If you head over to Direct2Drive, you will find a number of MMOs on sale for the time being. As there hasn’t been much in terms of information from Direct2Drive, I have no indication as to whether or not these are permanent price slashes, or temporary publisher price cuts. Either way, check out some great … Continue reading “Prices Slashed On Direct2Drive”

Moral of the story? Don’t bring your puffball net and toad mount to a gun and … Continue reading “No Elves: Global Agenda Video #2”
Back in my day, our games didn’t have save features. Sure, there were a select few that had the ability to save, but otherwise if you wanted to finish the game, you were going to sit down and play through, or leave your console on and risk overheating. Once save functions became more prevalent and … Continue reading “Permanent Death Is Meaningless Death”

As the God of death, when Dhuum takes your soul, there is no coming back, you are banished from the world of Guild Wars … Continue reading “Guild Wars Mass Ban, Disbanding”
So it’s been a bad month or so for MMO servers. We know that Vanguard is on the verge of server mergers, and that Aion is to shut down several servers, and that Everquest 2 may be getting some servers shut down on the horizon. New word comes from Sony that beginning June 20th, Sony … Continue reading “Sorry Grandpa: Everquest Server Merges Coming”
We all have those MMOs that we’ve quit for various reasons: Lack of depth, that one annoying feature, lag, abundance of bugs. I, to set an example, recently started playing Fallen Earth again, which I had quit shortly before picking up Aion in late October.
