Ditto. For the people that get to go, take pictures and put them up for us to see! Never been to a convention yet, would have been great to go to this one, oh well.

This is excellent news, and will undoubtedly help to ensure people know about Star Trek Online. I wish I could be there as well, but at least the live webcast will be going!

08-05-2008, 02:07 PM

Cool, so jealous that I can't go!
Despite the subscription contest, I think that this in particular is a good bit of advertising here by Cryptic and I can't wait to see it on the web!

Fascinating is definitely the best way to describe it :cool:

08-05-2008, 02:13 PM

Wow, dang, it sure would be kwl to meet him, but because im 17 and i live in England, i dont think that will be possible. For all the people that do meet him, enjoy! make the most of it and if you have time, get me a signature ;) lol

Off Topic : Where in kent do you live. I also live there.

On Topic : Sounds good, bad I cant make it. I hope everyone has a good time.

A great start for Cryptic and Star Trek! Can't wait to follow the webcast, really! :)

I am very sad, because i won't be able to watch it by the net.

Could someone save the video and share it with people who can't watch it?

Please!! I really want to see this moment... :'(

Well this is nice, I don’t think he will be an NPC in the game but its cool that the game is getting good press… this bodes well for the future.

Nimisis

08-05-2008, 10:13 PM

things couldnt be any bigger or better than mr Nimoy being present - I don't think I have ever been so excited about a game ever as much as I am bout STO!

Banach

08-05-2008, 10:16 PM

I wish you guys had a competition to go to the conference, I'd love to go!

Indeed. Including overseas plane ticket.

Also, I believe Nimoy was gonna visit this convention anyway. They just convinced him to sit at the STO booth for a few minutes for a few questions. :p;)

Bigwig

08-06-2008, 02:19 AM

Awesome, Nimoy is GOD!

Roderrick

08-06-2008, 02:31 AM

Nobody awser me, can someone save the video of the convention for me? (and for the other who wont be able to watch it) Please...

Aye. It's also for us who can't be in Vegas at the time to have a reminder of when the webcast will begin that shows the first gameplay footage of STO.

Markham_Karis

08-06-2008, 06:55 AM

Wow, that's a great news item. I'm sure that it will be a great treat for everyone there to see Leonard Nimoy. Too bad I can't be there in person and won't be in town to see the live webcast. I'll catch it on YouTube, so please someone post it there!

MANY thanks!

I'll be watching that web cast eagerly, been waiting for some game play footage since this project was announced years ago :)

trek4life

08-06-2008, 07:51 AM

This just keeps getting better! :eek: And I also want to thank cryptic for having the online video of the convention! I've never been to one so it will be exciting to watch one live as well as getting to see the first gameplay footage of STO!!! :D

clearymonkey

08-06-2008, 07:56 AM

Wow! :eek: Now I am really sad I am not going to be there in time to see it live.
Enjoy your time with the Stars in Vegas RAZOR!

Who can save the video for me? And for other people who wont be able to watch it on internet.

Could you please record this event for later viewing I know I'll want to see it and see what gets said/viewed.

Shades29A

08-06-2008, 04:07 PM

Awesome, Nimoy is GOD!

THANK YOU - my point exactly!
I sadly wasnt going until I heard not only was Leonard speaking but also you could get tickets to be photographed and to get autographs from him so I found the funds and head out Saturday for his Sunday appearances because its all about the Nimoy! Now added to these three things is a fourth - this Star Trek online presentation appearance so super good news!

I wish it meant you could talk with him but the convention is clear that buying photo and auto tickets is NOT buying a conversation with the stars. Tthey say the time for each is about 15 seconds! Well, except for the less expensive stars in the autograph room).

Also the entire Hilton Star Trek Experience closes a month after the convention Sorry to hear so many cant make it but at least there will be the video.

08-06-2008, 05:48 PM

This is very sweet, but don't be all blowing your game budget on space shuttle rides, movie stars and Farbergé eggs. Fawn over Mr. Nimoy for a weekend and then get back to work ;-)

Have fun!

We are thrilled to announce that legendary Star Trek actor and director Leonard Nimoy will be our special guest at the reveal of the first gameplay footage from Star Trek Online!

Mr. Nimoy will be appearing at our event at the Official Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas. The event will take place at 1:30 p.m. PDT on Sunday, August 10 in the Gene Roddenberry Theater at the Las Vegas Hilton.

Read more here! (http://www.startrekonline.com/node/70)

I AM TOTALLY SPEACHLESS !!!! ;)

Bringing up Leonard for this event if a huge accomplishment. The only downside, is that I won't be there ! Would you make something similar to Europe? Star Trek is not only USA, you know. :p

Anyway, I am anxious to see the gameplay footage on-line. Keep up with the good work guys! :)

Nothing good happens in rural England!

I would so love to go but i am thousands of miles away!

We need a good convention in Oxfordshire, we have absolutely nothing big here.

Still looking forward to the release though!

Roderrick

08-07-2008, 07:57 AM

So nobody will record the video and upload it on net?

Thanks Spockbeard! They have a Spocki ride and Spock Farbergé egg? Just kidding, but yeS funds are being appropriated for Nimoy based events although a fan of all TOS.

Anyway to contact the site to learn if Nimoy is making a cameo appearance or will be part of the presentation? Im new here, didnt see a contact option and the Converntion organizer (Creation) doesnt know.

I'd love to hear Nimoy's voice do some of the off-camera narration for the game's cut scenes. Not as Spock, of course, since the game is set in a time period when it is very unlikely we will ever meet Spock -- but as the "Narrator" voice which introduces new players to the game when you first boot up or for special cut scenes on particularly memorable missions that everyone is likely to play through.

I love Leonard Nimoy. I agree with Dax! What a hottie!

I'm going to try to catch this online. Leonard Nimoy is a great speaker!

Soopy

08-08-2008, 08:37 PM

i will also be streaming this online as most people here are. i would not miss a chance to find out even more information on the great looking star trek mmo game.

Gnacko

08-09-2008, 01:42 PM

Yeah, Nimoy is a great voice. I luv his "Space ...the final frontier!" from the Star Trek XI Trailer :)

As to the Webcast there definitely will be dozens of people recording it and publishing it five minutes after it on youtube etc.

Chronotope

08-09-2008, 04:01 PM

For anyone interested:

I'm trying to get some fellow fans together to chat while the event is going on, I'm running it off my blog, using CoverItLive. It would be nice to have some people to talk to while watching the webcast this Sunday.

Anyone in? The address is - http://www.boldlyplay.com

08-09-2008, 08:34 PM

I went to the Vegas convention last year and it was awesome! Unfortunately, I can't make it this year, but I'm anxiously waiting for the webcast. I'll try to record it for those who requested.

Fvillha

08-09-2008, 08:56 PM

I will be out of town and away from most gadgets/PC/Internet (scout camping with my son on the Oregon Coast) and would appreciate any recording made of the event Sunday. The more romulan nanite flys on the walls the better.

Thanks in advance :cool:

Sorry to burst your bubble Jol... the announcement was for last year. *Points to Aug 5, 2008.*

We don't know who they'll have, if anyone, at the 'con this year as their special guest.

EDIT: Aaaand I just realized this is probably a spambot. Someone facepalm me, please.

I am so happy to be able to say I will be there in Las Vegas for the Star Trek Convention. I am even more happy to hear this news from Cryptic!

EDIT: Oh! Did someone say that was last year? Well ...... I was wondering why the date seemed off.

Oh well, will be a good time anyway and I will be taking video.

Xibala points a finger at ANBU_Kira and wonders why he had to necro the thread.
