I am in open beta for Star Trek Online (STO), and I have purchased a lifetime subscription. The game is still in its infancy, but I wanted the preorder goodies and intend to stick around for the long haul. All new MMOs seem to have no shortage of people ready to bash them. The game play is geared towards action, which is part of why some trek fans are disappointed. I would advise giving any new MMO six months or so to find its legs. I have been a long time player of City of Heroes/Villians (CoX), and I have faith in Cryptic's ability to make the most of this IP.
