CO is 6 now! Imma give it five bucks and tell it not to spend it all in one place.
... God, I feel old.
Dammit, why don't we have a +1 button around here?
"Science teaches us to expect -- demand -- more than just eerie mysteries. What use is a puzzle that can't be solved? Patience is fine, but I'm not going to stop asking the universe to make sense!"
Isaac Asimov once said, "You're only as old as you feel, and I feel as skillfully as ever."

Happy Anniversary! I remember what the game looked like in Alpha and Beta and all the excitement that brought! The forward momentum displayed so far is encouraging.
I sent Massively a tip about this. I have to admit, it is a bit disheartening to see that a single dev post is the only official acknowledgement about this, so far. Yesterday there should have been an official announcement thread, and the Cryptic should have already reached out to the various gaming news sites to get some publicity for the game.

This! So much this. Advertising is the very first thing you should do when you have a low-population game like Champs. The first and next.
What the f*** is your malfunction, Nagus? Now we have yet another s***show on a Massively post about this game.
Choose your enemies carefully, because they will define you / Make them interesting, because in some ways they will mind you
They're not there in the beginning, but when your story ends / Gonna last with you longer than your friends

Yah not ALL publicity is good publicity. The devs were probably waiting until they could get something up BEFORE contacting the media.
I am going to be blunt about this; His continual attempt to be helpful lately, has been alerting of things in game that, honestly, are putting up bad articles and not helping the situation any. It may be good intentions, but as the old saying goes, the road to Hell is always paved with good intentions.
And considering that article is now incorrect, and the anniversary is live. Yea, Nagus, you might have good intentions, but please stop. You are just making things worse from an outside perspective.
The way I read that, it sounds like they're having a bit of a tantrum because MMORPG.com got an exclusive on the Onslaught announcement instead of them.

Thank for the free goodies Devs *keeps logging in characters* .. gotta catch 'em all! 2 Whole days were worth the wait (OMG the horror of waiting till patch day! Inconceivable!)
Since massively is apparently being spiteful for the article posted on mmorpg.com, giving them more ideas how to bash on CO is not a good idea.

Some context for you: Cryptic refused our last Champs "where is the content" interview request and suggested it would have more news down the road, which it then gave exclusively to a competitor instead. I no longer really expect useful answers when we email them.
As the article says, Cryptic has said we should be expecting "anniversary surprises" this week, and it's still this week. Join us in tapping our feet.
Nagus - might want to tip them off that the Anniversary is now live with free gifts for all - Serpent Armor Costume Set, Redeemed Villain Costume Set, Special Edition Wasp Hover Bike, Defender 2015 Action Figure and a costume change token. Not a bad haul really and good for those who may have missed the Costumes on ARC giveaway a year or so ago.
I agree with aiqa - seems like a lot of sour grapes and opinion in what they class as news.

Yup. BUTTS HAVE BEEN HURT. So childish to let that influence the way they write articles about the game.
Time to start sending tips to a site that isn't run by a bunch of emotional highschool kids.
Yah, we usually push our main updates out on Thursdays, so that's why the event started then and not right on the start of the month. So... thanks, anyway?
I haven't a clue why people even use massively anymore. Massively, for the longest time, was so far up Blizzard's back side that any other MMO they would never give a fair shake at. Never liked them then, still don't like them now.
To be fair, WoW news was severely restricted on AOL-Massively after Joystiq spun off WoW Insider as its own site, partially to address that game's natural tendency to suck up all the oxygen in the room. They re-added WoW coverage with the indie relaunch, and so far they hate Warlords of Draenor as much as anybody.

Yeah we're not going to have the anniversary thread filled with bickering over a dumb article. Culled posts, keep it pleasant.
And the trolls win again. Which was my point.
