Speaking of going into a drought, that’s pretty much blogging in the days surrounding the launch of a new MMO. Since I’m not writing about STO, the interest in the blog has been markedly lower than usual since the headstart began. I always found it kind of interesting that, by watching blogs, you can get …

The last wing of Icecrown Citadel is set to open in World of Warcraft today and, with it, the final big encounter of Wrath of the Lich King: the face off with Arthas. For the next few weeks, servers will be alive with activity as guilds focus on taking down this final baddie and officially …

Adding PvP to a PvE game

January 30, 2010

by

Last night, when we recorded episode six of The Multiverse, one of the big topics was battlegrounds being added into Everquest 2. Ferrel is pretty adamantly against it and I don’t blame him. He’s concerned about how PvP balancing will effect the PvE game. As a raider, what to some people is just a change …

Day One back at Darkfall

Categories:

January 28, 2010

by

It’s amazing how much you can forget that was once muscle memory. Stepping back into Darkfall yesterday was at once like visiting an old friend and also an overwhelming feeling totally inept. For the first few minutes, I spent some time going through my key bindings and spellbook, re-acquainting myself with my abilities, rebinding a …

I decided today that I’m going to give Darkfall Online another shot. My subscription to Fallen Earth has just lapsed, so instead of going in for another month, I figure that it’s time to revisit this old favorite. I know, words of travesty to many of you. Darkfall, a favorite?! It can’t be. Who am …

Perception Massively

January 25, 2010

by

Someday, a hand shall reach down and bear the lost knowledge that perception really is reality. What I see (the King’s I, which is really you), is what I believe, and what I’ll tell, and shout from the rooftops; how something is presented is more important than how it actually works. And, really, how I …

Hi Everyone, For your listening pleasure, we give you the day late Episode 5 of The Multiverse. We had a lot of fun recording this one but we went about it a little bit differently. Rather than highly editing everything, we approached it like we were live. Behind the scenes, these episodes usually take me …

Did we give up on the “next-gen” MMO?

Categories:

a. MMORPG

January 18, 2010

by

Think back with me a couple of years. Do you remember hearing this term? “Next-Gen,” a phrase that even to the ear rings of progression and advancement. The first time I heard it used was in relation to Vanguard. People were excited, because it set out to push the industry into another era of MMORPGs. …
