 The open beta starts in two days. What's the stoke-o-meter looking like for the Giant Bomb community?
 P.S. My apologies for not placing this in the appropriate forum.

After playing through the beta for so long, I'm confident in the game doing well in the long run, but I'm not going to be picking it up till late down the road. Jumpgate has my eye far more.

Not at all. Don't really get into the MMO scene.

I'm pretty stoked. I've never done an mmo before, but the look of this one interested me. I'm gonna try out the beta next week and see how I like it before I pay for anything.

@SpikeSpiegel: In order to get in the beta, you have to have preordered the game or be a subscriber to fileplanet. Those are the two easiest ways to get in.

my PC sucks so no way I am gonna play this but from my free trial of City of Heroes by the same studio i found it to be  pretty bland gameplay with deep deep customization options kinda expecting the same with Champion's.

Kinda stoked, I suppose. It's going to be tough to try and get into another MMO though.

The only MMO I'm excited for is The Old Republic.

My Champions Online fire was going along pretty well, until a few weeks ago.  Reading about the microtransactions, and yet another one of those fake beta testing periods you have to pay to get into.  Basically poured an ice cold waterfall all over my fire.

I am super stoked for this title and am eager to play an MMO again after two years of WoW.  This is the MMO game I am most looking forward to outside of the iffy-dated Old Republic.  When that drops maybe sometime in 2010, I'll probably abandon Champions, but until then I am really looking forward to getting my superhero groove on.  I just can't play fantasy-set MMOs anymore.  As for the microtransactions dispute, it depends on what they are.  After all, WoW has something similar through their deal with Upper Deck Trading Cards.  You buy CCG cards and sometimes you might get a rare card which has a code for a special item in game.  The item is useless but people still pay big bucks for them on Ebay.  On top of that there are Blizzcon items, unique pets if you bought the collector's edition and special mounts if you get a friend to join.  If Champions limits real-cash items to trivial things then I am okay with it, or if items available there can be acquired through gameplay and the store is just a short cut for impatient people, then I am okay with that, too.  But, if it is special costume items or weapons, then I will be soured on the game.  I'm going to buy the box and play it out for the first free month then decide if I want to go farther.  After all, it could suck or I could quickly lose interest like I did with Warhammer.
