Fans of R. J. are just louder then the majority of people who are still taking notes trying to make sense of that man's plot(S). The guy must have h…
Oh...wait CodeMasters! You got something on your face...let help you get it off...wait a minute, it's just the words "Dragon" and "Empires"...huhh, suddenly I feel compelled to never believe anything you say and to avoid a MMO you develop in-hou…
I think it should be a law in the game industry to put the word "Estimated" before all release dates, unless the game is ON it's way to the manufacturer as the release date is being posted.
I say this not for myself, I already know how it works wh…
Nice article.
Nostalgia is a very tricky, and some would say fickle, thing to work with. Sometimes it clicks with people and some times it doesn't.
I started playing on the Classic Dark Age of Camelot servers with, admittedly, too high of ex…

Yet how does all this apply to mmogs? How can an indie / noir / pulp mmog ever make it?
Have you ever heard of Multiverse ? If anything, it's at least one avenue of approach to it. I'm sure we'll start…

For a game that supposedly has 9 mill plus playing they sure keep on promoting this thing like it is brand new. Though, you have to give them credit, they market their games better than anyone else. Probably the #…

I personally think spawning monsters at x,y cords for no apparent reason is getting VERY old and should only be used as little as possible. Developers really need to open up their games and create seamless, zoneless worlds. If wolves aren't regularl…
Actually it makes perfect sense. What are you going to do when the economy is slow and you can't find a steady job...?
Play video games, obiviously.
Hehehehe...but seriously, this is good news for the new incoming talent to the industry (suc…
Asheron's Call did it...and they did it well. Every month a new content patch was downloaded and advanced a world spanning story line that most all players could become a part of in one way or another. Heck, they even changed the landscape to match …

Hey Jon Wood do you happen to listen to weekend round up with Dianne Reem of NPR.
Any way
A skill based fantasy sandbox MMO might be what the the MMO gaming community really needs to break the stagnant repeditive …
We, as gamers, think this way: You know, that would be the coolest &#%$in' thing in a game!
Developers, unfortunately, think this way: You know, that would be the easiest &#%$in' way to make some money!
A revamped AC, which would be my n…
I haven't posted in a while. Mostly because I've just not had anything new to say in a long time, I'm just one of the many guys sitting around waiting for something new and actually engaging to play.
I'd like to call on all developers to stop sett…
I'm hoping whatever Curt Schillings is cooking up over at 38 Studios will at least raise the bar to the next level.
That's my hope anyway.
It makes me sad when I think about how old I'm going to be by the time virtual reality becomes a dominant …

Asheron's Call had it right. No zone walls period. You could just login in and pick any direction you wanted to go and just explore for hours. I loved how if you ran long enough you'd slowly enter different climate zones (deserts, forests, snowy mou…
An interesting thought...what if they make a Diablo RTS and/or a Starcraft RPG?
You know you'd still play it!
Just kidding, Blizzard is going to make a Starcraft game at some point in time...now or later. It's like having a gold mine right…
What I want: a Starcraft MMO FPS ...ala Planetside, but this time instead of just fighting over continents, players would be fighting over worlds.
What I really want though: To shoot up a bunch of Zerglings, Rambo style.
Seriously though, I'…
