I played LoL months ago and began saving IP. I intended (and still do) to buy runes upon hitting level 20, using just free heroes until that point. Recently I started playing again with a friend who was surprised to see that I have Corki "purchased" on my account, who is in the most expensive tier- actually costing more than I've earned total to this point. He's also quite easy to dominate games with, though he seems to have been nerfed substantially from when I used to play.
Was there once a way to unlock him, or was he just at one point substantially cheaper and I splurged without remembering so?

It seems from the NA forums that everyone who had an account created on january 2010 received Corki with its U.F.O. skin for free.
Those who already had it received an IP boost.
