    There's no reason in the world to spend more than the $15 on the EMH boff (is it the Photonic Science Boff) if you didn't have it already.

    I must be missing something, because I'm not seeing an EMH Boff in the list of goodies.

    This is what I'm seeing:

    Donations of $1 to $25 = New STO Delta Rising Wallpapers

    Donations of $50 = 500 ZEN + (lower tier donation item)

    Donations of $100 = Section 31 Uniform + (all lower tier donation items)

    Donations of $500 = Exclussive American Apparel Arc Hoodies (only given out to employees) one Logitech Gaming Accessory + (all lower tier donation items)

    Donations of $1337 = Legacy of Romulus: Legacy Pack, Delta Rising: Operations Pack, TOS Bundle Pack, Exclussive American Apparel Arc Hoodies (only given out to employees) one Logitech Gaming Accessory + (all lower tier donation items)

    Where is the EMH Boff coming from?

    That might have been true of the "2012 marathon". Link info on the STO 2016 event to be sure it still applies.

    Their own search failed me, but Google found the Charity Navigator page for Children's Miracle Network, the charity that runs Extra Life:

    https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=5756

    I found this page too! But from what I understand, we give the money to ExtraLife, and then they give some? all? to CMN. The poitn I'm trying to find is how much, and I can't find it anywhere, which is disturbing. Lack of transparency with a charity is very suspicious.

    I think ExtraLife *IS* CMN. Look at the copyright at the bottom of the ExtraLife page, it's CMN.

    try actually looking at the right one...the one you were looking at was from two YEARS ago!​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"


    "It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
    "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
    Passion and Serenity are one.
    I gain power by understanding both.
    In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
    I am a shadow, darkness born from light.

    Huh, how did THAT happen? Missed that entirely.

    Where can I find this promotion? I haven't seen it anywhere.

    Extra Life story at the top of the NEWS page.

    Aw thanks. Usually don't check the news page since the Forum news is typically up to date on this stuff.

    Actually tempted by this promotion. 100 for the Flagships, and all of the previous tiered rewards is actually pretty reasonable. Not sure if I can take advantage of this because I'm a student, but maybe I can make this work.

    The Forsaken World and PWI have an interesting feature for the promo... actually going so far as to rename something in the game in your honor... it's kinda a top tier prize though.

    yeah, and lookit how much it costs...what sane person is going to pay THAT MUCH just to have something digital named after them?

    if i'm going to be paying that much, i expect something that might actually stand a chance of lasting to the next century​​

    Yeah I know. :p No way I'd do that just for the "prize". Especially since I don't have that much loose change.
