First Champions Online update detailed

And it's not even out yet
Cryptic has detailed the first major update coming to Champions Online... even though the box itself isn't out in Europe yet.

Titled Blood Moon and due out next month, the update has evil overlord Takofanes and his army of undead ghouls attacking Millenium City and the rest of the world, which sounds like a laugh.

If you fall to the horde you'll apparently rise again as one of the undead yourself. Likewise, die at the hands of the warewolves and you'll come back as one.

Its a fun game plagued with launch bugs etc. Im having fun though..
Its great that they're making these update come thick and fast..i just hope you can stay a werewolf if you want.

Definitely a Hallowe'en release then, huh?

I doubt they'll let you stay a werewolf though - odds are it'll just be an instance-specific shape. Otherwise all existing players will get the ability and new players will miss out, then there'd be hell to pay Smile

Looking forward to this. Been playing the headstart since Friday and it's quite good. Not as bad as I was expecting for a launch MMO. Still get people moaning on the zone channel all the time because they made the game a bit more challenging though. Some people, ey?

@jazzy_p: what's you character and username? And what level?

Played this since closed beta stages, though really started to play it less and less, I just simply prefer City of Heroes over this.

What? You mean the people who have been playing and paying longer get stuff that people who only started dont..and thats bad?

Kang is the name..currently lvl15. So much server downtime aint good for the lvling. Lockon21 otherwise.
