Re-subbing to WoW and Cataclysm Plans

The Problem I’ve been torn these past couple of days on which direction I should take my MMOing. I’ve been having a lot of fun in LotRO recently so I don’t plan on leaving it out to dry. Still, for some reason I go through periods of drought in that game. If my fun level …

Pay-by-Hour is the wave of the… future?

I like to start my week off with a solid butchering of the English language. What can I say? Now, on to our main topic for today: pay-by-hour games. We don’t see these a lot in the Western MMO market. It’s actually a little strange given that it was a big business model for early …

Bad news for Fallen Earth

Oi, I’d be a little concerned if I was a Fallen Earth fan. Coming down the gauntlet today (via ITG, via the Escapist), we hear that Icarus Studios laid off a big chunk of its workforce. Actually, the initial report claimed that they had “closed their doors” but that may not be exactly true. Shortly …
