Steam's Black Friday Weekend continues. Today one of the deals is City of Heroes: AE edition for $10.

Right now Steam's site seems to be under a DDOS as everybody checks the deals, but drop by here if you have some gift giving to plan : http://store.steampowered.com/early-holiday

The best part about this is that it's at the top of the list, that should bring in a wave of new players

EDIT: Well, it was, it doesn't seem to be anymore though...

Huh... Doesn't that come with a free month in it? Because a $10 whole purchase is still less than a $15 monthly feel.

Also pretty sure you can't apply the same type of code to an account, so you'd end up with a bunch of codes you can't use unless you feel like opening new accounts.

Oh, wait, that'll want to run through Steam, won't it? Oh, well, it was worth a shot.

I just bought it, as I didn't have an "Architect Edition" key on my main account. After you buy it, you have to start installing it via Steam, then it takes you to the PlayNC site and you can just add the key to an existing account. Then you can cancel the Steam install and go about your business.

Nah, it's just buying the code through Steam. The account you put the code on can still be run (like any game bought through steam that wasn't made by valve) normally outside of it.

I just found out that my aborted Steam install made the game think it wasn't installed any more, and the updater tried to install it. If anyone has problems with this, what you have to do is copy the updater to a different directory (because it freaks out if you try to install in the directory the updater is in), then tell it to install where you already have the game. It'll find it and set everything else up right again.

Of course, it's a box code, so you can only have one copy of it on any given CoH account

Doesn't the architect addition come with a code for one of the booster packs too, which is worth $10 by itself?

Choice between Cyborg and Magic, yes.

When Walmart was charging 5 bucks for AoC plus a free month of play, they sold out quite fast - a 6 month sub for only $30

does not work that way

atfer you do the trail, enter architect code, YOU sure must pay for the 2nd month, before your refer account gets the credit

their not That dumb on giving free months away'


however i myself have the good vs evil game, so i just buyed architect
Architect Edition today

and sense the monthly fee is higher then 10 bucks,
30 free days that come with it just paid for it self!

you get 1 month for 10 bucks and THE 10 dollar booster pack, am going to pack magic



anyone that does not have the architect game already on their account and plans to play this game longer then their current paid time

would be crazy to pass this deal up,

the fact its cheaper then 1 month fee makes it a great deal by it self
the free 10 buck booster pack of magic, makes it a steal!

about 16 hours left, Buy it while you have time people!

they may as will be giving away the booster pack for buying a month worth of game time

Are you sure? I've done this before with cheap box copies...

EDIT: It seems you are right.

Yes am sure

e-mail a free 10-day trial serial code to a friend. Should your friend buy a standard account and PAY for one MONTH of subscription to City of Heroes®/City of Villains®, you will be automatically credited with one month of free game time!


devil in the details


also about the 2 booster packs to pack form

magic set rules with its random buff powers to allies or PETS!,
am a mm, so a random 20m buff on all my pets, is nice to have


here the link to booster packs and videos/pics of what you get

magic
https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/St...tem&item_id=89


Cyborg
https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/St...tem&item_id=77



magic is hands down the best and the cyborg Self-Destruct Power is a joke, trust me, i seen a friend who used it, don't even think twice about it

only people i see who could want cyborg booster package is maybe a Robot MM theme or someone with a role playing char of being a robot/cyborg

magic just hands down rules,plus everyone likes your buffs


edit: more useful links

You used to be able to chain free trials on one account as well.

According to PK, you can have as many duplicate booster pack codes, so I didn't expect they'd have a limitation on that.

I've been chaining box codes. I have purchased a month, of course, but between the AE Edition, the Mac Pack, and a $4 Copy of CoV, I think I've spent more money on Superboosters than my subscription...

Yes, you can do that. My account has all of them also. But you can't buy a second Mac Pack or AE Edition and put it on the same account a second time.

Guess I don't even know about that one, which power thingy is it? I'm pretty sure I've tried reading that Tarot fortune for pets and been told invalid target.

Except that when you pop it you don't get debt (or so I've heard). Pretty nice to have if you accidentally stumble into a crowd and want to to save yourself from debt, if not ignoble defeat.
