Star Trek Online Price Cut as 'Season Two' Update Hits
by Alice O'Connor, Jul 28, 2010 9:00am PDTThe price of Cryptic's star-trekkin' MMORPG Star Trek Online has been permanently cut to $19.99 to celebrate the launch of its 'Season Two' update yesterday.
Subtitled 'Ancient Enemies,' the update brings eight new Klingon Episodes starring "the Fek'ihri, the fabled enemy of Kahless, founder of the Klingon Empire" as well as a little peace and love on the Federation side with 'Federation Diplomatic Corps' missions.
There's also a higher level cap plus new 'Mark XI' items, new 'Tier 5' ships and "high-level versions of every Special Task Force mission and Fleet Action." More importantly, you can now play 'Dabo'--the casino game famously played in Quark's Bar.
You can download a 7.36GB demo for Star Trek Online from FileShack.

Hell WoW's only real competition right now is probably themselves with the SC2 release.
I had such high hopes for STO, the starship battles were cool but it quickly turned into "use this combination or fail" type of gameplay. no variations just cookie cutter BS.

Sir the ship's sinking.
Throw all extra copies overboard!
I agree. I played this for a whole four hours with friends to try the 'demo' after realizing we couldn't actually play together on trial accounts (you can't group with other trial accounts... wtf?!?). The ship battles were cool, the away missions were retarded.
Honestly who is in charge of making games now days?
I know a lot of people felt like they got burned when it came out, as its was just not a lot of fun and lacked endgame, but it is a lot better now...
I do regret the lifetime sub I got, but I can pop on when I want and see whats changed and I do a few times a month on average, at least now I can level up my toons from 45 to 51....
I don't think I will do another game from Cryptic at release , they seem to need 6+ months of polish before being acceptable.
at this point the client should be free to get new players in, I am guessing player base is around 50k, just going by the activity of PvP and sector space.. :(

Stores have been selling at that price for months now. I bought it for $25 after a month of its release.
It's still a waste of money.
