ItвЂ™s already summer of 2009, the STO forums have been open for just over a year now, the new movie has come and gone (to largely positive reviews, including mine), and IвЂ™d like to revisit something I said in one of my first blog entries, and that is the prediction of a release date for Star Trek Online. WhatвЂ™s happening on Cardassia? Is The Doctor going to be treated as sentient, and get his mobile emitter back? What about B4? How are the Romulans dealing with the destruction of Romulus? Definitely worth a read. ItвЂ™s stuff every Trek fan wants to know about. The most consistent updates have been to the timeline.

The latter is definitely the less appealing option, but at least then we would just be speculating if Cryptic was even making the game instead of begging for new details from devs in IRC chat like homeless people begging for change. ThatвЂ™s the way Star Wars TOR did it, they kept the game under wraps for 3 years before announcing it so that they could keep people interested during the final push before beta and release.

The game should not have been announced when it was, to let Reverb have more time to gather information, videos, etc.

Reverb needs to step it up and get more info out to the masses to keep people interested in the game before it becomes the next SWG.

So what does this mean? To me it means one of two things: Star Wars: The Old Republic was announced months AFTER STO and they are averaging a video a month, whether it be cinematics, gameplay, or development videos. Keep in mind both of those were very well done, but itвЂ™s simply not enough. WeвЂ™ve gotten one gameplay trailer (with the launch of the site), and one character creation trailer. The website launched at the end of July of last year. The release of information and the press machine for Star Trek Online is handled by Reverb Communications, and I gotta say, theyвЂ™ve really dropped the ball on STO.

It makes me wonder who is in charge of their Public RelationsвЂ¦ Even Craig Zinkievich said there would be no new videos for STO at this yearвЂ™s Star Trek convention in Las Vegas. Tiny bits of info have dribbled out here and there through IRC chat and Ask Cryptic sessions, but nothing big. No gameplay videos, no beta announcement, no release date. That must mean thereвЂ™s a lot of new info to go over, right? Guess what! There really hasnвЂ™t been that much more information released on STO. So yes, itвЂ™s been many months since my last post.
