I haven't been in the game for the past year or two but it seems they have 
made great strides in making it better.  I like the new seasons that have  
been released. It looks like they have finally put in more non-canon  
material (in addition to some canon stuff).  I'll have to try it out.   However, 
I'm far behind, not having reached even Level 20 yet.  Perhaps in the  
weeks ahead & I'll make more effort. 
 
Are they still releasing new "Episodes"?  Or has that died off?  Anybody 
know? 

They are releasing a new season in may with tons of story content

@Lind_L_Taylor: It's definitely been improving, as much as a F2P business model shift can. But the increase in staff is the only way to solve the kind of issues that lingered under "Atari". Plenty more season releases in the hopper.

I played STO for a little bit in December but advancing in level was incredibly slow & it seemed all of the episodes were at very high levels. Some other shit came up & I had to put it away. Makes you wonder who has the time for MMOs.
