Jack Emmert, Cryptic Chief Creative Officer, spoke with the AP about the upcoming Star Terk Online, now that the game has been pushed into the forefront by the developer. Players will start the game as a captain of a small Starfleet or Klingon Empire ship. Players can then customize their characters based on known, existing races, or can even create entirely new races. Sounds promising!

Cryptic will be unveiling the new ST Online game at the ST Convention in Las Vegas. On top of this, they have apparently gotten Nimoy himself to present the new title. It is not clear if Nimoy will play any other part in the game's creation. The ST Convention kicked off yesterday, so head on over to the official site for more info.

Hey folks, long time no post. Well, we are back now, things are getting sorted, and the site will post a few news itmes here and there until it is back in full swing. If you anyone would like to help with posting or writing, feel free to email me at dm@mmoreports.com.

PRESS RELEASE

Los Gatos, CA – July 28, 2008 – Cryptic Studios™, a leading independent developer and publisher of massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), announced today that it has secured the global rights to develop and publish Star Trek® Online, a massively multiplayer online game based on the legendary Star Trek franchise, from CBS Consumer Products.

Cryptic Studios looks like it is all set to unveil its own Star Trek MMO on July 27, 2008. This is more than likely where there is a countdown clock on the official website. The title was originally going to be done by Perpetual, but it folded in January, when the entire team was laid off. In March, rumors began to circulate that the title was picked up by Cryptic, and now it seems the rumors may be true. Stay tuned!
