I have been really looking forward to STO but lately one thing about it has been getting on my nerves. How much will the damn game cost?

The software cost $50 but what about a monthly fee. I have noticed that I can pre-order it from STEAM or any other major video game distributer but nowhere does it say anything about a monthly fee. This makes me think that there is none however many game review sites have claimed that it has a $15 dollar monthly fee in addition to the initial cost. Most other Cryptic games do have a monthly fee which makes me think STO will too.

So I figured I would go to the official site to resolve this issue. Unfortunately, all this did was give me a good laugh. I went to the FAQ page and all it said was, "We haven't decided on pricing plans yet." Well, obviously this is not true seeing as how I can already buy the damn thing.

Don't believe me? Check the link for yourself; http://www.startrekonline.com/faq#8.
