Cryptic Studios to Create In-game Memorial for Leonard Nimoy in Star Trek Online

Posted: 28 Feb 2015 03:50 PM PST

Star Trek OnlinePlayers visited Vulcan to pay their respects

Yesterday, actor Leonard Nimoy passed away at his home at the age of 83. Nimoy was known for his iconic role as Mr. Spock on Star Trek: The Original Series, and subsequent movies, though he was also a director, author, producer, and singer among other things. As a tribute to the actor and his role in Star Trek, Cryptic Studios announced that it will create an in-game memorial for Mr. Spock and Leonard Nimoy in Star Trek Online.

Shortly after Nimoy's death was announced, around a thousand players logged into the free-to-play MMO and travelled to Vulcan to pay respect to the actor and his character, Mr. Spock, which Nimoy voiced in the game. STO developer Cryptic Studios posted its own acknowledgement of Nimoy's passing and then followed up with an announcement for plans to include an in-game memorial. 

"I want to once again express my heartfelt condolences to the friends, family, and fans of Leonard Nimoy," said Star Trek: Online executive producer Steve Ricossa on the game's official forums. "Everyone at Cryptic Studios was saddened to hear of his passing and we want to make sure we never forget the cultural impact of the man or the character he played. To that end, the Star Trek Online team will implement a standing in-game memorial to Spock and Leonard Nimoy this Thursday March 5th with our regular weekly maintenance." 

Ricossa continued, "In this way, we hope to keep his memory as alive in our game as he is in all of our hearts."

The MOBA Conundrum

When the original Defense of the Ancients rose to popularity as a mod for Warcraft III, I had already moved on from Blizzard's RTS to the next hotness (probably Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time). Hence, it wasn't until many years later that I became aware of DotA in its modern iteration, particularly as a reference point for new MOBAs like League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth, Demigod, Smite, and of course, DotA 2.
