BTW that level 20 unique box? I opened it last night on my level 20 Ms Marvel and it gave me all level 60 uniques. There are similar reports on the marvel heroes forums. I was kind of looking forward to some uniques to level her with, but I'm not complaining.
Why did a trip to the online store change your mind? The game is free, pretty much everything aside from stash space can be gotten by playing the game. If you start a character now and get it to 30 before the 18th you'll even get a free stash tab. On your first play through the game you'll have enough free splinters to either purchase a 200 splinter character, or spend 175 to gamble for any character.
Sure you can spend money, but you certainly don't have to.
The thread title caught my interest, but one trip over to the online store quickly changed my mind.
on top of that, the community in game seems to be pretty solid right now. considering that it's a one year-old F2P game, without being overrun by asshats, MH has achieved some unique magic.
I have noticed everyone seems quite cordial in the chat. Pretty cool.

Costumes apparently still drop but very very rarely.
Well that kinda sucks.
When you consider the splinter drop rate caps out at about 1 spliter per 8 seconds or so if you manage to max out your SIF, it really becomes moot. Even if you go with a more modest 6-10 spliters per hour, if you play a couple hours a day you'll still average a hero a week with the random boxes.
