Tweet

Remember the days when you were able to resist the allure of a new MMORPG by saying to yourself “It looks cool, but I can’t pay for more than one game every month.”? Well, those days are on the fast track to becoming a thing of the past. Atari has announced that next year, Champions Online will join the Free-to-Play ranks of Lord of the Rings Online, Dungeons and Dragons Online and Guild Wars, among others.

The MMO’s website claims that they’ll be launching the Free-to-Play version sometime in Quarter 1, 2011, but that a closed beta is planned to being on November 9, 2010. So, unfortunately for you dear MMO player, it looks like you have an ever-increasing list of games you don’t have to pay for to play, and yet will suck the life out of you all the same. Knowing that you’re not going to have to pay to play some sweet MMORPGs, do you really even need to go to work anymore?
