I came to Holotrek with fairly high expectations, mostly from the descriptions on TMC and on Holotrek's own site. After a week or two of playing, I was hooked. I had played several MUDs before, mostly of the hack-and-slash variety, but when I came upon Holotrek, I wasn't treated like just another newbie to be ignored, but rather welcomed as a real person and potential member of the team. I was patiently and clearly taught about RP. They helped me create my character and integrated me into the game as smoothly as possible.

Now, I am the commanding officer of the PC ship for the United Federation of Planets, and have lived through large scale battles, mental torture, abduction, perilous detective work, encounters with crazy computers and renegade ghost ships, directors new and old and I wouldn't trade the experience of these years for anything in the world. I urge anyone who is considering it to log on, to see for yourself. Someday soon, you too may be in the center seat, and coming up with potential plotlines and solutions to current problems on the verge of sleep, or in your car, or wherever you might be during your day.
