Lots of people play only one avatar in an mmo that allows alts. I am one of them (except for bank mules)
I prefer an mmo without alts but the game should have mechanics that would allow me more freedom than most games now have with the class syste…
I agree with the review. I think 100% of the players and ex-players agree that ground combat is a lot less fun than space combat. I have this to add:
1. As I was looking for a nice online, single player experience, the instances did not bother me…
Good lord, I thank my lucky stars I bought my preOrder for this game from Amazon, which made it very easy for me to cancel before the OB was over. So very glad I didn't spend money on this game!
I've had housing in SWG, Vanguard, Anarchy Online, and LoTRO, Age of Conan (guild fort) and haha, yes, even Wizard101. Of all those games, SWG housing felt the most immersive (along with the factories, harvesters, etc). To cite some examples, on Tem…
I agree that a skills-based game that uses just one avatar should not employ respecs, at least not to the extent that you swap one set of skills for another. I am sure many of you remember the PreCU SWG system. You dropped skills to gain skill point…
The answer for me is YES. I've only played one mmo without alts, preCU SWG and I felt much more a part of that gaming world. I built strong relationships with online friends because they became very real to me. In current mmos (WOW, LoTRO), I freque…
STO was my first Cryptic game, so thanks to you guys for all the background on their other games. Like others, I canceled my preorder when beta ended. I actually WOULD be willing to pay a sub for a single-player (oriented), instanced, online RPG gam…

I'm in agreement with ya guys. It is pretty sick what is happening with gaming now days. We have MMORPGs to thank for it really, the idea that you can release a game and make big bucks off the initial sales, and …

The thing is, people need to find these things out on their own. I knew pretty quickly that the game wasn't for me, but I thought it might appeal to a lot of people who value dif…

While I think the first paragraph of insults to slights you haven't even seen yet I don't begrudge you your opinion, I could have posted similar commentary about a few games myself but STO for me is not one of them…

Id like to thank the original poster for posting this and the subsequent posters for their input. I was all set for buying this game but having read the criticism and by the looks of it there more criticism than praise …
Oh, I forgot to mention, you complete missions by fighting. If you wanted to play Jean Luc Piccard and use diplomacy, you will not. There are some limited dialogs to the ground missions, but it doesn't matter what you say, your selections are really…

Its hard for me to gather information from a rant.
PvP is meaningless how?
Is there no reward for winning? You stated there is no risk, that is a big problem.
Skills are meaningless how? You dont see them affect …
