"Anniversary Celebration" is the first anniversary event. It runs from August 27, 2010 through September 6, 2010.
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.
Cryptic thanks you from the bottom of their hearts for all your heroic deeds and your continued support of Champions Online over this past year. In celebration, they are decking out Millennium City's Renaissance Center for a party!
The Anniversary Celebration will begin August 27 and conclude with a bang on September 6.
Party Favors[]
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 (in stacks of 10), 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.

- FOOLISH HEROES!
- Far too long, have I allowed this celebration to persist.
- Your revelry seems misplaced and misguided if it is the Champions you commemorate.
- A greater memory would be my return and the defeat of your Champions!
- Your revelry seems misplaced and misguided if it is the Champions you commemorate.
- Observance of this Anniversary will from this day be a remembrance of the day I, Dr. Destroyer, let loose his army upon your shining city.
- Watch as your beloved Renaissance Center is leveled, your City Center Capitol Building raised to the ground and your Downtown Gardens burned!
