Two things that jumped at me in the first paragraph of that article.
While both Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy voiceovers were in the game at release Chase Masterson was not. Her voiceover only was added to the game with Season 2 as our beloved dabo holo. I even faintly recall that some fan asked her on a Con if she wanted to do voiceover work for STO and 'relayed' that to the Devs.
Secondly Klingons did not start at level 20. You had to 'unlock' them by getting to level 20 with a fed 'or' getting the 'blood of a warrior' story accolade which was in Stopping the Signal.
And then you had to start at level 1 with your klingon. The starting level change to 20 was somewhere later, though I cannot exactly recall when without going through 'all' the release notes. However I have a klingon character created as late as the middle of november 2010 who still started at level 1.
Enjoy.

Seems to me a LOT of "history" was left out of that particular fairy tale...
Not mentioning all the little 'missteps' along the way sure does cut the tale short.

"You are STRAYING FROM THE SAGA!!"
Al Rivera is just showing his support for the KDF by exaggerating the history of STO.
I don't think he exaggerated so much, as he just didn't fill in all the details of the backstory.
Leaving out the gory details must have been quite a space saver for the blog.

I also remember that there were not many T5 ship Options then
Kar'fi (no fleet Version then)
B'rel (Need T shipyard for fleet Version)
Guremba (no fleet Version)
Corsair and Scourge (both with fleet versions)
Veteran ship (no fleet Version then)
and an honorable mention to Voquv' (including fleet Version) and Marauder - which had T5 layout at T4
We definitely have more ships now
KDF: 2 tacs, 2 engs, 3 scis
KDF Roms: 3 tacs, 1 eng, 1 scis
FED: 2 tacs, 1 eng, 2 scis
TOS: 1 tac
all on T5 rep (up to temporal)
all have mastered Intel tree (and some more specs Points)
highest DPS: 60.982
