Warhammer 40k Online is one of those titles you don’t read too much about, except for plenty of speculation on the part of the public. Announced three years ago, we know now that the MMO will be slated for release in 2012 (Competing year with the Fallout MMO Beta). I’ve wanted to do an article on the … Continue reading “Warhammer 40k MMO: Little Information, High Hopes”
I have good news and I have bad news for you Cryptic fans out there, and in favor of the old journalistic value of stringing you along, I will start with the good news. This news concerns Star Trek Online, which launched just yesterday. Despite the fanfare of the vocal minority on the Star Trek … Continue reading “Star Trek Online Launches to One Million Minus One Community Manager”
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!”
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!”
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…”
MMOs sell better than you would think, but in the realm of hundreds of competing, non subscription based games, making it on to the best selling list at any medium is a feat taken almost exclusively by preorders and World of Warcraft. So despite what people may be saying about the Star Trek Online open … Continue reading “Star Trek Online/Global Agenda/Aion Tops Sale Charts”
File this under “Odd things I uncover because my short attention span directed me away from the article I’m supposed to be writing about closed betas.” While searching through my PlayNC account to make sure I wasn’t getting charged for, say, the free months of City of Heroes I was given a couple months ago, … Continue reading “Dear Aion: I Also Accept Checks, Gifts, and Pies”
This isn’t a regularly scheduled article, but since I’m deleting the “Champions In Court” category (not much to go on nowadays), I’ve decided to give Cryptic one last hurrah, and post up a few images I have sitting in my Champions Online and Star Trek Online folders. So without further ado, ahead! (after the break).
By this time in, oh I’ll go for a long shot, 2011 we should be seeing the outcome of the battle of the titans: Four major contenders looking to bring their best and brightest to the field and answer one question: Who will dominate the MMOFPS market? Granted, two of the contenders are not actually … Continue reading “King of the MMOFPS Hill: Sony Vs CCP Vs Blizzard Vs Infinity Ward”
Earlier last year, slightly over two weeks ago to be exact, I reported the announcement that Champions Online would be joining the unlimited beta group, releasing the tutorial for free forever. Players have the opportunity to play through the first fifteen levels, fight off the Qulaar invasion, and apparently making me look like a bribed … Continue reading “Champions Online Unlimited Demo Getting More Unlimited?”
