What Kind Of Star Trek MMO Do You Want?
Via Gamecloud, a Nielsen survey on the Star Trek Online site giving some interesting insight into what kind of game people want. From the article: "Another surprise was that the Borg is the most appealing opposing player faction. We knew the Borg would be a popular enemy, but we didn't expect that actually playing as a Borg drone would be so appealing. Though it was a surprise, I think we can understand why they would be a popular player faction. In fact, these results would appear to contradict the overall conclusion that faction value is marginal. One explanation is in the wording of the question. We asked people to select their favorite opposing faction. I can only guess that this wording had the effect of swaying people away from the Federation. Still, this point clearly deserves more research." Interesting to see some thought going into player reaction to development plans.
Do the sysadmins play as the Q?
If you don't know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else.
I'd want the ability to enlist numerous red-shirted, no-named ensigns, who will run up to the action when a fight starts, and gladly sacrifice themselves for the good of the "named" Enterprise crew!
Also just make sure you don't announce a major game overhaul the day after an expansion goes on sale!
And they said zombies weren't real!
I'd do anything for an hour on the holodeck with 7 of 9.
I've hit Karma 50 and gotten a Score:5, Troll... I win!
"Starfleet crew?"
