…To Boldy Go Where No MMO-Player Has Gone Before…

Yes that’s right folks! Its here! Star Trek Online has finally come to the masses. Starting in just under 30 minutes the headstart of the latest MMO from Cryptic begins.

I’ve been playing the open beta for 3 weeks now and I’ve loved every minute. Cryptic has managed to capture the magic that made Star Trek the show/movies special.

The beta was loads of fun – I managed to make myself to Lieutenant Commander 5th grade before they shut down the servers on Wednesday in preparation for the head start. I’ve logged into WoW twice in that time and that was only to chat to a friend for a bit. Warcraft has lost its edge for me as we get closed to Cataclysm – even the draw of being able to finish the Arthas story line was not enough to pull me away from STO.

The site will be changing a little in the coming week or so – I’m going to still write about WoW but I think it’ll be little to none until Cataclysm arrives.

I’m going to update a few of the graphics around the above theme/pictures I took in the beta. More posts will follow my exploits in the Alpha quadrant as I work my way to Admiral and into the end game content.

Here follows some nice screen shots I took from the Beta – coming soon will be more stuff from the live servers.

I hope to see a few of you out there!
