Star Trek Online, Cryptic’s MMORPG set in the universe from Gene Roddenberry’s imagination, has released its demo today. The demo gives you an unlimited amount of play time with the game, just with a limited amount of its content. In the demo you can only play as the Federation faction and only in the Tutorial and Stranded In Space levels. But, you can play it for as long as you want. In addition to the demo, Star Trek Online also offers some rewards programs for current or previous subscribers as well. Here are the details:

• Veteran Rewards program – “For every 100 days of playtime logged, players can collect rewards including new titles, ship and ship slots, boosts, costume pieces, character slots and more. Of course, Lifetime subscribers will also receive all Veteran rewards as they reach each 100-day milestone.”
• Referral program – “When a player successfully refers a friend, he or she will receive the title of Courier, a unique Tribble and non-stacking skill points for your Captain and Officers. When a referred friend subscribes to Star Trek Online, the referrer will receive an additional title of Recruiter, a unique holographic bridge officer and 400 Cryptic points!”
• Winback Weekend – “Users with a valid Star Trek Online retail account, but no current subscription, can log-in with their existing characters and play free for the entire weekend. This initiative will kick off on May 7, 2010, at 10 a.m. PST and last until May 10, 2010, at 10 a.m. PST. Pre-load begins on May 3, 2010.”
