The Original Path to 2409 posts

sarreoussarreous Member Posts: 336 Arc User
Before the game was launched Cryptic had regular posts detailing star trek online's backstory. While trying to find these, I found a thread from a couple of years ago where someone compiled the posts into google docs. Not the summaries you can find in wikia, not what you get doing the 2409 tasks in the game, but the full original posts.

I don't know who you are but I thank you for doing this and I'm reposting to share in the case that someone else might be interested. I don't know why Cryptic didn't keep these on the website.

    Nice find, I agree that this should be somewhere on forums or even ARC.

    To the best of my knowledge, those were written by Christine "Kestrel" Thompson back when a storyline was actually important to Cryptic. They ripped it down for reasons unknown during the build-up to F2P.

    You know this wasn't originally posted on the forum, right?

    It probably got lost in the website conversion.

    I think maybe I wasn't clear. This is where I found the link http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=249317

    Someone had asked where the posts had gone, and someone else said that they had a pdf with all of them and shared it.
