Cryptic first announced that Star Trek Online would go free-to-playin September 2011. The game was originally launched in February 2010.
The MMO is one of many that have dropped subscriptions in favour of the F2P model, alongside DC Universe Online, Age of Conan, City of Heroes, Champions Online and The Lord of the Rings Online.
Many have reported dramatic rises in both registered users and revenue.
