Champions Online to support Twitter

By Oli Welsh Published 3 July, 2009

In-game tweeting hits the beta.

In Cryptic's latest roundup on the state of its superhero MMO, Champions Online, it mentions that it's adding an in-game Twitter system to the beta.

The details of how it works are still under NDA, but we're guessing it will allow you to use Twitter without alt-tabbing out to your browser and leaving your persistent alter ego alone for a second.

Funnily enough, we've also just stumbled across TweetCraft, a third-party Twitter add-on for World of Warcraft that does just the same. WOW.com has the details.

    "I am grinding mutants of some description"
    "I'm flying about like Superman :D"
    "I'm fighting a big super mutant with some other Superman 'inspired' heroes"
    "we got killed because I was too busy describing what I was doing"

    It's a nice feature I suppose, there are times in the likes of WAR I've done stuff that I've wanted to boast about there and then.

    this seem so pointless, who the **** cares about what people are doing in a MMO, infact who cares what other people are doing in general really. this whole social networking crap is getting so out of hand. reminds me of those silly womens mags you see what are full of pointless gossip about celebs and stupid stories like "my husband ate my baby" or some other shit like that.

    just people writing and reading pointless crap all day.

    or the worst of all big brother, really is a bunch of twats stitting in their house watching a bunch of other twats sitting in a house. really i dont get why people are so interested in other peoples lives?? are their own lives that boring that they get enjoyment from reading about other peoples all the time.

    hmm i seem to have gone slightly off topic here ranting away to myself, well anyway i think its a pointless feature, but then i dont have to use it and im sure plenty of others will, so i guess its a good idea really
