RIP KDF and PvP 2014-07-17 Season 9.5 - Death by Dev
Though how DC Universe beat out Champions Online for top 10 free superhero games is beyond me. Good lord that game sucks.

That, plus if you're a Trek fan then you must play this game. Period. (eg. if you're not playing then you're not a trek fan lol...)
and you forgot to say star trek online is number 1.
well done cryptic.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
Why is that ? Because it so closely follows the exploration, mystery, deep thinking of the series of Star Trek... ? Did you mean JJ trek...that would make sense.....
I guess those people dont consider PoE as MMORPG because that game is free, everything except cosmetics... strange though while its not so much a massive multiplayer game then some of those mentioned it has similar mechanics to STO, it has instances and most number of the people possible can be found in social zones.

STO is in fact the first one on the list, but nothing the writer says suggests the order of the list means anything. The fact that they have Marvel Heroes as #3 even though they don't actually like it suggests the order is meaningless.

100% dead game, the queue there takes 3 hours to start (this reminds me another game), all maps there are empty and when you find some other player on your side is reason to be amazed! but I must admit when this game was released was a fever, at least pvp there was a lot of fun, 10x10! (people here would cry to see one player there alone tanking and killing all others 10 without any help, good memories)
Nooooooooooooooooooope...........
But because no other game lets you play this sucker. Unless you consider Trexels a game lol...
Congrats to Cryptic, well-deserved. I've been playing since open beta, and can attest to the many improvements made over the years.
Call me selfish, but I think there should be a thank you gift of some kind for the loyal player base.
Ah , they already gave out half of the cash shop. Last was the *full* ENT pack. They can't be more generous than that.....
Wait they can! They can start pooping out KDF and rom science ships and carriers .......... hahhaahahah /evil laugh
I am pleasantly surprised that its a legit compliment, and I can honestly say that it is awesome that we got in the top ten best F2P MMORPG list!
YEEHAW!
I can't believe he actually said he was giving me a simple answer.
"Yes and no"
"reading it that way isn't wrong"
"it's a valid reading of what I wrote either way"
That's *not* simple answer, that is dodging the question and spin. I'm not sure what he is afraid of or why he can't give a direct answer to a simple question, but he obviously isn't going to, so I give up.

Nice nitpicking there... Considering other series ST is a deep thinking title you quoting some obscurities does not deny that. ST had a deep impact on many views and is considered a prime pillar in broader sci fi culture even if it had some badly implemented episode like some you mentioned, as a whole it stands out so nobody is kidding himself for saying that.
Ignore the troll, ignore the troll...
Must... not... ... ... reply... {ungh}
I know that Star Trek has many plot holes especially movies for instance ST: First Contact and the time traveling borg who time travel...in front of earth getting pounded instead of a seclude sector where they could be undisturbed. Yet that still doesnt cancel the many important questions and story developments presented in ST, nor does you huge personal knowledge of ST deny that in any way. "true giants of sci-fi" you are implying that ST isnt one well your personal opinion, because the majority does consider ST to be a great work in sci-fi genre and ST has left a mark in history a well documented one.
And, congrats to the STO devs for creating this great game.
So far, it's the only F2P game I've come across that a "minnow" (cheapskate/free) player such as myself can actually excel in, even without going on insane grinds. (I don't grind in this game really at all and no, daily holiday events hardly count) Previously, I played Forsaken World (another game under the PW umbrella) and there's a definite paywall when my max-level, semi-decent-geared character can't hold a candle in comparison to the $1k+ whales.
While STO has gotten slightly worse over the years thanks to the level cap increase and upgrade system, it's still extremely accessible to the point where you're more likely to spend money on the game because you want to, not because you need to in order to compete.
THAT is how a F2P game is made. So bravo, Cryptic. Keep doing what you do and ignore the haters.

lol, this is the same franchise that brought Space Captain (kirk) and Lincoln vs TRIBBLE, and "we SWEAR we are not an army, just ignore the massive warships we have, we only want yo absorb you into our yoke", or CYBORG ZOMBIES, and you cannot forgot about the time that Picard became Robin Hood., and of course the episode "threshold"
seriously, Q's Winter wonderland in this game, is just about normal for Trek. Anyone who says Trek is pure Intellectual, CLEARLY has not actually watched it that much.
@thegrandnagus1 : My personal theory is, as I have hinted at before, those sites are far from objective. They are personal frustration vents at worst and either voluntary or officially sanctioned promotion at best. Either way, "blogging" or running a "gaming website" (which is plastered with ads and trackers) in this day and age is nothing I'd call "journalism" and there may be the simple reason that nobody on the site agreed to actually promote one thing over the other.

Have you stopped beating the article author yet?
If I were to rank my top 10 games now, I might give one answer. But ask me again in a month, I might change the order, or listen even different games. (Even if I have not played any new ones since the last time you asked).
Mustrum "There are only 10 types of people in the world, those that think binary and those that don't." Ridcully
I think you have your answer, in not so many words...
Kind of put's the entire article into doubt.
Besides, the list is meaningless with SWTOR on it, as that game is terribad for f2p.
While yes you can play that game f2p, you are so restricted in what you can do/play, it feels like someone chopped off your hands and feet and expecting you to do well...
Evil laugh indeed what we need is more diabolical laughter , and maybes some diabolical acting to go with it lol
Duet is also my favorite DS9 episode which is interesting because most of series start weak in first season, however this one didnt, brilliant acting by Harris covering under his bunk
