MMORPG : Editorial: What could Apple's new iPad mean for MMORPGs?By: Shawn Schuster Jan 28, 2010 01:00:00 PM News Item: 10815Filed under: MMORPG industry, News items, belief ![]() Interestingly enough, Apple wanted to make sure that some gaming press were there for this enormous unveiling of their new product.

COH,COV,MMORPG : Interview sheds more light on latest City of Heroes guest authorsBy: Eliot Lefebvre Jan 28, 2010 11:00:00 AM News Item: 10829Filed under: Super-hero, City of Heroes, City of Villains, Culture, Events, in-game, Interviews, belief ![]() If there's one unifying strand to all of the author comments, it's that working on Mission Architect doesn't just help create substence, it forces creators to train themselves to write better. With limitations on how much speech can appear and when, all three authors point out that it forces the story down to its essentials. But it's not a limiting factor in making things weaker -- rather, it forces you to craft something that's entertaining even without a lot of flowery dialogue. The full conversation also covers each author's experiences in balancing the arcs, as well as Ms. Lackey's discussion of her history as a gamer. Whether you've already experienced the new City of Heroes arcs or have yet to take them for a spin, it's clear that a great deal of thought and effort went into them.
MMORPG : Upcoming MMORPG from Blueside also in development for Xbox360By: Rubi Bayer Jan 28, 2010 10:00:00 AM News Item: 10814Filed under: Business models, MMORPG industry, News items We know Korean developer Blueside for Kingdom Under Fire, as well as the hush-hush venturethey've been working on for a while, an MMORPG known by the name of "Project T."Given that Kingdom Under Fire is a sequel to the 2001 Xbox title Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders, it should come as no surprise that Blueside is taking a similar approach with the mysterious Project T. Not only will Project T be released for the PC, but we've also gotten word that an Xbox360 version is coming as well. A recent Korean job listing specified that the company needs citizens with experience on commercial MMORPGs, and specifies that the MMORPG is in development for both platforms. Details on Project T are still very scarce, and confirmation that Blueside is planning to join the emerging trend of console MMORPGs is the most we've heard for a while. We'll keep an eye out for more facts!
Eve,MMORPG : Fan-run contest lets EVE Online gamers win game merchandiseBy: James Egan Jan 28, 2010 09:00:00 AM News Item: 10853Filed under: Sci-fi, EVE Online, Contests ![]() Our friend and EVE Online fanatic CrazyKinux periodically runs an EVE Blog Banter, where the growing number of bloggers spotlighted on the sci-fi MMORPG tackle discussion topics. The end effect is usually some well thought-out commentary or lively debate about an aspect of the game experience. His latest Blog Banter has a different twist; it's actually a contest where the top ten winners can score merchandise from the official EVE Store. (The prizes: $100worthy offor first place, $50 for second place, $25 for third and fourth, fifth through tenth place winners will each get 14 days of EVE time.) Entering is pretty simple. CrazyKinux asks: "What is it that makes this meticulous virtual world so enticing, so mysterious and so alluring that we keep coming back for more. Why is EVE one of the very few MMORPGs to see continuous growth in its subscribers? To put it simply: Why do you love EVE Online so much?" Answer this question on your own blog while linking back to CK's contest post in your intro, then let him know about it in his contest post's comments. Be sure to look into the contest rules first, but you've got until January 31st to enter. Winners will be announced on February 5th; the contest will be judged on the merits of quality, structure, approach, and originality. So there you go -- if you're an EVE Online gamer and a decent writer as well, this could be easy money for you. Good luck to any readers who decide to go for it.
FFXI,MMORPG : Love is in the air in Final Fantasy XIBy: Eliot Lefebvre Jan 27, 2010 10:00:00 PM News Item: 10876Filed under: Fantasy, Final Fantasy XI, Events, in-game, Previews ![]() For most citizens, Valentine's Day either means either buying something nice for your partner if you're in a relationship, or staring in silent rage at the endless array of heart-shaped candy boxes if you're single. Unless you're a gamer in Final Fantasy XI, in which case it means yet another opportunity to get yourself a heart-shaped wand and potentialy fulfill your dream of being a magical girl. The not-so-deceptively named Valentione's Day is fast forthcoming yet again, and as per tradition, the official site has put together a short piece of fiction to commemorate and preview the event. This year seems to hint at a slight twist to the events of prior years -- while the charm wand has become strongly associated with the event (since that was how one earned it in the first place), it's usually the end reward of the process. Theshortpreview story seems to hint that we'll be called upon to slay more than a few monsters with said wand before everything is said and done... or perhaps it's just a sweet little vignette. Either way, Final Fantasy XI gamers will get a chance to find out between February 4th through February 15th.

