Prepare Your Kidneys for Ebay

by Randy Marr

   I don't know if you're as excited for Champions as I am, but I've got some interesting news either way. It seems that they're trying to get some pre-launch funds. For just 200 dollars you can purchase yourself a lifetime subscription. No more monthly fees. Just 200 bones up front. That's roughly 14 months of game time at the standard rate of $15 a month, and after that, it's open sailing. (what does open sailing have to do with a superhero MMO? Ugh, I'm rusty.)
 
   But they're not just letting it go there, you'll also get a few exclusive costume sets (known as "Art Deco" and "Retro-Future"), 8 extra character slots, a guaranteed entrance into the Star Trek MMO beta, as well as an exclusive costume for said Star Trek MMO. Oh, and the real seller, a Foxbat in-game action figure. Foxbat, people. That's all I should have to say.
 
   If that's a bit much up-front for you, they're also throwing a 6-month discounted special of 60 dollars which nets you an "Art Deco" costume set.
 
   So what do you think? Is this offer worth it? Even if you're not interested in Champions Online, would you take this kind of deal for some smaller MMO like WoW? (Flame-shields activate!) Feel free to feedback, I love to know what people are thinking.
