You feeling lucky, [steam] punk?
NCSoft's City of Heroes, the MMORPG that lets you play as a superhero or a villain, just celebrated its 7th anniversary, and they've been adding content the entire time. Today, the Steampunk Pack is out, for $9.99, which adds more than 60 new costume parts for all characters, a cool new Steam Jump travel power (for level 4 and higher characters), and more visual goodies.
You can choose two tint-able "auras," making the game look Victorian and...steampunky. And the Clunker Aura is a "path aura" that lets your characters leave a visible trail of oil and gears in their path as they walk around the massive game world.
If you're already playing City of Heroes, and you want to check out the new Steampunk Pack, leave a comment below! We have download codes for 10 of them, and 10 randomly selected winners can get their steampunk on. You need to already own City of Heroes or City of Villains -- the Complete Pack is only $29.99 here, plus the $14.99 monthly fee (after the first free month).
Deadline for commenting: 11:59pm Pacific Daylight Time tomorrow, June 2, 2011. Winners will be contacted by email. Contest over.
Now go forth and kick some butt, in luxurious steampunk style.
EDIT: Contest over! Congratulations to Jose Jimene, Teeki, steamer, steampunker, Herbert Jones, Lightslinger, Sinzuer, mutantpoo (heeee), teldon, and bullgates! I'll email you all your codes. Thanks for entering, everybody!

Seeing that the game has still not run out of steam after 7 years...I'd be more than happy to go steampunk.
Thanks for giveaway.

The steampunk concept is fun and the travel power is also a bonus.
Lets hope they keep creating more new booster sets soon.

Best booster pack ever. Now they need to add a retro sci-fi pack and a pulp pack and an alien pack.
A straight weapon pack would be nice also.
Thanks for the contests and a chance to win, most kind !

Wooo! I could make a steam powered Tanker with the backpack. Her name would be, Steamroller!

The steam punk set looks great, I cant wait to make a steam powered Sedgwick of a toon. The backpack is a nice touch and I wonder what the new faces look like?
Steam powered wings are a winner :)
One of my toons really needs the pack. She's been dying for a decent skirt for ages, it's so ungainly fighting Skulls in Kings Row and having your underdraws showing while firing your guns ;)

Got a cybernetic electric dominator that I want to apply steampunk technology to.

I think I'd make a villain . A shiny black Stalker just for use with the oil costume change. A type of biological living shadowish type of Stalker.
A Hero side steampunk Mastermind would be cool if you could change to robots into clockwork or Nemesis robot outfits.

I have a concept in mind already for my fire scrapper, that uses oil and steam to roast his victims. He wears a derby, leather, has a beard, and is named Flint Eastwood. haha

THis is a dream come true. Well the pack and winning the pack of course. If only they had a travel running power that took the shape of a steam powered bike.

All that stuff has super villain written all over them. I have so many ideas already I can barely contain them in my head. Fingers crossed !

The glorious Brassfire will slay all these plebian uses of the Steampunk Pack, gird your loins mere mortals!
With his Wrist Mounted flamethrowers Brassfire will teach the ne'er do wells some manners! A steam powered jetpack is the only way for a brass automaton to travel, what would you prefer Brassfire travel with, a subway token?!
Brassfire demands HE receive the glory of Victoria lest it fall into the hands of a furry who will only use it as pretty pants for their catmen. Think of the children!

I can see it now with that backpack. The Steampunk Milkman. Delivery justice and a carton of milk 6 days a week, because a gentleman should be able to decide whether or not he wants to work on Monday!

All right , all right nothing to see 'ere. Move along. Just giving me a code. Move along, there's a good gentleman.

I plan on using the undeniable charm and sophistication of the Victorian style costumes and quirky accessories to lure my wife back into the game. She was very impressed by the trailer and I sense her interest growing.
We met almost seven years ago in City of Heroes, being members of the same supergroup, and were married four years ago. She makes me very happy. I would love for her to put the tights and cape on again...
In the game I mean... Mostly... ;)

I was actually just thinking of making a steam punk character named "Macintosh" after the Scottish inventor who created the waterproof raincoat. Then this pops up. Meant to be!

I am a steampunk riot grrl in need of good gear, great threads, and new challenges in the lab. I love this renaissance age that the steam engine has brought to us. So much to do, so much chaos to harness in order to bring about change.

I've skipped a few of the boosters over the last two years because of money issues but this one is so spot on to my tastes that I'm trying my best to snag a code by hook or by crook.

I can't wait to get the Steampunk Pack. I've been very happy with all of the previous booster packs and City of in general, but this pack is especially exciting. I have several characters that will be getting makeovers the moment this goes live on my accounts... yes plural. :)
