    Hey guys,

    Is Planetside free to play now? I've been seeing some links whilst searching saying there is/was a free 12 month subscription going? Then others say 30 days free etc. Am a little confused. Can someone clear this up?

    Played it many years ago, thought it was quite good. Would love to give it another crack for old times sakes.

    Cheers!

    Wow...I'm amazed it's still alive!

    According to SOE it's $19.99 + a valid credit card is required.

    But I did see some mention of free play which was a year long or something? Way back in 2007, that is.

    Exactly what I saw Signal2Noise, just got a little confused with all these different pages which are out of date saying different things. $20US is pretty steep for a 10 year old game.

    Thought maybe with the annoucement of Planetside 2 there might have been a free trial thing going?
