    Main benefit is never paying subscription fees again.

    You also get currently:

    1. Career Officer title in game
    2. Career Officer title in forum (blue name)
    3. Access to the 'Captain's Table.' a lounge for lifetimers.
    4. Special Combadge at the tailor.

    And thats it.

    I believe they're listed on the purchase page: Blue Name and Career Officer title on the forum, access to the Captain's Table, a lifetime combadge, and a Career Officer title in game; and you get to play forever for free.

    You get to pay a bunch of $$$ at once and get to forget about paying the monthly fee forever. After about roughly a year and several months, you get to play the game essentially for free. That's basically it really. Nothing else you'd get from the current Lifetime Subscription offer will have much effect (if at all) on the gameplay.

    And you can also choose to be a Liberated Borg Human when you make a new character.

    Liberated Borg are not part of the post-preorder LTS package.

    Nor were the 2 additional slots.

    I was a preorder LTS and I think it's unfair they are not still part of the deal.

    why? they where listed as pre order only.


    the lifetime deal is good enough anyway!

    Well its not unfair since they said repeatedly they would not be part of the deal after launch.

    But I personally have no objection to them being added back in. But I know others do. I'd prefer they were part of the current LT deal over ever being in the c-store.

    One reason: A lot of people seem to want them in the C-Store. Not still attached to the LTS and Cryptic will probably show they have a set smaller than marbles to cave in to the whiners who want it in the C-Store.

    Two: I feel getting it cheaper was enough for me. They have to pay 60 dollars more and get nothing.

    Third: Let's not forget about the first reason which needs to be repeated.

    1.They have smart marbles, they make more money off people whom want these special features.
    2. Same
    3. ????
    4. Cryptic profits

    If they want profits in the long run and not just a short term, then sure.

    Long term would be either put it in the LTS currently or make it a vet reward for having a sub. That way if people really want it that bad, they will help Cryptic profit long term.

    And Siz, the post I replied to said not having it in the LTS. I can't see that person then saying put it in the C-Store instead either.

    The preorder FAQ clearly stated the items might get put into the C-Store eventually - the statement was put in there so that those who prepurchased would not have a reason to complain about the exclusive items eventually getting sold in the C-Store. That being said, every company which has done something like this gives a very reasonable amount of time to the original purchasers to get good use out of the items before making them available to the masses. That's usually around a year not 3 months.

    Chances are the "Liberated Borg" is gone for good unless they do some 1yr anniversary special deal simply due to Cryptic probably not wanting to jeopardize LTS for future MMOs.

    the one thing i like about life time membership is i don't have to pay a monthly fee. i wish other games offer the same thing. this let me spend on other things like cryptic credits or points. to buy other TRIBBLE like a shining bridge i have gone in once.:eek:

    I bought the LTS almost solely for the perk of not having to pay a single extra cent on the game outside of the C-Store. I think that's a good enough reason. And I agree with the quote above. I think the Lib Borg and extra char slots should still be offered for all lifetime subs (and I purchased it during the initial offering).

    In other words, you just wanted to tell the world that you just bought a lifetime subscription.
