Hey from the UK!! having gotten the game when it first came out i finally have a laptop to play it on just posting to make some new friends that play now as apparently its more fun if you know people lol.
Same thing happened to me. I got all excited when I heard about STO, and pre-ordered it a little bit before launch. It was September that year before I actually got into the game because my PC at the time wouldn't run it.
Rayven, is that you dressed as your STO character in your avatar? If it is, excellent. The costume is looking good
omfg that costume is immense!! and thank chu i will send a request when the server goes back up... i think i might be a tad addicted haha. sat here clicking fingures waiting for the next few hours to pass
Holy cr*p. Another one from Newcastle??? Blyth here, so just down the road, plus I also met people in game from Jesmond, and Wallsend. Whereabouts in Newcastle are you?
If we all got together, we would have the makings of our very own fleet, lol.
haha it wasnt me was it?! i didnt think there were any other trekkies for miles... hmmph, ive just noticed im apparently part of a fleet... i had no idea *hides face*
Ummm, no, pretty sure it wasn't you, lol. I do know what you mean about being the only trekkie for miles though. I think my closest 'fellow trekkie' is my friend in Jesmond, although you in Wallsend may be a little closer.
Hi. Welcome to the game. Send me a friend request at @rayvenwing and if we are ever on together ill introduce you to a few people. See ya soon
But Vulcans and Andorians don't mix well.
Now about this whole newcomer initiation. Who the hell warns/inducts/ trains these newcomers anymore? First time I abuse this one they will be all wtf and I will almost be sad. almost.
OK fine. ahem, here is your 10Forward handbook courtesy of Zero. See my signature for the official 10Forward hang out.
1. In Ten forward nothing is as it seems except nothing.
2. Your posts will be hijacked, derailed, and or danced upon here. Deal with it.
3. 10Forward is the only safe haven from Trolls
4. 10Forward may be visited by trolls from time to time as Mods dump their posts here. It is common courtesy to derail these threads and poke fun at them. Usually with colorful sticks and cattle prods.
5. If are a woman or have the scent of one on you Hort will be drawn to you. The Church of 10Forward will provide sanctuary at a price.
6. Zombie outbreaks happen, always keep your shotgun loaded.
7. Anime happens. Watch some or nod often.
8. Insanity is not required but it sure helps!
9. Raven hides in the shadows. Insulting/hitting on her may result in missing body parts/organs.
10. Ask any question you may. Just don't expect every answer to be helpful or even relevant.
Welcome to the game! I bought the disc several months before I had any internet access, I didn't know anything about these games and figured I could at least install it or do character creation or *something*. I learnt, I guess. :-)

J/K. Nothing agaist the British. I just like to tease my brother-in-law and all that and it tends to bleed over a bit.
WELCOME!
*pokes the new guy*
Don't mind the insanity that happens here, it's all part of the deal.

And occasionally throw psychotic tribbles at 'em...