If all of that wasn't bad enough, Cryptic Daeke has confirmed that Vibora Bay will be a "paid expansion" which will add more substence for levels 37 to 40 -- a move which has sent many members of the community into what can only be described as "a frothing rage."

COH,COV,MMORPG : A Mild-Mannered Reporter: Community guide to City of HeroesBy: Eliot Lefebvre Jan 27, 2010 04:00:00 PM News Item: 10828Filed under: Super-hero, City of Heroes, City of Villains, Guides, belief, A Mild-Mannered Reporter ![]() For our first installment, we're highlighting a number of sites that are useful in one way or another to the City of Heroes gamerbase. While the game has enjoyed quite a lifespan, the web existence on it has been a bit more limited than some other games, most likely due in noshortpart to the fact that it's much easier to simply pick up and play. That doesn't mean there's nothing here, though -- the community has developed a number of excellent tools and community gathering points to improve everyone's experience in Paragon City or the Rogue Isles. Take a look at what we've looked at and see as the highlights. Continue reading A Mild-Mannered Reporter: Community guide to City of Heroes
MMORPG,STO : Star Trek Marathon on SyFyBy: Rekhan Jan 27, 2010 03:30:10 PM News Item: 10771As part of our previous pre-order deal with SyFy, we're teaming up with the network to air a Star Trek marathon.

MMORPG : A Tale in the Desert to commence new gamer driven serverBy: James Egan Jan 27, 2010 11:00:00 AM News Item: 10811Filed under: Historical, A Tale in the Desert, Culture, Economy, MMORPG industry, Politics, Legal ![]() A Tale in the Desert may not be the first game that comes to mind when you think of MMORPGs, but the title from independent developer eGenesis is something quite unique in this market. A Tale in the Desert isn't a combat-spotlighted game at all, rather it's more about social, economic, and even legal systems in an ancient Egyptian setting. Players concerned in a "telling" (a game arc) can even vote to determine the game's laws, which sets this title apart from most others. eGenesis announced this week that they're commenceing a new worldon February 20th, stating that it will give even greater control to gamers by allowing them to "completely control the timing of the telling." The new worldwill offer gamers an ancient Egypt that has yet to be built. In other words, it's an open environment where the gamers can have some degree of control over how that setting takes shape. If the notion of a gamer-driven setting where the game's subscribers shape the play experience and surroundings appeals to you, have a look at what's coming soon to A Tale in the Desert.
MMORPG : CitiesXL to close multigamer featuresBy: Rubi Bayer Jan 27, 2010 10:45:00 AM News Item: 10810Filed under: Real life, MMORPG industry, News items, Cities XL ![]() The CitiesXL team has our sympathy -- it's never easy to make such a decision -- but there is a silver lining. While gamers can no longer visit other cities, trade tokens, and so on, CitiesXL will continue to exist as a single gamer game. Monte Cristo has also added an FAQ to their official site, and the complete letter to subscribers can be found below, just after the jump. Presumably, this will be the last time you'll hear about CitiesXL on , so we wish them the best of luck on the single-gamer version. Continue reading CitiesXL to close multigamer features
MMORPG,SWG : Star Wars Galaxies pushes Galactic Civil War live and calls for recruitsBy: Eliot Lefebvre Jan 27, 2010 10:00:00 AM News Item: 10923Filed under: Sci-fi, Events, in-game, Patches, News items, Star Wars Galaxies ![]() It's a big update, and for understandable reasons Sony Online Entertainment wants to show off what they've done with the game. So they're giving gamers a chance to jump back into the action. Between February 1st and March 1st,previous gamers will be allowed to come back for free, with their accounts automatically reinstated for the month. Those who decide that toppling the Empire -- or defending it -- isworthy ofre-subscribing will be rewarded with a special in-game painting. Star Wars Galaxies still has quite a bit of life left in it, and gamers should be more than happy with the amount of substence in this new update.
EQ,EQ2,MMORPG : EverQuest II rolls out the battlegroundsBy: Seraphina Brennan Jan 27, 2010 09:00:00 AM News Item: 10868Filed under: Fantasy, EverQuest II, Game mechanics, Player vs Player, News items ![]() Starting February 16th, get ready to Player vs Player across worlds. EverQuest II is catching up with the mainstream MMORPG trends by adding battlegrounds to the mix, giving EQII Player vs Player gamers the instanced settings that they've been looking forward to for a while. The three settings include the Battlefield of Ganak, a 6 vs. 6 game of capture the flag in Iksar territory, Smuggler's Den, a 24 vs. 24 game of hold the point conducted onshortislands, and the Gears of Klak'anon, a 6 vs. 6 game of hold the relic that saps your heath but makes you do crazy damage. Playing these settings does not go unrewarded, of course, as winners can look forward to allegeing the very sexy new chaos armor set -- an armor set of dirty, twisted, spiked platemail that looks good on any battleground champion. And, if you were wondering what yesterday's puzzle post was all about,speculateno more! We had pieces of of the battleground maps of Klak'anon and Smuggler's Den. But, not to worry, we've included the full maps and screenshots in the gallery below for your viewing pleasure. Happy battling! Gallery: EverQuest II: Battlegrounds
MMORPG,WOW : Rumor: Red 5 Studios lays off one-third of its teamBy: Rubi Bayer Jan 27, 2010 08:30:00 AM News Item: 10809Filed under: MMORPG industry, News items Their official site reads "Red 5 Studios is seeking highly talented and driven agendamers to help us build a AAA massively multigamer title."Well, maybe not. A report from Gamasutra gives the news that we never like to hear or report: Red 5 Studios -- founded byprevious World of Warcraft team members -- has laid off approximately 30 citizens. This report comes from a "reliablecause" close to Red 5, and if the number is accurate, it's nearly a third of their 100-man team. (That figure from a December 2008 conversation with CEO Michael Weingartner.) Red 5 Studios has been around since 2005, and as a rule has stayed very quiet regarding their ambitions for their upcoming MMORPG. They secured funding in 2006 and made some team changes in 2008, but it's been mostly silent on the Studio 5 front for the most part, until now. Our best wishes go out to those affected by the layoff, and to all concerned. [Thanks to everyone who sent this in as a tip!] Update: Red 5 has confirmed and clarified this rumor via a press release announcing the restructuring of the company: "As part of the restructuring, some team members chose to part ways while others were let go."

