    Lovely signature lol...

    I'll be honest though I am pretty sure last year is the last year for me playing their holiday event. The poor development of the KDF and now pretty much the entire game for an "expansion" is just a skill point grind and nothing more. So unless that changes any time soon you can expect to not see those of us who used to be loyal players/customers is going to be a sad holiday indeed for them.

    Probably the latter. Remember the RMC account-wide... um, let me check... erm, single unlock... thing? That was a nice thought, but also disappointing at the same time; it's probably better to make a few folks really happy than a bunch of folks "WTF!?! Oh... meh" at best.

    Not that it wouldn't be great if they did it properly, but the last one was not done properly... raffles are easier to get right, and if it screws up you only have to get permission to make it right for one player.

    Yeah - great to see you guys have finally found a time where virtually NO European player will be online - 6 pm PDT = 3 am CET on a Wednesday/Thursday.
    Why not schedule the next server maintenance to that time as well?

    I was stoked when i saw that a Livestream is going to be at a good time for those of us in Australia,China,Japan and many other country's that miss out on the Live streams and be in the running for cool Prizes.

    I read the comments here, and are what i think im getting a hint of?, that this livestream is going to be live with just the Devs playing and none of that usual fun where everyone logs in game and celebrate milestones or events "With the Devs"?

    I hope there will be a timeslot for the european customers too. Maybe for the german customers a lifestream with our german CM?

    It became very quit in the german community from Cryptic/PWE site. No information about the weekend sales for example. I hope we get the blog entry today about the winter event.

    Yeah cuz Europe is made up of Germany only right? And EVERYONE speaks the language right?
    I was taught that bloody thing for 6 years in school as a mandatory 4th language, but you know what I remember of it? A few words and nothing else, not to mention not understanding a damn thing of it when they start speaking in turbo speed like usually they do, then it's impossible to understand them.
    So no thanks to german livestreams, let them air in Germany, but the rest of us Europeans want it in English, which at least we can understand.
    It would be nice for them to set up a cm in the UK too and then they could make English livestreams for us and keep the US lviestreams whenever the hell they want to as I can almost guarantee that most europeans wouldn't even touch US livestreams if there was an EU English one, but I guess that's their issue too, cuz then they won't be able to get their 2-3k viewers on the US livestreams and the one coming up is just gonna show them how much they need us.

    Yeah....the time....there has to be a good reason why they picked that time. They are simply cutting out a large portion of the player base and potential audience.

    I like watching these streams sometimes....but 2am? You could have picked a better time. :/

    This was a misunderstanding. ;)

    I don't mean to have a german only stream for european customers.

    I mean, that while the german community have a CM, it would be a good idea to have an extra german livestream with the german CM for the german speaking community, beneath a english stream on a better timeslot for the english speaking community.

    Okay, as another European player.

    I can understand that you slot this livestream at a time where most Americans will be done working and getting home. You want them to be able to watch.

    However, we have seen double livestreams in the past. How about you also slot a livestream at 11am PDT? Unless I did the math wrong, that should lead to livestream times: 7pm GMT, 8pm ECT, 9pm EET. And remember that that also covers not only Europeans, but players from Africa as well.

    Would not be too hard I can imagine?

    Oh Gods! Snow-Borg?

    I actually fell off my command chair laughing and now my crew are looking at me askance, but I dare not show them the message or we'll never get any work done around here. The Talaxians were a bad enough distraction from real work as it is and the Y'Kun III needs a major service after that last fight with the Borg...

    Ah, but this sounds so... cool. I will certainly have to arrange some shore leave for the crew. So glad I didn't go to Risa after all (too hot for one thing) and I can use my leave now!

    Now, what did I do with that recipe for [Warnog]?

    I have to admit, that's pretty vague.
    Is it a mistake in the date? A livestream with only him playing? A livestream on Tribble? A bug in the Iconian matrix?
