I just recently purchased STO on the box it says "Subscription Required-30 Days Game Time Included with Purchase. I open it up and no card is there. So I decide to try and use the prepaid credit card I got for netflix...still no dice...so...how do i play?
the 30 day time is applied when you set up a subscription,(required)
to play the full game you need to
1. buy the game (which you did)
2. enter the retail key
3. select a renewing subscriptiopn (required)
4. enter how you plan to pay for the subscription once it starts
5. wait for cryptic to validate the payment type. (they do it in batchs so time varies)
then your account will be active withthe 30 days subscription bonus.
if you used a credit card or paypal then you wil not be charged for the subscription until after the 30 day bonus.
if you use a gametime card then the 30 days will be added to the time of the gamecard ie 30 day gamecard + 30 day bonus = 60 dayes before you have to enter antoher game card to play.
if you skip any of these steps then the game will not be active
