Couldn't disagree more MMORPG's are hardly a fad they've been around for years and have been massive since ultima online became the first commercially successful mmorpg (back in 1997), you only have to look at the ammount of people that play each game SWG, anarchy, Lineage 1&2, my own choice World of Warcraft and many others, each has a massive communtiy with thousands apone thousands of players loging on each day, just look at how many people purchased WoW and they've even ran out of stock in alot of places.

Before you say people are stupid, I suggest you learn abit about gaming first.

one could have said the same thing about pokemon a few years ago

But then Pokemon is a children’s show, something that would of been popular with the kids back then but they've grown out of it now, and moved on to something else mmorpgs can be enjoyed be anyone, I’ve met players online who range from 12 years old into their 40's the same can't be said for pokemon, and the fact that mmorpgs have been going strong for along time and are continuing to grow and expand is only a good sign for the future.

Omega does make a point, I have friends that are still playing Ultima online and WoW is a stayer because there are alot of mature guys (ranging 30-40) and even couples of that age playing the game. So some games stays playable aslong as there are updates. look for instance at the game Diablo 2 it is a free online game but is al over 5 years around and still staying strong

Im worried that Star Trek Online will some how leave some star trek concepts out. I dont know what but i know something will be missing.
Sorry for going off topic a little. this is the first thing to pop in mind

Yeah its always a worry, but you would expect going with the general trend of mmorpgs, that they'll try to cover as much as possible, im sure you will be able to choose to play as one of the main 4-6 races, the feds, roms and klingons would be a must, im interested in what kind of class system will be used, if they'll go with the more standard system of warriors, medics and the like or devise their own system based around skills. But the beauty of games such as these and taking Star Wars Galaxies as a good example even if they start of lacking, they can be improved over time with patches, content updates and so on, and I for one am more than willing to wait for a really good Star Trek mmorpg.

about the pokémon, it is still popular with kids today, and i was only using it as an example, there are many fads out there thart can be enjoyed by everyone and have been going for years, just look at harry potter, its read by hundreads, its still at its peak but it will die out, the best example is star trek, it was really popular, died out for 20years plus tng came along it was popular right throught to enterprise and is nort as popular anymore. whos to say mmorpg will not do the same, for all you know they could die out next year and not be popular agauin untill the 30's (that sounds wierd saying that the thirtie's)

Well I do agree that they could become less popular but I seriously drought that they will ever die out completely, the fan base for mmorpgs is immense and even if a lot of the younger players move on to something else there will still be a very good core of dedicated players keeping the games going, and I strongly object to them being called a fad, a fad is generally something that’s popular for a short time and gone the next usually in less than a year, its more for something like yoyo's that became popular for a very short time and than vanished, when your looking at a period of nearly a decade that mmorpgs have been going strong, that would hardly be labeled as a fad.

again i refear back to pokémon it started in 1996 (humm sounds like the same sort of time) it still has a lot of fans and many games (sound familar) will proberly keep going on for many years to come as new generations of little dumb kids find out about it (seeing a patten here) even when somthing new comes out there will still be saddacts how watch/play it.

and so pokemon has not died out truely but it has in the same way that MMORPGs will.
