Ultima Online is (was?) a lovely sandbox for people to play in, with great potential for role-players who want (wanted?) to create their own adventures.  On top of that, many gaming veterans may have fond memories of the single-player Ultima-games of yore.  Therefore, it is (IS!) loved by many.

My knight, Dormilo Flynigart Koor, wore the humble, grey robes of a monk when he was off-duty, eschewing vanity.

In an interview with Star Trek Online Magazine, Daron Stinnett revealed that a new teaser site is planned for early 2007.  Exactly what that implies is as of yet uncertain, but hopefully it will officially end the media black-out once and for all (or at least once).

Until then, I recommend you stay tuned to a STO-fansite such as STOnet or STOzine for further updates.

Bah, I say leave Britannia the way it is (or better yet; revert it to what it once was) or create a whole new game from scratch!  Britannia does not need a make-over, but rather resuscitation!

I'm afraid I do not understand...  ...could you be more specific?

A teaser site implies something, and as far as I'm concerned, that's a step up from practically nothing.

You guys do realize that it will be 2009 the earliest, right ?

Some time ago, Perpetual announced a "media black-out", meaning that they would not be working much on showcasing their progress for some time, however, in an interview with Star Trek Online Magazine, Daron Stinnett announced:

We are working on a teaser site that will launch early next year. It is still too early for us to launch the official forums but the teaser site will give us a good platform to start releasing more information and images.

Here's to hoping they're as good as their word!

STOnet - the biggest STO community that I know of; if there's anything new on STO or Perpetual, they're sure to have an article on it.
STO Magazine - A rather small community, which I like, but it could use some more activity.  Has a Fleet portal and some exclusive material.  I love the design.
Gemini Fleet - One of the many STO fleets out there.  I'm a Lieutenant, about to be promoted to Lieutenant Commander.

The game is in an early stage of development.  Developing a good MMOG takes time.  If anything, the game will probably be delayed further.
As for off-line play...  ...I very much doubt it.  There'll probably be a trial in due time, however.

tlhIngan jIH!

Well, they announced officially that they wouldn't be working much with the media, so it makes sense that they haven't.  They may be taking the old "Let the community build itself!"-approach (one which I am not entirely fond of, mind you).

Well, the developers announced some time in advance that they'd be initiating a media black-out...  ...but it would appear they've loosened their shackles a bit!

A new website is planned for launch late into this year or towards the beginning of the next, so we're bound to see one around April ;)

Also any MMO has to have items for characters to use, now these items have to come from somewhere. Granted a lone character shouldn't be able to produce a Galaxy class ship, but tri-corders, phaser pistils, comlinks, EVA-suits, repair kits, neural stimulators, and those kewl looking Klingon blades mounted on the wall have to come from somewhere. Would you rather a 'use replicator 1' skill, or a crafter?
