Arrgh, we are warriors, arrgh, so there, arrgh, I mean it, arrgh

So, here’s a trailer for the Star Trek MMO coming early next year (y’know, if there aren’t any delays, which never happen to MMO releases anyway, right?) Windows-only at this point, so we Mac folks will have to either dual-boot or forget it and just keep giving our money to Blizzard, who’s been happy to take it for years.

I know that lots of the audience for multiplayer online games want to be the badass characters, so we get the Klingon trailer first. But as usual since TNG, the Klingon narrator sounds less like a proud warrior and more like someone compensating for erectile dysfunction. “Hi. My name’s K’Bob, and I’ve had this terrible inferiority complex since the Dominion War…”

Interesting, by the way, that in a setting placed decades after “Voyager”, the Federation’s still using Constitution-class ships (ones that look like Shatner-Kirk’s Enterprise). When your ship design’s still in use 200 years after the first launch, I’d say you’ve earned your contractor fees.

    You (or anyone else) can sign up for a chance at Closed Beta at http://www.startrekonline.com/
    There’s 3 of us from the ‘burg who are in so far (that I know of), and they’re adding more people every week.

    Nominal current announced timing is (semi*) Open Beta Jan. 12-26, Early Start (for preorders from certain retailers) starting somewhere in the Jan. 27 to 29 range, and Launch Feb. 2. Preorders are available now, with a Standard and a Collector’s Edition, plus some retailers have specific bonuses (Amazon, Gamestop, and Best Buy confirmed so far).

    I’m still under NDA and can’t say anything that’s not publicly available, but there are a whole bunch of recent interviews and some videos floating about, most linked from the main STO homepage under News.

    This one on fleet actions may be particularly interesting, and you may recognize one of the devs presenting it from the days of the B5 game πŸ™‚

    * Open Beta in this case will require a key; beta testers and preorders are guaranteed, plus many of the folks who sign up on the STO website, and probably some giveaways from other sites if they follow the usual pattern. It’s “open” in that the NDA has been lifted, but not entirely a completely open free-for-all. That said, anyone with a serious interest should be able to get in.
