A few days ago we were hit with the news that the supply had almost run out… then was out. It seemed to be pretty shocking to quite a number of people (the announcement forum on CO’s site has hundreds of pages to testify that). I had been waiting till this coming pay day to grab my sub, and I was a bit unhappy with the news.

Luckily, Cryptic has brought them back till the end of August — with no limit of supply. Now I just have to order one… I’m thinking the lifetime deal.

Why? It’s a pretty darn good deal! After a year and a month the savings will kick in, but should CO last as long as CoH has… 5-6 years now? That’s a lot of money saved from subscription fees. Add in the extras… well, I’m an alt-a-holic so 8 extra character slots was about as tempting as the lifetime subscription. It’s just a good deal, should you enjoy the game.

I’m also hoping this initial influx of capital will help further the games lifespan and get even more fixes and content rolling out. The giant robots were fun to bash, but I need more giant things to fight!
