What’s your favorite MMO vaporware?

Wednesday, July 30, 2008

0 Comments

Post a comment with either an MMO that was being made that should have been the epitome of what you’ve wanted in a game that fell through or possibly an upcoming MMO that looks like it could be the same but might be/will be vaporware. Infinity: The Quest for Earth Twitch-based, 100-billion-star galaxy to explore, practically as [...]

Stargate Worlds Combat Mechanics

Sunday, July 27, 2008

1 Comment

In a traditional MMO players often stand toe to toe, dealing damage whilst trying to mitigate the damage of their opponent. Stargate Worlds is not going to be like that, if you picture the “Hollywood style” combat seen in the show you’ll have a much better idea of what it will be like in the [...]

Age of Conan Leveling Guide

Thursday, July 24, 2008

I’ve been playing Age of Conan for a couple days now and I’m really enjoying it.  The combat system is great, albeit with a couple bugs, as with any MMO.  At any rate, my goal is to rock out some levels and get to the real large-scale pvp action where the game really shines. There are [...]

PvP in Stargate Worlds

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

Since I started playing MMORPGs with Anarchy Online, I’ve wished there was more of a push for sci-fi genre games rather than all this fantasy stuff.  Enough with the Orcs, Elves and Dwarfs already. Finally, it seems that Stargate Worlds might be answering that call for me.  While I loved Star Wars Galaxies because I’m into [...]

Criminals and Murderers will have an icon showing their status. Innocent: No one can perform hostile actions on you without being flagged as a Criminal.

Arena Tournament Second Qualification Round Concludes

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

I’ve played with the idea of starting a World of Warcraft arena team a couple times.  Problem is, I just don’t have the commitment to go back to WoW and spend the time to make a great arena character — let alone hone the skills necessary. Arena play in WoW is serious business these days.  Unfortunately, [...]

I Hate Torrent Downloaders

I recently bought Age of Conan after hearing some decent things about the PvP and blissfully ignoring the various gripes about the game mechanics. As I usually do when it’s available, I grabbed the digital download.  I’m a child of instant gratification so it’s usually the best option.  Plus, it limits real-world time at an actual [...]
