If it is not too dated, you can feel to do the Dr. Evil voice as you read the announcement in your head. Star Trek Online has reached one million registered accounts, an impressive milestone for any game. The announcement follows in the vein of Cryptic announcement that players had created over one million characters in Champions Online, which was also an impressive milestone well, until you started to do the math and ask why they were counting the number of characters created rather than players. There are similar questions to be asked about the latest star trek online gold announcement, if you are the suspicious type. In short, we do not know the criteria that are being used to get the figure being thrown around. One million accounts could refer to open beta and head start accounts, or it could refer to everyone registered on the forums, even if they have long since stopped posting. It is an odd metric to use.
Still, it is a sign of how strong the IP of Star Trek still is after all these years, and as one of the few major launches planned for the year it is bound to attract quite a bit of attention. Congratulations to Cryptic, and here is hoping that those million accounts stick with the game after a few months.
