I tend to buy the Lifetime subs. So far the ones i bought it on are still up, and the one i skipped (Hellgate:London) is dead. Lifetime subs are worth it because of one fact, Theyre the cheapest alternative, eventually your paying to play pr month than you would have if u bought that lifetime. $100 isnt alot if u think about it. taking champions $15pr month that would be roughly 7months worth. so after 7 months you would be paying more than you would have. Although Never under ANY circemstances buy any lifetime subs at beta or closed beta. Thats just flushing cash down your toilet. If any game company does that, theyre going down and they know it so theyre just trying to earn alittle more cash before they crash. If champions is still alive later this year i can promise you theyre gonna throw that one out again.

LOL Yeah, they did sound a little strange but it’s completely legit. In fact, Cryptic had to extend the offer cause everyone complained when they closed it

In the words of the great Admiral Ackbar…

ITS A TRAP!!!

They sounded pretty scammy in my opinion.

The offer’s expired now and I didn’t go for it. Apart from the fact that I’m still on holiday and not using the Internet much (I’m barely in the hotel) I decided that it wasn’t really worth it for me. I mean, I think it’s telling that I own the game but have barely played it. The price point was very tempting but ultimately I realised Champions Online and Aion come out about 2 weeks after I get back from my holiday so I’m not sure exactly when I’d even get a chance to play LOTRO.

That’s pretty tempting offer but if you were to ask me, then I’ll suggest try them both especially if you’re into gaming. It gives you an option to play different games for a much cheaper price. Just came to my mind, for sure you’ll quickly grab it if it’s a wow lifetime subscriptions offer or might consider as well if it’s the upcoming Aion game which seems a promising game.

LOTRO Lifetime accounts sell for 200 EUR+ on eBay at the moment.

Which also tells me people probably don’t intend to play LOTRO anymore in their remaining lifetime, but…

Buy for 120, sell for 200… sounds good to me.

Yeah, they’ve obviously picked that price point because it falls into the ‘tempting’ category. I dismissed the original proce (£150/$250 I think) because it was just too much but half of that is quite appealing.

Yeah, I like the idea of being able to play LotRO at any time I want and not worry about cost. Plus it’s a very established game so I’m sure it will be around for a long time to come and keep improving as they bring out expansions. I also feel like I should be playing it because I already own the game.

The discounted 6 month sub for CO is quite a good deal and gets you into the ST:O closed beta. I’ll probably go for it. Regardless of my curious for Star Trek, it’s a good price point.

You guys put forward a very convincing argument I’m totally confused now! And I’ve only got a few more days to decide…
