Champions Online
Encyclopedia
Champions Online is a free-to-play
(with optional subscription) superhero
-themed massively multiplayer online
role-playing game by former City of Heroes
/Villains
developer Cryptic Studios
based on the Champions
license. The game's rules and setting are loosely based on the HERO System
ruleset. The game has only been released for Microsoft Windows
: An Xbox 360
version of the game was in development, but canceled in March 2010.
The game is more action-oriented than most MMO
s. Successful attacks and blocks increase a power meter which can then be spent to unleash more powerful actions. Death is handled in a similar manner to City of Heroes, in which a player may choose to be revived by a teammate or respawn at a neutral site, except respawning does not accrue experience debt. Instead, upon death you lose one of your five possible accrued Hero Stars. These stars are earned for staying alive while defeating NPCs. Your character gains bonuses to their effectiveness for every star earned (percentage increases to damage, healing, etc.).
Unlike most MMOs, there are no armor pieces or armor sets to collect. Instead character dress is purely unique and cosmetic, as are most weapons - damage is calculated using the character's basic stats, with the addition of extra devices. Reflecting the game's original design as a console game, characters also possess much fewer skills than standard MMOs; however each skill can be highly customized with a variety of player-chosen "Advantages". This tends to make the game much faster-paced and less of a "grind" than traditional MMOs. The level cap is 40, with special endgame content and gameplay at the cap.
The game features an "orb system" where enemies defeated by the player may drop orbs that temporarily benefit the hero's powers, life, or energy.
The game includes non-combat crafting skills, based on Science, Arms, and Magic, each of these has three other specializations players can choose under them. There are also a variety of travel powers, including swinging using webs or grappling hooks, flying, fire flying, jet-boot flying, rocket boot jumping, hover disks, super jump, super speed, teleportation, acrobatics (fast running, leaps and flips), ice sliding, earth flying, and tunneling.
A special region called "the underground circuit" allows player vs. player competition. Also, Stronghold, the setting's advanced prison for super-powered inmates, is used for player vs. player scenarios, in which the player will take on the role of a supervillain trying to break out or a superhero trying to contain them.
Locations include:
, with additions such as the ability to edit a hero's movement animations, such as a beast-like hero opting to run and leap on all fours. The player may also edit the color and firing position of their powers, such as changing a power's energy animation from red to green or changing the animation to fire from the head instead of the palms.
Another difference from City of Heroes was the original elimination of any character class or archetype system; characters can take any skill or power. However since the launch of the "Free for All" version of the game, freeform character creation was limited to Gold members, and several archetypes were introduced for both Gold (subscriber) members and Silver (free to play) members. The game also supports solo play throughout a hero's career if desired.
as well as the sale of their Intellectual Properties City of Heroes
and City of Villains
to developer and publisher NCsoft
in November 2007. On February 28, 2008, Cryptic announced they had purchased the entire Champions intellectual property
, licensing the rights to publish the 6th edition back to former owner Hero Games
. The 6th edition books will synergistically
allow players to adapt their Champions Online characters to the pen-and-paper roleplaying game.
On July 10, 2008, 2K Games
announced they would be publishing the game. Registration for the closed beta testing period was announced on October 10, 2008. However, on December 17, 2008, 2K Games officially dropped the publishing of the game due to the take over of Cryptic by Atari

MMO.
Release was originally set for July 14,, but on May 16, 2009, Cryptic announced that Champions Online would be delayed and the game was officially released September 1. Executive producer and design director Bill Roper
cited that the team needed more time to implement important features that the beta test group felt were necessary at launch.
As announced by Cryptic in July, 2009, the game includes Micro-Transaction purchases. Most items available for purchase are vanity items that do not affect gameplay, such as costume pieces and ingame action figures. Any items that do affect gameplay are also accessible through gameplay only. All items purchased are available to all characters on the account.
On July 20, 2009, a post on the official Champions Online Discussion Forum from a Cryptic online community representative addressed the lack of any announcements regarding plans to release Champions Online on Xbox 360. It stated that "it has always been, and still remains our intent to release on consoles, and as soon as we're able to share more information about it, we will", and alluded to unfinalized business deals with other, unspecified companies which prohibited the disclosure of more specific details. The community rep's post also noted that the Xbox 360 FAQ had been removed from the Champions Online website. In a podcast interview for the gaming website vg247.com dated August 28, 2009, Jack Emmert elaborated on the issue, stating that the Xbox 360 version is "ready to go" but is facing an indefinite delay while awaiting Microsoft's approval, which is not readily forthcoming due to Microsoft's indecision on how to implement MMO's across Xbox Live.
On August 17, 2009, Cryptic opened up their Beta servers for access through August 25 to allow the community to test and trial the system as well as submit bug reports, and the game officially launched September 1, 2009. Those who pre-ordered the game gained instant access to the Open Beta on August 17, and some of those who pre-ordered (depending on their retailer) also gained access to an "Early Start" on the live servers beginning on August 28.
On September 1, 2009, Champions Online became available for purchase instores as well as shipped out from online stores. Pre-Order players were given until September 4 to enter their new product key to continue playing. The purchase included one free month of play and a special item specific to the retailer.
The game was originally available to paid subscribers only, but moved to the Free-to-play model on January 25, 2011.

Locations
The action takes place in the Champions universe, featuring Champions characters as NPCs. Regions include urban sprawls, dinosaur-infested islands, underground ruins, and underwater lairs. Each region in the game is composed of several "instances" with up to 100 players per instance at any one time. This allows the game to run on one huge virtual server, and for players to travel freely between instances to join with other players, rather than the game being sharded into different servers. Many missions take place within smaller instances created specially for a team entering them. These instances are reset if you leave and return. It is possible to revisit the same region to redo some missions again and again.A special region called "the underground circuit" allows player vs. player competition. Also, Stronghold, the setting's advanced prison for super-powered inmates, is used for player vs. player scenarios, in which the player will take on the role of a supervillain trying to break out or a superhero trying to contain them.
Locations include:
- Canada and its constituent areas
- Force Station Steelhead
- Burial Butte
- Millennium City, a high tech city built on the ruins of Detroit
- Lemuria City, an underwater city
- American Southwestern Desert and its constituent areas
- Project Greenskin
