Star Trek fans attending this weekend's convention in San Francisco, California will be the lucky recipients of a special code from Perfect World Entertainment. The code will give new Star Trek Online players a spiffy in-game item and title.

You can obtain a code for this special item through a couple different methods (limit one code per player):

Twitter – Tweet a picture of yourself at the convention to our official Twitter account, @TrekOnlineGame. Make sure you are also following us so we can DM you a code and instructions on how to claim the above rewards.

The STO Forums – Send a forum PM to STO Community Manager Brandon Felczer through this link. Under “Recipient Username(s)”, enter: pwebranflakes | Under “Title”, enter: Star Trek San Francisco | In the “Message” field, include a link to a picture of yourself at the convention. Brandon will respond with a code and instructions on how to claim the above rewards.

Nice doff.

Not going.

/oh well

I always find these Vitural item giveaway for RL "meet&greet" a bit.. odd, sure its a lovely thing for those who life around there and can go but thats cant be more then 0.1% of the entire playing community. so you kind of say , hey look at this great item we got for these 100 persons..and the rest of you..the 100.000 other players who lifeon the other side of the world, who dont have money, or whatever reason ...you can go F**** yourself and QQ 

always fun to see how PR screws themselfs :P

All go to Vulcan for the in-game convention and drop the screenshot on twitter :D

Okay, seriously... Wish I could go to a Star Trek convention. None in my country, and it's too much fuzz to take a week(end) off to attend to one in an other country. I would SERIOUSLY want to have been to a Star Trek (or any other convention for that matter) for just once in my life!

I don't use Steam, but I guess it's not a bad deal, especially if you're on a f2p acc (since then you don't get a free ship when reaching lvl50 like subscribers do). So if you strip anything else from the deal, the Retrofit by it's own worths the 10 bucks, it's a decent Tac ship, and ships on the Store are like 15-20$ (if I remember correctly, I don't know the actual prices)

Edit: sorry, a bit ontopic: Holo Leeta is a nice DOff, I think they gave those codes at a previous con too.

Just as Reizla, I also don't see much chance in the future to get myself to a Trek con... but I bet it's awesome :)

...might be the reason why I'm liking it now :D
