Today is the day we look at January and say “See you next year!” Yes it can only be February, and February can only mean another Everquest expansion is releasing. February starts off with two titles releasing: Global Agenda and Star Trek Online, on the first and second respectively. An important thing to remember about … Continue reading “Hello, February!”
Whatever you think about Sony, you can’t deny the deal they have going for their titles. For the price of only two MMOs per month, you can access virtually any Sony game you own. Everquest, Everquest 2, Pirates of the Burning Sea, Planetside, Star Wars Galaxies, Vanguard, Free Realms, and that console Everquest game. That’s … Continue reading “Why Not A Cryptic Pass? NCsoft Pass? Turbine Pass!”
Inspiring rivalry between companies is one thing, but if given the opportunity, I would probably spur on a competition of who can think of the best way to get players giving to charity. To say that such a competition exists is probably morally reprehensible, but one can dream, in the form of “This is How … Continue reading “CCP: No, THIS Is How You Charity”
With all the commotion(?) over Phantasy Star Universe biting the dust this March, one might think three MMOs shutting down would be enough for the first half of 2010. Odds are none of those people play Cities XL. In an open letter to the community, Monte Crisco emailed all current subscribers to let them know … Continue reading “Cities XL To Shut Down This March”
Technically, The Chronicles of Spellborn never went anywhere. Back in MMO Fallout’s infancy, I wrote about Acclaim taking over the MMO, with the intentions of reviving the game and relaunching it the next year with a free to play, microtransaction model. Until then, of course, Chronicles of Spellborn would be completely free to play. Well, … Continue reading “Chronicles of Spellborn 2.0 On Its Way!”

Update: For reasons I was unable to uncover, this article was originally published as a blank slate. Although I lost what I had written, I was able to recover the original draft and reupload it. Remember to always keep a backup of your work! “Gonna kill myself.” -Any MMOer How many times have you typed … Continue reading “Jagex: Making Threats? Get The Police…”
Perhaps I shouldn’t have made the connection between Jagex and Evony several months ago, because I don’t think I’ll be able to play Jagex’s latest title to go into open beta, War of Legends, without thinking of microtransactions, gold farming companies, and breasts. War of Legends plays out much like Evony, and similar titles. Players … Continue reading “Jagex Dips Into Microtransactions…”
Those of you who follow MMO Fallout know I like to go off of the paved path every now and then and have a little fun. I noticed the following advertisement for Nodiatis, a free to play browser based MMO. Being the kind of person who clicks on every ad I see, I naturally signed … Continue reading “Why Not MMOFallout? Nodiatis”
While logging into Lord of the Rings Online several days ago, I noticed the above warning on the main page. Turbine is banning anyone who exploits a bug with the skirmish system, without warning (no slap on the wrist) or appeal. They can tell who is doing it, and are watching for those who attempt … Continue reading “Rules: Why Do They Need To Be Repeated?”
