I will give 3 examples of things this game did historically to encourage co-operation and gameplay. I'm fully aware that not everyone remembers these things with joy and I respect that, but it doesn't change the fact that these things did make the game work as an MMO.

The original MACO/Omega gear. They were unique, the best gear you could get and a display of your efforts in the game. This was enough motivation to run hundreds upon hundreds of the Borg STFs to collect all the random drops you needed to acquire them. There were multiple chat channels dedicated to form teams to run the STFs around the clock and everyone learned how to run them.
The original NWS (No Win Scenario). Clever taunting from the devs claiming they never think we could beat it was enough to trigger the obsession to actually beat it. Once again we saw multiple chat channels dedicated to form teams. The rewards were excellently scaled and a motivation to push the mission just one more wave. Icing on the cake were the surprise server wide announcements when someone finally beat it. The developer who did this really knew human behavioural science - well done!
Server wide tasks during recruitment events. These had a very noticeable effect on overall activity in the game. Visible progress bars to show how far we had come to reach the next bonus was a great trigger. Excellent implementation.

To end this post I'd like to put focus on the constant lowering of numbers of players per instance. This is an MMO. When I play I want to see hundreds of other players around me and this was true when the game was released. Whatever the problem is that makes you lower the instance population limit, FIX IT please, because it's really depressing to barely see another soul when you play an online game.

I am one of those people who saw the original announcements for this game in PC Gamer magazine. I went and preordered. I counted the days for the open beta. Over the years, I have loved this game and contributed whenever I was able to afford it.

The post today calling for the game to return to being an MMO really hit me. It has been quite a long time since I felt that sense of being part of a larger community. The dance parties on top of the volcano on Risa or the Torchlight Ceremony for Leonard Nemoy were the sorts of things that make online gaming great. Regardless of if people are still doing this sort of thing, I've drifted away.

The game really has become a blatent cash grab of late. Promo ships have been around for quite a while, but they have become an object of bitterness instead of just a cool set of pixels that we could all envy when it turned up in TFOs. The unfixed (or unfixable) bugs, the company running the game laying all of the communication on a few people who don't get the support they need from their employer. Most of all the constant negativity surrounding everything. I'm calling it quits.

I know this doesn't matter to most of you. One more old player bowing out? Cool, maybe the server will stop rubber banding so much. And maybe I'll get the itch and come back. But it won't be soon. I use my very limited free time to relax and STO just isn't relaxing any more. The voice work and visuals are the best they have ever been, but as a player? I have never felt more like a wallet that they just want to upend and shake until I'm empty.

So. To all the devs, to all the artists, to all the actors:

Thank you. For a decade you've entertained the hell out of this one fan. And I hope that you all keep this thing alive for another decade.

For me? Its like the man said.
