1m characters created in Champs Online News

MMO PC News by Robert Purchese

30 October, 2009

Cryptic Studios' Champions Online has witnessed more than one million characters created since launch. Note, however, that the MMO allows each account to make more than one hero, meaning there probably aren't that many players.

The announcement comes as a free Champions Online weekend gets under way. From 5pm UK time today until Monday 2nd November, anyone can download the game client and try the Spandex spoils on offer.

This promotion aims to show off the new Blood Moon update. This introduces the new Celestial support and healing powerset and the Zombie Apocalypse player-versus-player map (in which fallen players are resurrected as the enemy), as well as the Blood Moon event itself, in which players will fight undead heroes, werewolves and the undead king Takofanes.

Might as well. Check out our Champions Online review for a detailed analysis.

That probably means about 300-400K players. Not bad... about the same as CoH. A healthy number if they can keep it up...

@Dizzy - well considering it was in the shadow of 'the next best MMO'' ala Aion - 300k is still stupidly good, same can be said with fallen earth, all three releases were near a week within each other and all started well..

As you said I hope it keeps up

Does this 1 mill created include deleted characters and canceled accounts? I know I've created about a dozen or so and deleted them. I also have all my slots filled. Best part of the game is the character creator.

Again, during the beta I created two or three characters but was never interested in buying the actual game.
I see they're still active on my account via the website though, so I'd say these numbers are somewhat misleading.

I myself have created 18 characters, and never even activated my key. The character creator is just that good. The game, needs either work, or unwork.

Champions Online seems like a completely different game from the one that was originally released. I myself have 5 characters now and am still loving being a hero. This Bloodmoon thing is a lot of fun as well.

I would be surprised if they have over 100.000 active subscribers . I created 8 characters before giving up on the game
