When
Cryptic Studios announced earlier this week that the limited
Lifetime and 6-month subscription offers for href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/co" target="_blank"> style="font-style: italic;">Champions Online
had sold out, many fans weren’t shy about expressing their
dissatisfaction on the official forums. While the sell-out is certainly
great news for Cryptic, it also meant that anyone holding out until
closer to launch had simply missed their chance to snag one of the
subscription deals, including some of the perks that went along with
them including (but not limited to) unique costume parts and a spot in
the href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/taxonomy/term/117"

closed beta set to begin sometime later this year.




The story doesn’t end there though, as Cryptic announced that
due to overwhelming demand and to show its dedication to the rapidly
expanding CO community the discounted subscription offer has been
reinstated, this time with no set limits in place.

Earlier this week, we
gave notice that we were running out of special
Lifetime and 6-month promotional subscriptions. Within a day, the rest
of our supply had been sold out, leaving a number of you confused and
upset. The response to this promotion has been overwhelming and we want
to thank everyone who posted on our forums, called customer service and
sent e-mails over these past few days.



After further consideration, and to meet the needs of our community, we
have decided to reinstate the Lifetime and 6-month subscription
promotional programs with no supply limit until 11:59 p.m. (Pacific
time) on August 31st.



At Cryptic, we are dedicated to our community. We look forward to
seeing you when Champions Online launches this September!
