Champions Online Becomes Long-Running Superhero MMO In Their Ninth Year

As Champions Online reaches their ninth year, they have officially become the long-running Superhero MMORPG in gaming history.  City of Heroes/Villains was passed up earlier this month, and there is an in-game event running from April 26th through May 3rd called Still Standing. The fate of the Earth will be in the hands of the players in this gripping event. We also have a handy infographic with some information from the nine years of Champions Online. Still Standing also brings several other in-game/external events to Champions Online:

• Save the Earth! – Champions must travel to a space station, high above Millennium City, and battle with their own personal Nemesis to save the world.
• Double XP – For the week of the celebration, Champions can enjoy double the experience as they fight their way to new levels of power.
• Origins Costume Contest – Calling all players! The team is offering the chance to win original Champions Online concept art for players willing to compete by showing off their interpretation of their hero’s very first costume.
• Players will also be able to unlock a brand new Cosmic Cape and Inner Power Aura during the event
