Today is a big for Star Trek Online with the release of the Legacy of Romulus expansion. We managed to catch up to Daniel Stahl to talk more about LoR and it's an interview you won't want to miss. Check it out before heading to the comments to weigh in on the discussion.
MMORPG.com: How will the expansion affect the Foundry, if at all?
Daniel Stahl: This update has very little impact on the Foundry other than it opens the door for future updates where Foundry authors will be able to create mission designed exclusively for Romulan characters. We will be updating the Foundry later this year with this ability along with other Romulan assets.

I'm glad I gave this game another try and I'm very excited for the update today.
And LotRO's Spring festival just started today as well... tough one, but I think I'll choose the galaxy this time...
if only I could beam down my away team into Middle-earth while I'm travelling through the Quadrants...
Fire on all enemy ships. One photon each should do. Let's not waste ammunition.
With humor aside..
Star Trek has changed for me since it was released, there are more things to do and the game is what you make it to be. You can definitely RP in this game if that's what you like to do as well as treat the game like a faction grind to get better gear in the end if you wish.
Doing the in game episodes 1st or the 2nd is fun for me, however I find myself playing player foundrys more amusing.
I personally play the game for the immersion it brings to me as a Star Trek fan. The day I start treating this game like a WoW in space will be the last thing I do. I am in no rush to get end game weps or gear. However ships are what I seem to crave and that can be costly.
What clarification would you need that has not already been addressed. I seen it as pretty dry cut, like wows pandarens romulans will eventually have to pick to ally themselves with the kdf or fed.
Its also not rocket science that a 2 faction game, which a huge population difference between the two factions would go this route. I imagine they prolly would have perfered to have the romulans just straight up became apart of the kdf. But the outcry would have been to much. So we have a compromise.
From the games lore perspective this is not the romulan star empire because that is gone, destroyed. In their current state the romulans cannot stand on their own against either the KDF or UFP. It took a federation fleet and a full scale war with the gorn to keep the KDF from conquering the romulans.
I still remember myself telling my friends I was going to play a Romulan in the next Star Trek Online a few years go. Now, I can finally create it. It's been a while.
Sorry, but what empire? The one that's divided and scattered throughout the galaxy?
(in-game I mean, and with the remark that I too like the original canon better)
This game has pretty much earned the biggest comeback in MMO history I think considering the last 3 years.
Having played the last few hours on the live server it's a beast of an update, the game feels like it's got a solid foundation, the romulan artwork and environments are fantastic and graphically the game is on par with any game out today.

I'm a longtime fan and supporter of STO, I've been around since day one and stuck with is for the last three years. I know what people mean when they say that the game at launch was a shell of what it is now. I'm proud of what Cryptic has done with the game and happy to have been their for the majority of the games post-development development :P . I've been playing MMOs since EQ1 and UO and never stuck to one like I have with STO.
As a long time STO player I will gladly announce to anyone that this is the time to give it a try even if you crossed it off two or three years ago. STO of 2013 is nothing like STO of 2010.
Well said. And since it's written by a planet of an another IP with "Star", it means even more
I don’t like the look of the D’Deridex class warbird. If the nacelles had swooped down on their own and there wasn’t the additional connecting member it would have been ok. Next is the size of the command module / bridge or as I think of it “head” of the warbird. It is too large, and looks ridiculous. The Mogai and Dhelan look fine, they both have down swept wings and a proportionate head for a bird of prey.

As if it could exist, without being payed for.
F2P means you get what you paid for. Pay nothing, get nothing.
Even telemarketers wouldn't think that.
It costs money to play. Therefore P2W.
This game has advanced by leaps and bounds since launch, with LoR being the largest single improvement to the game yet.
In addition to the inclusion of the Romulans, I really like a lot of the other changes, like the UI and character traits.
This game is so much better than it was at launch - it's almost like a completely different game.
Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.
This new expansion is such a pleasant surprise. Really impressed.
I would log in every day just to play that mini game for refining delithium. So much fun.
Maybe I was distracted by my new KDF (my first Orion... lol) but dilly refining mini game? Where's that?
If you ment the dilly mining on the asteroid, that's in game more than a year now
and yep, it's fun. Except when the RNG decides you won't reach 735 no matter how great miner you are...

Yes that is what i am talking about. I quit 2 months after release due to the state of the game. I just started playing it again on release of new expansion. So all of this pretty much new to me.
I am in love with my Romulan. Amazing stuff.
