Non-Disclosure Agreement Still On

I just reread the Champions Online Preview Non-Disclosure Agreement and it states it runs until the retail version of the game is out or until Cryptic Studios says it has been lifted.

That means unless I get something from Cryptic in writing, I cannot talk about specific parts of the beta game here.

However, I CAN talk about what's on the Champions Online website and my intentions in this upcoming open beta process.

In the coming days, I want to experiment with the Gadgeteering and Martial Arts - Unarmed power sets.

By the end of the closed beta, I want to have knowledge of all of the power sets so when I make my main character in the retail game, I will have full knowledge of which powers are best to get.

My best MMORPG experience has been on City Of Heroes/Villains and I hope to continue that with Champions Online.

Closed Beta Is Over; Open Beta Begins Monday

I've been playing Champions Online in closed beta for about a week and I'm very used to the game now. I tried to learn as much as I can about different power sets and how to use them effectively. I'm also very well-versed in the costume creator.

The game is now going into open beta this Monday and it looks like the game will be on 24/7. The game has evolved during the short time I've been in closed beta and I hope the open beta game will be close to the final retail game.

Up until now, I've had to bite my tongue about talking about the game during closed beta because of the non-disclosure agreement. I'll need to check this but I believe that during open beta there is no NDA.

I have already pre-ordered the game and signed up for a lifetime membership so I'm in this for the long haul.

I'm very excited to share what I love about this game very soon.
