As a partial webmaster myself (that is, I run a website, not a professional at web services), nothing makes the belly chuckle like an anonymous person who is likely not old enough to drive, writing a comment threatening to hack (hax) the website and ruin my life. Often, such a problem can be fixed by … Continue reading “Frogster Account Security Compromised: 3.5 Million Accounts Hacked”
Back in 2007, in an attempt to combat rampant real world trading that threatened to knock Runescape out of existence, Jagex implemented a drastic series of updates that resulted in a dramatic change for the way Runescape functioned. Items were assigned numerical values, and trade restricted based on those values. Players no longer dropped items … Continue reading “Runescape: Clever Publicity Stunt To Bring Back The Wilderness”
When Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment was still filing bankruptcy while claiming that they never had the resources to complete Stargate Worlds, we were treated to Stargate Resistance, a lobby based shooter more akin to a four-classed Team Fortress than the MMO we were all anticipating. Stargate Resistance was supposed to be the cash cow to bring … Continue reading “Stargate Resistance To Shut Down This January”
Alganon has no subscription, and technically doesn’t even have a client price. You can download the game and play it for free, although doing so will incur some penalties on your account. For instance, you won’t be able to create a guild, access chat channels past say/tell/group/guild, get the last 20 levels, and you will … Continue reading “Alganon Special Pack On Sale”
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”
Over here at MMO Fallout, we follow the mantra of publishing and forwarding ego-driven banter, and generally for the sole purpose of its comedic value. Much like how most humorous situations begin with a simple “hey, look what I can do,” the MMO world is no exception to events that begin with high self esteem … Continue reading “Poop Talk: Battlestar Galactica Vs The Old Republic”
I don’t need to test my stress, because I already know it is far above the healthy rate for someone my age, or really any human being who is not half-robot. Back in the days when Perpetual Entertainment was not bankrupt and still making MMOs, their two staple titles were Star Trek Online and Gods … Continue reading “Gods and Heroes: Testing The Stress, Still Alive”
When Bill Roper left Cryptic Studios, I couldn’t help but feel that great change was to come to the world of Cryptic’s two MMOs: Champions Online and Star Trek Online. It isn’t that Roper is necessarily a bad person, just that he loved cash shops with the kind of passion that can only be found … Continue reading “Champions Online Heading Free To Play”
Back in my “autopsy” of The Matrix Online, I mentioned that the game’s poor reception had a lot to do with timing: the game being released in a time where the third movie had come out and did its part trashing public interest in the franchise. Adding to that, the game was never … Continue reading “Relevance In IP: Relevance In Market”
Fun Fact: The last Project V13 article was almost five months ago (June 27th). When I read the latest description of Fallout Online, it reminded me of Xsyon in nature. Being an MMO, the game can’t give you a simple task like finding a chip to fix the water recycling, or escaping the vault to … Continue reading “News On Fallout Online? Hurray!”
