Like Stepping Back in Time (A Tale of Two Games)

I have a funny relationship with LotRO. We’re an on-again, off-again kind of couple. Sometimes she gets all hot and bothered when I’m ready to sleep for the night. When I’m in the mood, she immediately tells me to run to Rivendell for some milk. But, honestly, most of the time I’m just out with …

Chat’s Not Dead (It’s Just on Time Out)

Wolfshead’s latest post talks about the failing state of chat in MMOs today. Like all of his posts, it’s an enjoyable read and is delivered with all of the experience and eloquence we’ve come to expect from him.

The Post-WoW Haze

Something happens to me when I play WoW, and I’d bet it happens to a lot of players. When I play, I do it to the exclusion of most other games. I recall looking at my PS3 through this last bit and thinking that it looked a bit sad, gathering dust on its stand. My …

The Multiverse – Episode #23.5: “Can You Hear Me Now?”

Hey guys, Long time no see! I know, it’s been too long, but we’re back. This episode actually demonstrates some of the technological issues we’ve been running into trying out new recorders. Unfortunately, Ferrel echoes throughout; however, the content itself was too good not to share — hence, 23.5 and not 24. We talk about …

LotRO’s Cash Shop and Where It Leads

Throughout the transition period, I’ve done my best to support Turbine and Lord of the Rings Online. As a lifetime subscriber, the change to freemium meant very little for me – and, still do. So, while I empathized with players terrified of what the changeover meant for them, I couldn’t exactly share their fear. That’s …

What Makes a Success?

Over the last few years, we’ve seen an absolute explosion in the amount of MMOs being released. A lot of them came about purely because WoW was such a success. The result, it seems, is that these games are being measured against WoW to determine if they’re successful or not. Now, I think we can …
