Morgan is a known MMO fiend, but you might not have known that she's totally into Trek. That's why X-Play sent her on an away mission to Cryptic Studios to check out Star Trek Online

. Here's what she had to say about her hands-on time with the game:
"The ground combat is pretty fast-paced. You have a variety of weapons depending on class and preference, and some special and secondary attacks if the right opportunity presents itself and your enemy is open. Your bridge officers happily fight alongside you, blasting away at the Klingon scum (or Federation scum, if you're a Klingophile). If you are familiar with MMOs, you can think of your AI bridge officers as being similar to pets in other games. They help you on your battles and give you advantages both on and off the ship. Your crew is so important that Star Trek Online is mostly based around 5-man instances."

Andrew continues the magic with YET another post (two in a row!! OMGZ) about something other than... THAT! This is awesome. I wish I wasn't so jaded and scarred/abused against MMO's after my 6mos stint at WoW. I love Trek, but I just can't ever allow myself to ever play an MMO again. They waste time and money, but most importantly that feeling of real accomplishment, like more than loot drops, is missing forever. That sucks. I want to BEAT a game, not keep doing more fetch missions.
