Today is the official launch day for Champions Online (http://www.champions-online.com) and judging by the positive responses we've received from Twitter (http://twitter.com/WoWInsider/status/3671422149), we know many of you are excited to at least try out this new superhero MMO. Below is a round-up of helpful posts for your first days in Millenium City, courtesy of our sister site, Massively. If you're feeling a bit lost in the new surroundings, they have you covered with a special in-game meet-up event (http://www.massively.com/2009/08/31/join-us-at-champions-onlines-launch/) happening all day.

If you've been wondering what the starting area for Champions Online was like in moving pictures, you'll be happy to know that a two-part video has surfaced online for your viewing pleasure. The video is new gameplay footage blended a little bit with older trailers. Overall, if you're looking to see what the game actually looks like while being played, this video is a decent place to start. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2009/08/running824fdd_thumbnail.jpg (http://www.massively.com/2009/08/26/ten-things-to-know-when-starting-champions-online/) Ten things to know when starting Champions Online (http://www.massively.com/2009/08/26/ten-things-to-know-when-starting-champions-online/)
Every time a new MMO launches, there's always a good list of things that wouldn't hurt for a new player to know, and Champions Online is no different. We're all about making your first steps into an unknown game as grief free as possible, so check out Syp's list if you're interested in such a proposal. He's got a very good rundown on things you need to know when entering the tutorial zone. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2009/08/hdisc27843_thumbnail.jpg (http://www.massively.com/2009/08/19/travel-powers-trailer-for-champions-online/) Travel powers trailer for Champions Online (http://www.massively.com/2009/08/19/travel-powers-trailer-for-champions-online/)
Yeah, we know the Champions Online open beta is out and many of you have probably been messing around with all these travel powers already, but it's always nice to get a preview of all your options in one nicely packaged trailer. Plus, trailers are a great way to kill a minute or five, depending on the game in question. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2009/08/yhyuh54u5wt_thumbnail.jpg (http://www.massively.com/2009/08/03/the-digital-continuum-five-reasons-to-play-champions-online/) The Digital Continuum: Five reasons to play Champions Online (http://www.massively.com/2009/08/03/the-digital-continuum-five-reasons-to-play-champions-online/)
It's been a long wait since the announcement of Cryptic's next project, so long that some of us began to run around our houses wearing towels around our necks. Thankfully, September 1st is now less than a month away. Open beta? That's even sooner. Before we know it the game will be sitting on our desks and shelves.
