We just wanted to update you on our in-game server capacity status. Throughout Head Start we noticed the overwhelming response to the game and we are working on changes to further increase the number of people who can play Star Trek Online at any given time. Our current plan is to have these changes in place sometime this coming weekend. We will, of course, keep you updated on progress as it happens.
Really, we just want to thank you all again for your continued support and patience. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be here.
Namco Bandai Partners to attempt Star Trek themed Guinness World Record on Millenium Bridge on February 14th at 1.00pm
Namco Bandai Partners, the Distributor of Star Trek Online, in association with Atari, will attempt to set a world record for the 'largest gathering of people dressed as Star Trek characters' on February 14th at 1.00pm on London's Millenium Bridge to help celebrate the arrival of brand new MMO, Star Trek Online.
Star Trek fans are invited to attend dressed as anything Star Trek related, from an 'Andorian Ensign' to a 'Zakdorn strategist,' and adjudicators from Guinness World Records will be present to log the record attempt and ensure that everyone present is dressed in full Star Trek attire.
The best dressed fans on the day will win exclusive Star Trek Online prizes including lifetime subscriptions worth over 150 and recently released digital version of the Star Trek movie.
"This should be an absolutely fantastic fun filled day and definitely one all fans of Star Trek should get involved in," said Lee Kirton, Head of UK PR Namco Bandai Partners. "This is the chance to become part of history with a 'World Record' for the largest group of dressed up Star Trek characters in one place. Namco Bandai will also have a bunch of fantastic prizes up for grabs on the day for the best dressed 'Trekkers' and some prizes for just being part of the day should make it a trip worthwhile!"
Gaz Deaves, Gaming Editor of Guinness World Records 2010 Gamer's Edition, said: "Star Trek has such a huge following around the world, and its legion of fans deservedly has a reputation as one of the most committed groups in Sci-Fi fandom. It will be a great honour to adjudicate the first official world record attempt of this kind."

Already, over 1 million Star Trek fans have created accounts at the official websites.
Taking place in the year 2409, Star Trek Online boasts extraordinary features and lets fans both new and old experience unparalleled adventures.

Thank you all so very much for making this entire Beta experience as awesome as it has been.
I could look back and reminisce about the downtimes. I could wax nostalgic about the patches. I could even recall every exploit with distaste and still fondly remember the awesome emergent gameplay you've shown us... And yet, all that implies an end. Sure, the test is over. But, in reality, this is only the beginning.
We've been working without rest for nearly two years to reach this moment -- the moment when we can begin expanding Star Trek Online in earnest. The years ahead when we get to work directly with you to figure out what we add next to the game, where we fill out content, and what new systems we might add. That's real development. That's live development.
Not a team to just sit back and wait, we're already working on content additions, bug fixes and 'quality of life' improvements that we?re going to roll out over the next couple months. Here are a few of the things we're working on:
The Borg
The Borg have planned. They have adapted. They have evolved. What the Borg cannot assimilate, they will destroy.
You saw a little Borg action in our End of Beta event - prepare to see more. The Federation have tracked down the Borg staging ground for their assault on the Alpha Quadrant. Join up with Battle Group Omega and take the fight to the Borg. Experience new Federation Episodes, Borg Exploration Clusters, deep space encounters. Also expect daily missions for these tasks to maximize the rewards you'll be getting for helping out Starfleet in the Gamma Orionis Sector.
"Raid-i-sodes"
These are the high-end episodes you?ve been waiting for. Locked to 5-players, you'll need every trick and every bit of teamwork to complete these challenges.
A Borg raid-i-sode series culminating in an encounter with the Borg queen is on its way. Expect a couple other "loose ends" to be addressed in the future, as well.
Available for both Klingon Generals and Starfleet Admirals, we'll be releasing a new one of these every few weeks for the next three months.
We had the great pleasure to have MarkeeDragon (Marcus Eikenberry) as special guest for this edition of the podcast. We made this a special feature talking especially about Star Trek Online and MMO's in general. Thanks again to Marcus for joining us and talking about your passion for Star Trek, your insight into the MMO world and raising a couple good issues in the MMO market. If you play MMO's you will like the special insight Marcus has into what is happening in the industry you will also discover that he LOVES StarTrek
Red alert! Check your photon torpedo count, make sure your phaser banks are full and keep transporter room two warmed up... The Final Frontier's first online Open Beta Test will remain operational until Tuesday, January 26 at 6:00 p.m. Pacific.
We've experienced such an incredible response to our Open Beta Test that we've decided to extend the play time by a full day as a thank you to our fans. If you haven't yet had an opportunity to check it out, come give us a look. We've made impressive changes, improvements and additions to Star Trek Online and the infrastructure that maintains it over the past two weeks of Open Beta. We would love for you to experience it all before we engage at maximum warp and officially launch on February 2, 2010.
Of course, these extended Open Beta Test times will not impact the planned Head Start for our supportive pre-order customers.
