The beta starts 8/17/09.
EDIT: they're also offering a lifetime subscription to Champions online for 200 bucks... not bad if the game turns out to be worthwhile.
After reviewing the screenshots and videos.
I have decided to buy the game. Looks really cool.
*installing*
EDIT: 3.6gig patch. It doesn't say but from watching the overall progress I would estimate the download speeds to be around 25-50kbps. OUCH!!!
20MB at 1:42PM (I'll post progress later on)
Almost forgot, I was perusing the forums and a lot of people are already bailing on the game. There's still hope though since a lot of people simply expect beta to be perfect then cry when it's... well... beta.
I left for an hour and came back to a null crash. Looks like the patch wants to start over from the beginning.
They should offer the patch through torrents. In fact, maybe check into that.. maybe some other poor bastard has gone through the download, and started seeding it.

waiting in line for the dl now, this is gonna take a while.
Farlo, don't bother. The patch is JUNK. I had it running for almost a week straight. It was crashed every time I came back to the computer.
Eventually it stopped telling me the progress and just told me "patching..."
actually it patched for me flawlessly in less than 10 minutes last night, played for about an hour, game is a little buggy, but thats to be expected with beta's, the character customization is really in depth and one of the best ive seen in any mmo.
Someone should create a complete up to date torrent and upload it.
People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.
I overwrote the install with the installer again and it patched instantly.
This game has by far the most awesome character customization I've ever seen.
