As I go thru the zillions of threads trying to find out about The difference between a Klingon house and a guild and how they are going to interact...I have noticed that there is a very WIDE variety of issues and opinions and some very heated posts about whatever.
The men and women at Cryptic took on a American Icon that has been around for over 40yrs and turned it into a game. Everybody has there thoughts on where what when and how things should be done and they probably let the Devs know about it every chance they get.
I am sure the Devs read these post and shake their heads in disbelief at the passion and utter Trek knowledge that is out there. We have 6 mos or so till kick off and it will probably only get more heated.The lines will be drawn, alliances will be set and enemies made even before we get our first fail ships.
My hat is off to Cryptic and its staff for giving Game Players of all ages and cultures something to get excited about again. A hearty OOH RAH!!! Keep up the good work and a job well done.
Now, could somebody kindley tell me what thread tells us about The Klingon House and Guilds and how they are going to interact.

I'm pretty sure that the Klingon houses are guilds.

Cryptic has not really released much information in regards to ANYTHING about the klingon empire, just little bits and peices here and there.
The reason for this as far as we know is that the Klingon Empire is one of the more incomplete portions of the game, in the next few weeks i expect they will have the Federation wrapped up (and ready for testing in the Closed Beta) and that they will get to work on the Klingons. At this point in time we can expect a FLOOD of information on the klingon empire, including the questions you have asked in this thread.
So be patient and hang in there, the information is on its way.

Well we don't really know much about Houses so most is guess work. We know that there will be infighting within the Klingon faction and this system will revolve around Houses. Houses will most likely be NPC run sub-factions that players can align themselves to.
Also Guilds = Fleets in STO.

I read somewhere dont have any idea where now...been thru ALOT of threads...anyway, i read that if the house goes to war the guilds go with it. So the question I had whos running the houses and how its gonna work. I thought that maybe there was a thread somewhere for it.
Oh and Zach is a very Klingon name, its a Old Southern Kronos family name from wayyy back...look it up

We really have no idea. Anything you read in a thread is more than likely guess work. But I'm willing to bet Houses are NPC run. Though it would be really cool for players to be able to work their way up and running a House.

Even if it's not the avatar makes up for it.

You give Cryptic praise about the Klingons yet we know next to nothing about them for the game.
Something is amiss with your post...

Sounds to me like he was giving them praise for pickin up such a task as STO and taking the time to make it right, nothin more dissapointing than an icon turned game that is rushed into failure. Been a while since an MMo has really caught my eye but this one has, so even though I have always been a fan of star wars over star trek (i know i know dont kill me) but I am doing my homework and trying to cramm the 411 into the memory chip so I can be ready for the environment when it kicks off or I get to play beta. I look forward to meeting as many of you as I can and I hope we will have good dialogue.
My kilngon house:
The inter-klingonal house of pancakes.
Who's with me?

Just went and found the Dev Chat (10 Aug) about the Klingon House Wars. Looks like the House/Guild is the same thing. So it looks like it will be up to the House Chiefs to start and stop the wars. Thats what i got from it.

House is the Klingon equivilant to, say, a Celtic Clan, and a Fleet is a the STO equivilant of a guild, and a Tribble is William Shatners toupee flooded with pure evil.

They are currently working on the Klingon side which is why you haven't heard much. They won't give us much information until all the decisions are made and most of the content is done. What was hinted on is that there will be in-fighting and more PvP on the Klingon side. You may want to get out there and kill fedrats but you will be fighting enemy Klingon houses as well.

I agree this will be a great game for all, I dont see myself getting board with it like the other MMOs I've played.
And I think Fleets will have a big part part in keeping the game exiting, if you get bored with Exploring , grab some Fleet members and head for the Nutraul Zone. win or loose its gonna be fun.
And it's great to know that the WCs are gonna be in there. Looking forward to the fights Vega, hope all the WCs come with ya.
