I simultaneously love and hate Massively. On one hand, they have a habit of being right when they offer credence to a layoff rumor, no matter how obscure the source. On the other hand, it’s still a rumor, and I don’t humor rumors unless they have a solid backing. Over at the Faxion Online forums, a couple … Continue reading “You Need A Better Source Than A Guy Who Knows A Guy”
By now, you may be slightly familiar with the name Stephen Calender, ex-programmer for NetDevil. A few weeks ago, I brought up his blog post in a Week in Review, that went into detail starting at the acquisition of Lego Universe by Lego (and subsequent layoffs) to the relationship between Gazillion and NetDevil and even … Continue reading “Stephen Calender Talks:”
I received an interesting email the other day from a reader, or at least I think he was a reader. This email was by a guy who presumably plays Mortal Online. I won’t post the email here, but he essentially tears into me for having a constantly negative bias against the game by posting pieces … Continue reading “Week In Review: Let’s Talk Disappointment Edition”

Sony Fan Faire 2011 is still live until tomorrow, but there has been a plethora of information coming from the Las Vegas convention center. New expansion packs, updates on upcoming games, and more. Everquest and Everquest II respectively are set to receive yet another expansion in the coming months. In Everquest, Veil of Alaris opens … Continue reading “Smörgåsbord of Sony Online Entertainment News”
Wait…What? If the combination of ex-employees and GamersFirst staff are to be believed, Realtime Worlds collapsed in on itself primarily due to the decisions (and lack thereof) of those who locked the doors at night and signed the paychecks every other Friday. So, naturally, when I learned that David Jones has been hired at GamersFirst … Continue reading “David Jones Is Back On All Points Bulletin!”
I have a new goal: Find the guy who writes Sony’s press releases, and hire him to the MMO Fallout team. In an announcement today on Sony’s website came the revelation of four “super servers,” to reduce queue times, delivered in a much more positive fashion than “we’re merging servers.” We have heard your concerns … Continue reading “Super Servers Sounds Better Than Server Merger”
Who wants All Points Bulletin: Reloaded? Scotland wants APB: Reloaded. So much so, that Scottish Development International offered a cash incentive for K2 Networks to open up an office in Scotland, as well as a two hundred thousand in “regional selective assistance” from the Scottish Enterprise development agency, in order to set up shop. Well, K2 … Continue reading “GamersFirst In Scotland, Cryptic Deja Vu.”
Lego Universe will no longer be maintained by NetDevil, as the game and development team have been bought up by Lego Team.
I love Crimecraft. Not as much as I should, and certainly not as much as the folks over at Vogster have shown love to me (my last article was featured on Crimecraft’s Twitter) making me feel like a neglectful spouse. One thing Crimecraft has always been somewhat light on is plot, other than the basics … Continue reading “Crimecraft: Of Course There’s A Story!”