If you are a current gamer of The Chronicles of Spellborn, be sure you have a valid email address on file with Acallege, because everyone playing the current version will be invited to beta test the new version via email.

Read on for your daily dosage. read more Eve,MMORPG : Mass Testing in EVE, Wednesday, to determinecause of lag in fleet battlesBy: James Egan Jan 26, 2010 07:00:00 PM News Item: 10852Filed under: Sci-fi, EVE Online, Bugs, Game mechanics ![]() EVE Online's latest expansion, Dominion, brought sweeping changes to how alliances allege and hold space, and more in recent times revamped capital ship warfare. However, there has been a downside of late in terms of worldstability and lag. Twitter is pretty much aflame with gamers lamenting the worldissues, not to point out the forums, and it's something CCP Games needs to address right away. To that end, CCP is looking to the gamerbase for help with "Mass Testing" on Wednesday, to determine thecause of lag in large fleet battles. The devs will be looking into the problems widely reported with medium and large scale fleet combat and will need at least 50 pilots, though if 200 or more showed up this would be even better, says CCP Tanis. Players interested in helping out should hop on the Singularity test worldon Wednesday, January 27, at 17:00 UTC. Mass Testing participants should join the "MassTesting" channel in-game on the test worldas well. All EVE pilots who want to get concerned should see CCP Navigator's pronouncement for more info about tomorrow's fleet combat tests and the discussion in a related forum thread.

