Star Trek Online’s launch feels like it was just yesterday, although that may be because it was in fact just yesterday. Despite the normal outcry from the usual vocal minority, the player response to the title has been great. So great, in fact, that Cryptic is rushing to get better server capacity to the title. The following surfaced on the main Star Trek website.
Hey folks,
We just wanted to update you on our in-game server capacity status. Throughout Head Start we noticed the overwhelming response to the game and we are working on changes to further increase the number of people who can play Star Trek Online at any given time. Our current plan is to have these changes in place sometime this coming weekend. We will, of course, keep you updated on progress as it happens.
Really, we just want to thank you all again for your continued support and patience. If it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t be here.

Meanwhile, do you live near London? If not, can you get there on February 14th? Cryptic is holding an attempt to get a spot in the Guinness book of world records for most people gathered in one place dressed up as Star Trek characters (with a fork in one hand, a small dog under the other arm, and two eggs balanced on a drink hat, in case the category wasn’t specific enough). Best dressed cosplayers are up for prizes, including lifetime subscriptions to Star Trek Online.
I think it’s about time to don the old borg outfit and head down to London to start assimilating.
