I just bought STO (including 30 days free gametime).
Now i want to activate my account and start playing. However, i dont want to setup a monthly subscription just yet. I want to try out the game first. Second, the gamecards are not for sale yet in my neighbourhood. I dont have a creditcard or paypal account.
It looks like they force u to setup billing right away, or am i mistaken? I want to start playing today, is there any way how i can do that?
If you have a gamecard, do you still need to set up a subscription? I refuse to use a credit card online with MMOs, too many horror stories about "hidden" charges as the game plays on.

lol are you serious? Do you wear a tin foil hat around to prevent the cia from monitoring your thoughts too?
You still need a renewing subscription set up . The payment for the subscription will be the game time card.
ie 1 month sub need at least a 1 month time card.
3 months sub need atleast a 3 month time card applied
6 months sub needs at least a 6 month time card applied ETC.

So basically, i dump the timecard info into the subscription page and i dont need a cc/pp ?

correct the game card will be your payment method . so if you select the 1 month subscription then apply a 1 month game time card your account will be active with a play until dat of 30 days from active (this is the 30 days free time) then at teh end of the 30 days the time card will be used giving the 30 days subscription time at which point if you want to play beyond the gametime card you applied you would need to apply another game time card.
the thing about game time cards it is not refundable once applied. Where if you enter a cc or paypal you could cancell the game during your free 30 days time and not pay anything. the account will just go inactive at 30 days.
where if you use a game time and you cancel the account will not go inactive until after the 30 days free time plus the 30 days gamecard time.

Yea, I'm just a little annoyed about that actaully, just bought STO from a retailer and the retailer explicitly told me that there was no time provided to teh game so i bought a 60 day card to do wtih it, now i open the box and it says "30 days free + 30 day time card included". Boy am i ****ed.

Thats something you need to take up with the retailer, and a possible case for fraud etc.

You can also try contacting billing support, but I'm not sure if they would do this for you or not.
Thats the way they all do it...sorry...billing doesnt occur untill after the 30 days included with the game purchase ends.
