(3:06:28 PM) Steve: you know star trek online is gonna be released soon, don'tcha?
(3:06:45 PM) gauzzastrip: yeah
(3:08:22 PM) Steve: yeah, i'm really really excited about it!
(3:08:27 PM) gauzzastrip: from the trailers I've seen it kind of looks like some of it is kind of like eve online
(3:08:35 PM) Steve: they've already got guilds galore
(3:08:39 PM) gauzzastrip: lol
(3:08:51 PM) Steve: oh, it'll be a bit different than eve (i hope)
(3:08:56 PM) Steve: i hated eve, lol
(3:09:07 PM) gauzzastrip: eve online has a high learning curve
(3:09:35 PM) Steve: well, the respawn will be similar to wow's - time and durability and all that
(3:09:44 PM) gauzzastrip: oh?
(3:09:47 PM) Steve: thank god somebody at cryptic's got a brain
(3:10:02 PM) gauzzastrip: yeah
(3:10:10 PM) gauzzastrip: I would like to try it, but I'm not sure if I want to invest into it
(3:10:15 PM) gauzzastrip: I'm still awaiting the star wars mmo
(3:10:29 PM) Steve: the old republic?
(3:10:35 PM) Steve: if it ever comes out
(3:10:46 PM) gauzzastrip: yeah lol
(3:11:01 PM) gauzzastrip: ff xiv looks pretty awesome too
(3:11:10 PM) gauzzastrip: from the trailers I've seen of that, it's the most fluid mmo I've ever seen
(3:11:17 PM) Steve: i've never tried ff b4
(3:11:24 PM) Steve: i heard it's pretty grindy
(3:12:19 PM) gauzzastrip: ff 11 I think was
(3:12:35 PM) gauzzastrip: but who knows what the new one will bring
(3:12:43 PM) gauzzastrip: you play warhammer?
(3:12:48 PM) Steve: oh yeah
(3:12:50 PM) gauzzastrip: I started an account because its kind of free now
(3:12:56 PM) gauzzastrip: well free with restrictions
(3:12:57 PM) Steve: it's great!
(3:13:14 PM) Steve: what's the free part? just going up to rank 11?
(3:13:22 PM) gauzzastrip: I like the world group instance type things
(3:13:28 PM) gauzzastrip: I think it's unlimited level
(3:13:39 PM) Steve: they have rvr aka pvp "lakes" or areas
(3:13:50 PM) Steve: some servers are world pvp, though
(3:14:07 PM) Steve: and the lore of it runs so much deeper than wow's
(3:14:22 PM) Steve: in fact, the core of the wow team came from warhammer
(3:15:24 PM) gauzzastrip: the 1 thing I don't like
(3:15:27 PM) gauzzastrip: is the graphics of the game
(3:15:31 PM) gauzzastrip: for a game that came out a year ago
(3:15:39 PM) gauzzastrip: some of the mob animations are pretty terrible
(3:15:45 PM) Steve: what are your settings on?
(3:56:08 PM) Steve: some of the ingame footage of sto is just simply amazing
(3:56:28 PM) gauzzastrip: oh yeah?
(3:56:47 PM) Steve: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xShuXnyNUEI&feature=related
(4:01:10 PM) Steve: the borg will be like "hard mode" raid quality events
(4:01:20 PM) gauzzastrip: oh yeah?
(4:01:40 PM) Steve: well, you gotta admit the borg are boss, lol
(4:02:35 PM) gauzzastrip: lol
(4:02:59 PM) gauzzastrip: what about the Q
(4:03:23 PM) Steve: don't know
(4:03:48 PM) Steve: but then again, you can't expect a game that just came out to be as polished and developed as a game that's 5 years old
(4:04:00 PM) gauzzastrip: yeah
(4:04:05 PM) Steve: the whole sto concept DEMANDS expacs, though
(4:04:26 PM) Steve: a whole universe is the playground
(4:04:36 PM) gauzzastrip: yeah
(4:15:42 PM) Steve: they even have a guild based on the Terran Empire from the "Mirror Mirror" episode of TOS :)
(4:15:50 PM) gauzzastrip: lol
(4:16:29 PM) gauzzastrip: that's nuts
(4:16:41 PM) Steve: ISS Enterprise "Imperial Star Ship"? omg!
(3:15:57 PM) Steve: but the animations, yeah, they could be a bit better
(3:16:13 PM) Steve: but you have to visit all the areas to really appreciate what's going on
(3:16:22 PM) Steve: the elves have the most colorful areas
(3:18:26 PM) Steve: the pvp is waaay better than wow's, though
(3:19:53 PM) gauzzastrip: the highest
(3:20:23 PM) Steve: have you done any of their scenarios (aka bg's) yet?
(3:20:50 PM) Steve: WAR is the only game that got me to actually enjoy pvp, lol
(3:21:04 PM) gauzzastrip: I think I only got to lvl 6 or so
(3:21:12 PM) gauzzastrip: and then I got busy again in RL
(3:21:45 PM) Steve: yeah, it happens
(3:21:59 PM) Steve: i've found that i can only concentrate on 2 mmo's at the most
(3:22:11 PM) Steve: you have to really like them to put all the time into them
(3:22:21 PM) gauzzastrip: yeah
(3:22:38 PM) Steve: but mmo's are my kind of game
(3:22:43 PM) gauzzastrip: steam is having sales all this weekend
