Hey would it be worthwhile trying to acquire a box from eBay or Amazon (assuming it wasn't opened)? I got some sealed STO boxes that way and the codes in there gave me some cool exclusive stuff. I'm not sure if CO even has the ability to redeem old box codes, or what they would grant if it can...
Yeah, like I said earlier on, I got the Best Buy exclusive from eBay for like 10 or 15 bucks. Came with a very outdated and totally irrelevant BradyGames strategy guide. :biggrin:
Right yesterday in ren cen I had an argument with a misguided person he claimed that Champions was made by Perfect World in 2010 and there was never a box. He said ok then show us a pic. Well here you go the freaking box! I have a couple of comic/game shops and I've had these in stock since 2009.
When that person is wrong he's very wrong considering CO was made by Cryptic for Microsoft to be released for the XBox 360 and the PC, and it wasn't originally supposed to be a Champion's game, but was Marvel Universe Online, until Microsoft cancelled the project. To turn things around Cryptic bought the Champions and Dark Champions IP to change MUO to Champions Online, at which point Atari bought Cryptic and published the game, only without the XBox release as had been intended (which is the reason the XBox 360 controller can be used in this game as it was originally designed for it).
Any my Best Buy copy has a fat Star Trek Online ad on the back the manual. This thing mostly linked you to the online manual whenever they talked about ANYTHING about that game. The manual was mostly about billing and Terms of Service.\
The online manual is actually helpful when explaining content more than the devs have tried to explain since hideouts were being developed. And that thing is half a decade out of date.

I've been laughing for like 20 minutes at the line about cosmic villains requiring 20 or more heroes to take down. Power creep got bad, I soloed grond and mega-d *before* on alert hit.
In game, I am @EvilTaco. Happily killing purple gang members since May 2008. RIP Caine

Yeah we know, but CO was released by Atari originally, but since you're throwing out dates. Champions Online was released in 9/2009, not in 2010 as the person mentioned in the OP was stating. Marvel Universe Online was cancelled in 11/2007 by Microsoft, the same month/year Cryptic announced buying the Champions IP for the conversion to Champions Online which was to be published by 2K Games. Following that, Atari bought Cryptic in 12/2008 who then released the title instead. PWE entertainment did not buy Cryptic until 5/2011, so they had no connection to CO until after its original release (contrary to what the person mentioned stated in the OP).

Thats what I tried to tell this Grim Dark in ren cen but OMG it was like trying to teach maths to a jellyfish. The info was not sinking in :I
You know whats harder trying to explain to Nevernoobs that Cryptic made Neverwinter not PWE and at one point the game was indeed called Neverwinter Nights Online even with actual PROOF.

I'm actually one of those that bought the boxed game published by Cryptic as an independent company at the time when this game first came out. I still have the box itself and manual somewhere around here, those were the days when everyone had to subscribe, and everyone had free form.

I love using my travel power in Millennium City Crisis. I wonder if people seeing me think I'm using hacks.

You're photo-shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few bad anime series in my time.

Atari bought Cryptic in 2008. PWE bought Cryptic from Atari in 2011.
