Or: Ever Just Want to be Bad? A good friend of mine and writer here, Ryan, just got a promotion in a game he’s been playing for the last ten years. He’s now an “immortal,” which in MMO terms means guild leader/staff member. His achievement came with a lot of accolades but what I found …

Will Cataclysm Last Long Enough?

March 19, 2010

Heading into the weekend, I like to leave us with a bit of speculation to mull over. Everyone’s excited for Cataclysm, right? It’s Blizzard’s most ambitious expansion yet and plans to reshape to legacy game we’ve come to know so well. It’s also planning on adding five extra levels to the end game and launch …

If you’ve played Heavy Rain, you’ll get that. If not, watch the video and you’ll understand. This guy’s commentary made it too good not to share. Wait until the end.

Hey Gang, We’re over our first big hump and coming back to you with Episode #11 of The Multiverse: MMO Radio. See that? I used our tag line. I always find using tag lines a little awkward, don’t you? Ah well. This week, we jump in and talk about buying gold, alternative advancement, and why …

Things look ‘meh for Mortal Online

Categories:

March 14, 2010

by

I’ve been following Mortal Online since before Darkfall hit retail. The game promised a lot of cool features in a totally sandbox environment. It was the Ultima Online for this generation of gamers, all wrapped in a beautiful 3D veneer. Except, with launch sometime within the next two weeks (all we know is “March 2010”), …

Breaking Free of the End-Game

March 10, 2010

Unlike a lot of gamers, I really like to level. Questing is fun and seeing that golden ring light up around you character as you ding is satisfying like nothing else I’ve experienced to date. Heck, I liked leveling up before I even knew what questing was. Each new ding was a mark of power. …

My last post made me feel a little nostalgic this weekend. Like most of us, I look back at the first MMOs I played and sometime feel the need to rekindle those old feelings. Well, actually, it’s MUDs in my case, but whatever.  As I stepped back in, it hit me. I left out a …

Retrospective: What We’ve Left Behind With Progress

March 5, 2010

by

In the last 10 years, we’ve come a long way as a genre. Sometimes, I feel a little bit spoiled, like I ate the whole damn cake, when all I asked for was a cookie. Or, maybe I’ve turned into the Cookie Monster, and want the whole friggin’ plate. The point is, the things we …

Beau Turkey to write for Massively – Congrats!

March 5, 2010

by

Beau just dropped the news that he’ll be writing for Massively in the near future. I’ve always thought that Beau had an interesting take on things, and certainly less mainstream than we usually see. I’m happy to hear that he’ll be shaking things up over there. If you have a minute, why not drop by …
