UPDATE – the sale is over. Star Trek Online is now priced at $39 (still $10 off retail).
It’s bad enough that I got hooked on World of Warcraft. Now I see Amazon is selling the new Star Trek: Online MMO for a ridiculous 45% off – $28instead of $50.
Man, though, it looks cool. I haven’t seen a decent space combat sim since the X-Wing days. And they are integrating it into the timeline of the original series/movies and the reboot. The Klingons are at war with the Feds again, the Romulans are creeping around, there’s the Borg and even Species 8472. No mention of Section 31, though, unfortunately…
I’ve been playing STO since Open Beta, and without giving too much away, I will say that Section 31 has appeared in game. I am not max level yet, so I haven’t seen all the missions in the game. I assume, since they have been introduced already, that they will play a role in future missions as well.
There are some storefronts on Amazon that still have the lower price.
