What happened to Star Trek Online?
Star Trek Online seems to have died and been reborn. It was first developed by Perpetual Entertainment. However, as has happened recently with many other software developers they could not stay afloat and were purchased. At that time the game was shifted to a more "casual approach" including the dreaded free to play approach. This style, while popular in Asia, seems to only be a last ditch approach in US MMO's to stave off bankruptcy (See Archlord.) In free to play, gamers don't have to pay a monthly fee as in say WoW or Everquest. Instead, they play for free and then have the ability to pWhat happened to Star Trek Online? A very promising MMO that has been in development for a very long tiurchase in game items from a company store. This usually has the effect of unbalancing the game, as any advantage in the game naturally progresses from skill based to who has spent the most money buying items. However, there is now some hope. In January the title was transferred to "Another Bay Area Development Company" according to Perpetual Entertainment. As shown in the quote below from Wikipedia, that company appears to be Cryptic Studios, makers of the popular MMO's City of Heroes and City of Villans. This would be a very fortunate turn of events and means that perhaps Star Trek Online does indeed have a bright future ahead. We can only hope. "In early March 2008 the official Star Trek Online website posted a notice of 'coming soon', implying that the domain had been transferred to a new company and the game was once again under development. On 13 March, Star Trek news site TrekMovie.com reported having confirmed with "sources" that the new developer is Cryptic Studios, as had been the rumor for several weeks.[5]" -- Wikipedia Article "Star Trek Online" If you would like to brush up on your Star Trek again, you can purchase Star Trek DVD's for all the series from www.startrekdvd.info.
