Hey Cryptic, instead of refunding these lifetime subs, can I buy one of them?

Hey, seeing as Cryptic is refunding lifetime subs, can I buy one off the departing, and get it at their early bird purchase price with the extras? If so, then I will. :D I am sure others would take you up on such an offer.

Just a thought.

    don't worry they will be opening up the lifer thing very soon i suspect. Any way they can sucker more people for fast money the better before they close the server down.

    You can already sign up for a Lifetime subscription. It's $299.

    Wow, your trolling motor must be in overdrive...


    Yes, I know, I trolled, I should be spanked. :p

    I know, but I want the earlier rate, and the bonus gifts. :D

    My theory is if Cryptic is refunding these early-rate-bonus-gift ones, then why not just let me buy them off the people wanting the refund? Cryptic gets its money, the other person gets their refund, I get the sub. :cool:

    Soo... if you get a life sub now, all you get is the sub? No borg? Bah, TRIBBLE it.

    What they should do is offer the lifer thing constantly, but with a different lifer bonus every six months, and a guarantee that the bonus WILL NOT be available in the C-store for at least two years after, to get your money's worth figuratively. Treat it like the Disney Vault.

    Year 1: Liberated borg, then Romulan.
    Year 2: Exiled Q, then Jem'Hadar refugee.
    Year 3: Cardassian expatriot, and so on.

    Yeah, I'd possibly consider buying one if you still got the bells and whistles in a couple of weeks, but if not, ah wsell, monthly for me.

    Truth to tell, I'm more comfortable with that anyways. I have a tendancy to have my interest in a game flag after so many months, at which point I take a break. It'd seem a bit too much like a waste of money if I wasn't playing every month.

    There's always some microcephalic that feels the need to be particularly jerky at a given moment..
    The only ones being suckered are the ones that fallen in lockstep with the doomsayers and failboys.

    That's actually a really clever idea. Promise the lifer-bonuses are never offered at the C-Store, but that they will change every 6 months.

    MMO fees are some of the best return for the dollar for entertainment out there.

    Hell, a movie ticket here is $15 now.

    $245 for the life of the game, a steal.
