Passing the Torch

Hey folks,

I thought this post would be easier than it is. Earlier this year, I was promoted to Senior Community Manager in my team. With it, I've been able to exact some really positive changes to not only Star Trek Online, but a lot more of our titles. Yet for all the good I am able to do, I am only one person with so many hours in the day (and nights.. and weekends). So I thought, TRIBBLE that - let's change that.

After numerous cloning attempts failed, we needed to bring someone on board. As much as I am capable of, I want STO to get the love and attention that it deserves. This meant bringing someone to be your dedicated Community Manager once again. In the next coming weeks, we will be passing the torch (Not the leek, that's still mine) to the newest generation of CM.

A couple key points of interest.
  • I'm not leaving leaving. My current role is still the same, allowing me to function more as an advisory. I want to see more positive change, and this is another good step in that direction. Our new CM will be helping lead that positive change, giving another voice to you folks. I'm slated to still be working alongside him.
  • The Community Manager will be working amongst Cryptic. I want them at the heart of the situation to be abreast of every change, every update as well as be able to more readily create change.
  • He's a nerd. Really. I had the opportunity to vette him alongside both me and Cryptic folks. We want the best of both worlds here.

I don't want to make any sappy remarks - it's already hard enough to keep my composure about something that's very near and dear to my heart. Thank you for everything you've given me, my beloved community. You will never know how important you have been to me these past three years.

Thank you,
Morrigan

    You have done wonders for this community Trendy, and although you aren't leaving leaving, you will still be sorely missed!!
    They say time is the fire in which we burn. Right now, Captain, my time is running out. We leave so many things unfinished in our lives... I know you understand.

    Will still hopefully get to see Morrigan's / pwlaughingtrendy cheery & positive attitude drive many new & exciting changes for the STO community. :'( Happy tears... <3 Similar to the work done around ship design with the Carrier &/or now Lukari ship.

    I for one will miss you, Trendy. You have done an incredible job in a HARD job, and you rarely get the praise you deserve. Thanks for all you've done for us!

    you DID see the thread just above this one with the man introducing himself, didn't you? (or just below, depending on which was posted in more recently)

    hell, he actually posted in this thread too​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"

    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"

    It's no joke. Mike is breeki's RL first name, and he has to now post under an official handle. If you notice his join date, it was just last week. This is a new account created just for the CM job.

    So you're saying Nabreeki and the new CM guy are the same person?

    In any case, thank you for your service to the community, Trendy, and welcome to the team, Mike!
