I've followed STO since I joined the forums almost a year ago. The game had fantastic potential,and I believed it would be the best Star Trek game ever created. I was fond of the Dev Team and I trusted Cryptic would deliver on their promise to create a genuine Star Trek roleplaying experience.
The games Beta has only just started,but now Cryptic has announced the games release date. Star Trek Online goes live on Febuary 2nd,2010(!). That is less than three months away. Cryptic has three months to prepare the game for launch.
How could that be enough time?! Far too many good games are ruined because they were rushed to their release dates. I think the same fate is in store for STO. My faith in the games Dev Team has slowly reduced to nearly nothing in recent months,and this latest bit of news is horrifying. Three months is not even enough time to properly Beta Test,let alone get the game ready for launch.
