It's funny watching people try to downplay the clearly large number of people who are interested in playing the game.
I dont think any sane person here is questioning interest. They may question how in the world some can enjoy it as much as they do.
I would think that would be rather obvious, at least to me. The ones who seem to be enjoying it looked past their preconceptions of what they felt Star Trek should be like and found that cryptics version of ST was fun. At least that has been so in my case, and many others that I have noticed. It really is hard for people to overcome their own person opinions of what Star Trek means to them. I don't blame them for feeling that way as its only human, but I think these same people were expecting way more than what was possible to do in the short time it was in development. heck, even if the game had been in development for 10 years, there would still be people pissed because there was bound to be some aspect that they felt ST should have in it and it not be there. you don't have to look any further than this board to see just how much people expected ST to have. I mean, you got people who want to be bartenders, miners, pirates, anything outside of being a federation member or a klingon member. You got tons of folks that feel player crews are a must, everyone being admirals is crazy (I kinda agree with that in a way), people who feel that every situation should have a diplomatic solution to it and so on and so forth. That only just tips the top of what people expect from ST and frankly I dont think any company could have given us all that.
Oh I did want to mention, I really do not understand the problem of server is full thing. I have been able to get into the game several times today without much problem. On one attempt it took me 3 tries to get in, that was the most it has ever taken me. Obviously there is a problem somewhere though as cryptic has said the server cap was hit and they will be adding more space, but I really have not had any issues getting in.

Different people enjoy different things. True story.
People who think everyone can only enjoy what they enjoy or have to hate what they hate, are pretty close-minded.
