It’s been a interesting week in STO. The forum transition to the new Vanilla forums has been extended until weeks end. The messaging is a little misleading, with the system offering to sign you in using your ARC credentials, only to kick you out shortly thereafter. For the average user this experience is less than optimal as the link to find out more information nearly matches the background color.
One other issue with the transition to ARC managing the users in the forum – how will this impact players who still play the game, but are banned within the forum itself?
In addition to the ‘silence of the forums’ the company’s trusty ‘DevTracker’ account has been temporarily silenced during the transition. No details as to when this will be restored.
Dev Tracking via this Account is OFFLINE while the forums are being redone. No ETA for service restoration @trekonlinegame @NeverwinterGame
