nice update, the game has come along way, still has a long way to go, but like any new mmo, has it's first year growing pains, nothing new in the mmo world, I have seen it time and time again in new mmo's over the last 10 years of play..:)
Have you also seen most new MMOs lose over half their subscribers in a single month too?
Launch month is critical. If the game is ... lacking... word will get out and it won't recover. Doesn't matter how much they improve the game later if it isn't working or fun now, they'll have trouble recovering from the bad PR. AoC is vastly improved from its launch month, but some refuse to play it because of the issues it had initally.
Course, probably didn't help Cryptic's cause that they alienated a lot of trek fans by butchering the lore so badly.

Adding more fluff to a cash shop in a SUBSCRIPTION BASED GAME and hailing it as part of their update. Craptic leaves me dumfounded.
Our spirit was here long before you
Long before us
And long will it be after your pride brings you to your end
