“STO forum FAIL: ‘Will you feature classic space and ground battles? Like the battle above Endor, or on the planet Hoth?’” ~ as seen on Twitter
/AFK – Huge Tracts of Land Edition
“Don’t like this MMORPG? What’s wrong with her? She’s beautiful, she’s rich, she’s got huge… tracts of land.” On Beyond Zebra thinks Evony’s gone classy. Really classy. Whereas the Ancient Gaming Noob has just gone bonkers. KIASA offers up one of the funniest articles of all time — on fishing Player Versus Developer takes a …
Sulu and Mankrik’s Wife: Partners in Destiny
It’s good that STO has its own annoying version of “Where’s Mankrik’s wife?” in the whole “Where’s Sulu?” meme. Because there’s no running joke that the internet community can’t run into the ground and refuse to give up NO MATTER WHAT. Where’s Sulu? Turn around. Yeah. Made you look.

Despite playing WoW off and on since launch, this is my first level 80 (I had five level 70′s when Wrath hit). The 1-80 …
Star Trek on Demand
I guess if Cryptic’s Star Trek dev team has a theme, it’s “we’ll make what players demand”. I’ve been hearing this repeated, mostly as a way to wave off current criticism (“You don’t like what’s not there? Then just ask for it, and our magic devs will whip it up!”), so we’ll see how it …
/facepalm
I think I’ll just let you read all this over at Massively. What did I *just say*, Cryptic? Don’t make your upcoming zone expansion paid. It’s not worth the extra bucks from paid subscribers vs. the PR hit and any loss of current/returning subscribers. Plus, one zone is not an expansion, unless it’s the biggest …
