It seems I chose the wrong time to buy a lifetime sub then.

I'm not playing STO, i joined this guild in preparation of SWTOR. I currently play LOTRO. I bought a LOTRO lifetime the moment they announced going FTP. I haven't regretted this. There's no such thing as a free lunch. FTP means people can play part of the game for free, which is like an unlimited trial. When you want to have access to all of LOTRO's content now you have to either subscribe or buy everything from the shop. Buying everything from the shop is more expensive than the lifetime used to be.

Obviously i don't know how STO's FTP will work. They wouldn't switch to FTP if they weren't expecting to net more money this way. In theory that should allow them to spend more money on new content for the game. Unfortunately LOTRO hasn't had an increase in content since going FTP. It is assumed that the money is going to a mysterious Harry Potter MMO.

Well you know, we knew it was going to happen.

Well we knew all kinda knew STO would follow in the path Champions took. This is just sooner than expected. Unsure as to whether it is good or bad for the game though it does open the gates to Star Trek fans curious about game, but unwilling to commit cash.

The real issue here is Cryptic up to the challenge of making a F2P for STO work?

i dont know if i want to cry or jump for joy well i not much for free to play games so i leaning for crying...

ouch....

Considering I had to drop out of the game initially because I couldn't afford the subscription anymore, this makes me happy.

Ah well, now I get to look forward to lots of pay to win ships, and massive amounts of annoying griefers and such.

Pre-ordered and part of KoS already so I'm good to go.

Currenly getting my SGRA fix by playing Mass Effect (playing a mod that allows a male Shepard to romance Kaidan). Need to get caught up for ME3's release. :D

Oh, so when can I expect my refund check?


(I know, I know, I'm only joking)

i cant find the info but is Knights of Stonewall gonna be republic or sith empire faction?

Yes, we'll have a Sith faction guild as well.

so it will be like a sister guild but the main one will be the republic side and if so im currently in a sith guild with a few of my friends from work but if its ok i would like to apply to preferably the republic side at a later date.

This is a fantastic idea! Good luck to everyone!

I had a dream about the new series last night. And, of course, since it was a dream about a TV show, it meant that in the dream, I kept going back and forth between watching the show and being in the show. In my dream, the series premiere began with a chronology of Earth history from the early 21st-century--when the United States launched a nuclear-powered weather-control satellite which malfunctioned during its launch from Antarctica, which was misread by other nations as a nuclear attack and thus started World War III--to the times of Voyager. Subsequent episodes involved different characters from all five live series travelling back in time to different periods of Earth history. Nog travelled to 16th-century Spain--as was indicated in a photograph--but a malfunction in the technology made him a baby, and a tribe of Native Americans living in Spain had to raise him. The last bit I remember was about being on Voyager with the crews from two different realities interacting with each other, one crew trying to take over the other.

I hope the actual series is absolutely nothing like my dream. :)

I like this idea, I'll definitely submit my info tomorrow.
