Estimated Zen Value (per Character): 3,000 Zen.This should amount to about 13 Retrain Tokens.

~13 Retrain Tokens (previously called Respec Tokens) per character: A character with a Lifetime Account gets 5 Respec tokens automatically plus 1 Respec per rank (usually Levels 10, 20, etc.).PER CHARACTER, AS THEY LEVEL (you get value on these for EACH character that can take advantage of the listed item, but I don’t believe these items are retroactively applied to partially/fully leveled characters): In May of last year, Cryptic did away with the Subscription model for the game, leaving only the now-misnomered Lifetime Subscription option.Ī Lifetime Subscription (“LTS”) unlocks all the Veteran Reward items, which themselves were unlocked when a player reached 100-day milestones on their subscriptions up to Day 1,000.Īmong the worthwhile items (read: “These help with gameplay, and we can estimate a Zen value for them.”): The Free-to-Play model only came around in its 2nd year, but Cryptic kept the Gold (monthly subscriber) and Lifetime (one large payment and done) subscription levels. Similar to MMOs like World of Warcraft, STO was a subscription-based game after you’d paid for the game itself. In the long ago, Star Trek Online wasn’t a Free-to-Play game. Let’s cut to the chase: This isn’t really a subscription. That’s not double-speak! It’s an amazing deal!…if you have the cash for it (or Zen if you’re on console, but I’ll get to that in a bit). I’ll go ahead and say I don’t recommend a new player get a Lifetime “Subscription.” With a Lifetime Subscription being on sale until November 21st (don’t worry if you miss it, they’ll rerun it), I wanted to dive deeper into the “New Player” series to talk about the Lifetime Subscriber (“LTS”) benefits & value and why you shouldn’t (yet) get it. Hello, all, and welcome back to Joe and STO.
