We will be bringing down Star Trek Online on Thursday January 5th from 7:00AM to 10:00AM PDT (1400 to 1700 UTC) in order to perform maintenance and apply a new patch.
Starting tomorrow (Thursday, January 5th), anyone with a lapsed subscription to Star Trek Online will be able to log into the game and play as a Silver member. This means that any account that has in the past subscribed to the game, even if only for the initial month, can come back and play for free!
I hope Cryptic customer service at least sends expired subscriptions an e mail to let them know.
