Dilithium Tracking 8/1/13

Another quiet week of numbers, it seems. Massively has been doing a nice bit of interviews with Dan Stahl (part one and two), which has some nice food for thought about the future. I've been working a little on my Romulan character, getting Lockboxes opened up for Lobi, and all has been pretty nice, really.

Now, that said, the number seem pretty good to me.

Relatively flat, yes, but the numbers are pretty high as well. The Z:D ratio is relatively good, still above the 1:100 mark (which is my preference). There's a good number of offers to buy Zen right now, and its been high for a while. Offers to buy Dilithium? Not bad from the looks of things.

I do wonder how the Exchange rates affects the desire to buy Dilithium, though. Its peaks and valleys seem higher in general than when I first started tracking, but then there was a new season coming out, a number of exploits unfixed and risk/time:rewards that the devs wanted to tweak, etc. There is more reason to buy now, I think, but there's not really a direct correlation between the rate and the number of offers going up that I can figure out.

[STO] PVP as War, PVP as Sport.

In the middle of last year, I read a little on a thread about "Combat as Sport versus Combat as War." It was referencing a very long opinion post for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (currently in development). Intriguing as it was, though, is was concerning a tabletop role-playing game. Could it offer anything worth noting about Star Trek Online's PVP? I think so.

[STO] Dilithium Tracker 5/9/13

Won't be long until The Legacy of Romulus is upon us. Moreover, Star Trek: Into Darkness is staring down upon us. All in all, I'd say its great month for Star Trek fans. In the meantime, Star Trek Online is continuing on, the economy is still going along, and Neverwinter (now in open beta) is showing a brand new economy as it tries to find its legs.

[STO] Master Keys without spending a dime.

Cryptic/PWE just unveiled the latest lockbox for Star Trek Online: the Temporal Lock Box . Its time-travel themed, with all sorts of neat ships, consoles, etc., both to be won on random chance and via Lobi. You should really take a look - they're very cool looking . Now, given that Master Keys cost $1.25 each (well, less if you buy 10-packs), you might be hesitant to go after them. You might also be leery of the whole lockbox scheme. And, that's understandable. Goodness knows Pavlovian responses aren't limited to just dogs! So, how to play without paying...?
