Thought I would separate the Champ stuff out from the Aion stuff.

Only thing I got this morning is a guide to crafting. A very good one written by 10 ton hammer.

I tried PvP, it is very very fun. You can earn rewards too. What kind of rewards you ask?

Luchador rewards.

Don't believe me? Check out the screen shot.

I'm nearly level 20 now. Leveling doesn't seem to slow down a whole lot. I was able to get from 18 to 19 in just under an hour solo. Ally I did was run a bunch of quests. So it is definitely possible to make meaningful progress when you have little time.

I can say with confidence that with just the content that is in the game now, I could play this game for the next year and be content. I really encourage people to at least put 5 dollars down to reserve the game and get in the beta. Launch is Sep. 1st. So you better hurry.

The game has it's issues with bugs, but I have yet to encounter a bug that ruined how much fun I was having.

Forget putting 5 dollars down, just saw this on their news:

Starting right now, anyone can head over to FilePlanet ( http://www.fileplanet.com/ ) and get an Open Beta key! These keys are limited, and are being distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Open Beta will continue through 11:59PM, August 24th, so you can play for free all weekend. Once you have your key, check out this thread (http://forums.champions-online.com/showthread.php?t=27825 ) for instructions on where to activate your key, as you may need to enter it in multiple places. See you in the game!

Tomorrow the head start weekend begins. Any names you want me to reserve for you? I've got 3 or 4 names I plan on making toons for to hold names.

"Once you're done customizing your character, you'll choose a name, a backstory if you want one, and enter the game. Oh, by the way, name conflicts are a thing of the past, too. No longer do you have to worry about some goober that squatted your desired name on every server in existence. Champions Online ties your name to your display name, which is a single name you choose across your entire account. Think of it like City of Heroes' global names. So you can be Jabberwocky@MrZombie, while someone else might be Jabberwocky@Ninjarobot."

yay, I've been playing nearly all day. It is going rather smoothly. It could use a fair bit of polish, but there are no game breaking bugs. I have been having a blast.

I'm thinking of joining. What sever name? Do they have servers?

Masklein · Guild Leader Joined: Apr 24, 2005 Posts: 72 Items

No server names. The entire game is sharded so everyone can play together.
