Perpetual Entertainment has updated their Star Trek Online web site. While it is not as fancy as the site for Perpetual’s other upcoming MMO offering Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising, it does now have a fresh, 24th century look to it.
However, there is no equally fresh information about the game on the new site, just the same out of date information that was up there before. In fact, there is less information up there than was before.
Come on Perpetual, throw us a sesterius on this one!
SOE PUT ON NOTICE – HERE IS HOW TO DO AN EXPANSION
First night follies, the problems that plague a new MMO or MMO expansion are generally accepted as the price of playing a massively online game.
However, after last night’s smooth introduction of The Burning Crusade, SOE and other MMO publishers have been put on notice: Release night pain is no longer excusable.
How did things go?
The major downside of the expansion was Blizzard’s much maligned patcher having to run, and even that seemed to be less painful than usual. Other than that, things went smoothly here.
Compare this to my first night write-up of the EverQuest II Echoes of Faydwer expansion, shown here.
Again, other publishers take note: You will be savaged, justifiably, if you have another launch night where people cannot play. Blizzard has shown that such pain is not a requirement.
