Dont have to Preorder to get into the Open beta...you can get a key from File PLanet (Of course). Not a bad idea. I say Cudos cryptic

Edit: Actually I don't know why I retracted my first statement. There's no sourced information of a developer actually saying it, and trying to find it via Cryptic's site, Fileplanet, and Google I can't find any information saying that they will be giving out free keys without requiring you to subscribe to Fileplanet.

From Fileplanet currently:

"Champions Online Beta
is for FilePlanet subscribers only"

Hmm... too bad. I would really like to participate in this beta. If anyone have a key they don't need I would be very grateful for a PM.

Well it's pretty idiotic still, that a company representitive makes a claim that today it would be free to everyone, while it clearly isn't the case!

But then again, nothing suprises me from Cryptic anymore.

What they gonna do? Wait till everyone is in bed? It's 7PM here already.

That's a funny failure statement, but so have been many Cryptic announcements, so I'm not impressed.

Free for everyone to join as long as you pre order or pay a FP subscription.

The down load is free only if you are a paying member of Fileplanet.   Found that out when I tried to download Champions using the free Fileplanet membership.

I just completed the d/l from fileplanet.  I am not a subscriber, but i do have an account with them.

Yes, I just downloaded as well. But you still need a Beta key and that you don't get. It still redirects you to the FP subscribers page!

Sweet!!

/sigh

at least i have it downloaded =\

I just got a free Beta Key from File Planet. They must have just enabled it for free members.

Ive heard from several people they got a key with onnly the 'free' accounts and not paying anything.

Just wondering, whats a subscription to fileplanet cost?

ya, they opened it to everyone now. so feel free to get your keys, i think you at least need to register though.
