Star Trek Online

[skip/dro]

k

but if sto is just a combo of bridge commander. and camelot (a rly good mmo in my opinion) it'll do well

[Picard_delta_5]

i agree... i'lll will be fun...

I'm wondering how they are going to do this game. 

Are there going to be starships?  Or maybe it's going to be like Star Wars Galaxies, where you just take transports to other planets.  Or both/something else. 

It's hard to visualize starships with people logging in and out constantly. 

Might be hard to solo on the Enterprise.    :laugh:

Haha, well they've already stated that Galaxy class ships are going to be like cities, with NPC captains. And Skip, I was just wondering how you think that BC would work in STO? Do you mean like you click on a guy, then tell him what to do, then you rely on him to do it? Cause if so, I agree with you.

Also, the idea of logging in and it is fixed by NPCs who automatically take over your role when you log. So if they stick to what is true to ST, this game will rock.

I have a big question, will i need to pay a monthly fee and what platform is it on?

[Jobydrone]

Yes, it will definitely cost to play, and so far it's only announced on PC.

[Elizur]

I really dislike the monthly pay plan. 

Off topic a bit, I saw that Lord of the Rings Online is offering a lifetime subscription for something like $200.  It's steep....but I've thought about it. 

If WoW would come out with that, or Star Trek Online, well, that I might do.

I am taking a wait and see approach to the Lord of the Rings MMO.  Preliminary reports from the beta test are not good. 

[Darkmolerman]

heh i made a thred and someone moved my tell thing....and if the monthly fee is 14.00 then cya star Trek MMO but if its 14.00 a year HELLO KIRK!

[Picard_delta_5]

it's probably monthly... but im not sure... you should google it...

[Darkmolerman]

ok :)

I played Everquest for years and now World of Warcraft.  Both require a monthly fee (usually they allow you to prepay quarterly or even for up to 6 months in advance to save a couple of dollars).  For me, the hours of fun I get for my $15 a month is very much worth it.  Think of it as the price of two movies out per month.  I definitely get more than 3-4 hours (length of two movies) of entertainment out of these games per month.

The TREK MMO will certainly have to charge a fee.  If the game is good, it would be great fun to create a crew of us from the forums and go off and save the galaxy, etc.  Have to see how it turns out.

I never mind paying a fee for an MMO. 

Most MMO's add new content, and provide a gaming experiance that's worth it to me.

Besides, MMO's keep me from buying 2-3 $50-60 games a month.

15 bucks is way cheaper then that.

[Darkmolerman]

yeah :) since world of warcraft is getting boring I may switch to Star Trek On-line!

[Movie Sean]

Warcraft....boring.......I can't hear this!
