A year after making the switch to decaf, er, free-to-play, Champions Online is livelier than ever. To celebrate the super-powered boost that F2P gave, Cryptic Studios is hosting special events both in and out of the game.

From today through the end of the month, players can enjoy a hefty 20% discount on anything in the C-Store (excluding grab bags). So if you've been eying that special outfit or archetype, now might be the time to nab it.

If you're not looking to spend any money but don't mind partying with the stars, there's plenty of fun to go around. For the rest of the anniversary event, characters can fly through the levels due to a double XP boost at their backs, courtesy of Witchcraft. Another hero, The Mountain, will be selling Halloween and Winter Gift Bags with in-game currency. Mr. The Mountain also has a special mission for those who want to earn his trademarked Mountain Costume pieces.

"livelier than ever"

You're a liar and a fool. CO is a ghost town and the coming "Secondary super stats" nerf ...I mean "New Game Enhancements"...will finish off the rest of the population.

There has been no significant leveling content in two years now.

The game is done. It will not see a third anniversary in September. I 100% guarantee you this.

Get out now.

Well it's clear you don't like the game...

Ghost town? What game are you playing? Log onto the game right now. There's plenty of people playing and plenty of people spending money. Stop overreacting.
