I played this game in beta and thought id just check the price and see if its worth the free month and noticed this 

 

http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/6080087/Champions-Online/Product.html

 

On Play.com which is mainly for UK/Europe its only £1.99? Im in no ways a fan boy just thought id share this with everyone here who ever thought about playing it as its free postage aswell, so good result!

Currently playing : Darkfall
Character name : Aeola Anara
Played: Almost every P2P MMO you can get your hands on, notably:
Daoc, SWG, LOTRO, WAR, AoC + Dozens more

Wow, that's seriously cheap, I bought mine for £4.99 from Gamestation which is good enough. I'm currently playing this game and I love it, I admit it's a lot more fun then most online Fantasy games. The only thing I'm disappointed with was that I couldn't have a travel ability that enables my jet-pack on my character. I'm surpraised Champions Online is so cheap in the first place, if I manage to beat everything in the game then maybe I could try City of Heroes next or DC Universe Online when that comes out.

Yeah, I really should make a screenshot of my sexy babe, this is the first MMO I've played for ages that I actually like plus I'm glad I can get to play as something I really like, I've always been a fan of ranged characters in MMO's.

I really don't see anything wrong with this game, true that it doesn't have as much content as City of Heroes but it's still enjoyable.

Champions isnt a serious in depth MMO, but if you need a wee change and want some quick fun then £1.99 is a real bargain.

I hate burger king. I'm on my way there to tell them how much i hate everything about them.

 

Anyone know if i buy the game and stack the game time like in STO?

Just to let you know, a beta test isn't for you to try the game. You go out of your way to help the developers out, not go "DERP, GAME R BAD RAEGQUIT" and then do nothing at all to help.

 I hate to agree here but I guess if you've never played it 1.99 isn't too terrible, now I've played it and know I disliked it enough to not play it for free but I've seen people be entertained by games I thought were just as bad if not worse than this one.

I couldn't get past the starter zone though too cheesy for me, I honestly thought it was a big step down from COH so I could never justify playing it myself.

This is the perfect quickie game. Easy to play off and on and not be completely lost. I was considering playing it again for a bit. I like it better than STO but both are good quickie games.

£1.99! Can't argue with that beeing a bargin no matter what you think of the game.  Personaly I don't think very highly of it, but even so, that right there is a good deal.

Someone already questioned this on Steam forums when a guy bought 5 copies but no one answered.  However, I have ordered a copy since imo £1.99 is nothing when it comes to maybe getting a free month, if not I can always make 2 referals and get a month for £3.98 which is still cheap so its win-win scenario imo.  Hell I might even give away the referred accounts if I can't use the key myself.

::UPDATE::

I can confirm that this does NOT give you an extra month, it doesn't even allow you to apply the key.
