Lifetime subscription returning to Champions Online despite MMO going free to play next year.

The lifetime subscription tier has returned to Champions Online despite the game going free to play next year. For $300 a user can experince the following benefits,

• No subscription fee: Play without a monthly fee forever! (When Champions Online goes Free-to-Play, Lifetime Subscribers will receive all the benefits of Gold Members in perpetuity!)
• Free digital copy of the game: No need to purchase a retail key. It's included in your Lifetime purchase!
• Foxbat Action Figure - A miniature version of Foxbat to accompany you in-game.
• Art Deco/Art Deco Future Costume Sets - Two free costume sets, original to Champions Online's launch.
• Eight character slots - Create eight different heroes.
• The VIP room - The VIP room in Club Caprice is restricted to Lifetime Subscribers and longtime Champions veterans.
• Exclusive costume piece - Just visit a tailor in-game to add it to your current hero.
• "Vanguard" Perk and title - Show off that you're committed to Champions Online for the duration.
• Forum goodies - Change the color of your handle and show off that Vanguard title on the forums, too.

The company also hinted that more features will be revealed at a later date.

Cryptic Studios and Atari also operate a lifetime subscription with Stark Trek: Online which released earlier this year.
