Star Trek Online back from the dead.
You may have heard STO had been cancelled a while back. Well it's back. It's now being developed by Cryptic who are the developers of City Of Heroes, Villains and Champions Online. There's going to be ground, space and shipboard gameplay and apparently "player-generated content". What do you guys think of this?

Re: Star Trek Online back from the dead.
Good news. Bit wary of Cryptic though. They're bad at making content for MMO's and good at making combat engines.

Re: Star Trek Online back from the dead.
How cool is this to actually have your own starships. Too bad you can only have 2 races though. I can just imagine the possibilities.

Re: Star Trek Online back from the dead.
Well the whole design of City of Heroes was that you didn't have items, money or possessions so they kind of shot themselves in the foot with that one. It's hard to generate content for a game that doesn't have items.
But it looks like they learned from it. Their new superhero mmorpg Champions online will have items and equipments. It's the mmorpg I'm most looking forward to this year,

Re: Star Trek Online back from the dead.
Yes, it was Marvel Online at one point IIRC. I was more looking forward to a Marvel MMO
 Champions looks like a bit of a CoH ripoff from the screens, still, I am optimistic. The whole "gamepad" thing has me worried about it being dumbed down though.

Re: Star Trek Online back from the dead.
 Even the logo looks like the Marvel logo they use, it just says Champions instead, lol.

Re: Star Trek Online back from the dead.
Interesting. Despite Marvel having a special place in my heart, I may try it when it arrives.

Re: Star Trek Online back from the dead.
They just had a webcast and released a gameplay trailer for Star Trek online - this may be the MMO that I've been looking for, given the hyping of exploration as a game mechanic. While I enjoyed Eve Online, I couldn't really get into it enough. I'm thinking the Star Trek universe coupled with interesting non-combat missions could make for a great game. It all depends on how they implement the non-combat aspects, I guess. Anyone else now monitoring this?
