If you haven't heard the news, Star Trek Online is going free to play by the end of the year. PC users wanting to run their own virtual starship crew will find there's plenty to do in STO without having to spend a dime. All free players have access to every mission and zone, reaching the same maximum level cap paid players can reach, unlocking Klingons, and the ability to join guilds. Paying the $14.99 monthly subscription fee opens features and bonuses like guild creation, larger inventories, unlimited mail storage, and access to Star Trek Online's custom mission creator tool. The paid perks are nice but ultimately the subscriptions are suited for those who want to run a guild or make missions. The full list of free and paid features can be found in the source link.
