Stewie (to Lois): Look at him. He runs like a Welshman. Doesn't he run like a Welshman? Doesn't he? I think he runs like a Welshman. ...

I've been playing STO on my Medion Akoya P6611, 700 US dollars at an ALDI last year.  Plays medium graphics flawlessly, but I can hammer out top of the line at like 15 fps.

Yup. lot of interesting stuff. Difficulty sliders are kinda a pain, but not mandatory. You do have to watch out what diff your team is on before joining, the rewards are nicer but elite can be darned near impossible sometimes. You get major injuries and minor, etc regenerators are the new healing "potions". Commodities brokers are now giving missions ate sol, k-7,ds9, sierra starbase 39. The random rewards for aiding planets are i hear, quite awesome or stupid. can be that random.  The PLUS side of ALL plus sides-

Never so early in its life. CoH only started doing them like three years in, dunno if WoW does but if they do, it wasn't when it was so young.

I'm tempted to get on it so I have more evidence for my case, shame free weekends are always level-capped, would be a shame if someone could get to endgame for free.  :nono:

But STO isnt actually running great eh.
They expected to have more players, than they have now.

Still, they should've get like a 10 day trial for people who might want to buy it.

Prime has a point...  im not trying to trash the game, even if im not fond of it, however i do find it surprising theyre giving free-bees so soon... i have no doubts the game isnt selling as strongly as they anticipated...

i gotta agree there as well...  i would absolutely be willing to give it a shot; so far all ive seen are what people post in forums and such...  besides, if i play it then i have a stronger case saying that it sucks lol j/k :P

It's really too bad my computer doesn't have the specs to install this otherwise I'd buy the game...*sighs* the joys of a single processor :(

Lol Jimmy, Do you think anybody would team with us though? :P I imagine I'd spend most of my time griping.  :funny

If anyone has a spare refer-a-friend key, please PM it to me or send it to my MSN (darkthunder84@hotmail.com). A friend of mine might be interested in playing the game, but I have no more referral keys. Was hoping to get some gaming in this weekend during the "Welcome back" session.

I'm not sure if I'll return to this game or not.. paying 15? per month that is practically 25-30% useless to me due to bugs in gameplay isn't very tempting.
