For most current gen MMORPGs you usually have to pay monthly or with a prepaid game card, a la World of Warcraft. However, Cryptic is doing things a bit differently with their latest offering, Star Trek Online.

Sure, you can pay $14.99 a month, $41.97 for 3-months or $77.94 for 6-months but if you want to go all the way up to 1 year, you’ll only be paying $119.99. And if you plan on playing even longer than that, you can buy a lifetime subscription for $239.99. If you go this route, you will be given a playable version of Borg along with 2 additional character slots. Of course, if you buy the 1-year subscription you will also be given the 2 additional character slots, but no Borg.

So what do you think potential Star Trek Online players? Which subscription suits you?
