Star Trek Online Borg with Lifetime Subscription

[Jan 15, 2010, 12:59 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Star Trek Online Website now offers subscription options for Cryptic's upcoming Trekkie MMORPG, which include an option for lifetime subscriptions. This page has word on special offers available only for pre-order customers: Annual subscriptions for $119.99 USD/year which will earn you two additional character slots or a lifetime subscription for $239.99 that also include two extra slots as well as a playable Borg. There is an accompanying FAQ with further details, including an outline of the Borg's special abilities, but nowhere does it say whether the Borg is exclusive to these lifetime subscriptions. After the game's launch they offer three different plans, in US dollars they are $14.99 monthly, $41.97 quarterly, or $77.94 semi-annually. Update: This story originally listed annual subscriptions as $199.99. Apologies for the error.

I'm one of those suckers who bought the lifetime subscription. To me, I feel lifetime subscriptions are worth the money if you can see yourself playing it 3 years from now. I don't mean continuously, but it removes the feeling of need to play because you're paying a recurring subscription. I do agree however, that the price is rather high. I really enjoy the game, the ship combat is excellent (and very thrilling), and the ground game is basically Champions/City of Heroes .. so its solid in its own right. I really like what they've done with the game, some bugfixing and you've got a real gem here. I'm not going to say its a "wow-killer" in terms of numbers of sales or whichever, but I do believe this will be a successful MMO in the way that it won't die in 3 months. This will be Cryptic's gem, imo. /long time blues reader/lurker
