browser MMO – MMO Fallout

Earth Eternal is one of those MMOs I talked about mainly on my Facebook page, which mostly occurred last year when I was in the beta. The MMO has always been tiny, be it the furry inhabitants that populate the world, or the teeny developer that created it, but not the client that ran it. Earth Eternal is like WoW-Lite, I believe I referred to it as, but injected with a full syringe of vitamin-D (The D stands for D’aww).

So, of course, I’m saddened to say Earth Eternal will likely be shutting down fairly soon. In an open letter to the community, Sparkplay CEO Matt Mihaly announced that the team has been cut down to two people, one of them being him, and the latest attempt to sell the game has failed. Although Earth Eternal is up for auction, it is probable that no one will buy up the title.

“I will keep you updated as to what is going to happen with Earth Eternal, but in all likelihood we won’t know until late on Friday whether someone is going to buy EE and keep it running or not. Let’s hope for the best!”

Here’s hoping for the best.

More on Earth Eternal as it appears.

Nodiatis — "Fluid and strategic combat."

Those of you who follow MMO Fallout know I like to go off of the paved path every now and then and have a little fun. I noticed the following advertisement for Nodiatis, a free to play browser based MMO. Being the kind of person who clicks on every ad I see, I naturally signed up for the game and started playing. What I found was quite an enjoyable game, but I’m not here to advertise for the game.

Of course I am kidding. What I noticed, however, is that the company used the community’s own spots for its advertising. The SomethingAwful forums and one of their very own players. Naturally, my first thought went to “why not an MMO Fallout spot?” I think we can make this work and who knows? Maybe you’ll see that MMO Fallout name while browsing through Wikia pages. This calls for some short, spiffy one liners.

Nodiatis stands out among its peers. Featuring fluid and strategic combat. 26 unique and engaging classes. Cheaters beware, your days are numbered.

All jokes aside, this is an enjoyable game, with a community small enough that cheaters can be named and shamed individually when they are banned. The game is regularly updated, with fixes and new content, and the developers are engaged with the community, and even reward people who successfully report bugs.

I actually did some more research on the title and found that they have an option to make your character a full murderer, allowing you to attack and kill players and steal their item at any time, with a limit: If you die, there is no resurrection. Want to play that way? You’d better bring all of your cards to the table. Although it did give me a final spot, one I hope Glitchless LLC has the humor to choose if they do go along with my master plan:

“More cajones than any other MMO.”

And you can quote me on that.
