Players with a lapsed subscription to Cryptic’s Star Trek Online can come back an play the game at no cost today as part of the free-to-play early start program. Everyone else can play for free come January 17.
I wa fully planning to do this until I played my first beta of SWTOR, the ony thing that could possibly tempt me to try STO again is the space combat but then I still have Starfleet Command III somewhere which did space combat better…
I got the email and decided to give Captain Aerin and the crew of the Bebop another go at the cosmos…
Free is a great price, and I might as well play this every once in awhile before I eventually ruin it for myself by playing the Old Republic at some point in the future (after I finally upgrade my compy)
To Boldly Go Where I Went Before Over A Year Ago But Decided It Wasn’t Worth The Investment…
I gave the F2P on this a shot the other night during extended SWToR maintenance..
They’ve improved quite a few things and I actually enjoyed it when doing some of the group content with friends.. I’m thinking I have something to play now when SWToR servers are down each week ;p
