Thread: Star Trek Online is now free-to-play

Yep, like a lot of other MMOs, Star Trek went free on the 17th. If you didn't already play, does knowing it's now free make you want to try it out? Or do you take it as a sign that it wasn't good enough to be paid for in the first place?

Watched couple of gameplay videos and to be honest to me at least the game seem really slow, although if it's free to play and there aren't any restrictions I don't see a reason not to test it

Its disappointing that so many of the races aren't playable. There isn't going to be any realm vs realm (only co-op as far as I can tell) combat in this so its less interesting to me now.

Took them long enough. But should be a pretty decent F2P for scifi fans.

oh god how i don't like this games.

uh uh sorry !! but looks like is a slow pace type of game.

I played a Star Trek game years ago and it was uber slow and pedantic, beyond belief. There was no story line. Wanted to try this one out, hopefully the story line will be better. I'm sure the graphics will be better by comparison.

I heard that new SW games are good. I mean, better than older ones.

I agree it's too slow paced. It's only for the fan masses, the other gamers won't be amused.

There is an entire Star Trek subculture, some people even call them trekkies who are fan boys of the Star Trek universe. And, pretty much anything (game, movie, TV series) that comes out from that franchise is going to be eaten up by Star Trek fans.
