Atari has announced that the MMORPG Champions Online is now free-to-play. Sort of.
Champions Online is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game that gives gamers the ability to create their own superheroes and battle evil forces. The game still offers subscription service in the form of a gold membership that gives players extra content like special costumes, more inventory bag slots and veteran rewards(Champions Online Gold).
Even if gamers can do not subscribe, they can still purchase items a la carte, which allows access to individual features instead of a bulk of undesirable aspects. Apart from the Adventure Packs that open new areas, gamers can now access the entire Champions Online world without paying a cent(Champions Gold).
