Forgot about those genre of games...really competitive type games. Not my cup of tea or a fan of due to the communities, LoL, DOTA, HoN and such, but yes, I guess that is one way that F2P has worked.

Btw, not to completely drag this topic off topic, (which I did...) but is anyone on the forum still playing STO?

Two topics we got way off topic tonight.

I'm not playing the game right now, but I'd definitely go back again if it went free to play.

Did you play when they changed ground combat? (or anyone for that matter), I think you were the one that played the "trailer" for that content update a few podcast episodes back.

Yes, I played after they changed the combat. It's easier and quicker to target enemies. But that wasn't a big deal for me. I still maintain the game doesn't "feel" a lot like Star Trek to me.

I still play I have Klingon and federation characters. Most people in my fleet are American and English with a few from Germany. But it's still very busy ingame with a healthy base.

I might be tempted to get it once it's free. Not that I'm cheap, it's just I would only be able to play irregularly so I can't justify a monthly sub. :)

We have another pretty long thread going about this game. Merging it with that.

I still play I stumped up for a lifetime at the start ,so I have a gold membership.
We are currently playing what you guys will get when free to play hits. I have to say the improvements are impressive. Ground combat is a lot better and the mission select screen far easier to access. Plus there are lots if new guns and kits.

WHOO i got a 30 day trial for christmas!

WillEagle · December 31, 2011, 08:36:15 AM

I want to check this out also when it goes free. I didn't really want to pay monthly because I wouldn't play it enough probably. And since I'll have to play this on my wife's pc I will be limited to my playing time.

I might give it another go since it seems like there's an 'unofficial' mac wrapper so I can run it natively on my MacBook.

They just added a few new things to the game , more ships have become available and The Borg have been tweaked in some missions so they are better balanced

Free to play is now active for all lapsed, old players (like me). So, time to rejoin Starfleet!
