Star Trek Online is now free and the Ferengi are dismayed
As of today, trekking through the stars has become considerably cheaper, it's free actually. Cryptic Studios' Star Trek Online has officially shifted to a free-to-play model. You can download it now from Steam or STO's website and get started on your Starfleet career. Free players will get a pretty similar experience to their premium counterparts, with some of the limitations going away after playing the game for more than 20 hours. To see the full list of differences between account types go here. I played STO a bit last year after initially being put off when I played the beta. The game had improved significantly, mainly thanks to the episodic content Cryptic added. These episodic missions were a lot more reminiscent of the TV series' and had the added bonus of a pretty unique reward at the end of the series. Cryptic also gave creative players the opportunity to make their own missions via The Foundry. Free players will not be able to construct their own adventures, but they will have access to other players' creations. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)It's available on Steam? I can't seem to find it yet. I'll most likely check it out, might hold my interest until the Summer when I pick up Star Wars: TOR Star Trek MMO and it's on Steam!? This spells trouble... If the specs are low enough, it would be awesome to play with my wife!
Lol @ lens flare even in the trailer. Somebody with influence in the industry has to replace the wording "free to play model" with something more accurate. It's not free, nor should it be. I am a rare guy and am quite the catch. I happen to like both Star Wars and Star Trek, yeah ladies, try to stop yourselves from getting too wet. Not on Steam yet and was removed some time ago.

8:00 PM on 06.17.2013 Dota 2 will be 'released' this summerIt's a bit weird when games that are so widely played and enjoyed shed their beta tag and are "released." I mean, I've dumped almost 400 hours into Dota 2, and it's technically not "out" yet. Anywho, Valve has finally confirm...
