Last December, I talked briefly about Cartoon Network’s MMO, Fusion Fall. For the fact that Cartoon Network boasted seven million registered players, I noted that the line between registered and active was thick, in the case of public relations, thick enough that if a company is showing off registered users compared to active users, all … Continue reading “Fusion Fall: Free To Play April 19th”
I think I’ve directly spoken of Roma Victor once on MMO Fallout, not because of any malice towards the title, but because the only newsworthy piece I came across in regards to the title was the act of crucifying cheaters. And much like any other image I find, it was subsequently beaten and overused for … Continue reading “Roma Victor to Shut Down: RV2 May Die”
Last month I talked about Aventurine’s plans for Darkfall this year, more specifically the focus on making the new player experience much more of a soft palm and not a bronze-knuckled fist. I also raised concern that this is creating speculation in the Darkfall community that this will bring updates along the lines of the … Continue reading “Darkfall: Newbie Protection Program”
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!”
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…”
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?”
Darkfall is coming upon its first anniversary, and two expansions out the door is already looking at expansion number three. Dubbed “Darkfall 2010” the expansion looks to focus on everything. Armor dying, tons of new craftable items, more impact with the dynamic lore system, death animations, more PvP and PvE opportunities, better drops, wandering mobs, … Continue reading “Darkfall 2010: Not Just A Year This Year!”
What is the difference between Fallen Earth and Aion? Ok, sure, there’s the wings, the combat, the currency, the crafting system, the point of view, the lore, the engine, and pretty much everything else. But what is really different about Fallen Earth? Given up? Fallen Earth doesn’t have the same problem with gold farmers that … Continue reading “Fallen Earth: Take A Note, NCsoft.”
We enter January as 2009 comes to a close, we look at the year before us, and the year ahead, and remember that life goes on, no matter what happens in the present. I’ve dubbed 2010 the blue moon year because it has the pleasure of beginning with a blue moon, an event that won’t … Continue reading “2010: The Blue Moon Year”
