Bigpoint Games notoriously has a big mouth when it comes to pointing out their accomplishments, and despite the objections of some of the gaming community over the publisher’s very blatant and self-noted pay-for-advantage model, the company continues to post major profits and major user numbers. Today, the publisher announced that their portfolio of over 60 [...]

Perpetuum: When One Person Can Ruin Everyone’s Fun
January 30th, 2012 
Omali I’ve talked about disgruntled customers in the past, and once or twice about how occasionally those people happen to have access to say intimate knowledge of SQL database exploits or how to launch denial of service attacks, not that the latter requires much technical prowess. To make matters worse, while large businesses require denial of [...]
Falling Out #10: Free To Pay
January 30th, 2012 Omali I did a search on Fighter, he doesn’t have an Everquest account at all.
Sony Shuttering Everquest On Mac
January 30th, 2012 Omali Everquest on Mac is interesting, to say the least. Almost like Everquest Online Adventures, Everquest Macintosh is a rather different game than Everquest on Windows. Released in 2003, EQMac lost pace with Everquest’s development a long time ago, leaving it very far behind in terms of development. But even without the same level of support [...]
TERA Can’t Escape Licencing, IP Blocks Coming
January 30th, 2012 Omali Back when Bluehole announced that TERA would have no region restrictions whatsoever, I was admittedly skeptical. An MMO without regional restrictions generally spawns from one of a few circumstances: The same company is publishing it in all regions ala City of Heroes, or there is only one worldwide server ala Eve Online and Mortal Online. [...]
Everquest Officially Free to Play in March
January 30th, 2012 Omali Someone call my doctor, nutritionist, and accountant, and find me enough provisions to last until I die. With Sony’s multitude of announcements over free to play, the titles have been falling like dominos. Everquest 2, Planetside 2, DC Universe, Pirates of the Burning Sea, and the possibility of Vanguard at some point, the idea that [...]
Jagex Unveils ‘Optimus’ Anti-Bot Technology
January 27th, 2012 Omali I don’t think I’ve used that screenshot in almost two years. Last October, Jagex accomplished what many of us had thought to be impossible: busted a grand majority of the bots in RuneScape in one single move known today as Bot Nuke Day, or Project Clusterfutterer. The update demolished reflection and injection bots, or 98% [...]
NCSoft Is Suing TERA Again
January 26th, 2012 Omali It’s been two years since I last talked about the lawsuit between NCSoft and TERA developer Bluehole Studio, so I think a recap is necessary. Many years ago, before Lineage III was known as Lineage Eternal and when NCSoft still had plans to develop the MMO on the Unreal 3 engine, several members of the [...]
Falling Out #9: Quiz Time
January 25th, 2012 Omali Because you were all concerned that this might be late. New episodes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Star Vault Interim 2011 Report

All of this information was sourced via official financial documents translated through Google translator. You can view the original document here. Star Vault has released its combination Q4 and 2011 Interim [...]
