It is with a heavy heart that I have to say goodbye, or at least goodbye for now. We simply cannot deliver the game you deserve with the resources we have. We never quit trying, even when hope faded, because you – our community – kept us inspired. It is a sad day for sandbox … Continue reading “Dominus Is Dead, Announces Pitchblack Games”
Check out Part 2: A Parent’s Guide Check out Part 3: Gallery You often hear about MMOs being referred as “another world,” or “another life,” or even a “second life.” We’ve referred to games as virtual themeparks, virtual sandboxes, and any hybrid of the two.

That being said, the folks over at Goblin Works have piqued my interest with the announcement that death in Pathfinder will function similar to the old Everquest corpse walk, and yes I just used the words “upcoming … Continue reading “Pathfinder Online Invokes Everquest/RuneScape Death Mechanics”
I would like to use today to announce my recruitment for the official MMO Fallout guild presence in the upcoming sandbox MMO Dominus. Now as you all know, the traditional MMO Fallout guild presence involves little presence, organization, or the actual existence of a guild. Rather, we log in at random times, don’t have much … Continue reading “A Bounty Reward System Sounds Delightfully Prone To Abuse”
Too many colons in the title! During the time Bioware wasn’t busy absorbing every sub-developer of Electronic Arts, the company was busy working away at their first and arguably one of the most risky entrances into the MMO genre. The Old Republic is the labor of love of a company that has never put out … Continue reading “Why Aren’t You Playing: Star Wars: The Old Republic”
