game would be switching to a free-play model, with subs now being named “gold” users to free-players’ “silver”.

Champions Online follows several high profile games into the free-play model, such as D&D Online and LOTRO.

It first released in September 2009.

Thanks, Massively.
