Star Trek Online News - Addressing Some Complaints

Posted by Jon Wood on Mar 22, 2010  | 192 comments in our forums

MMORPG.com's Jon Wood had a chance recently to sit down with Star Trek Online's Craig Zinkievich and Bill Roper to talk about some of the bigger complaints that players have had about the game since its launch.

C-Store

When Cryptic launched their “C-Store” for Star Trek Online, many people were outraged. They felt that asking them to pay a subscription fee and then offering further products for sale on top of that fee was, at the very least, not in the spirit of MMORPGs.

Zinkievich and Roper answered the question by pointing out that they have a policy against putting items in the C-Store that requires players to buy them, with nothing required for advancement, and nothing that allows players to “play better,” or, as Roper put it, the store is populated with “Nothing that’s truly substantive.”
