Star Trek OnlineStar Trek Online (the Star Trek MMO) has been in development for quite a while now. Back when Star Wars Galaxies was getting started there were tons of Trekkies claiming how much better STO would be than SWG.

As it turns out it looks like it'll be even longer before anyone gets a chance to step into a Star Trek Themed MMO thanks to a recent development at Perpetual Entertainment. The development : P2 has decided to shift creative gears and is now concentrating on "casual games."

While the game hasn't been scrapped (a new developer will gain access to the license and content) Perpetual is apparently taking the code with them. That means all programming on STO has to start from scratch - Ouch.
