I have been here along time and was a founding supporter of Crpytic and STO ( I know that shoulds stupid now) However over the past week i have found myself not playing. My in game time was tapering off slightly but now i feel i have lost all drive to play. I took a quick look today (as run out of everything other than Kitomer to do) and i could not see anymore than 1 shard at the majortiy of sectors (Inc SB1) Has the majority of players come to the same end point as me after only 10days of the S1 content additions? I know space is supposed to feel vast and empty but this is getting stupid. I could not even get a PVP match running after 20 mins of trying and ou can forget a pubgroup for Fleet actions. My hope is fading fast for STO not to turn into CO.

I feel this will be one of my last posts on these forums

I'm still playing several days a week. We do need additional content, I agree, but the Developer seem to be heading in the right direction (even if it is not always as fast as we would all like.)
But it's not really you. It's an anti-time future you. That had to go through the guardian of forever gateway to stop the mirror you from going into the past and tinkering with the alternate past you that sacrficed one of you to help bring peace between starfleet and the crimto.
I saw it all in Yesterday's LordofPit weekly episode.
There may be less instances than when I started, but all the instances I play in have been well populated, to the point where I haven't really noticed much difference. It only takes a few minutes to get into my daily PvP matches. There's nothing major to worry about yet, and new content is well on its way. I'm not seeing a problem.
Im only really able to play for 2 hours a day, and even then I take it at my pace. Im in no rush to get to the highest level ASAP. Every now and then I just arbly fly around admiring my ship (Miranda
Btw, when you used to change instance you would get a list to choose from. Not now :rolleyes:
I'm still addicted to the game. I bought Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2, and Left 4 Dead 2 at the same time as STO, and I haven't even taken those out of the wrapper yet!
Can I have your other-stuff?
But I still have lots to do...I quit for awhile and have come back armed with hope..so just made admiral and have all the admiral stuff to do, then I figure I will make another toon (escort this time) and do all the stuff...then science.....then perhaps they will have my Klingon content available and I can finally do what I wanted to do all along.
Suffice to say...I'm playing
This sounds about right for me as well.
Cannot bring myself to play. Lurking the forums tho...
No offense, but it seems a little silly asking whos playing when there is tens of thousands of people that still play every day.
Well, this was the first me, and this is the second me... there's a third me, but he doesn't even know he's me... yet! Oh, and sadly... there is no mini-me and may never be... but that's another story altogether...
Frankly I don't see the point in this thread, there's tens of thousands of players still playing, so what if only a couple post on the forums?
Where are you getting these figures from?? The forums have slowed so much now that you can post and it wont move for 2 days off the front page. There is no more than 1 or 2 shards active at almost every sector. End game i have seen 4 (today) thats 200 people only. People are still playing but the numbers are low and far lower than they should be at this stage of the game.
It is also impossible to gauge the number of people playing via a forum thread. And unless you can be in every shard at every time of every day, that's hardly a viable show of what is the norm.
Yup...me too! Still playing.
and since the free month finished and now. left we have about 20k subscribers and about 2k who play every night, because a correct figure is usually 10% of the player base logged in during peak times.
sto will probably announce team cuts in the near future to a skeleton crew, and then as they are unable to add any content, a few months after that the server will close.
i predict if not by the end of this year, then sometime next year sto will be closed.
and maybe in the future another studio will take a crack at it, or paramount will decide enough is enough for an online st game.
