I've been playing STO on and off since the very beginning - I pre-ordered my Collector's Edition in late 2009, and picked it up after work in February of 2010. I was so into the game when it first came out that I purchased a Del Taco promotional cup/code on eBay in order to unlock every promotional item I could find online.
However, as a Parenting Gamer, I don't have the time to devote to any game straight on through - as such, every year or so I spend about a month playing with all the cool new stuff that the Devs have created, and then give it a break. Seeing as it's February, it's almost time to dive back in - and some cool New Expansion goodies always help!
(Fun fact - I had my Collector's Edition pin on my when I interviewed Leonard Nimoy for a community television show I produced. I didn't wear it, as I was trying to be respectful of his photographic focus for his visit to my area, but it was in my left front pocket the whole time. An amazing experience.)
I have been playing since 2012 and recently upgraded to a LTS. I am a bit of a ship collector (when I can afford it) and would love to have this ship in my collection!
I've been playing now for about 6 years, and it just keeps getting better and better, everything from graphic detail to story, to general fun, it's awesome.
I have been playing Star Trek online since February 2010 I even remember watching the First Look that MMOHut did that's what made me want to play Star Trek Online that and i'm a huge Star Trek fan
I started about 2 years go now thanks to a previous anniversary event mention in a OnRPG newsletter and have been having fun ever since. This looks like a nice ship so fingers crossed I have some raffle luck. Thanks for the chance at a new ship.
As the title says, I have been playing since the beginning. Well, technically, before the beginning. I was active in the community forums back when Perpetual was the developer, and even more so after Cryptic took over. And I participated in ever closed beta session. Yep, I'm a fan.
