It’s been almost a year since I wrote the MMO Turing test and, looking back, perhaps I didn’t make the best choice of words. My goal at the time was to distinguish games with a real future from those that couldn’t cut it in the market, owing in part to the fact I don’t like throwing … Continue reading “Let's Revisit The Turing Test: Five Years For Longevity”
April Fool’s is one of my favorite days of the year, because I love seeing what jokes companies will come up with, my personal favorite being Google’s yearly jokes. Today isn’t even over, and I think the award for the best joke goes to ArenaNet with Guild Wars, who not only created a trailer and page … Continue reading “April Fool’s 2011 Roundup”

In the past, Everquest has been one of the few MMOs to dabble in, shall we say, unconventional alternate rule servers. Sure, most games you come across nowadays have some combination of PvE, PvP, and RP, and you can’t get much better than a PvP-RP server, when striking someone with your sword as you scream … Continue reading “Age of Conan: Loot PvP Server Coming!”
Those of you who follow indie-MMOs may remember that Xsyon was supposed to launch back in 2010, around March in fact, but the title was delayed by around a year because of the need for more content. Since then, the game has received a lot more publicity, a substantially (albeit understandably still small) increased following, … Continue reading “Xsyon Prelude Is Coming Today”
A few days ago, I wrote about how Sony was reactivating inactive Everquest accounts until the 21st of the month in lieu of the time locked progression server, the aptly named Fippy Darkpaw, renowned for his ability to run headlong into guards far higher than his own level, assuredly the first Leroy Jenkins before Leroy was Leroy. … Continue reading “Everquest: Second Progression Server Tomorrow”
Damn you, Sony! With the impending release of the Everquest progression server, people like myself are no doubt trying their hardest not to resubscribe just to try the game out one more time, a feat that (at least I am finding) is proving hard to keep up. And much like the insensitive alcoholic who shows … Continue reading “Everquest Reactivation Campaign”

When I’m not fielding calls from the president of MMO Land asking me how to save the world from the evils of free to play scams, I’m generally fielding calls from frantic fanboys foaming at the mouth over the latest MMO to come out based on their favorite IP, and how it will revolutionize the … Continue reading “Warhammer 40k: No Time For Your Stale-Ass Quests”
Being an MMO Journalist affords one the opportunity to make fun of a company, yell at them for a stupid mistake, and then praise them all in one day, or even in one article. Given that I’ve managed to fake myself as a trusted journalist this far, I think I can afford to take some … Continue reading “Communication 101: STOP DELETING MY ****ING THREAD”
