Champions on-line perks

[Tilarium]

So I remember seeing if I had gotten a Champion's On-line lifetime account that I would have gotten some benes in this game. I wasn't sure if I wanted to get that game but decided to heck with it and today I bought the game. After that I learn that the lifetime membership was just a pre-order perk. Is there any other way to get those benes for ST:On-line? I don't want Champions, I bought it only to do the life-time and get the benes. Needless to say, I'm alittle annoyed right now. The page I seen that told about getting the benes with the life-time sub for Champtions said nothing about the life-time (and those benes) was a limited offer.

I do believe it was mentioned on the lifetime/6-mo page that it was only availble until September 1st (the limited supplies thing was a whole different beast). That said, while it remains to be seen whether or not the mirror universe outfit will be availble other ways, it seems unlikely.

There was a big misunderstanding centered around the length of time that the Champions Online lifetime membership was going to be offered. I believe that Cryptic did the right thing and reopened the lifetime option, but that was only again supposed to be to players before the game was officially released. To the best of my knowledge, the only perk that you get in STO for going down that path in Champions was a guaranteed invite into the closed beta of Star Trek Online. Does anybody know any other benes?

Lifetime also gave you access to the mirror universe outfit.

Ooo...Mirror Universe outfit. I missed the mention of that one! That's pretty cool. I know two people that bought the lifetime, but not for the Star Trek reasons...maybe I can talk them out of their "code"... :D

[Tilarium]

You said two... talk to the other for me! LOL Seriously though, I got the game just for the outfits and the guranteed beta. Sure, I'm confident I'll be in the beta, even if it's in the last week or two but that's not the point. I want my outfits! LOL I love the mirror universe...... ....... ......


Beta tested:
Project Entropia/Entropia Universe/Planet Calypso
Star Wars Galaxies + Jump to Lightspeed expansion
Ashron's Call
Ashron's Call 2
Everquest
Everquest 2
World of Warcraft
Auto Assault
City of Heros/Villians
Pirates of the Burning Seas
Matrix On-line
Vanguard
Warhammer On-line
Age of Conan
Fallen Earth

---- Only ones I can remember right now, I was in closed beta on all of them except City of Heros and Vanguard. I was sorta bumped the beta application didn't ask previous beta experience :D

If your friends are playing now, I think the code is already linked to their accounts. On my account screen It says I'm registered for the STO Beta. I figure that means that the Trek stuff will be automatically unlocked when the game releases (just like the stuff from my CO preorder).
One of the reasons I bought the lifetime sub was for the Trek stuff. I make a crew / ship from the Terran Empire.:D

The page very clearly used the terms 'Expires September 1st' 'Pre order' 'Limited time' etc etc.

The likelihood is very, very strong that there will be some means of getting either the same Mirror Universe outfit in some other way or a closely related one. I don't remember them ever promising an 'exclusive' mirror universe outfit as part of the perk.

There will be some exclusive outfits in the game, mostly tied to which store you preorder the game through I would imagine, but I should think this one isn't it.

(That said, I'm one of those lifetimers, so I can be magnanimous, what since I know I've got the outfit. ;) )

Actually I think it was said that Mirror Universe outfit would be exclusive (can't confirm it, they took down the announcement on the CO site). I wouldn't mind there being a way of unlocking another version of the uniform, maybe as a souvenir after a MU episode, but not that particular one seeing as it was being given out as a perk.

EDIT: Just found this (http://www.champions-online.com/node/172998) and it does say unique.
