Pathetic startrek.com Gaming Site

This is just pathetic. A month after we posted on the forums that the main www.startrek.com site is HORRIBLY out of date, to the tune of SIX YEARS, it is still in the same form even after an apparent facelift.

How can you expect to be credible to the franchise if you don't get them to update what is now YOUR page on their site from Perpetual to Cryptic?

    IF you have a problem with that site why dont you contact the administrators of said site and talk to them or post on their forums?
    Comming here and complaining will not help anything as Cryptic has nothing to do with that site.

    Ok, this post isn't serious, is it? You ARE aware that Star Trek.com is a completely different site that has nothing to do with Cryptic, right?

    This reminds me of a story. I used to work for one of the bigger cable companies in America. One day, I was helping this lady with her internet. She mentioned that she wished her connection was faster. She had the slowest we offered which wasn't even 1Mbps. So I mention that for $5 a month, she could more than double her speed and it would help with her download speeds. She tells me, and I am not lying at all, "Oh, I don't want the internet to get too fast. My computer is kind of old and I heard it will blow up the screen if it can't handle it."

    I almost died.

    My brother used to be a puter tech for a large university which just got a football team so I won't mention it. One day he got a call from a professor who was furious...absolutely FURIOUS that his console computer wasn't working in the classroom. So, my bro goes there, flips on the light switch and....nothing happens. He asks the Professor if he knew the power was out. Professor angrily responds, "Yes, I know that! I'm not stupid you know! They're working on the wiring! Now how did you TRIBBLE up my computer!" or something to that effect. Some people are so stupid you just can NOT talk to them.

    And where in the world is the any key? My computer keeps telling me to hit it but I can never find it. I just see esc, ctrl, and pgup. Eventually I just mash my keyboard and my computer gets the message though. I guess it understands authority.

    I actually had a similar answer from the suport department at NCSoft.

    I complained that the server was lagging (and so did every player that wasn't botting)...in reply I was told to check my sound card....

    Well, obviously the someone who made that site wised up 6 years ago and got a life instead of star trek. I for one applaud him!

    This thread (and the technical support problems in response) reminds me of working for internet tech support a few years ago for a northeastern telephone company.

    A lady calls up and can't get connected to the Internet. We do a bit of troubleshooting, and I start asking her some questions about her modem, at which point she responds, "What's a modem?"

    So I get even more basic, and discover that she hasn't connected a telephone cable to the modem's phone jack. I tell her she's going to need to plug a phone cable into the computer's modem jack so she can get on the Internet. This is when she starts looking over the computer to try to find some place to put the telephone plug.

    The first place she asked was whether she could plug the telephone cord into the "long slot on the side of the computer". After a little more investigation, I realized she was attempting to plug the phone cord into the 3.5" floppy disk drive slot.

    Actually that is a rather funny thing you see as for the longest time the ANY key was only the SPACEBAR for microsoft products...very embarrassing...

    Yeah, I remember the first time somebody posted about this on the forums. It is kinda sad that the official Star Trek site still thinks Perpetual is developing the game. After Enterprise died, the site was just slowly abandoned. It really is sad. I miss Star Trek's glory days back in the 90's. If only someone would make a new TV show in the Prime timeline, maybe even set around the events of this game.

    I have more beef jerky, if I could share it with you I would. Don't let it get you down, there are plenty of wonderful things in the world. This game can even improve and reach better places, never know about those things, they can go either way.

    well in some ways it is. if cryptic's marketing and PR team wants to increase sales for the game.

    they better be in touch with the startrek.com website and say hey- you guys have outdated material.

    it currently talks about PERPETUAL. and says the game is stilli in development.

    If cryptic wants to boost sales, star trek online should have been there #1 priority target.
