Greetings,
I've noticed since the Legendary Romulan pack dropped, in-game chat has been down as well as logged members. I maybe wrong, but I've been playing daily and for extended periods of time and I have noticed this drop. Unless I am missing something. I spent most of Thursday sitting in STO alone and no one had so much as said a peep until like the end of my day; and that was when I had logged in the morning.
Something going on?

I have only played for just over a year - but it does feel like it is generally quiet, especially considering how big UFP seems to be. The TFO Saturdays are always fun though. Often enough people for two teams - although it is typically the same people every week.

I pop on a few times during my night to do invites and such, but I am guess people aren't playing much until the next content drop? I mean there's only so much you can do before you get bored =(

I think to be perfectly honest as great as many people felt the legends pack was etc there is still underneath it a 10+ year old game with a lot of bugs and a cataclysmic drought of endgame content once you’ve played and levelled all the reps, missions etc.
No real wonder people aren’t logging in much; there simply nothing to do anymore. Grinding for a few weeks dies not equate to actual content. I see no point being pressed about getting a new legendary ship or a featured tfo reward if there is nothing to use those items with except the bazillionth run of ISA or similar.
Team content is always fun but can be hard to get people going when everyone is just getting slowly worn down by the grind burnout.

Like all games, it ebbs and flows with the activity. I hit the wall not long after the Legendary pack and I've barely played since save a bit of event stuff. There's an element of what Sul said in there too, there's a drought of new content to actually play, though the Klingon stuff may well see a surge of interest once it goes live.
STO wasn't always like this though, new stuff tended to come out fairly frequently, whereas now months can go by between new episodes and such being released and for the age of it, it doesn't really have the content to tick over for long periods like that compared to the likes of WoW. A fact that a lot of the TFO's are dead in the water doesn't help matters much either. Now we just get event after event after event and they've been done to death as well, they're just not special anymore.
I reckon everyone's just bored, fed up, treading water, call it what you will with STO. The time will come when things pick up again in-game, but the community itself isn't going anywhere and we'll still be here at the good old UFP.

For me it's Quarantine fatigue, I was used to going to work and coming home to play, but now that I'm pretty much stuck at home the game became stale. I just log on to my endeavors and carry on with my day.

I would speculate that like what Sul said, a 10+ year old game. With what you're talking about Petrarch, it can be plausible that the treading water is a path which this game could be slowly seeing its end and that event based content such as we see has been keeping the game on life-support. Given how dated the game is practically speaking, it is only a matter of time we start seeing loose ends being tied up and the company will no longer offer support for the game; they may even be collecting funds from all these events and packs to garner enough funds perhaps for a new up to date version of the STO but I am just speculating. But suffice to say, the game is on life-support and not far from having its support plug pulled.... tbh

PWE's unadulterated greed killed the game for me. The Legendary pack was the straw that broke the camels back that was already strained by the blatant Gamble boxes they force on us on a regular basis.
Yes, I understand that they need to make money, but not even EA was this greedy and everyone hated them for what they did with SW BF2.
I uninstalled STO last month, as I didn't see any point in playing anymore. The game just isn't fun for me, and this is coming from someone who has supported the game since launch with a Collectors Edition, purchasing nearly every T1-5 Starfleet Ship, buying a Life Time sub, and the Temporal Special Agent and Dominion Vanguard packs. I've given them enough money.

Hey Stryker,
I suggest that you come to one of the weekly Special Operations hosted by Solace where we talk on teamspeak together. Most of the time there are plenty of people to talk to. And there is a great atmosphere. You can find theses events at the event page on our forum.
But for me personal, when i'm done with work i only log in for my daily stuff to do. When i'm done i log off to watch some tv or to study stuff. I'm more online in the weekend to gear a alt up. If you add me ingame we can do some tfo together if you like.
But tbf in general i'm not the type that talk alot so you don't see me that active in the fleet chat if i'm online.

The game has gotten quiet, and definitely needs some fresh content, but a good reason to keep playing is to have fun with friends in the UFP! Special Forces Saturdays are always a lot of fun! In fact, today (Friday, June 26th at 20:00 UFP Time) we are running a special Friday Special Forces, pre-UFPAC (https://ufplanets.com/events.php?707...nders-Squadron). Solace is planning on getting those of us who have Kobiyashi Marus to run at least one ISA...maybe more TFOs, just for the fun of it! These events are just fun, and anyone who has a leveled up STO Character is welcome to participate. Teamspeak (https://ufplanets.com/cms.php?32-TeamSpeak-Setup) is encouraged, but not required. I hope to see you there! If not, then we're there on Saturdays at the same time, excluding June 27th (UFPAC).

PWE's unadulterated greed killed the game for me. The Legendary pack was the straw that broke the camels back that was already strained by the blatant Gamble boxes they force on us on a regular basis.
Yeah that's where I'm at for buying new items. I spent a bit of real money trying to get the Borg Command ship out of a lockbox and was very disappointed with what my money spent got me. I still ended up getting it but through getting enough ECs together to just buy it on the exchange which also wasn't easy for the price it was on the exchange. Once things start being over 1k+ Zen, it's really disappointing and won't be anything I'll be saving up Zen or buying additional Zen on anytime soon.
I do still enjoy the game, but mostly am in for UFP events and fleet duties. For me it's the insane rubberbanding that keeps me from playing for long periods of time like I use to. While I can easily ignore the C-Store, barely being able to play the game with a top notch PC and solid internet connection, I feel that shouldn't be a problem and is only occurring for me in STO. I have 0 rubberbadning in other MMOs I enjoy such as, WoW and SWTOR, which is definitely where most of my gaming time goes .

I've still been logging in daily, for events and endeavors. I don't really have much to say in-game, though.
