Politically motivated trash writing..Blockchain is just a technology. It's not a bogeyman. The reason it's so contentious is because it proposes to solve current issues with global financial and payment systems. Dissapointed that MMORPG supports …

Let's hope Gamigo has some creative heads on this game
I'd personally love to play a game that limited play…
Originally posted by Lord.Bachus I think you are currently blinded by the ballance, as there needs to be ballance in things... And without combat, no current MMO gamer would come to this world.
I think you're wrong. There are other ways t…
I think I have to agree. A F2P, pvp only mechwarrior seems just a little bit lazy. Why create a combat engine, and environment to play in, and then not create a solo story to go along with it. Sounds like they're just trying to make a quick buck …
I'm not sure this is the best way to fight RM traders. Blizzard is creating a legitimate, secondary market that will have a direct effect on character progression. Regardless of whether or not Blizzard makes money off sales, or is selling directly…
Very articulate and well written post. I have to ask the question though, because I am curious from a player perspective and also from a business standpoint: why are you writing at mmorpg.com? Specifically, who's point of view are you representin…
There's not really enough information in the article to speculate. It just say they're in talks. One would have to wonder, if the article is true; who initiated those talks, CCP or Sony?
I think perma-death, coupled with a time-intensive training system would solve the problem, but here's hoping a developer has the balls to try something that risky. Model your skill/level system on a 24 hour day, 12 month year and that would elimin…
Interesting news. I'd heard they were hiring professional testers for their Beta? I assume they're doing this because they don't want the public to solve much of the games secrets before release. I wonder how they plan to stress test. I think if…
The richest rewards are those that immerse a player in story, removing that person from real life for the duration of his play. I think that's what they're trying to accomplish here, but to be realistic, i don't see how it can ever be fully success…
That does sound ominous. I don't buy into the Vaporware rants normally. But I wonder if the paranoia crowd may actually have something here for once. According to that legal filing, they want Netdevil to fully ante up (in escrow), or fully rescin…
Title: Immortals and Men
Concept: End game
Origin: I used to MUD at lot, back in my college days (before Everquest 1 - yes I'm showing my age). Back then, MUDs came in only a few flavors, and most began your adventuring career in a little ci…
On their website ( http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/ ), under their "About" section it states: Release Date: 2010
So sometime in the next 9 months. Someone here said October and for the same reasons listed I'd have to agree. They're already sig…
I don't think folks realize the level of game change that's coming. Planetary exploration, infrastructure and resource exploitation will utterly alter the way EVE plays out from that day forward. Measuring the value of a star system will be comple…
Well you have story immersion and RP, as examples of different directions a game can take. But in an MMO both are hard to implement. Take the Baulder's Gate series, or any other good game with a solid, immersive storyline and add a group of multip…
I wouldn't mind AoC myself. Thing about the game that dissuades me is the server downgrade. They went from something like 43 servers to 16. I may actually pick the game up at a later date, but right now I don't think I want to invest my money int…
Just read the re-review of Vanguard. Sounds like there are some issues if you're running Vista (which I am). However, I think I'd be willing to give it a go anyway. EQ2.. Not too sure about this. I hear a lot of good things about EQ 2 but I'm r…
