Here’s a question for this week: If you could sit down and talk to anyone in the gaming industry, who would you talk to and what would you ask them? Over here at MMO Fallout, I came upon that decision rather easily. The Who: Free to play/cash shop developers. The What: Their business model. Thanks … Continue reading “What Happened This Week: That’s Not Linguine Edition”

This weeks question is for those of you who have quit an MMO (so virtually all of you). What level of interaction do you keep with your estranged title? Do you forget all about it and move on to your next title of choice, or are you one of those people who turns on jihad … Continue reading “What Happened This Week: 4/15-4/21 Edition”
I have a question for all of you who read this introductory paragraph. Have you ever rage-quit an MMO? I haven’t. I’ve quit more MMOs in the past than I can count, but they’ve never been out of a fit of rage. Single player games, yes, I’ve stopped playing because every time I played I … Continue reading “What Happened This Week: 5/1-5/14 Edition”
It’s easy to be indifferent towards gold farmers when they aren’t affecting your choice of spots, so for boss hunters and high level NPC farmers in Runescape, brushing off the effects of gold farmers is a lot harder once those same bots start overrunning your high level training areas, as seen in the above video. When … Continue reading “More Bots In Runescape: High Level Edition”
Back in March, I mentioned a Warhammer Online campaign on Facebook with simple terms: Once the WAR Facebook profile hit five thousand likes, the price of the RvR Booster Double Pack would be dropped (permanently) to $9.99. At the time, if my memory servers correctly, Warhammer carried around fourteen hundred (1,400) likes. I also compared … Continue reading “WAR: Facebook Update, And First Impression Thoughts…”
The video above showcases just one of the many sites in Runescape where botters (almost all of them gold farmers) are farming a mini-game. Now, in this particular mini-game, players must run through a maze, avoiding the creatures that roam it, otherwise they are teleported back to the start. A Splinter Cell stealth-style game. One … Continue reading “Runescape: Once Again, Filled With Gold Farmers…”
I’ve been involved in more player moderator/volunteer positions with online games than I can count, and one aspect that has always remained the same is the expectation of involvement. If a player asks for help and I ignore them, I stood to be fired. If there was a player cheating and I did nothing about … Continue reading “Runescape: No, We Don’t Vet Our Moderators”

I was going about my daily Facebook activities (posting creepy Woody pictures), and lo and behold, I came across the following ad: You’ll notice that this ad links to “secure.jagex.com,” and I quite honestly expected that this was either A.) a scam ad that managed to get through, or B.) Jagex was advertising on Facebook, … Continue reading “Frogster: Misleading, Possibly Fraudulent Facebook Ads”
