There have been some rumors recently on the internet about the next xbox? Who cares as many would say, but the real question is why not be curious about where the future of gaming is going? Many say that we as a consumer may start purchasing full blown console games over the internet by 2010 …

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 …
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 …
Syp over at Waaagh! has a post up about the CE for Warhammer being sold out by this coming Monday, possibly. This got me to thinking about my previous experience with a Collector’s Edition and whether or not it’s worth the money to buy the …
Electronic Arts announced they are releasing the MySims franchise to PC this October. Previously, the game was only available on consoles but they’ve gone and built a PC version and beefed it up with some new features. Ohhh the humanity! Why did they have to go and do this to me? I’ll admit I got …
You see the ads for these two game economy wreckers all the time - power leveling and gold farming. Hell you probably see one right now - wink wink.
World of Warcraft is a good example of how powerleveling and gold farming damage a games economy. Now don’t get me wrong, farming in a game for …
The first of dungeon to be announced by the Warhammer Online team is The Bastion Stair. Both the Order and Destruction are drawn to this source of Chaos power. The Order will …
When I first saw the trailers and game play footage of Diablo 3, I must say I was impressed. Finally things in the game looked the way I thought they should have. I was especially impressed with the end boss characters being much larger, looking more like you think a boss should look. Mean.
But there …

In my ever growing quest to see some changes take place in our fast-becoming stale MMORPG template I’m going to publish more and more ideas. Out of the box thinking is what it will take to spice up upcoming titles and give them something different from the World of Warcraft mold so many games seem to be …
As the title of the post makes obvious, this was a very slow gaming weekend. I messed around a bit in Call of Duty 4, working toward getting my gold AK-47 (I have no idea why I want one) and spent an hour or so in World of Warcraft leveling up my mage to level …
I was just reading an article by Kevin Murnane over at Massively about greed. Kevin’s right in that there is a lot of greed in MMO’s - friends stabbing friends in the back for epic loot and the like. With that in mind I started reflecting on end game content and …
Warhammer Online is definitely garnering more and more of my attention lately with the let down of Age of Conan and the repetition of World of Warcraft making me look for new horizons. Yesterday afternoon I was reading some Ten Ton Hammer interviews with WAR developer Mark Jacobs about the …
Well, that feels like a waste of $90. I have this fancy box, this cool leather map and a game account I’m no longer going to play - at least not in the near future. Age of Conan for me was a fun break away from the normal MMORPG in it’s unique style of combat …
Dice and Electronic Arts are sitting on a virtual gold mine with the battlefield series as a possible candidate for the next big MMO. Overall the vast majority of gamer’s fall into one of three main categories: MMORPG, FPS and Strategy. With a title like the Battlefield series that originated in the FPS and already …
I remember the thoughts that ran through my head when I first started reading pre-release info about Star Wars Galaxies, my first step into the MMORPG world. Before this I was an FPS ’stat’ whore and competition shooter. I only played first person shooters, mostly in the Delta Force series from Novalogic back in those …
Getting back to the MMORPG Cookie Cutter topic, to keep MMORPG’s from getting stale and give developers a fresh perspective on things gamers want, I started thinking about some interesting ways to bone up on features in new and even some current MMORPG titles. Now, these aren’t necessarily a major …
If you’re looking for a bit of fun this weekend I’ve found something you may be interested in that’s off the beaten path. The staff of writers, leads and columnists over at Massively.com are hosting their first get together being sponsored by …
I recently read a few posts at various other sites talking about how all the MMORPG’s coming out as of late have been pretty well cookie cutter games. In other words, the same game repackaged with a few ’stand out’ features. Like AoC for example, a lot of people are comparing that to WoW in …
Once again Massively delivers a unique insight to the world of warfare in their series in which they talk about the dynamics of attacking keeps and fortresses in the upcoming MMO Warhammer Online.

For the past 7 years, the game …

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 …
A few patches ago I began getting consistant crashes when exiting AoC asking me to report the error to Funcom. It was annoying but I was pretty much just living with it until I found a fix posted online by Lefty1117 (gotta give props). Basically the problem seems to be caused by right permission on …
Trying to build on the popularity of WAR in the Oceanic community, EA announced recently that they’ll be hosting a dedicated Oceanic server on mainland Australia. The server will be available for play to anyone in the world but is primarily designed to offer gamers in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and other Southeast Asian territories …
AoC is a very polished and bright game. The launch was the best I’ve ever seen in an MMO with smooth gameplay and a fairly small number of major issues. No launch is ever likely to be perfect. That being said, the Early Access was disheartening to say the least. If you are in the …
Seeing as how so many people seem to be onboard with the Early Access in AoC, I thought it would be cool to get a group of people together for some mayhem early on. The big debate for me was whether to go into a PVE or PVP server. I read Tim’s post …
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. …
I will delve more into my past gaming experiences in great length a little later, for now I haven’t been doing a ton of gaming thanks to life getting in the way. I’m not going to complain at all, I recently married a wonderful woman and in the process gained a new addition to the …
I’ve been playing games online since before the internet was a household term. Guess that kind of ‘dates’ me a bit, but just want to give you an idea of the spectrum of games I’ve played. I started out with text or ASCII based games on local bulletin boards running on an 300 baud modem. …
