About STO-EU Credits
Star Trek Online is a MMORPG, based off the TV series by the same name, developed by Cryptic Studios. The game sets it off from the rest of the MMORPGs by featuring a duo gameplay system that allow players to battle it out with starships in deep space or get beamed down onto unknown planets to engage in ground combat. Set during a time of war, battle is inevitable for both the Federation and the Klingon factions.
In the midst of war, the strength of the Federation's armed forces are notably driven by the economic system that exists in the world of Star Trek Online. Two types of currency that are used, include the starfleet merit and the energy credits. Without these currencies, bridge officers are unable to get promoted, captains are unable to purchase new ships and players can forget about purchasing items. Starfleet merit are essentially used to promote bride officers and purchase new ships, while energy credits are for purchasing items from various vendors. The methods for obtaining the two currencies are different as well. Merits are collected from completing missions, taking part in PvP and exploration. Credits, on the other hand, are collected by recycling items with the replicators. In some cases the use of both currencies at the same time for purchases or upgrades are required, which could mean double the effort in farming the currencies. Most of the time players have time to spare for farming, but there are many cases where merits and credits are too much trouble to spent hours of gameplay clicking away. This is where currency shops and services that use real money trading comes in. A surprisingly large of number of these MMORPG currency shops exist to offer merits and credits at competitive prices. MMOBUX provides price comparison and currency shop ratings for visitors to check the prices offered by individual shops.
