Star Trek: Online goes free-to-play

How much is 400 c-points in US dollars?

According to the forums, about five bucks (and my own math, which I'm about 99% sure is correct). So they're basically giving them five bucks a month, more or less.

So if you think about it, after the 20 month break even point, they're basically getting a $20 value (not having to buy the $15/month subscription, plus the 400 C-points) for nothing. Just sitting back on their ass and doing whatever.

Yeah, I really don't get the bitching. But it wouldn't be the Internet without uninformed jackasses ranting about some great injustice or another, I guess.

There's a FAQ up.

"Dilithium replaces the old "Marks" and "Emblems" of Star Trek Online. Your current Marks, Badges, and Emblems will be converted into this new single currency...."

Thank god. There's a change that's been a long time coming.

I'm a lifer, and I just don't get the bitching. I'm just happy to get more people into the game!
