...or strayed depending on how you look at it.

Kinda thinking about making this a ritual since I feel it's important to remind people of what we were looking forward to and where we're at now.

    Well, I just watched that entire video.

    Interesting that things like the duty officer system were talked about in 2008, as well as the idea about fleet's creating starbases and so forth, and it took this long just to get that duty officer system, with no idea in sight yet about fleet starbases. I liked a lot of what he talked about, unfortunately I don't see half of it in-game yet :( I like the direction they were aiming for back then, and I noticed someone asked about grinding and he said they definitely didn't want that. However, that's kind of what we've gotten under PW now, the game has become more grindy. I think some of that direction has been lost, that focus they had in 2008 has been lost.

    Interesting video, I wish more of what was talked about then would have been carried through by now though.

    KDF wasn't playable from the start, was available once you had a lvl 6 Federation character if I remember right. And that was when the KDF has even less than what they have now.

    I remember playing this back in open beta... the week before the game came out. And being "What is this? this is nothing like they showed in any clips or trailers", they had just order the sever that week as well. The forums ran red with blood, I even remember a thread about returning the pre-order game from stream and how to do it.

    Only thing the KDF had was pvp, at least there was a good deal more pvp players back than. I guess most of them left.

    Maybe another 2 years we will have "most" of what they said this game was going to have.

    edit: I kinda which we had random missions that Starfleet or KDF high command would send you. Kinda what the host of the video was hinting at and not this laundry list that we have now. :(
