Every attendee will be able to make themselves look like any of your favorite ST species, Borg, Klingon, Vulcan, Terran, Ferengi, etc etc. The servers for the event are supposed to be able to handle up to 100,000 users, which would mean a rather large convention, let's just hope it doesn't suffer the same fate as Final Fantasy. With full 3D conventions here now, can a holodeck really be that far off?"

    Are any of the "real" characters going to be there virtually? And, if so, how does one know whether one is chatting up the real Beverley or an imposter?
