One More Month
April 30th, 2010
I have one more month to go on my subscription.
Unless something changes, however, it will be my last month for a while.
I had very high hopes for the Star Trek MMO. Cryptic has good people working for it, but the execution has been rather lacking so far. It’s City of Heroes in Space at this point, without even the content from that product to support it.
Weeks ago, I put out a post with what I saw as the flaws coming out of beta. Little if any of these flaws have been addressed. Add to that my personal issues with arthritis, and this game just doesn’t hurt mentally, it hurts physically. I’m giving it one more month to see if things improve. Yes, Cryptic, that means a full slate of Klingon quests not involving pvp. That’s going to be the key factor as to my continuing to subscribe, because I cannot deal with pvp while I am nursing arthritic attacks.
I have a lifetime sub to Champions Online, so I’m in that until the end, so it isn’t like I’m going to abandon Cryptic completely any time soon. But I need to make choices in my gaming dollars, and Star Trek Online’s flaws are enough to put it on the cutting room floor at this point in time.
