That scares me
Meanwhile in the US, Digital Deluxe Edition announced now as well, $69.
The Star Trek Online Digital Deluxe Edition offers such bonuses as five exclusive in-game items as well as the ability to play as a “Joined Trill” – a symbiote that grants you several lifetimes of experience. The five exclusive in-game items include:
* Original Star Trek Uniform Set: Three uniforms from the original series (blue, red, yellow).
* Exclusive “KHAAAN!” Emote: An unforgettable moment from the second Star Trek Film. This exclusive emote allows players to relive Kirk’s unforgettable moment of fury, with the timeless cry… “KHAAAN!”
* Exclusive Klingon Blood Wine Toast Emote: Raise a glass like a Klingon! Greet other players with an exclusive Klingon gesture –the blood wine toast.
* Unique Registry Prefix: Give your ship the coveted NX prefix, seen only on a handful of elite Starfleet vessels like the Defiant, 22nd century Enterprise, and Prometheus.
* Unique Ship Item: Automated Defense Battery. This Tactical Module grants any ship a passive 360 arc attack power with a short range.
So, anyone else get a feeling they just want to get as much cash in from box sales (theres a huge range of box offers/store limited offers) by playing on trek nerds and their wallets, regardless of anything else, then they can sit back and wait for the shit to hit the fan, laughing all the way to the bank?
(I get worried when a games money folks have an urge to do all this stuff for an MMO release, rather than using it as stuff they can addin over time - and while I dont want to praise Blizzard too much (or hell even CCP), wows release way back didnt have this in this sort of levels, and well EVE never really has done, except for the recent box relaunch...)
