Sounds like a super realistic real-life simulator to me. Like Sims but "better".

A while back I was playing DW/ROTS, Star Ruler, SoaSE/Ent and GalCiv/DA at the same time. Don't ask me why, but they were all good in their own way. I do have a favorite, though

Not much going on right now is there? I've still got a lot to do, I'm only a Captain (see website in sig).

They'd better start making it more Trek and they'd better do a good job with the Romulan faction or I'm out for good. I think alot of others will do the same and probably turn to The Old Republic.

I tried the free scare away for star trek online, and was never tempted to pay anything (nor play much time in the free scare away). It felt so utterly cheap. Not being a trekkie helped.

The latest old republic movies and info really made me impatient for that one, after me having been able to keep a rather distant "lets see how it turns out" stance so far. Not being a star wars nut, but rather a bioware fan helped in keeping some distance. For a while

I've only been playing STO for a couple of months and it's apparantly changed alot since its release over a year ago. Definately, the early game content was poor and like all MMO's your abilities are very limited, for example, your ship's tractor beam won't even work until you've got a crew member with the skill to use it.

However, the weekly episodes have been far above par, only a few comic book villains have brought them down. The stories and gameplay have all felt really good and it's like playing an episode of Star Trek every week. It might not be on the tellly, but it's on STO! Sounds like an advertising slogan!

They're also working on some interesting ideas, like a duty roster for your crew and a Mass Effect style ground combat system as an alternative to the current MMO standard select and hit the fire/abilities buttons.

I only play one game at a time. Several reasons for this really. Time constraints, juggling work and various leisure activities... No time for gaming sometimes. Playing Dragon Age 2 now. Will get to DW again once DA2 game is done and the latest patch is out. Besides, even if I had the time, I wouldn't be playing several games at the same time. Breaks my thoughts and I loose the immersion/interest factor.

However, one thing is certain... No matter what games I leave DW for, I always come back to it. Nothing beats space strategy games. Nothing. Not even a Canadian & US tax forms game.
