Some of you may remember the Ponzi scheme that Stargate Worlds and MMOGuls allegedly turned out to be. I do, and I distinctly apologize to my editor for forgetting that I had duct taped and locked you in the basement, but then again that is what happens when you interrupt my Diablo 3 time to [...]

Dominus Is Dead, Announces Pitchblack Games
April 30th, 2012 
Omali It is with a heavy heart that I have to say goodbye, or at least goodbye for now. We simply cannot deliver the game you deserve with the resources we have. We never quit trying, even when hope faded, because you – our community – kept us inspired. It is a sad day for sandbox [...]
Warhammer 40k MMO Officially Cancelled
March 29th, 2012 Omali If this announcement sounds familiar, I wouldn’t get your hopes up. This time the announcement is official, Warhammer: Dark Millennium Online has been cancelled. Well, somewhat. In a press release today, THQ announced that the Dark Millennium will no longer be an MMO, but will instead become a single player game. So the title is dropping the [...]
Development Sunsets On Stellar Dawn
March 2nd, 2012 Omali Back in August I wrote an article titled “Does Jagex Have Any Enthusiasm For Stellar Dawn?” In it, I referred to the disconnect between the complete lack of information regarding Jagex’s upcoming MMO and the fact that in August of the (at the time) release year, information on the game was virtually nonexistent. No screenshots, [...]
Buffy MMO and Firefly MMO Canned
January 2nd, 2012 Omali You may know Multiverse from…well you probably don’t know about Multiverse. You may know about the game engine because of two specific IPs set to have MMOs on the platform: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Firefly. Those looking forward to questing alongside Buffy or traveling the stars in the distant future will have to turn [...]
The MMO That Wasn’t: The Agency
December 29th, 2011 Omali Looking at the success of games like CrimeCraft and the sales Tribes: Ascend during its continued beta period, I can’t help but feel that The Agency got the very short end of the stick when Sony cancelled it earlier this year. Perhaps if Sony had licensed an IP, say James Bond, the game would have [...]
Star Wars Galaxies Memoir Book
December 22nd, 2011 Omali Star Wars Galaxies shut down a week ago, but it already feels like a lifetime. Whether you are a long time fan of the MMO, played a little now and then, or never had a chance to dive in, the crew over at Sony want to give you a chance to relive some fond moments. [...]
Star Wars Galaxies: Final Address To The Community
December 16th, 2011 Omali Looking back on Star Wars Galaxies and all these years I am so thankful for being able to be a part of the Star WarsGalaxies community both as the Producer and as a fan. It would not have been the incredible experience that it was without you, the players and fans, the dedicated team of people who worked [...]
Mythos Shutting Down In Europe
October 20th, 2011 Omali If you live in the US and were eagerly awaiting the North American release of Mythos (and let’s face it, how many among us can honestly say we weren’t holding off only Old Republic preorders), you will be disappointed to hear that those prospects for a release and long life span have dropped rather significantly. [...]
Week In Review: Keep Your Origin Account Safe Edition
October 2nd, 2011 Omali Today’s week in review is a bit more interesting than previous works, if I do say so myself as an unbiased outside source. As far as MMOs go, I’ve been spending a lot of time in Lord of the Rings Online with my pitiful leveling speed in an already slow to level game. Currently I [...]
