Lifetime Subscription

[Abriael]

I think you might have confused what Airget was trying to say.

Just to clarify for people who don't know, STO offered a lifetime sub and is now F2P. Every game that has offered it has done the same. LotRO, STO, Champions Online, DCUO... The list goes on and on.

None of those games went free to play. They all went hybrid. And on hybrid games subscriptions still hold a value.

The most recent game to do this was The Secret World. Lifetime sub option was for like 200 bucks, and then within a couple months of release went f2p. Lifetime subs are scams. If an MMO company offers one, watch out, they are trying to give it to you up the tailpipe.

You may want to do some fact checking before going around spreading gross generalizations. The Secret World went hybrid (which is not the same as free to play) seven months after its release.
