The majority of games currently available on Facebook are simple. In fact, some of them lack any depth of any kind and aren’t fun to play for more than few minutes — if that. Now a group of developers who worked on games like EverQuest, Planetside, and Free Realms is planning to deliver what may seem impossible – a true MMORPG on Facebook that will appear to both the hardcore and casual audience, and that game is called City of Eternals.

I’m not sure how many people are interested, but it looks like those wishing to lead a Federation Starship or Klingon Battlecruiser don’t need an Alienware superduper glowing computer of death to play Star Trek Online.
