now the question is....now that we know they have it, are they just continuing the fiasco PE started or are they actually going to rebuild gameplay to something that's feasible nd enjoyable and what thefans deserve? with the introduction of a former SOE person as CEO, i'm going to say the floppy WoW clone version until i start seeing radical changes fro what PE was trying to shove down our throughts.

With my newly acquired cynicism, I assume that they are keeping quiet so the original fans don't tell them we are all bored of WOW, that no one can beat WOW (it does what it does extremely well, but we don't need more than one), and that we actually want something that feels like Star Trek and not just raping the IP.  It always concerns me when a developer doesn't appear to engage a community.

Mortal Online, Exanimus, Fallen Earth (*) - all original, and all I wish the best of fortunes to.  The 'censored' that PE came up with ... oh please say they have moved on from that mind set.  Not that I have much hope, I enjoy the COH/V games for a week but soon got bored.
Fingers crossed.

* ... whether they get released is another thing, but since they don't have the visual appearance of playdo, I do hope they'll see release.

i would like to say that PE's STO did sound pretty darn good actually during the days of Glen and Co but soon as they gone that is when it went downhill

I did not want to jump to consclusions after CBS did a big post on new Star Trek products coming out.  Nothing about games was mentioned...but this pretty much lets us know for sure.

O.k. I will start looking to make contacts and get some interviews going!

Ummm guys, before you all go shouting in the streets and praising Cryptic, you should BEWARE what you call "concrete evidece".

After all, just because an image was used for one thing, doesn't mean a different company wouldn't use it for something else...

Kinda like this...

Yeah it is going to initially be hard not to get too excited after the last several years and 'the great let down'.
