NEWS: Lag Long and Prosper

GEEK: Lag Long and Prosper

If you love StarTrek and online gaming, you might find yourself in the 24th century as soon as 2007.

Attracted by the massive number of subscribers and revenue generated by such games as "Everquest" and "StarWars: Galaxies," San Francisco-based Perpetual Entertainment now has the rights to produce a StarTrek-based MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game).
The game world will be set in the 24th century, focusing on the original series as well as elements from StarTrek: The Next Generation, Deep Space 9, and all the StarTrek movies.

Who wouldn't want to explore strange new worlds and "seek out new life and new civilizations"? This game will be great for those who want to work their way up the ranks and someday find themselves commanding a Starfleet vessel as a fullblown captain. Considering the worldwide StarTrek fanbase, the game looks to be set for a huge success if done well.

and by 2007, i should have a box that would support the game instead of the 5 year old mp3 player i have now.

wow... that should be one hell of a boring MMORPG..

"HEllo there"
"Hi"
"What you doin"
"Nothing, You?"
"Patroling Sector 7 of the gamma complex"
"So In otherword your not doing shit"
"Havent done shit for bout 8 weeks now"
"Oh look! More stars"

imagine all the redshirt noobs

shout I've found the lag
*The lag looks at you, primeval malice glints in it's eyes as it sizes you up
Behead The Lag with Wyrm Sword
*You prepare to behead The Lag with your Wyrm Sword
*You slip on an errant banana skin as you hear a soft ook'ing sound vanishing into the east
*The lag attacks you and savagely wraps fronds of packet death around your throat.
Someone says: MY, WE'VE BEEN A BIT CARELESS, HAVEN'T WE? SHALL WE POPPADOM TO THE NEXT DIMENSION?
You turn and see Death standing behind you.

Wow! Now there is a reason for Trekkies to go online!

Yes, but I'm at Perpetual, and we're going to make sure it's not a boring turd of a game. You won't be patrolling, I can assure you... or killing rats to get your stats up

Edited to add: I am not the designer or an official spokesman for the game, just speaking to the fact that our company kicks ass

Excellent. I can't wait to meet the Borg.

Will there be Tribbles?

Somewhere, a 35 year old guy living in his mother's basement is wondering whether to save for this game or spend his allowance on 2 of the Playboys with the naked video game girls(one in the original wrapping to keep it 'mint,' and one for 'research').

so very true.

actually, I think he sent an e-mail to us already. we've gotten about 30 that all said, "Hi, I just wanted to tell you that I've been waiting my ENTIRE LIFE for this game." Usually that's all they wanted to tell us.

I'm scared.

Oh, and we'll at least have tribbles as an easter egg I'm sure

WOOOOOOO!!

After that guy thinks about that for about 2 minutes, he'll notice his penis twitch... The advent of of this will stir up emotions that he never new he had!

His "girlfriend in Canada" will be so excited!

Dude, she totally looks like Buffy.

OHMYGOOOOD.

Hahaha. Joygasm, anyone?

I was totally discussing with my boyfriend the other day on how awesome a Star Trek MMORPG would be. :B

That would make it pretty much the first Star Trek game that didn't suck ass.

I wonder if you can be someone from the Q continium, hmm i'm bored now *warps a random starship full of noobs into a klingon hazing party*
