Join any internet discussion on Warhammer Online, outside of the realm of Warhammer Online’s forums, and odds are someone will eventually ask “when is Warhammer Online going free to play?” or something of the like. Despite Mythic’s claims that Warhammer Online is still profitable, there has been a vocal push to the game expanding the … Continue reading “Warhammer Online: Not Going F2P”
October here on MMO Fallout is all about free to play (a topic I intend to touch upon this month) vs pay to play, but I wanted to start this month off by giving an analogy between the two systems. By this point, I don’t think anyone takes free to play verbatim, as in not … Continue reading “F2P Vs P2P: Making The Food Comparison”
Those of you who purchased APB before its demise are likely aware that Electronic Arts, as distributor, is offering out free games if you can prove that you once owned the crashed MMO. Over multiple forums, players are reporting getting everything from Bioware bucks (that can be used to buy full games), EA store credit, … Continue reading “Preordered APB? Electronic Arts Has No Obligation To Help You”
City of Heroes may be six years old, but NCsoft is still committed to keeping the old super geezer alive. Last month saw the release of the latest full expansion pack, Going Rogue, allowing both heroes and villains alike to grey in the lines between heroism and villainy. This past April brought in Ultra Mode, … Continue reading “City of Heroes/Villains/Rogues Says Welcome Back, Weekend!”

Those of you on Global Agenda’s mailing list will likely have received the above email, taking a sharp stick and poking the still-warm remains of All Points Bulletin, and inviting its … Continue reading “Global Agenda: Hey APB Players, We’re Still Up”

I write this article knowing full well of the rumors that Epic Games is in talks to buy All Points Bulletin and either strip it to its core to figure out its secrets (Sylar style from Heroes) or relaunch the title under its own rule, but I want to make a distinction. No matter what … Continue reading “All Points Bulletin: What Happened”
Undercroft is not a new game, by any means. In fact, it was developed and sold through the Apple store for Ipod/Iphone/Ipad up until last month, for a few bucks. Rake In Grass, the developer, sold the game and IP to another game studio, and I’ll give you one guess as to which studio bought … Continue reading “Jagex Goes Old School With Undercroft”
In most of my articles about Cryptic Studios, I talk about how despite the fact that the company is always rushing up yelling to players to give them more feedback, they usually end up only fixing the issues that should have been blatantly obvious in the first place. Other than the do-or-die fixes, most other … Continue reading “Cryptic Studios Repents(?) With Circular Logic”
A big thank you to Valerie, who tipped me off on this before the official announcement. I know what you’re saying, “Omali! You lying sack of crap! Dave Georgeson just said last month that Everquest 2 was not going free to play!” You would be correct, partially. Today’s news brings the announcement that Sony Online … Continue reading “Everquest II Heading Free To Play…Partially.”
