After they revealed the Klingons, I kind of wish they just abandoned them all together. It seems like they threw them in as an afterthought, just so they can say their game has PvP.

Far too often their answers to question are "Not at launch, but perhaps down the road".

It seems like their whole mentality is to get this out the door and get people paying for it, then add features later.

I agree and disagree - Klingons and other races were planned from early on, but the timelines made it impossible (I guess).
Don't forget, that which is not in at launch, won't pull in more people later (at least big features, such as different factions/races). So yes, most likely Klingons were thrown in so that PvP could be implemented.
I don't think that they want it out the door, at least not the devs. But the money-givers most likely. Sigh. It is not the first and not the last MMO suffering this fate.

This is what happens when you think you can create an MMO in under 18 months time. They just create a bare bones game and expect everyone to purchase and subscribe to it so they can then start developing it over the next 2 years on your dime.

Sadly we know how the outcome will turn out, like CO, WAR, AoC, Vanguard, and many other failures. This game will sell a bunch of boxes in February, then by the summer lose more than half of those customers, then by the end of the summer they'll lose another large chunk of those remaining. Sometime a year or two later we'll finally hear from a handful of players how fun the game has finally become, but by that time it will be far to late and nobody will care since a dozen other MMO's who actually took their time in development launched in that time.

C'mon Cryptic... make Klingons their own full-fledged faction. I still really like LotRO; but I miss having an opposing faction running around the world like on WoW's PvP servers (man I hate using WoW as an example). I know it's not for everyone though.

Fluff questions that didn't address a single major concern from the community. Language? Come on, really?

Frankly I'm surprised that they DON'T have the Klingon language implemented at least to some degree.

Again. Art controlled by money instead of quality. Never a good thing. Not even always financially a good thing, which is funny.

Frankly though, as long as it keeps enough to make it profitable, I'm happy having a smaller community. *shrug* but I'm a pretty die-hard trek fan.
