We know how it is… You’ve got your hands full with so many sci-fi MMO’s that your wallet is screaming bloody murder. You can rejoice now as starting today Cryptic and Perfect World have a solution just for you if you’re short on cash.

Cryptic has completed the transition of Star Trek Online from subscription to the free to play model and now you can jump straight into the game without having to worry about those pesky subscription fees (if you so choose). Premium subscriptions are still there (for if you want to play multiple alternates or start a guild) and go at the game’s traditional $14.99 per month. Going free gets you the whole game (including all add-on content) so there’s nothing you’re missing if you choose not to have a regular subscription. If you’ve already had an existing account, but had it deactivated before now, don’t worry, your account is still there if you choose to pick it back up and go F2P.

Zero dollars. All the time. From now on. Live long, and (let your wallet) prosper. Make it so. Okay, no more Star Trek puns…
