Hello folks,

I’m boldly going somewhere again. Yes my faithful reader, I’ve  reactivated my Star Trek Online account, pulled my finger out, and started levelling with enthusiasm!

If one scrolls down a way, you’ll come across my previous (re)views of STO. An astute reader will also notice that right after my review came the ‘I reactivated wow for Cata’ post.

So now I’m playing both, but for different reasons. Wow is endgame, it’s raiding and teamwork. STO is hooning about the galaxy being nice to people and shooting the grumpy ones.

They seem to have been busy while I was away. It’s more polished, crafting is better and (at the moment) it’s got Q in it! We like Q, he’s random Even ground combat feels better. Bravo!

I’ve discovered the ‘Episodes’ too, quite late to the party I’ll admit, but better late than never. Episodes are story arcs with more plot, more mission design and even some voice acting! The last one has me sneaking around a huuuuge Romulan space station in my Delta Flyer, trying to find what they were up to without bumping into anything my puny ship couldn’t handle. Very clever and well thought out! Each episode is broken down into weekly parts, which apparently have a bonus for doing them during the release. Part 2 of episode 3 is out this weekend, so I’ll there, thwarting Romulans

On the Wow front, logging on is down to raid days only, with the odd evening if something needs doing…I am, after all, Guild quartermaster. Duty sometimes calls. The new endgame is fun, but I’m not feeling like I have anything else to do in the world outside of raids. Ho humm, I’m sure Blizz are busy making me new toys to play with. Until then, I’m on short shifts.

I can’t place whether Wow created the need to play STO, of if STO’s siren call made me play less Wow…and I’m not sure it matters really. Both are their own brand of fun, and I like fun!

Live long and prosper
