Champions Online Free-To-Play Features Detailed
Cryptic has posted the full comparison between "gold" accounts (a.k.a. the soon-to-be-former subscription model) and free-to-play accounts in handy chart form.
Notably, you'll be able to play through all of Champions' current content all the way to level cap and beyond without paying a dime when the conversion launches sometime in the first quarter of this year. Expanding your cosmetic options or powerset beyond the limited presets will start to cost money, though, as well as picking up additional character slots and even inventory space.
After perusing the chart at some length, I'm still not seeing the microtransaction that adds fun to the game. Maybe that's coming in a future patch.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
