A title certain to cause confusion among my readers, but I did so to force the few of you who only read the title to read the article itself as well. Despite how some of my fellow MMO journalists have been wording their writing, the Sony database has not been hacked. Rather, Sony announced on [...]

SOE Authenticator Coming To Device, iOS, and Android
August 12th, 2011 
Omali Even if you did hide the authenticator image behind several pages of CSS. With the recent hacking of Sony’s services, one might be slightly concerned about the safety of their account. Following in the steps of Blizzard, Square Enix, and a select few other companies, Sony Online Entertainment has announced that the company will be [...]
EA: Microtransactions Through Live Gamer
July 27th, 2010 Omali Those of you who are acquainted with Sony Online Entertainment are likely aware of Live Gamer, the “legit” real money trading website where players can buy and sell characters, gold, and more between each other without fear of getting scammed by some guy sitting in China watching ten WoW bots do their work. Currently, the [...]
Dark Age of Camelot: Still Thinking About You
June 23rd, 2010 Omali Nine years is a long time for any project. By the time an MMO’s ninth birthday comes around, their community has been long-ago set on what they want out of the game, the developers have found their strong points, and although the game likely stopped growing years ago, those who have stuck with it often [...]
Put Your Money Episode #1: ________ Station Pass
May 4th, 2010 Omali Back in January I asked a pretty simple question: Since Sony has had so much success with the Station Pass, an offer where players can pay the fee of two MMOs to gain access to eight (previously nine) MMOs, why don’t we see more packages where developers or publishers bundle together MMOs to increase subscriber [...]
Mythic Shuts Down Merchandise Site
May 1st, 2010 Omali MMOs, as is the case with most forms of entertainment, regularly don’t see anywhere near as much success outside of their main product and, in many cases, online stores are kept to a minimum, if they are kept at all. Players who attempted to purchase anything from the Mythic Store today were met with the [...]
Let’s Get Serious: Mythic Account Issues
April 10th, 2010 Omali It’s fun to joke about issues such as your billing system imploding and taking a couple hundred dollars per person with it, but at the end of the day we really need to get down to brass tacks and remind ourselves of those who are being affected by this incident, to whom this is anything [...]
Mythic Billing Explodes: Some Players Charged $500!
April 8th, 2010 Omali Computers are great, and are becoming more integrated into our lives with every passing day. Nowadays you can use a cell phone to do more than just talk to your friend in Thailand with your unlimited long distance and roaming plan. Now a phone can be used to play video games, update your Facebook pages, [...]
What Does the Better Business Bureau Say?
February 18th, 2010 Omali The triple-B, or Better Business Bureau, is quite an interesting outfit. One one hand, the organization has absolutely no authority over any business anywhere at any time, ever. On the other hand, its advice is taken very seriously by many consumers, by some as gospel, and by others who believe that the BBB actually has [...]
Dark Age of Camelot Europe: Great (If You Speak English)
February 13th, 2010 Omali Maybe not death. Perhaps where you accidentally clip your nails to far and you catch your skin and it hurts really bad to touch anything for a couple days. Back in early January, I reported on news that EA/Mythic would be reclaiming the European grounds of Dark Age of Camelot from their current host, GOA. [...]
