Star Trek Online

It's an easy mistake.  All the various Free to play games vary somewhat in what they offer - especially in the MMO area.  For example, Everquest 2 has more restrictions in it's free to play version.  It's kind of a case-by-case thing.  Anyway, I'm just glad more people will get the chance to try out this game.

Much happier now. :)

Since I bought a lifetime sub when the game came out I have a perma 'gold' account.

Well, I got the game downloaded, patched and installed again.  Played for about an hour.  It seems more fun and quite a bit different than the last time I fired it up.  I may give this a go for awhile now.  Beat off some more pesky Orion pirates and saved a ship.  I'm a Lieutenant now and just got sent to Vulcan on some kind of diplomatic mission.  Fun!   :vulcan

Really hoping to try this out on the 17th! I have been having trouble finding the specs on this game though. I'm sure it is on the website but I just can't find it. I know I have plenty of hard drive space but I was wondering about my video card mostly. Does anyone know the recommended specs???

[Rico]

There are a lot of video options in the game itself, so unless your video card is ancient (4+ years old), you should be fine.

Here are my specs for my wifes pc. Mine is even older.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 2.20 ghz.
32 bit
2 gb ram
NVidia GeForce 6150 LE video card.
So what do you think??

[Rico]

Thank you for posting that, Rico, that really helps.

I'll be trying this game out when my account is available on the 17th.  Doesn't hurt to try out games again for free.

Tim - if you bought and paid for the game previously you can play again right now.  Just like I am doing.

I tried a couple days ago and it said I had to wait.  Guess I'll try in a bit again though...

Tried again, said I didn't have a subscription so I have to wait until the 17th.

Well, I got an email to previous buyers of the game and subscribers that allow them to play under their old accounts already.  My old characters are there and everything.  Are you logging in with your old account?
