Being a somewhat impatient person is rather incompatible with writing about the MMO genre, an industry where waiting is merely half the battle. Between games announced half a decade before their intended release and those launched in Korea, China, or Japan only to take a further few years to make it over to the west, … Continue reading “Top 5: MMOs That We Can’t Have”

As we reported month’s ago, the free to play title originally launched a separate subscription server in its native Russian host to test the waters. Apparently the service was successful, because gPotato … Continue reading “Allods Online's Subscription Server Is Here”
