A week ago I got that special email from the makers of Mythos inviting me to join their closed beta playground. Initially I had to create an account with the usual stuff; user ID, password, email, and etc. No problems on that end registration was simple and didn’t require any credit card information. Next came [...]

With the atom bomb that Mythic Entertainment dropped yesterday about the massive cuts for Warhammer Online it’s leaving many WAR fans in an emotional fog and just as many WAR haters saying, “I told you so”. It is a lot to take in for sure, I still can’t quite wrap my mind around whether or [...]

Mark Jacobs announced some good news and some bad news for Mythic’s upcoming Warhammer Online.  Well, he announced some good news and alluded to other good news, heh.  First we’ll start with the good news, the bit he alluded to:  Warhammer Online won’t be delayed, probably.
 
The other good news, the part he actually did announce [...]

Major console systems like the Nintendo Wii, the Sony Playstation platform and Microsoft’s X-Box 360 all seemed to be suffering from the same affliction that has hit our beloved MMORPG genre of PC games - no or low risk game design.  Games like the Grand Theft Auto series are to the console as games like [...]

I’ve been receiving a lot of requests for help from people experiencing problems with the black screen issue in Age of Conan in response to my post on the issue.  But now I’ve also been getting a lot of complaints of people freezing or locking up sometime around the boat scene or character creation screen.  [...]

If you’re like me, you probably get bored playing the same game day in and day out.  You don’t necessarily want to abandon your favorite game but you want to break the cycle a bit and find a few others to play when that favorite MMO starts feeling more like work than play!  That’s how [...]

I, like a fool, have been trying the ‘/claim’ command in game to try to get my pre-order items.  I ordered the Collector’s Edition from BestBuy and have yet to receive the actual box of the game.  I finally realized today that I won’t be able to use my in-game pre-order items with the claim [...]

To [...]

I remember in pre-release videos and pictures seeing a full blown AT-AT (All Terrain Attack Transport) walking around.  This thing was HUGE!  In the video they had it walking the sands of Tatooine and for a size comparison they stuck a Krayt dragon next to it.  It dwarfed the dragon, which if you’ve played Star [...]
