Back in October, VP of Bioware Mythic Eugene Evans told us that Warhammer Online is alive and kicking and, much like the Christmas cookies in the closet in July, remains an undiscovered treat. In fact, Evans was confident enough in Warhammer’s future to announce that subscription numbers had risen since the announcement of WAR’s free … Continue reading “Warhammer Online: Too Far Gone For Free To Play?”
I hesitate to talk trash about Bigpoint games, and not just because the company could throw a million bucks my way to shut me up and it’d be like the CEO dropped a few pennies out of his pocket, but because the company has indeed found a way to monetize any aspect of their games … Continue reading “Speaking of Macrotransactions: Bigpoint’s $1,000 Spaceship”

For the record I tried to hold off on the “are you thinking what I’m thinking?” I make no promises. In an interview with Gamespot, Sony Online Entertainment’s President John Smedley sat down to talk about Everquest, DC Universe, and more. Most important, Smedley mentioned that Sony has no intent on shuttering Everquest at any … Continue reading “John Smedley on Everquest, Free To Play, Vita, and More”
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 … Continue reading “Week In Review: Keep Your Origin Account Safe Edition”
I told you I’d eventually hit the Sunday deadline for Week in Review. I’ve found through MMO Fallout the deadlines I set for myself often conflict with what I’ve heard referred to as a “lack of respect for authority and tendency toward inappropriate analogies.” Personally I equate the situation more to the first few seasons … Continue reading “Week In Review: Trust In The Community Edition”
I got some time to play with Warhammer: Wrath of Heroes, and the more I begin to doubt that certain Mythic employees will have much in terms of career options should the time come that they no longer report to EA/Mythic. Consider that Warhammer Online is one of the primary reasons (including All Points Bulletin) … Continue reading “Week In Review: Not A Real Doctor Edition”
здравствуйте! I’ve been spending the past few days not on homework or work-work, on figuring out exactly how I want to inject videos into MMO Fallout, as I’ve promised many times in the past. My first video, that I’ll hopefully release in the next week or so, is a quick look at the Sony Authenticator. Since … Continue reading “Week In Review: Tardiness Is Not Tolerated Edition”
Philip Reisberger, Chief Games Officer at Bigpoint Games, is a complicated man. I want to hug him, because he turned Battlestar Galactica into an MMO. But Reisberger’s company is consistently cruising for a patriotic wedgie, talking down the status of companies whose chump change amounts to more than Bigpoint Game’s quarterly revenue. Last November, Heiko … Continue reading “Bigpoint Games Says Better Call The Cleaning Lady…”
Did you know that the price of video games has actually come down over the years despite cost in production going up? If you’re like me, you will very clearly remember paying fifty dollars retail for new games all the way back even before the days of the Nintendo 64. Fifty dollars was the choice … Continue reading “What Happened This Week: TOR Finally Killing WoW Edition”
