There's a Party in Renaissance Center!

Heroes! Since your arrival in Millennium City, you have worked together to thwart a Qularr Invasion, hold the front lines at the Project Greenskin and Force Station Steelhead, and save the world from Takofanes and his undead army. Your victories over Shadow Destroyer and the Supreme Serpent have kept more than this plane of existence safe. You used time itself as a weapon to defeat Therakiel.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your heroic deeds and your continued support of Champions Online over this past year. In celebration, we are decking out Millennium City's Renaissance Center for a party!

The Anniversary Celebration will begin August 27 at 12:01 a.m. (07:01 GMT) and conclude with a bang on September 6 at 3:00 a.m. (10:00 GMT).

During the Anniversary Celebration, Renaissance Center will have a number of party-going contacts located around a giant cake. They will offer heroes a gift once a day for the duration of the event. Use the gift and receive a random party favor. In addition, the enemies in all major zones (Millennium City, Canadian Wilderness, Southwestern Desert, Lemuria, Monster Island and Vibora Bay) will have a chance to drop the anniversary gifts upon defeat.

You can hold on to an unopened gift indefinitely, and you may trade them. Once opened, the favors are bound to you and expire after 30 days. All costume unlocks are account wide and have no expiration.

Here are some of the favors that you can find during the event:

	Party Bomb - PBAoE emote trigger that makes affected targets dance.
	Party Cake - Heals 808 hit points.

	Party Soda - Refills 1097 energy.
	Water Balloon - Hits someone with a splash! Be careful: The target may catch the balloon and throw it back!

Costume Unlocks

We've also got some great Anniversary-themed costume unlocks. These of course are yours to keep forever.
