The February Bonus for Gold Subscribers is almost here, heroes: the Stovepipe Hat and Beard costume piece! This awesome bonus will be available starting on February 1^st, but will only be available until February 28^th!

This is a new bonus perk for subscribers only, as an addition to freeform power selection and all the other benefits of being a Champions Online Gold Member. You'll be able to claim them from a new NPC in the Renaissance Center, the Gold Bonus Vendor. (Want to learn about becoming a Gold member? Read more here.)

If you are resolutely determined to make a Champion of yourself, the thing is more than half done already! This awesome Stovepipe Hat and Beard will assist you in your journey. These unique costume pieces are available for both, the female and male Champions!

These exclusive costume pieces are only available to Gold Members, and are only claimable during the calendar month, from the first of the month until the end of the month. These releases are extra-special, because after they rotate out, they're gone for good!

If you absolutely gotta have a costume piece in our backlog, though, get yourself a Lifetime Subscription. In addition to getting all the benefits of subscribing, you'll be able to access a Lifetime-only backlog at the Gold Bonus Vendor NPC, where you can get all the Gold Bonus costume pieces we've released. Make sure to sign up for a Lifetime Subscription.

This will only be available for subscribers until February 28^th, so make sure your subscription is up to date, heroes!

Charge ZEN now and pick up the latest items on the C-Store, or upgrade to Gold and get bonuses including freeform power selection, Gold costume sets, and Veteran Rewards!
