Part of the reason for limited number of sub - specials was to limit the number of people that would be garaunteed beta access to STO.

Why is everyone on the MMORPG forums so negative lately. It seems like everyone hates everything.  OMG this game SUCKS anyone who plays it is a complete loser......blah blah blah.

I remember joining these forums a few years back and really enjoying coming here for info on my prefered style of gaming....MMO's. Over the past few months maybe a year it seems like everyone here either has an agenda because THEY are playing the best game and all others suck , or because only THEY know what the best games are going to be and the rest of us are clueless.

Can these people really be that angry at the world?  Did someone cut off their meds?

Why can't we come here and discuss intelligently the pros and cons of different games. Let's get these forums back to what they were intended to do. Help shape a community and hopefully have a small impact on what gaming companies think and consider when designing their next game.

Flame away.

 

 Lol, maybe you should have played some of these very pathetic stupid games that are full of deceptive lies, illegal marketing and only fool you for about 3 days before you realize what trash it is.. unfortunately, thats long enough for them to get away with all the cash

Hmm, I think the limited number of Lifetime accounts is for there own financial protection.

Say they sell 1000 lifetime subs, and 3 or 4 months in the game tanks.

1000 people are still playing but no new subs and all monthlies bailed for the newest shiny new game.

Now what does Cryptic do? They sold 1000 people lifetime subs but can't support the game any more only 4 months in.

Just a hypothetical scenario, food for thought.

If that would happen they could always just put some cool stuff in the cash shop.

Such things are never unlimited, as odd as it seems that subs are "sold out". I don't assume many people will play the game that long to pay that off tbh, tho.

Look up "sarcasm."

I really thought that post was positively dripping with it. Maybe you should think before you speak.

Congrats to Cryptic to proving all the naysayers wrong.  They said hardly anyone would buy the lifetime, but they reached their goal.  I'm looking forward to donning my tights again after CoX failed me on the AE.

What? Congrats to pissing of their customers and show everyone they are a shady company? Why congratulate them?

Not at all hypothetical, this is exactly what happened with Bill Roper's last game (Hellgate: London). They brought down the servers anyway. "LIfetime" refers to the life of the game, not of the player.

Some people were svaing up for the game, others wanted to try the game out before commiting to a lifetime sub (wanted to see if the game wold last for more then a year). Others got shut out due to CC processing on-line.

Many wanted to be sure that it wasn't going to be HELLGATE 2.

P.S.>> Many people do wait to the last minute before making a purchase. AKA -- Christmas Eve shoppers.

The major complaint has been that there was no notification of LIMITED QUANITIES only LIMITED TIME.

Note: One note in the forum from a MOD that got buried mentioned while supplies last.

 I tried the beta the character customization was awsome but the game itself is not up my alley. I didn't find anything wrong with it it's just not for me. Good luck to those who continue to play, it gave me fun for a few days.

If you've read his other posts, it's not sarcasm. Maybe you should actually read before you say stupid sh*t like that.

Do you get into the Star Trek Online beta with a life-time sub?  If so, that might account for at least some of the numbers.

Yes, as did the limited 6-mo offer as well. I figure they just ran out of room for their future beta. Im sure they will reoffer the lifetime, just without some of the earlier perks. I bet you though, that most of the people complaining had no intention of even purchasing the lifetime. They just need a new platform to complain from for attention.

Cheers!

The life time and 6 month hav ebeen reinstated until the 31st of August due to great demand (and crying) so ..those who claim thats what they want and they didn't wanna play without it..need to now put up or shut up.   Though I fully expect there to be many paranoid conspiracy theorist cry fowl too by morning.  Those people can simply suck it.

You mean the people saying that it's because Atari is making sure their advertisements are exactly as they said because they're currently being sued over advertising and contractual agreements?

Hardly a fail or a waste if you play the game for over a year..you end up saving money unlike others who pay the sub.

Yeah this is true, it will work out (hopefully) for many people. No one wants to see people get screwed over. At least no decent person does. Hopefully the game will have enough content to keep you there of your own will and not that you paid X amount of dollars though.
