Fully intend to support both The Phoenix Project and Heroes and Villains when they get to a playable point. I've even heard a whisper or two about something called Valiance Online.
I've never tried Champions Online. I think. I might have done a few hours of a beta, just the once, years ago. So, let's say, out of desperation, I would today want to check it out. What would that entail?
I'm assuming the DVD of the game, or perhaps a digital download. I would bet that a DVD purchased today would need lots of game updating. Cost to start playing the game? (purchase links appreciated)
Monthly subscription? Or Free To Play with a subscription option that unlocks more things?
If going the FTP route, am I locked out of a large chunk of costume/power options?
I'm guessing there's a store. If not subscribing monthly, what might be the "essential" things I might want to purchase? (I'm thinking along the lines of archetypes, powersets, costume options)
Like many, the CoH costume creator was one of the biggest draws for me. Looking over the pictures of other people's characters posted in the other thread, I have a MIGHTY itch to at least play with the costume creator, even if it costs me money just to play dress-up.
Thanks for any and all help!
