Like anyone who is interested in the MMO space, I tend to want to at least try every game that comes along. I was a little resistant to mess with Champions Online just because from the brief time I spent with it in beta, it felt like CoX 2.0. This isn’t a ringing endorsement.
Like a lot of people, Tarkheena and I were fascinated by the character creation though. Add to that a lot of friends that are playing and we decided to give it a run. I headed over to the Champions Online website to find out what the deal is with pre-order, head-start and the like. I also wanted to find out when the game was going live. According to what I saw there, I’m evidently just supposed to know this by osmosis or something. There isn’t a single banner, news post, or link that would tell me when the damn thing is going to happen.
Being the stubborn sort, I refused to look elsewhere to find this news because if you are trying to sell me a product, I feel like you should effing tell me when it’s going to be available before I have to google (or Bing) it.
