Star Trek Online Team Shares Moving Message About the Love of the Franchise for a Father & Son - MMORPG.com
The Star Trek Online team has shared a post from an individual named Nick Gasper who wrote about his father's and his love of the Star Trek franchise. The "rant" (according to the writer) begins with how much his dad loved Star Trek and raised his son to believe the same. "Sit down, this is important," Nick's dad would say. By sharing those moments through the years of their lives together, they created a bond that has lasted even after the passing of Nick's dad several years ago.

I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil
I could see someone actually thinking that. The one thing that Star Trek never did (except movies) is always be at battle. They had plenty of "oops, did I just hit that button?" talking about a button that is labeled immediate disaster for at least one person if not more. Some of the ones without fighting were the silliest but also the ones that I generally laughed the most at.

A couple problems though,games are NOT the original idea,they are copy cat ideas to cash in on someone else's hard work to make the IP's popular.The second problem is i cannot think of a single popular IP where the game was done well.SWTOR would be the closest and that is a rather generic simple design.
When Star Trek game came out,i was full of anticipation,couldn't wait to see what they did with the game...all down hill from the first minute onward.Not only did i logout after one hour i felt extremely pissed they would put that lack of effort into such a popular franchise and the license owner let them away with it.
Other than that,sure seems like a new marketing ploy with so many devs telling us how their games are seemingly making life great for everyone.How about NO ,your games are doing nothing for real life situations,this is yet again trying to cash in on someone else only in these recent postings,trying to cash in like charities,on people's hard times.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Whats funny is over the weekend i started watching TNG again from start to finish. Although the original series is where I fell in love with star trek. Setting an alarm in my room to watch at 2am every night on syndication.
I look forward to doing exactly as this dad did with my kids as well.
