Greetings, Champion! We’ve got some big news we wanted to share with you right away. Beginning Q1 2011, Champions Online will offer a free-to-play gameplay option. Everyone can download, play and enjoy Champions Online at absolutely no cost! All you’ll need to do is download the game and begin playing. It will be a great opportunity to head back to the Champions universe to see what’s changed, spend time with your friends and enjoy a top-tier MMO without spending a dime. We’re sure you have a lot of questions. That’s good! We’re looking forward to working with you to answer them. Right now, we’ve set up a new short FAQand a special Q&A forum to begin answering your more in-depth questions.

We plan on entering our free-to-play beta on November 9, and to launch the new, free-to-play version of Champions Online in the first quarter of 2011. We can’t wait to grow the game with you, and we hope you’re as excited as we are! As always, thanks for your continued support. We’ll see you in Millennium City! -The Champions Online Team

Sounds like you have to buy it again, could be wrong.

If its cheaper I might buy it again.  It had a free to play fun vibe.

If this is surprising to anyone , they've had their head up their ass.  The question now begs how far behind are Cryptics other products. It's been obvious this was the design for the all their products from the beginning.
