To celebrate the launch of its latest additions to Star Trek Online, developer Cryptic Studios is offering a free, limited time "weekend" of game time for former voyagers.

The "welcome back, weekend" is aimed at former Star Trek Online players who "got busy" following the MMO's release and no longer subscribe to the game's monthly fee. If a user has a retail product key registered on their account, they will be able to play Star Trek Online for free from August 4 until August 9.

"Maybe you got busy with work or family vacations, but we want to invite you to explore the Final Frontier again," an online community rep on the game's official forum wrote. "All you have to do is patch up and log in."

Sadly, celebrations do not include members who have downloaded the trail version of the MMO. And let's face it, that party would be way too wild.

I loved this during beta so I bought the retail when it shipped. I played for two, got bored and quit. Not sure why but it just stopped being entertaining.

I bought the game so I could play the beta. I played the beta, but never downloaded the actual game. It was that bad.

Sadly, it's more like set Phasers to Fail. If a big IP like Star Trek can't keep people playing because they "got busy" with other things, then maybe they didn't make a fun or interesting game.

  No amount of popular IP laces with LSD can save a shitty game. : The_Turbinator
  - I mean to say "laced" there, as in laced with LSD. Hit "s" instead... :( : The_Turbinator
- I'm pretty sure that with LSD, STO is mindblowing. Of course you don't have to even hit the launch button... : RumpleForeSkin72

You know, when I go on vacation or get busy with work, I typically return right where I left off to games I enjoy.
