Snapshots: Pearl Abyss Reveals Crimson Dawn Shots


Pearl Abyss has released some screenshots from the upcoming title Crimson Dawn, as well as some development notes players might find interesting.

Crimson Dawn began as a project to tell the backstory to Black Desert Online’s world, but grew and added more unique elements to produce new lands, elements, and characters. The character we see featured in key art is Macduff, son of Martinus. Macduff is the leader of a band of mercenaries and struggles with the responsibilities of his position. Throughout the game’s single player campaign, we will see the exploits of many mercenaries available for hire. As for the online portion, players can expect a number of features that MMORPG players have come to expect.

Crimson Dawn is expected to hit beta in 2020.

Snapshots: RuneScape Healing The Scar


Today’s snapshot comes to us from RuneScape. Today’s update to the ever-expanding MMO finally healed the scar in Lumbridge, where players assisted in a battle between gods Saradomin and Zamorak going on four years ago. Since then the battle-scarred land has been used for everything from holiday events to summer beach parties. With today’s update, a bit of life returns to the region with all sorts of rabbits and imps walking around.

Also part of today’s update is a major overhaul to the game’s wardrobe system.

MMOrning Shots: Final Fantasy XPSIV


FFXIV_PS4_140414_(6)_1397477504

Today’s MMOrning Shot comes to us from Square Enix, marking the launch of Final Fantasy XIV on the Playstation 4, not to be confused with the upcoming remake of Final Fantasy IV on the Playstation 14 set for release in 2078. If you have a Playstation 4 and enjoy a good MMO, grab a copy at your local retailer. If you don’t own a Playstation 4, you might not find much value in the disk. If you bought FFXIV on the PS3, you can go ahead and upgrade to the digital version for the PS4 at no additional fee. This offer is only valid until the end of December.

Check out MMOrning Shots every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Or don’t, I’m not a cop.

MMOrning Shots: Live Together, Die Together


2013-12-30_00001

I recently started playing through Path of Exile with a group of friends, rather than going it solo. There is an organized chaos to playing Path of Exile with a party that usually ends up with people shouting “where did you go” and a long list of expletives if someone picks up an item that they don’t need that you do. Then again, that may just be how we talk to each other.

MMOrning Shots: Perhaps Some Patience?


ffxiv_11212013_093134

As I recently discovered in Final Fantasy XIV, when you encounter a boss that seals off the room, your best bet is to not wait for all members of the party to finish the short cutscene and go on ahead without them. Not to say that  my character is useful for much other than hurling sarcastic remarks about the boss’ mother, but if I’m going to be stuck in the lobby could I at least get a coloring book and some crayons?

MMOrning Shots: My Nose Itches!


Kerran_warrior_roars_in_Ashfang

Today’s MMOrning Shot comes to us from Sony Online Entertainment with Everquest Next. With the voxel engine making everything destructible, naturally that Kerran should be able to chop those flowers down, throw them in a nice ceramic vase, and then throw the vase over the side of that cliff and watch it smash against the ground. Right? I consider myself to be a rather sensible gamer, but if Everquest Next doesn’t contain the flower pot cliff smashing, you can count me out as a buyer.

Oh, it’s free to play? That’s preposterous, I still won’t pay it.

Fallout MMO: New Screenshots


Project_V13_screenshot2

I realized shortly after creating MMO Fallout that the blog would attract some disappointed looks from people who came here under the impression that this was a fansite for a Fallout MMORPG, so it always makes me giddy when I get a chance to report on the actual Fallout MMO, codename Project V13.

To bring you up to speed, not much has happened since my last article on the Fallout MMO, and the legal battle between Interplay and Bethesda. Interplay sold the rights of the Fallout franchise to Bethesda, although Interplay retained the rights to create an MMO on the grounds that the company actually be developing actively. Earlier this year, Bethesda sued Interplay, claiming that the company did not keep up its end of the deal, and in order to gain the rights to create a Fallout MMO. Interplay claims that they are indeed working on a title.

More after the break…
