Hellgate: London. It’s easy to forget that this game is still running in the east, and that T3Fun has been working to bring the title back at some point between now and the point where hell actually does take over earth.

“I’m pretty happy this company won the bidding, as I think they have the resources and the pre-existing audience to help make EE a success.” One of our last messages from Sparkplay CEO Matt Mihaly before the Earth Eternal servers and website shut down in what feels like a year ago. Speculation has been high since … Continue reading “Earth Eternal Buyer Likely Time Warner”
It’s time to change the MMO Calendar, which can only mean it’s time for another Looking Back, Moving Forward. September brought upon us life, as well as death, and a whole lot of free to play. It’s been over a month since Earth Eternal shut down, following Sparkplay’s demise. Even though the game was sold … Continue reading “Looking Back, Moving Forward: September 2010”
Earlier this month, Lord of the Rings Online went hybrid-cash-shop in North America, with Codemasters’ European venture trailing behind due to perceived issues regarding preparation for this enormous event that would undoubtedly bring a major influx in population to the lands of Middle Earth.
