Generous donations from players, actually! sfc ( u/CmdrSFC3 on reddit) is the wiki staff member who handles all finances, and has set up a Ko-fi page for donations. If there's any issues that aren't page formatting issues, please bug report them on our Discord in one of the #wiki channels. You will notice some broken formatting across a lot of pages (especially those linking items), although most things should now be readable. We have gotten most functionality working but there's a few things left to fix. Some (probably) frequently asked questions: While an ad blocker can avoid the worse of it, this becomes a massive issue on mobile (especially iOS) where adblockers are harder to come by.Īll old wiki links are easily convertible to the new wiki, simply replace with We've written a statement about it that you can read here, as well as on our Twitter.īut the tl dr is: FANDOM is plagued with ads, and ever since they bought Gamepedia the experience for the STO Wiki has slowly but surely gotten worse. You may have seen this announced somewhat recently, but now it's more or less functioning, but yes, there's a new Star Trek Online wiki! I’ve gone from a money player trying to build up fleet holdings run my reputations meet my friends in adventure zones and work away at crafting to logging on briefly to punch my event clock with fading hope that they might bring back some of the old magic. So in my own experience Cryptic’s effort to sell me hundreds of dollars in new ships to use in three to four hours of new content a year just doesn’t cut it anymore (regardless of who they bring in for voice acting). I have gone from hours of play a day to me logging on running my event doing my three endeavours giving the exchange a quick look, and then logging off until tomorrow.

So to say that those things don’t make enough money simply isn’t true, at least not in my case. What depth of game they have is several years old now with no effort to give us adventure zones etc. A couple of months ago I decided the game just isn’t worth spending money on any more. I justified it because I don’t have any other hobbies that cost money or had any other games I wanted to play. Well I’m going to be completely honest here I had a game STO game allowance of $200 a month. After that year they turned around and said “we’re going to repeat the year over again.” (Face palm) Did they learn about the popularity of new in depth additions to the game? No. I know part of it was due to Covid lockdowns but for the first time since the Victory is Life release they decided to do something new and gave us the Klingon Recruit event.

Last year Cryptic said they had the best year ever. When questioned about anything that adds depth Cryptic responds with “too much work” “not worth it” “doesn’t make enough money” the last one I think being their biggest motivator.

Now we get a story mission a ship or two (sometimes a pack) and if we’re lucky a patrol which is just a cutout portion of the mission. Space and ground areas to explore with story content weaved throughout - ships that go along with the theme a reputation with gear specific to the area. I do enjoy the new ships but after the last few I thought what’s the point of this latest greatest build that helps me finish a patrol or mission 5 seconds or 10 seconds faster than before? The depth of the game has become eroded after so many years of ignoring what makes Star Trek Online so great to begin with. Those things were all dropped in favour of events and new ships with a new story line addition every few months that I play one or two times, maybe three if there is anything good as a reward bonus.Įvents are good I like them but they are just variations on existing content. There was a switch from the production of replay-able content that made the player invest time and effort such as: Reputation Specialization Fleet Holdings R&D Admiralty and the DOFF system. Spending money on the game however started to be harder and harder to justify for me. “I’m a lifer” I used to say when asked about STO. I was a money player up until recently and never missed a sale.
