Win a Lifetime Subscription to Star Trek Online!

To celebrate the launch of our new community for Star Trek® Online, Cryptic Studios will give five (5!!) lucky winners lifetime subscriptions to STO!

To enter, all you have to do is register as a member of the Star Trek Online community by 11:59 p.m. PDT on August 17, 2008, and click the sweepstakes link. The winners will be chosen at random on or about August 25, 2008, and will be notified by e-mail and/or overnight mail on or about August 28.

Five Winners Will Receive:

    * Retail copy of Star Trek Online
    * Lifetime subscription to Star Trek Online

Total estimated retail value: $550.00 (US)

Unfortunately, it does appear that the sweepstakes are only open US & Canadian Residents, however in more positive news, it does appear that we have got a little hint about a possible launch date for Star Trek Online - From the terms and conditions of the competition:

Quote
Estimated retail value of the Grand Prize is $550 per Grand Prize; $2750 total.  The retail box prize will be awarded when commercially available, which is estimated to be at least one year after the close of the contest.

Yeah, I'm getting a bit sick of it as well. I think it's just epic BS that they can't get it done with the lawyers. If I can buy something from overseas, I must be able to win something as well...

Just so you know:  If you go to the sign-up page, you can select "Notify me if there's a similar promotion in" and then choose your country from a drop-down list; hopefully they'll follow up on it.

Anyhow, I really don't think that the announcement that STO probably won't be out until after August of 2009...  ...although the total estimated retail value may offer some hint as to how long it will last   :wink:

This is GREAT new.

not only does it prove there is going to be the standard monthly fee (and none of that pay as you buy things 'censored'), it also shows how much the rest of us contest losers will be able to play to fall into the "lifetime subscription" category. $500. thats really not that bad. awesome!!

 Yes, and I followed your lead Admiral and went over and entered.
 It should be noted that some countries have strict rules governing contests like this one, and I am sure that Cryptic will have links up soon for the rest of the world as soon as they work out the legaleze required to offer this give-away for ST:O.
