SWG pre-CU for crafting. SWG production offered qualitative differentiation beyond any game I know of with the exception of the recently launched Mortal Online.
In EVE, every crafted item is identical in quality with those of the same type so ther…
Another gem from my favorite MMORPG columnist.
I believe that Slineer pointed this out on page 1 of the comments, but I would like to confirm that Mortal Online, although it is still in beta, has an extremely deep crafting system. There are nu…

How much of your excitement is based on potential and hope?
Some of it, but let's be clear. Excitement about future events is always based on potential and hope. Some of my excitement is based on the hope that …
Fantastic article Mr. Jennings. It makes me hope that some course of events puts you at the helm of the next big MMO project. Maybe then we would see the product we've been yearning for.
Neat post, but I don't think many people in this forum are going to get what you're talking about.
The fact is, gamers are those of us who have become pathologically bored with the physically perceivable reality. We already seek to escape to alter…

What a neat concept. I know it is quite a bit different, but it reminds me of when SWG released Jump to Light Speed, except instead of going from terrestrial to celestial, it is the reverse.
As for it being a console game, I do not get why that sh…

An MMO Feature Index would be lovely if done right: a list of major features found in MMOs along with either yes/no, or some kind of quantified scale indicating the extent to which each feature is found in the game, or even the quality of implimenta…

No. The terms "sandbox" and "FFA PvP" are NOT co-dependant, in any way, shape, or form.
I think you should explain why you think that. What exactly…

I'm convinced noone knows what the fuck a sandbox game is on this forum.
Tell you what if a developer considers its game a sandbox then we should all agree it's a sandbox.

You're sort of contradicting yourself. FFA PVP stands for FREE for all player vs player. 'Free' being the operative word. The freedom to kill whoever you want is a huge piece of the …

Ultima Online and Asheron's Call (specifically Darktide) are realistically the only two true sandbox MMO's to ever hit the market.

I think that nearly all video games simulate the real world to some extent.
