    Cryptic, if that offer never happened why mmorpg.com has a thread titled "STO price slashed to $39 plus 60 days gametime." (http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/271014)

    Come on! Answer this!

    I dare you!!

    :mad:


    And there is always this one too ( I am archiving these pages before the Cryptic history rewriters get out in force )

    I like the game, I see tons of potential. And I am never one to make a rash decisions.

    That being said, this issue with 'phantom' game time has really got me wondering what type of company is at the controls of my favorite IP.

    Shame on you Atari/Cryptic.

    If there isn't something more concrete from Atari/Cryptic on this issue SOON (beyond the slight of hand they are trying to pull) then they can no longer count on my funds to line their pockets.

    The Clock is Ticking.......

    My new avatar sums up my feelings on this matter.

    This is exactly how Im feeling. Even though I like STO, I cant give this company any more money, just out of principle. Its a shame. I even LIKED STO.

    But not this much. They will get no more of my money unless they convince me otherwise. And thats going to take some pretty darn strong convincing.

    Yes it was such a misunderstanding it appeared on their website and then a forum post here that the date was wrong and the deal was extended until March 3rd.

    I think the FTC is going to jump all over this.

    CBS is going to freak out too.

    let's not forget that as well as all the web advertisement there was also this mail that went out. They can't delete this from my inbox.

    you can mail me with an idea if you want youtube video made. I can't promise quick as I'm 2 days into a video about this already, but I can probably knock something up.

    Remember they closed that forum the day before the sale hit. Not being sarcastic either they literally closed it on the 25th.

    Hoping it is ok to post a forum link here since it is the same companies forum.

    They actually closed it as the fury hit here and people from here started to assume that as it's nothing to do with Cryptic, Atari must be the people to shout at. And being weekend some mod panicked and pulled the plug. It was closed as a direct result of the ghost promotion.

    Well, they kept me from canceling for one more day with talk of this patch. Maybe, just maybe they're gonna pull some magical rabbit out of a hat that will fix everything, make everyone happy, and make this a game worth subscribing to.
