Its off to a shaky start. We had a code, but the website kept crashing before it could be validated so we didn’t get to take a look.
The actually process for signing for the beta is very ackward compared to free realms. You have to validate a code, then go to another site and do something, then you get to download.
In free realms, not only could you download from the main party, rather than some cheap third party site, but the process was more simple and it worked.
Champions Online is not doing a true Open beta, and still can’t manage to avoid bugs or crashs.
Its a bit embarassing for a game that wants to be AAA. I’ve seen much cheaper games have a better system.
Currently their open beta help thread is even down.
