I haven't posted on here in a long time so thought i'd post a little question, well its a big question actually, are any of you guys still playing the game regulary? I've been logging in quite alot and switching between characters, doing a bit of levelling, hanging around in Club Caprice, doing some alerts etc but theres something missing from my experience........a lack of people to team up with and play the game together and have fun with. Sure i've been with several supergroups over the years but unfortunatley they all seem to die off and most of the players i've met from them have moved on and never seen ingame since, this is also a bit of a plea from me as well, if any of you guys still play regulary, are you in active supergroups? If so could you recommend any to me and what i mean by active supergroups is where teaming up and having fun is a regular thing, doing alerts, Nemcon, Roleplaying or even costume contests or other events. So I would love to hear from you guys because i do still enjoy playing the game even if there are some things that frustate me and i'm sure theres some of you who still enjoy it too

Hey Andy, I'm still here, though at this particular moment I'm more active on Neverwinter because of this new Strongholds expansion (guilds get castles and surrounding environs to build up as their own).

I'm still here, I'm on a lot; I've joined an SG called Paragon Dawn, and it's pretty active, they do stuff all the time; you need to apply at their website, if you want to join. But yeah; most of the other SGs have gone into the wind by now.

Let's just say...my LTS is the only thing that keeps this game installed.

I actually haven't had CO installed for over 2 years now. If they were to add new content and revamp the outdated F2P model I'd probably jump back in. The CO devs deciding that literally selling levels is a good idea though doesn't give me hope for that future.

I play on a regular basis. Like... Farming Vibora Bay on a regular basis. Not doing anything else, though.
And yeah, selling levels ingame is a comedy gold even if it's just a limited time test.
If I needed any better proof that CO heads down the drain, this display of desperation did it.

I log in once or twice a month, perhaps because of my LTS, but it's funny to talk to old friends .... playing other games as STO or Neverwinter

They're selling a new item pack that automatically levels a character from 6 to 30. www.arcgames.com/en/games/champions-online/news/detail/9501473-champions-online%3A-level-30-power-up-packs! So yeah, they're outright selling levels now lol. It's limited time, but still.

I feel like reality just shifted a bit in the direction of Bizarro World after reading that. Did some bit of 30-40 content get released recently and this is to help people jump into it more quickly? I'm pretty sure I'd have heard about any new content being released because that would be pretty major news, yet I'm pretty sure I haven't heard any such news. I can't think of any other reason to sell a level boost in an MMO unless there was something newly added to do at the boosted level. The only content I can think of that's explicitly "high level" outside of lairs (which haven't been updated ever because the devs refuse to touch them because DUMB REASONS) are Rampages and those aren't nearly spectacular enough to warrant throwing down extra dosh to speed level a character over. Leveling isn't even a chore to begin with, it's just really damn linear at the start.
EDIT: I wonder how many people are sick and tired of having to start the game proper in Westside. Enough that Cryptic thinks they can cash in on them?

They supposedly have new content in the works, but nothing actually released. Even if that new content does come out, it will be long after the limited time on that leveling pack has expired. So I don't really know what they were aiming for on this one. It just seems like some random idea out of nowhere. Then again, a good amount of Cryptic's development choices seem like that anyway haha.

It's just Cryptic. If they don't drop the ball they can't feel that they're working.

Nice one, i'll have to check out Paragon Dawm sometime, i did have you on my friends list XStorm, think i deleted you by accident though when clearing out the list so if your still on and playing i'll re-add you Its a shame S.E.C.R.E.T has become dead as a dodo but as you say most supergroups have been going the same way lately.
