I suggest pestering them incessantly until it appears.

I met up with Joose today, his clown is scary.
I made a new guy called Dan. He's dirty and shoots things.

Then I went to eat, when I came back Joose had another dude. He appears to be an 80's robot.

We're prolific alters, this is Joose's Vicar.

I got rid of Alistair, my gadgeteer.

And then made some weird dual-swords lady, and met up with Berk's 'Red Wing'.

Spoooodie or other oranges, can you move this to the MMO forum now the NDA is over, as we're in open beta?

Looks like they're giving keys to non-fail planet subscribers now. I just asked for one but it says it's on hold or something. I'm downloading the client while I wait.

Hahahaha this game has the most ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEALs of anything.

Including mine

Game= bought Six month sub = bought. I'm currently resisting playing my lvl16 massive angry robot more, because I know full well the chars get wiped tomorrow.

Also bought bumming crusade. Guess I might even play it at some point.

Presumably the early start program characters wont be wiped. Email says it starts on 28th.

I'm loving the ability to save costumes in the character creator. I can spend ages on it and not worry about having to finish, just load up the next time and finish it off. The creator is almost as good as the game. I meant to check but do the saved costumes appear as files you can share?

Post by **HereComesPete** » August 23rd, 2009, 22:23

I think it's a reset and fettle post-beta so everyone who's pre-ordered gets a nice fresh set of character slots to start with on the 28th.

I doubt you can share the costume files, there's in-game unlockable and exclusive costume pieces, possibly they'll make an out of game char viewer that you can share your stuff on.

Dammmmmn I didn't realise the beta was almost up.

There are storyline supervillains dotted around the different areas, this one is a nasty big radioactive one thats' been fucking Canada over with mutants.

Recieve game key, enter it into the champs website, log in as normal.

Yeah, it's capped unless you have a sub.

Still, you get to experience the joys of the starting areas for the first time when you play!
