As noted on the Champions Online Official Website announces open beta testing of Cryptic's MMORPG is underway. This is not quite as open as all that, as you must be a preorder customer or a paid FilePlanet subscriber to participate. There was a post on their website earlier with workarounds for problems with a client patch that was apparently a staggering 3GB download, but the post has been deleted, so this issue may have been resolved along the way. Also, a new "Travel Powers" trailer from the game shows off how to get from here to there in the game while saving on bus fare. You can find the clip on GameTrailers.com. According to Massively, Bill Roper is preparing a statement on beta issues that will be released shortly.
