How often does PWE/Cryptic hold sales on the Lifetime Memberships? I see they did one in October. Is there any hopes of another one coming up soon?

    From the horse's mouth:

    [10:47] [REDALERT] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: Lifetime accounts will be on sale a couple times a year - don't have dates on me

    How much do they usually go on sale for? I was wanting to pick one up, but I'm definitely waiting for another sale. $300 is too steep for me.

    Nice, thanks. I hope they don't wait until June this time. A spring-break sale would be awesome. :cool:

    They would probably make more money if they had the LTS as a lock box reward.

    For those already with LTS then the top reward is the usual new starship.

    Really? A lifetime subscription in a lockbox? Something that's directly sold on the website for $300 potentially obtained from a single $1.25 lockbox?

    The sheer volume of hate the devs would get over that decision might be enough for them to say "to hell with it" and nuke the forums (again) and possibly disable in-game chat for a time.

    The sales usually come around before they introduce a new season, or sometimes around December or in the summer time. I'm thinking that since season 8 is coming soon they should have a lifetime sale before then. I got my lifetime during a sale, and I'm happy with my purchase!!

    I'm curious. With Season 8 coming soon, it's mentioned that they will be adding to the Lifetime subscription...

    Do current lifetime subscription members typically get the new additions?

    #1 If a thread hasn't been posted in for more than 30 days you need to start a new thread.

    #2 You are off topic. The thread was discussing how often lifetime memberships go on sale.

    #3 To answer your question I would say it's a definite yes. It wouldn't be fair for them to come out with new lifetime member benefits that are only given to new lifetime members. Old members would raise Gre'thor for that. (I'm not a lifetime member myself, so this is my best guess)
