Blog PC MMO

Apologies for the no-show.

Update #2: Cryptic has been in touch with the following message: "On behalf of Cryptic Studios we would like to apologise for missing today's scheduled live interview with Eurogamer and their readers to discuss about the launch of our new sci-fi MMO Star Trek Online. There was an unfortunate mix up with the scheduling of the interview on our part which meant that we were not able to join the interview and answer your questions. We would like this opportunity to say a big sorry to your disappointed readership and the editorial team over at Eurogamer." Thanks also to Craig for replying in the comments.

Update: I'm very sorry to say that Craig hasn't turned up, so we're not going to be able to do the interview after all. We've asked Cryptic for an explanation which we will post here as soon as it is provided, but at the moment one is not forthcoming. Needless to say we're very sorry for wasting your time and can only apologise for the inconvenience.

Please don't make your questions too long. Big paragraphs are cut by the system and the question part is usually missing. Thanks!

I was very disapointed with C Online. What lessons were learned from it for Star Treks launch?

Thanks Bertie... Read that too late... do you see the questions anyway in full length or how long may the questions be exactly?

EDIT: Also if we see some spelling errors, is there a chance to fix them?

If the questions are too long, would we see that cutting thing happen under 'questions you have asked' part?

I'm ever so sorry. We've set the dogs out to try and track Craig down.

Most likely he got scared. Imagine the angry mob that would torture him with questions.

Must be local inteference effecting the transport buffer, suggest re-routing power from the deflector array and trying to boost his pattern. Or just give him a call on his mob?

When STO was announced I went straight for a Lifetime membership and the most expensive digital download version available on Steam.
I have since had everything refunded and just gone for the basic version because something just didn't feel right about the beta.
And now the games producer doesn't bother to turn up for a big publicity event on EG ?
Looks like my instincts about "something not feeling right " about Cryptic may have been correct......

I think Craig is still in Cryptic beta phase, meaning that he is both nonsensical, buggy, uninteresting and somewhat incomplete. We will only have access to him once every week for no more than 2 hours. But fear not, eventually Craig will be released to everyone in a nonsensical, buggy, uninteresting and incomplete state for a ridiculous price, and Cryptic will slowly release an array of premium downloadable content to make Craig almost as interesting as he should have been coming out of beta, but this will be many years from now when nobody cares... And other developers bother to make a better MMO... I mean Craig.

I actually enjoy Star Trek Online. Sure, it has problems, and I'm not that happy with the price, but I do think it has potential. It's just a shame that Craig creates an impression of unprofessionalism.

Guys - I'm wicked sorry that there was a mix-up. It was a 'typical-stupid-crunchtime-sleepdeprived' - "chat's at 5pm!" but in a different timezone screw-up.

I was really looking forward to the chat - I'm sorry to have let everyone down. : (

I really hope that we have the opportunity to do this again soon. Again - really sorry.

Aww I feel bad for saying you were unprofessional now

Everyone makes mistakes and it's no reason to think any less of you and the game just because of it. Maybe next time eh!

Looks like Craig registered on EG just to say sorry, so I take my hat off to him for the effort.
