Set phasers to trouble for Star Trek Online
Category: PC, Posted: 01/18/2008 at 07:22PM CST by Billy Wang, Previews Editor
Progress seemed to be coming along nicely for Star Trek Online; despite being still a bit early in the game's development, we got to feast our eyes on a screenshot back in early December.
But all is not well; it began with rumors at the beginning of the week from WarCry stating that Star Trek Online developer P2 Entertainment (formerly known as Perpetual Entertainment) has stopped development on the MMORPG.
Later in the week, it was confirmed that P2 shut down Star Trek Online but are shopping around for a replacement developer. One rumored developer that is interested is MMORPG City of Heroes developer Cryptic Studios.
Early indications of a struggling developer came back in October when P2 put an in-development MMORPG, Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising, on indefinite hold in order to cover costs and focus development on Star Trek Online.

This has been a disaster from the start. I can't see this product ever coming to market, especially with the sickening saturation of MMOs.
I would love to play this game just once so i could ask all of the hardcore serious Trekkies in the game "Do i get to use the force yet?" lol, then i can get banned, lol, jk. I can't see this being fun at all because it the hardcore fans will be way too seroius.
