So many people are playing Final Fantasy XIV that Square stopped selling it.
Jagged Alliance Online recently launched on Steam, and suffice to say the guys over at Cliffhanger Productions are very happy with the results. In a press release sent out today, Cliffhanger Productions noted that in the three weeks since its launch, Jagged Alliance Online has skyrocketed into the top five most popular DLC products on Steam, pulling ahead of some of the more recently launched MMOs. As a result, the developer has been forced to increase server capacity in order to contain the mass of new players. Wolfgang Duhr, member of the Board of Directors of publisher bitComposer, had some words of praise:
“We are really happy about the rapid success of Jagged Alliance Online and would like to congratulate the Cliffhanger team on the successful relaunch.”
Cliffhanger Productions recently finished a Kickstarter for their second MMO in development, Shadowrun Online.

Wizard101 launched two years ago to the wide open arms of children and some adults alike. Since then, the game has seen numerous major updates, including player housing (something many MMOs still can’t attest to), a fairly intuitive and advanced pet system, among other updates. For the kid’s MMO, one that oddly enough has a “death magic” class, Wizard 101 has been skyrocketing to popularity while running off of a freemium payment model (Players can play for free, pay a subscription, or purchase perks individually using a cash shop).
Kingsisle Entertainment’s game has become so popular, in fact, that the servers are being bogged down with the sheer number of people trying to log in, resulting in this week’s announcement that a temporary limit to players will be instated until server issues can be fixed.
Given the titles that are closing up shop, or consolidating a large portion of their servers, it’s good to see at least one title that is doing well enough to have troubles accommodating all of their players. More on Wizard 101 as it appears.
