“It’s a persistent game, it has persistent player data, the character grows and gets better over time. I think most gamers expect that now anyway, but this was a design I’d done a while ago. I think it’s pretty valid.” John Romero is one of the industry’s finest, even if he no longer works with … Continue reading “John Romero Making MMO-Ish Shooter”

I hate reporting on MMOs shutting down. For how much the market is saturated, each game holds a special place in at least one person’s heart, and no matter how unmarketable the title was there will always be a group to mourn its loss. It almost goes without saying that when a kid’s MMO is … Continue reading “Lego Universe And Autism, Or, A Shattered Heart”

Today, the developer announced that 700 accounts have been suspended as a first warning. … Continue reading “Sony: So Much For A Final Warning”
Coming on the heels of yet another announcement to ban bots, Jagex has formally announced Project Clusterfutterer.

I thought I smelled something burning while on the drive back home today. Games like Eve Online fight gold farming by allowing people to purchase game time and sell it for in-game currency. This serves the purpose of keeping the big players playing (for free) while allowing people who need an influx of cash to … Continue reading “World Of Warcraft Legitimizes Gold Buying, Tradeable Cash Shop Pets”

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”
MMO Fallout wouldn’t be what it is today (and that isn’t say much as it is) without the inspiration I receive from reading forum posts, so this week’s Week In Review is dedicated to all of the completely non-biased people out there who registered at MMORPG.com to explain to me why x-company is a scam … Continue reading “What Happened This Week: Love Your Thread Title Edition”
