    Just happy, that's all there is to say, I bought myself a starter pack. Also, I do play in the closed BETA and enjoying myself very much. Everything looks great, I have no bugs to reported yet.:D ...even no mistakes in spelling spotted so far. Keep the great work.

    I think it depends on how much you already have on your account. I have so much that new things I add are below the fixed line limit, thus none of them ever show up now.

But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    I ordered the starter pack. In the "Charge Zen" dropdown menu, above the forums and the website in general, there is a "My Wallet" link. Zen purchases and free Zen appear here, as well as the pack purchase I made. It has a confirmation number and everything.

    Edit: I don't know if that actually answers your question, but it does show up as purchased for me. So even if it's not "active" or whatever when LoR goes live, I can just point there and say "Oh yeah?"

    The Legacy and Starter Packs are simply C-Store bundles with a 30% discount for pre-ordering them. They have nothing to do with your Subscription status. Just as a Fed or KDF player must buy C-Store items, so must a Rom player.

    Oh ok do you know the total C-Store price of all of this?

    The Legacy Pack gives you $181.00 worth of C-Store items for $125.00. The Starter Pack gives you $31.00 worth of items for $20.00.

    Just as a Fed or KDF, you'll get a free T1 through T5 ship as a Rom. The C-Store ships are just slightly better.

    Edit to add that you can buy all of the ships in the C-Store individually once LoR goes live. You don't need to buy them now if you don't want to. Buying them now just gives you the discount.

    So basically if I bought a Lifetime subscription at the start of the game I still have to pay either $19.99 or $124.99 to get the Legacy of the Romulans expansion?

    The LoR Expansion has nothing to do with the C-Store bundle sale. The Legacy Pack and Standard Pack are C-Store items bundled together for a discount. It has nothing to do with playing the expansion any more then buying a T3 Excelsior has anything to do with playing the free Federation content.

    Thanks cosmic.. I've been gone for a few months and was wondering :)

    I'm so excited about the legacy bundle. I'm an avid C-store ship/ship collector after all, I mean all the titles and master keys are nice, but at the end of the day, its the ships, races and costumes for me. Like right now, I'm working on earning more ships for my future FED/Rommie Captain.
    I don't take sides, I work angles. More choices that way.

    As I don't use Keys, ever, I'm guessing the Starter Pack will work best for me. I'll just buy the other ships and items as I need them.

    Im with you here...I used to use keys, but as they basically became a huge waste of money for me (risk vs reward does not equal $$$$ spent), so I don't use them...I have like 15 keys in my bank, and may save them for any "new" boxes that drop after the LoR comes out...but plan on the Starter Pack and whatever ship I may want to buy afterwards. I cant justify spending $125 on a game expansion, not in this economy.

    As much as I enjoy this game, the real world takes most of my time. I plan on playing the Romulans most definitely, it was the one playable race I really wanted to play when the game came out...but even as a Lifetimer, I cannot justify spending another $125 right off the bat...especially since some of the ships are not ones I would ever play.
    "We know that the sheep live in denial; that is what makes them sheep. They do not want to believe that there is evil in the world...The sheep generally do not like the sheepdog...He has fangs and the capacity for violence. The difference, though, is that the sheepdog must not, cannot and will not ever harm the sheep...Still, the sheepdog disturbs the sheep...Until the wolf shows up. Then the entire flock tries desperately to hide behind one lonely sheepdog.

    Will the Liberated Borg Reman's appearance be customisable?

    I would imagine at least as much as any of the rest of the Lib Borg Boffs.

    I think Cryptic owes thecosmic1 a free ship or something for answering so many people's questions, often the same question over and over again.

    The fact that he hasn't snapped yet over people's inability to read is amazing. Good show.

    It has been an exercise in patience. :) It's given me a new-found respect for BranFlakes and what he deals with daily.

    It currently does not show up on the My Account page along with my Pre-order, Wrath of Khan Uniform, etc etc.

    I did get a confirmation e-mail though.

    Any word on whether this shows as an activated feature if we buy it now or will it show once we LoR goes live?

    Thanks.

    We were not able to get it to display in there, but you can confirm your purchase if you're logged in and visit the Legacy Pack page -- the "buy now" buttons will be grayed out and there will be a message towards the top-right.

    Cheers,

    I honestly don't get it. Why have you done this? And how have you found the time?

    As I stated in an earlier post in this thread, it also shows up in the "My Wallet" link of the "Charge Zen" drop down tab.

    The little message should probably say "the Legacy Pack" - I know it's probably technically grammatically correct without the "the", but it sounds weird.

    It also describes the stuff in the pack as "content", which is rather telling - I imagine most people would describe "items" NOT as "content".



    By the way, if we buy the starter pack, and later decide to go full on legacy, will the price of the starter pack be deducted from the legacy price?

    Oh right! Thanks, it will show up on the billing transaction history at billing.perfectworld.com.

    No, it won't, but you can ticket into Billing for assistance on this -- they may be able to help.

    I was just one of many people, like yourself, trying to get the correct info out there. It doesn't take much misconception to turn a group into a mob. :)

    As for the time it took, there's benefits to being retired - though some might say too much spare time is a curse. :)

    No problem. I think it helped boost my post count past 2,000. :)
