I am planning to drop my subscription to Champions Online. I am not sharing this because I am angry and want everyone to know it before I leave. My main reason for leaving is that I am in college and can't really justify the money and time I spend on the game.
That being said, I do have some disappointment with the game. The biggest disappointment is the unmet potential of the game, and the game has a lot of potential. It has an interesting campaign back story, the playing mechanics works pretty well, and the character creator is fun, but it feels like Champions is an unwanted step-child when it comes to game development. I've been playing one and off for a few years, and except for the occasional holiday event and the addition of a new beginners adventure. Nothing really have been done to improve play. Further, there are mechanics that serve no purpose for which should be eliminated or for which a purpose should be found. The perk system is the primary example, and I have read more complaints by otherwise dedicated players than I can add here.
I am not saying that because I hope Champions Online drops dead without me. I want it to thrive, and if my money and time restraints improve so that I can return, I hope to find the game going strong when/if I return.
In closing, I have mostly enjoyed the game, but the game and the players who play deserve more care and attention than it is currently receiving.
Thank you, all, and I hope to be around again sometime.

It's automated so you don't even have to bother yourself getting the stuff from any Vendor. Like you had to before.
What other purpose it should have?
So you probably aren't giving your stuff away?

Lifetime was definitely the way to go. I've played the game more than enough to pay off in spades, plus I also go a long breaks. But I always come crawling back, mostly when some cool new costume or power is added.
I kinda feel the same. I haven't gone LTS but I've been considering it for a while now. It's just that I've used the subscription for all these years that I don't know if it's even worth paying that Liftime fee now. What do you think? I just don't know if I should or not.
Your mileage will vary and of course each person will always feel different.
In the current game client, with scarcity and no solid intel on what is coming, my answer would be a solid no, lifetime probably would not be worth it. I got my lifetime back before the game launched and back then things were promising. But, these days with Champions having repeatedly been thrown under the bus in favor of the other two titles, and many promised updates and ideas that were scheduled for Champions being quietly cancelled and instead implemented into the other two titles, I would have never actually gone lifetime now in this climate. I would have probably wanted my money back if it were possible.

Well, anything after this would make this part seem disingenuous, so I'll stop reading here.

Admit it, when that floaty costume piece was first shown, we all thought of Brou.
Some people are slow to process, I guess.
(Hi, bye, see you in another 3-6 months)
Wicks and Things: NW-DI4FMZRR4 : The Fenwick merchant family has lost a caravan! Can you help?
Beggar's Hollow: NW-DR6YG4J2L : Someone, or something, has stolen away many of the Fenwicks' children! Can you find out what happened to them?
Into the Fen Wood: NW-DL89DRG7B : Enter the heart of the forest. Can you discover the secret of the Fen Wood?
It's certainly true for me
Yeah. Been dreading the wet dog smell ever since.
