Lucasarts and BioWare are scheduled to make a big announcement next Tuesday. If you’re a gambler, place your bets on this announcement being the new Star Wars MMO that has been a big open secret for a while now; the one set in the same era as the Knights of the Old Republic games. Hopefully, …
Unless it was a stealth nerf, it hasn’t happened in the latest 3.02a patch for World of Warcraft - but it looks like it’s coming. Blizzard reps at Blizzcon let slip that soon players will be able to earn experience as well as honor in PvP. They are apparently making the change not …
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen. Today we are going to twink probably the most versatile, and overpowered twink at any bracket and in any class. The …
I finally did it, I broke down and bought my first console since the Atari 64! My wife and I were looking for something fun we could both do together at home and since there are no MMORPG’s we can both agree upon right now we started looking at consoles.
I know the Wii has been …
The hunter is clearly one of the most dominant classes across the board as a twink because of their ability to deal heavy amounts of damage from …
With the eve of WAR looming and many players chomping at the bit to get into the world of Warhammer and experience the game for themselves we take a peek at what some of the head start guys are saying about WAR! …
As the years go by, the gaming industry seems to be increasingly plagued by endless sequels and unoriginal ideas. Fallout 3. Far cry 2. Warhammer Online. Don’t get me wrong, I am also looking forward to those games. However, when was the …
It should come as no surprise that Blizzard chose this day, the day before Warhammer Online goes, erm…online to make their announcement for the release date of Wrath of the Lich King. Since WOTLK can’t share the same or close …
I’m not nearly as bad as OTHER people. Excuses, excuses. We all make them when we feel cornered if someone tries to put us on the spot - but we all know that when we get put …
Mike Morhaime no doubt has done a superb job in leading Blizzard - but I could do it better! Okay, maybe not…but I still think I could make improvements, even if ever so slight. World of Warcraft is no doubt a great …
Every single time a new, big IP based MMO gets announced or gets near to completion, everyone starts asking the same question. Is this going to be the one that kills WoW? Usually it’s accompanied by that standard image of a gravestone with …
Now that the NDA has officially come down, we are beginning day two of the Great Flood of War. WAR Bloggers across the board are posting up a ton of great information about the game with first impressions, videos, podcasts and screenshots. There’s some good tutorials out there as well as recommendations from playstyle to …
Playing a twink in the battlegrounds of World of Warcraft is a ton of fun! That’s the upside, the downside is it costs a ton of gold to do it! Even the cheap twink builds I’ve laid out for you …
It’s been a while since I’ve been over to Mythic’s website but have noticed they have released their minimum system specs for Warhammer Online. The specs are within reach of most gamers these days, but after the launch black screen disaster that was …
With latest Batman owning the box-office, pummeling Spiderman 3’s record of last year, The Dark Knight’s opening weekend sales were at $158.4 million which was even bigger than initially estimated! As the hero defeats his competition in theaters the question is now, how he and his fellow members of the DC Universe fare …
With all the rush to find out more info about the KOTOR announcement I missed that the World of Warcraft: WotLK closed beta has begun - bringing the game out of the Alpha stage and one big step closer to release. I have entered to participate in the Beta but haven’t got that email yet, …
Along with all the new content in the Wrath of the Lich King update, Blizzard will be releasing a new feature called the Achievement System. Basically, it’s a list of things a player can do to gain titles and rewards. Mostly through things they are already doing, like PVP, exploring the game world or progressing …
Mythic Entertainment released a video today showing off what some of the Realm vs Realm and Siege warfare action is going to look like …
This your first time twinking? Maybe you are getting bored with high level raids in World of Warcraft and looking for something else to do while waiting …
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 …
I’ve been leveling my fire mage now for a while off and on to get him into the 49 bracket for some serious twinkage but I’ve stopped for a bit along the way at 39 to do some battleground PVP to start working on my PVP gear for my mage. I need enough marks of …
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 the next big patch (I beleive scheduled for next week?) is going to introduce apprentice mounts for players now at level 30. To train for the ability to ride the new mounts will be 35 gold giving the lower level players a cheap boost to speed. Every 10 levels or so usually has a …
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 …
Oh the great debates we could have! I hear people complaining in World of Warcraft battlegrounds all the time when a twink kills them. They complain because he is uber powerful with all that extra gear! Being that I’m usually playing a twink myself the complaints go in one ear and out the other without …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Massively just ran a story on WAR: How to Conquer a Capital City in which they explain the end game scenario that Realm vs Realm combat in WAR focuses on. In Realm vs Realm, just about everything you do contributes …
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 …
Some cool new features coming along with the next expansion to World of Warcraft “Wrath of the Lich King”, no doubt aimed at fending off serious competition from Age of Conan. For example, some of the new quest mechanices they are …
There is never an end to the constant acquisition of gear! This is one of my posts on the downfalls of what had been one of my favorite games. It really is difficult for me to pick at WoW to much because I do still have a love for it, although that last few months …
