I think if the word "pay" comes up at all, it will still sting their player-base.

I am a bit confused tho. Will I need to spend 29.99 on the pre order and then 39.99 on the complete edition? Or will one purchase go towards the other. I want to pre-order, but I also want the complete edition.

Fine by me
If you put a gun to my head and made me make a wager, I'd say the GR preorders go out late march/early april with formal and full closed beta starting around the same time (Some elements notwithstanding like powersets hittign earlier) with I17 hitting test ASAP.

Gods damn NO, don't get me excited by this stuff! Thats not fair!! >_<

I'm going to assume it's on test, until confirmed. I Only just replaced my cerebral core after that first announcement...
It's odd phrasing - isn't it? Using "and" between March & April makes it seem like it is specific and exclusive to those 2 months. Like getting the pre-order gets you into a specific portion of beta....

I expect this kind of crack from certain wanks, but not you Marcian.
Are you seriously suggesting that Champions Online doesn't have anything to do with similar features in City of Heroes? The Going Rogue announcement came out before Champions Online's release, but the CO feature set was public long before Going Rogue was announced.

Competition is sometimes innovating and sometimes copying and sometimes improving.

This is fantastic news!

I'm surprise Perfect Pain hasn't posted yet...oh wait, there's not a whole lot to complain about since we've gotten an update. :P

I did the Loyalty and I'm a 63 month (almost 66) vet. I'm fairly confident I'll have a spot in the closed testing. The only problem is that I'm working a lot this week. So... I guess I won't be getting much sleep.

But it'd only be for the extras - the things they want most over there - zones/missions - would be free.
Sure, there''d still be some rage, but it'd be less.
I'm not sure Atari would totally reverse the payment decision, as they must have already worked it into their business plans - so spinning off the extras as paid-for, and making the zone and misisons free would be a sort of compromise for both sides.

This is interesting and I like it.

Really good news!

Epics at 20? That sounds cool... the question is, will it be HEATS and VEATS as we have now or is there something else coming unlockable at 20?

This is where I curse my parents for being stick in the muds and not letting me get the game earlier...*sigh*
I really want to test Pistols. Im also a rampant nit-picker when it comes to bugs.
I just never got into any Closed Beta's before, so no bug testing

"Great. That's what I wanted to hear...that you'll be playing with yourself even MORE!"

As cool as it is that we're getting additional info, note that this announcement includes not a peep on the new end game system that Posi and his team of minions are working on. So there is more in the way of big reveals yet to come.
