Beam me up Scotty! Yesterday at PennyArcade they had a comic that illustrated the possible problem that might arise in the upcoming Star Trek MMO with traveling. As with any MMO, developers must decide how easy traveling will be in the game. How early should the player get a mount or vehicle. Will there be teleporters? Quick travel areas? However with Star Trek, none of those things are needed if you can just beam from your ship to anywhere you want.
I’ll admit right now, I’m not a Star Trek fan at all, I’ve probably seen about a dozen episodes of the various series throughout my lifetime and 2-3 of the movies, but one thing I do know is that people can beam pretty much anywhere. So how will this affect gameplay?

Remaking Star Trek From: feedproxy.google.com Post Date: 2008-11-20 11:26:30
Continuing the theme of Hollywood not having any new original ideas, it looks like they are remaking Star Trek. I’ll probably get kicked out of the geek club for this one, but most of what’s come out of the Star Trek genre has been dreck. Well, with one exception. Star Trek II, The Wrath of [...] ... more

According to Starr Long, the whole thing was just a human error: Lord British’s character, like ... more
So, this past weekend some news was let loose basically saying that Activision and Vivendi Universal (owner of Blizzard) were merging together under the new name Activision Blizzard. Yada yada yada, old news right? Well, one of the questions brought to mind by many-a-gamer was “will World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, or Starcraft 2 be brought to consoles now that it is owned by a well known console-loving publisher?” The answer, as it stands right now, is a resounding no.

Today IGN has released its Top 100 Games of All Time for 2007 and it seems that only one MMORPG made the cut. World of Warcraft came in at a dismal 83 and no other MMORPG made the list. No Ultima Online, no Everquest, no GuildWars, no nothing.
This begs one to question whether any of the 30 selected editors were MMORPG players. Surely a genre of gaming that has recently becoming more and more popular would have more than 1 game on a list of 100. Even a nod to Ultima Online, the ... more
