So it looks like September 1st is the new launch date for Champions Online. Apparently this is ‘critically important’, you know as opposed to just important or just critical.

From Cryptic:

It is critically important for an MMO to be as good as it possibly can be at launch. Through our constant dialogue with our vocal and supportive community of beta testers, we quickly realized that in order to implement certain features that we all considered important the development of Champions Online would require more time. So that’s what we’re going to give it. Cryptic has a proven track record of releasing solid games and we want to maintain that with Champions Online.
