Star Trek online went in to closed beta October 22 2009. You can still sign up for it on their official webpage Star Trek Online.
This MMO will be a pay to play ( but they have not decided on a pricing plan yet according to their game FAQ page ), and is set to be released on 2nd February 2010 in North America. You can already pre-order the game on sites such as Amazon, or GameStop.
What can we expect from this mmo?
- You will be able to be the captain of your own ship
- You will be able to have careers such as Engineer, Tactical Officer, Doctor, Science Officer, etc. On top of being a captain ( which happens automatically when you take possession of a ship.)
- There will be team missions, events, and space battles
- There will be pvp, but no separate servers with their own pvp rule set, instead there will be pvp type areas / zones.
- Playable races will include Human, Vulcan, Andorian, Klingon, Orion, Gorn, and a few others that were not listed. A major draw, will be creating your own character race with customizable appearance and attributes, and I have no doubt about that.
There is much more that could be listed, and to view that list, read for yourself at the official Star Trek Online Faq page. Where in fact I gathered all this information.
The makers of Star Trek Online; Cryptic an independent developer of massively multiplayer online games, who brought titles such as (present) Champions Online, (past) City of Heroes, and City of Villans…are Initiating development on several new projects according to the “In Development” page…They wont say what, but They do have a nice slide show of concept artwork that lets the mind wander ( just as they suggest ).
Cryptic Recieved the rights to Star Trek Online which previously belonged another game company called P2 Entertainment who had to return the licence ( back in 2008) . Thankfully, another developer was able to pick it up, and bring continue to bring Star Trek Online to Fruition.
This is one game to look forward too! Keep up to date on this MMO at the Official Website. There you ask Cryptic any questions, view up to date news, and even view Dev Chats.
