The Champions Online Website outlines the return of their six-month and lifetime subscription offers through Monday after announcing they were sold out (thanks Zanger). Perhaps unsurprisingly, this has sparked demand, and they ask patience if you experience problems with their account server, though these issues may be worked out by now. Here's the deal:

Earlier this week, we gave notice that we were running out of special Lifetime and 6-month promotional subscriptions. Within a day, the rest of our supply had been sold out, leaving a number of you confused and upset. The response to this promotion has been overwhelming and we want to thank everyone who posted on our forums, called customer service and sent e-mails over these past few days.

After further consideration, and to meet the needs of our community, we have decided to reinstate the Lifetime and 6-month subscription promotional programs with no supply limit until 11:59 p.m. (Pacific time) on August 31st.

At Cryptic, we are dedicated to our community. We look forward to seeing you when Champions Online launches this September!
