Star Trek Online is now online, with early start players flooding the game in order to get a leg up on the Starfleet captains waiting until launch day.
Ensign Qbert Qix of the U.S.S. Kotaku, reporting for duty. Donāt worry, the name will change as I play, I was just at a loss for what to call my new pink and yellow alien, colored to match our website. Heās a tactical officer, and heās also in the middle of the tutorial at the moment, so he has no ship of his own. Wonāt be long now.
Iām introducing him because heāll play a big part in our review coverage for Star Trek Online, the game weāve chosen to test out a new review system. Starting Monday, Iāll be posting four weekly logs of my game time, letting you folks know what Iāve experienced and how much Iāve played. That way, once the review goes up at the end of the fourth week, youāll have a pretty good idea of how Iāve spent my time, which should help add or subtract weight to the final verdict.
Things are a bit rocky right now in game, with the on-foot portions of the tutorial chugging and the in-space portions floating along rather smoothly.
Check back Monday for the first Star Trek Online MMO journal.
