The PvP variety at present is a bit..... sparse but it can only get better.
If you want to exclusively play only PvP I'd say wait a bit. But if you want to do a bit of both (all the Federation side story missions and do a little PvP on the side) you will have plenty to keep you busy.
I can't even join PvP in the demo to see if that's good. I enjoy PvP a lot.
Are there open PvP zones now? I have a site where i can buy the key for £12. ^^

Re:ST: Pandora "Passing"
War'en looked past Dr. Smith's advancing form to the other side of the room. Next to the bed, underneath his discarded Starfleet uniform, was a phaser that he'd been given by Captain Amana. War'en wished he had gone for the phaser instead of trying to escape out of the room.
"Who are the Gnostics?" he asked, trying to keep his assailant talking.
"We seek the knowledge of the Nephilim, so that we may become one with them," responded Dr. Smith, whose voice had taken on a wavering tone that almost bordered on ecstasy. "We serve them in all that we do, and AS I DO NOW!"
Dr. Smith lunged again at War'en, raising the hypospray to his neck. War'en lept to the side away from the hypospray and, though he evaded the doctor's attack, he slammed into a wall that was just a few feet from the door. By this point, however, adrenaline was fueling War'en and helped keep him focused. He spun from the wall and sprinted for the pile of clothes next to the bed. The doctor, not to be deterred, turned after him and made a grab for his legs. Both War'en and the doctor crashed to the floor. The doctor raised the hypospray one more time and brought it down on War'en's leg. War'en felt the cold touch of the hypospray again his skin just as he pulled the phaser out from under the clothes and fired at the doctor, sending him into unconsciousness immediately.
The hypospray fell from the doctor's limp hand and clattered to the floor. War'en turned over and pulled himself into a sitting position against the bed, his breathing still fast and deep as he looked at Dr. Smith's still form. He only looked up from him when he heard voices come from the other side of the door a few moments later.
"I can't open the door!"
Red...?
"Step away. I have an override code," came a quieter voice that War'en could barely hear.
"Talona, Maggie, cover me after Captain Amana opens the door. Dr. Redwing, stand by and keep watch for anyone that approaches," ordered Oren-De.
"War'en? Are you alright in there?" sounded Red's voice again.
"I'm fine..." he said, but it came out much quieter than he had intended. I'm fine...
The door slid open and a phaser rifle poked through into the room. Oren-De slid out from the frame and made a quick visual pass of the room. Upon seeing that there were no live threats, he looked over at War'en. "Are you alright, Mr. Lok?"
War'en nodded and finally found his voice. "Yes, I'm fine. This was the only attacker", he said motioning to the prone form next to him.
Oren-De motioned back to the door for the others to come in. Red rushed into the room, followed by the others. He brought his medical tricorder to bear on War'en and let out a word of relief in Navajo. "No injuries. War'en, what did that guy try to do to you?"
"He tried injecting me with something in that hypospray," replied War'en, motioning to the discarded instrument.
Red frowned and gave it a once-over with his tricorder. His eyes went wide at the reading. Talona looked at him in concern. "Red? What's wrong?"
"This hypospray is filled with 1,5-dichlorotamiryx, more commonly known as DCT. It's an incredibly potent nuerotoxin that was developed by the Cardassians for use against species like the Vorta that are immune to most other poisons. Luckily the hypospray is still full, but if he had injected you with this War... there'd be nothing left of you now..."
Everyone looked at War'en in silence until Amana spoke up. "I'm glad that you're safe, Mr. Lok. I know that you have a difficult day ahead of you tomorrow, but I would like to debrief you as soon as possible."
War'en simply nodded. Red looked up at Amana from his position next to War'en. "It wouldn't be a good idea to place stress on him this close to the Joining. I... I should stay here to monitor his vitals."
Maggie and Talona exchanged looks at the weak excuse. Oren-De studied Red before looking over at Amana. "Dr. Redwing is an excellent physician. I think you should take his advice, if only to avoid a confrontation with Starfleet Medical when they find out you used one of their dormitories as a trap for an assassin."
Amana nodded with a small smile on her face. "I understand. Thank you for the advice, Commander Oren-De. However, I request the rest of you leave while I conduct the debriefing."
Maggie, Talona, and Oren-De nodded. They said their good-byes and good wishes to War'en, then took their leave. As Amana began to question War'en, Red looked at his tricorder and thanked the spirits that War'en was still with him.

Re:STO/Stonewal, what is new?
The PVP could be better. Personally I think there are some balance issues to sort out. But this is something other members might need to comment on. Am not much of a PVP player. The Klingon's seem too powerful (although I have heard someone say they aren't) as well as this, being on "lop sided" teams, where another team have more members.
As for open pvp, am not sure what this means, as I say, not much of a pvp player. But there are planets you can travel to for them, but really its the same as accessing them from the pvp que in the options menu. Hopefully someone else will be able to comment on this and give better information that I can.

Re:STO/Stonewal, what is new?
Cryptic has already done the demo mate. But to be honest, the demo tells me nothing. Being a closed beta tester, then an open beta tester until launch day, doing the tutorial for the 5th time doesn't tell me if the game is anymore interesting.
I can't even join PvP in the demo to see if that's good. I enjoy PvP a lot.
Are there open PvP zones now? I have a site where i can buy the key for £12. ^^

Re:STO/Stonewal, what is new?
Well for British times, like around now, there are a few people on Vent and am sure many in game.
If you aren't sure, I think Cryptic are launching a demo soon, if it isn't already available. You will be able to try the first few missions according to what I have read.

Re:STO/Stonewal, what is new?
Hi there!
Am quite new...well...since the UK release. Stonewall is very active! We had a very successful PVP event last night. As a new player to the game I found everyone very helpful and supportive, I never found it hard to find someone to talk to on the fleet chat in game. There are also a few friendly voices hanging around Vent quite often. I was quite surprised and happy with this, as many games seem to have a big American fan base (I don't know if you are American or not sorry). With being something like 5 to 8 hours ahead, it has been nice to see people on. Am sure someone State side could give you a flavour of what it is like during their peak hours.
As for being bored of MMOs, this is my first, so I cant really comment there. However, I do generally get bored of games quite quick. This has really grabbed my attention, infact, I have been playing this when I really should have been writing my Undergraduate Dissertation!
I hope this will be able to answer (in part) some of your questions.
Mark :D

STO/Stonewal, what is new?
Hopefully some of you guys will remember me from the STO beta. (If not O.o)
I have a couple of questions as i never purchased the game after beta.
1. How active is Stonewall in STO nowadays?
2. Would you guys recommend the game for a person who gets bored easily of MMORPG's? The only MMO I truely loved was Star Wars Galaxies.
I keep debating whether to buy STO or not. I don't have much money to waste and i don't want to buy the game out of boredom.
