Champions Online will support micro-transactions, but contrary to the concerns of some people, the game is not '˜based' on them. There are the basic tenets for our micro-transactions:

• The vast majority are aesthetic items, such as costume pieces, action figures, emblems, etc.


• A very few are account-level management tools, such as being able to rename a character


• Micro-transactions should never limit your ability to enjoy the game or reach the level cap


• Any micro-transaction that has a game effect can also be earned in the game through play

Also, it's important to note that the overwhelming majority of micro-transactions are account-wide. This means if you buy a costume piece or an action figure, every character on your account gets it.

Finally, many of the pre-order programs that we're finalizing now have cryptic points associated with them. This is a way for us to allow our players to choose their own pre-order reward(s) which falls into our whole customization concept for Champions Online.