DDO,Eve,MMORPG : EVE Community Spotlight: Helicity BosonBy: James Egan Jan 26, 2010 01:00:00 PM News Item: 10851Filed under: Sci-fi, EVE Online, Events, in-game, Game mechanics, Player vs Player The setting of EVE Online is a vast galactic sandbox called New Eden, with thousands of charted solar systems and thousands more hidden in uncharted space. The title's developer CCP Games provides the expansive setting and PvE substence, but beyond this it's up to the gamers to define what the game can actually be. Although there are ample opportunities to take risks in the game with commensurate rewards, a large percentage of the game's gamerbase are substence to remain in high security space where there are less dangers. Many of these gamers spend their time mining in asteroid belts and ice fields, which most would confess can be a semi-AFK playstyle. After all, the process of mining is rote: lock asteroids, fire up your mining lasers, and some cycles later you've harvested ore that can be sold outright or used in manufacturing. That zen-like calm punctuated by the gentle hum of mining lasers was shaken up for many high sec dwellers earlier this month though, when the gamer-run event Hulkageddon II tore through the mining ship hulls of over 1000 gamers. The core idea of Hulkageddon II, as with the original event, was to destroy as many mining vessels as potentialover the course of a week... a goal that many gamers pursued with reckless abandon. Indeed, there were numerous prizes awarded and 'achievements' that gamers racked up over the course of Hulkageddon II. Ultimately, the event injected some much-needed risk into the game -- whether some gamers wanted it or not -- in places where miners once felt they were untouchable by EVE's criminal population. Of course, a gamer-run event that pitted gamers eager to rack up kills against those who would prefer to avoid conflict has proven controversial. The man behind Hulkageddon II is Helicity Boson, a pirate who flies with The Python Cartel, though he was helped in large part by fellow gamer Garmon (aka El'Tar) and generous donations from other gamers. caught up with Helicity to discuss his motivations behind running Hulkageddon II, his views on the game in general, and why some EVE gamers might be wound up just a bit too tightly.

MMORPG,SL : Linden Lab to crack down on events listing spam. AgainBy: Tateru Nino Jan 26, 2010 12:00:00 PM News Item: 10919Filed under: Business models, Classes, Culture, Events, in-game, News items, belief, Second Life, Virtual worlds
One of the matters of concern would be how event rules are actually applied this time around. If we were to divide events listings into quality events and spammy junk, quite a large number of the quality events don't actually comply with the posting rules - usually due to the number of events being held, and limits on the number of listings (or of listing changes) that the events system will tolerate.

MMORPG,WOW : The myth of the World of Warcraft touristBy: Eliot Lefebvre Jan 26, 2010 11:00:00 AM News Item: 10951Filed under: World of Warcraft, Culture, belief, Rumors ![]() As Serial Ganker points out, most citizens playing World of Warcraft aren't doing so until something better comes along -- they're doing so because they enjoy playing the game. The gamers who are lumped in as "tourists" are citizens who, more often than not, had already left the game and were looking for a new game to call home. This, in noshortpart, is why it's hard for games that clone WoW to find an audience, as the citizens who are looking for a new game want something different. The ultimate conclusion is that the idea of a tourist shifts the blame from creators to gamers -- that the game was fine, but citizens just jumped ship because they actually wanted to go back to WoW anyway. It's a convenient myth, but actually, we'll all be better off if we just put the right head with the right skeleton.
COH,COV,MMORPG : City of Heroes announces next guest authorsBy: Eliot Lefebvre Jan 26, 2010 09:00:00 AM News Item: 10827Filed under: Super-hero, City of Heroes, City of Villains, Game mechanics, Quests, News items ![]() Mercedes Lackey (known for her series of fantasy novels set in Valdemar), Troy Hickman (known for the meta-superhero series Common Grounds), and Austin Grossman (longtime writer of video games and author of Soon I Will Be Invincible) make up the next batch of guest writers crafting their own arcs in City of Heroes. Two of the arcs should be live today (assuming you're reading this on January 26th), according to ashortsupplementary piece which includes a few words from Sean McCann. It's good to see the game continuing to emphasize and enhance the experience of user-created substence, and gamers should look forward to some high-profile names continuing to take their swing at it.

MMORPG : Phantasy Star Universe to shut down PS2 & PC worldsBy: Krystalle Voecks Jan 25, 2010 03:00:00 PM News Item: 10808Filed under: Sci-fi, Phantasy Star Universe, MMORPG industry, News items ![]() On January 29th, the Maximum Attack G+ event will start up across all three Phantasy Star Universe platforms, at which point anyone who has a paid subscriber on the PC or PS2 will be converted to a free account until the worlds go dark. According to a heartfelt post by GM Edward@Sega, these closures are necessary because "[t]he population is simply too low for us to be able to continue to support this platform." The good news is that since there will only be one primary western market platform moving forward, this should allow Sega to close the expansion release gap between the US and Japanese versions. So while this next Maximum Attack G+ event will be a bittersweet one for some, at least Phantasy Star Universe will live on in the 360 version -- and there's always the single-gamer offline version of PSU for PC and PS2 gamers as well. Hopefully some veteran gamers will get the chance to make the jump as losing your favorite world is definitely no fun.
