    I hate April Fool's Day
    Your pain runs deep.
    Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.

    Humor is subjective friend... I think it was hilarious and liked the old screenshots. Lighten up and laugh... or avoid the forums today if it's frustrating, no reason to get upset.


    That'll do pig... that'll do.

    If they had set this up right it might have been funny but when it is an obvious attempt to fool someone it loses its funny and goes right to pathetic attempts.

    If they wouldve said something like oh that the game was being cancled and start down the memory lane thing only to say an hour later "April fools"

    That wouldve been hillarious because of all the doom threads and doomsayers who you and i both know wouldve been posting tons of doom threads saying how they were right and the game was ending only to see an april fools at the end lol

    One of my favorite memories from back then was the first anniversary. Watching everyone flail around in the fountain outside of Quinn's office made me laugh the entire time. Sadly I lost my pics of that when my old PC blew up or I'd post them.

    Wow I forgot how nice the UI and icons was back then. The game has really gone backwards in some aspects.

    Oh that's great.

    Sadly it's not true...
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    I'm wondering how many people in this thread is just joking about being mad over it. I pray all.

    WHAT??!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT AM I JOKING...


    This is an outrage... irresponsible... I want Craig Zinkievich's number IMMEDIATELY! My lawyers are on their way to Cryptic's headquarters right this instant. Why if you figure how much I've spent on this game per year it averages out to almost FOURTY DOLLARS PER YEAR!!!!11!1 I simply will not stand for being personally assaulted by this ILLEGAL act of hate towards me as a paying player of this game.

    I DEMAND to have everything I want, past present AND future transferred over to the new redshirt holodeck server IMMEDIATELY before you wipe the servers and and destroy my years of work and monetary investment.

    The sad part about this joke is that there are some long time players who would actually think this was a great idea. I'm one of them.

    You know...to be honest, if you bring our data from Holodeck over-pending that this isn't a joke-with the way that you got it looking in them screenshots...I would actually not me complaining. Fact I left the game cuz the server was just too discombobulated and slow. A redesign-possibly retirement-may be in order. I'd come back for this.

    This is great fun looking at those pictures from launch.

    (But even I don't remember Quinn's office looking like that, I wonder if it was from Beta- : )

    Well done Cryptic, looking forward to the Delta Recruit event-

    Yeah, that's how Quinn's office looked early on. They later changed it to the second version and then that office was then reused as T'nae's current office on SB39.

    Thing is... This is an April Fools but if you were serious I wild actually be happy. It was a simpler time and the game was more fun. It was more visceral, more engaging. Sure it was scruffy looking and lacked content, but it was a better 'game'...

    In my opinion his is a little bit of a backfire.

    You would really spend 15 $ a month for the original Star Trek Online build?



    You must not be one of the people that is always complaining the game needs more bug fixes. No version of STO needed more bugfixes than the release version. No version of STO needed more content than that.
    No version of STO needed better game models than that one.
    No version of STO needed more endgame content.

    Quite frankly I'd prefer the skill tree shown in Rebirth to the current skill tree. There are way too many layers of obscurity between builds, the arcane inner math of STO and the end results of one's health and DPS.

    The only game I've seen where extreme build complexity could actually be considered a feature is Path of Exile. For all other games, builds should be simple to understand with the utilization of those builds housing the complexity - attack the rear arc over arcane math computing so to speak.

    Please, let me spec into Polaron Damage over Star Ship Energy Weapons. I prefer that onlook to speccing.
