That's right, the offer that's so popular we couldn't just confine it to Fridays! We're reintroducing the Freedom Friday feature for a limited time, and renaming it to Freedom Freebies! We're going to celebrate the U.S. Independence Day in style by giving everyone a free hat (because nothing says Freedom like hats)! That's right, by simply logging in between now and Monday, July 9th at 9:00 AM PDT/12:00 PM EDT/5:00 PM BST and claiming the Freedom Freebie offer from the Paragon Market, you can be the proud owner of one limited edition Tri-Corner Hat!

So bust out your fife, pack your muzzle loaded musket and celebrate City of Heroes Freedom in 18th Century style with the Freedom Freebie offer!

Does the fact that Freedom Freebies is for a limited time mean that this program is now in "gamma" (following beta) and will later return in a similar form permanently?

"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill

Free hats?

Are we sure that CoH isn't secretly TF2?

Oh man - wouldn't that be great if they did that? It's happened, but not nearly as often as it should.

I can only assume this is to encourage opening the store on a weekly basis and surrounding the freebie with other appealing sales and featured stuff.

Free hat! Free Hat!



On topic: Like this concept better. The whole Friday, not being on Friday everywhere made it odd.

Does anyone know what costume piece the character on the left of the Freedom Freebie announcement is wearing? The reddish top with buttons on both sides?

I believe that's the Elemental Order chest piece, found under Robes if you've unlocked it.

Thank you very much for all previous, current and future freebies. I admit to being ungracious about a few things in the game, but I do appreciate these (and much other work that goes unmentioned.)

Love the hat, does the the hair color have to be the same as the hat color? My toon has black hair, but I'd like to have a different color hat than black. Just asking.

Be careful playing with time like that... one wrong number and the sale could end up starting back in 1955! Then it'll have to make sure its father asks its mother to the Enhancement Under The Sea dance.
