I never thought about it before, but ordering a MMO through Steam presents problems. Case-in-point I was expecting to log into the Star Trek Online head start with little incident Friday night after getting home from work. I had made sure I downloaded and patched the client through Steam after removing the beta client I [...]

I have boldly gone where many have gone before me and ventured into the open beta of Star Trek Online. (Thanks Ninthbatter and Polygamerous!) I wasn’t able to explore every nook n’ cranny in the beta considering I didn’t have a key until the final weekend, but I did get enough time to share my [...]

I have never been as geared as I am right now with my rogue. With each base level emblem change that came with each of the major patches during WotLK it has never been easier to gear up my toons. I’ve never had multiple max-level toons before and never has my main had multiple tier [...]
