It's a mod, mod world, says WoW's Drysc2009-09-26Let's face it - if you've played any MMO for any significant amount of time, chances are you've made use of one mod or another during the course of your experience. Whether you picked it up to help you heal your raid, maximize your DPS, or to optimize your crafting efficiency, mods have always fallen into a sort of gray area as far as the terms of service are concerned, and have the subject of heated moral debate amongst players. After all, is it really ...

Tolkien's Virtual World Takes Off2009-09-19Jeff Anderson is not a nerd. The 40-year-old chief executive of Westwood (Mass.) video game developer Turbine is six feet tall, with the frame of an NFL linebacker. Nevertheless, he presides over a vast and rapidly growing virtual world of elves, orcs, dragons, and hobbits.
In April, Anderson's company took the wraps off the Lord of the Rings Online, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) for PC, based on J.R.R. Tolkien's classic books. The explosive growth of the game¡ªplayers have created some 4 million unique characters in just five months¡ªhas vaulted the company into the top tier of online game design companies and made it the largest privately held developer of massively multiplayer games in the U.S.
In the game, players create avatars based on characters from the books¡ªhobbits or orcs, for instance¡ªto pursue quests and battle monsters in an expansive virtual world closely based on the tales' locations and events. They can also chat with other players via an inte...
Can not develop an MMO in a traditional game-studio culture2009-09-16Surprisingly, many of the more high-profile MMO failures were developed by the largest, most well established publishers in the industry. These projects had the benefit of solid financing, large teams, established IPs, and proven development methodologies that had been refined over decades of developing successful games in other genres. What happened? You can certainly make a list of everything that went wrong ¨C the game industry is full of "armchair generals" who would love to do so for you ¨C but ultimately the quality of a game is determined by the development culture that created it, and creating a successful MMO requires a radically different development culture than the culture optimized to produce traditional video games. While these large publishers have refined the process of creating traditional video games to an art, many of them have not y...
The Daily Grind: Your biggest MMO pet peeves2009-09-08A recent thread on the Ten Ton Hammer forums about "biggest WoW pet peeves" caught our eye the other day. After reading some of the responses there, we got to thinking about some of the things in general that annoy us in different MMOs. One of the truly universal ones was gold-spam. It seems no matter what format they have to take, up to and including piles of d...
Wow gold & MMOG2009-08-27Blizzard's extremely famous MMOG & wow gold reaches new subscriber milestone two months before arrive of second extend.
Blizzard Entertainment is just over two months away from relieving the second extend pack to its genre-controlling massively multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King. And regardless of enlarged contest this year from the likes of Funcom's Age of Conan and EA Mythic's War hammer Online, Blizzard has tried to continue to stave off WOW fatigue to usher in that expansion's arrival.
Today, the Irvine-based developer said that its subscriber base had exceeded 11 million in the world. Adding a little colour to that number, Wow's citizenship would rank just higher than the total population of Greece, according to the Central Intelligence Agency's World Fact Book.
As exhibited in Blizzard parent company Vivendi SA's recent financial described, World of Warcraft has been on the cusp of hitting 11 million subscribers since July. Today's milestone comes just over 10 months since Blizzard touted Wow's 10 millionth subscribers in January.
As Blizzard uses a variety of payment plans in different countries, the publisher defines "subscriber" thusly: "World of Warcraft sub...
MMO Characters and Children: More Similar than you Might Think2009-08-17This article is originated from www.brighthub.com.
Both children and MMO characters require constant supervision, training, and guidance. After reading this humorous guide, you'll never see leveling in quite the same way.
I ran Utgarde Keep the other day on my Druid, and was pleasantly surprised when the Holistic Patchwork Breeches dropped from Ingvar. As the group only leather wearer, I won the roll easily and immediately equipped my new pants, placing the old pants in a dark corner of my backpack so I would remember to sell them when I finished the run.
That when it hit me: I just changed my character pants.
I suppose a bit of background information is in order here. I have an amazing two-year old daughter who is simply the light of my life. She is at that age where she seems to be doing new and amazing things every single day and I can help but equate everything in my life to her in some way.
I also in the final stages of leveling my second character to 80 in World of Warcraft, and my character, in his mid...
used to work (I still have2009-06-15The way the MSD & used to work (I still have em both for pvp) is that you would get an MSD pr andast AM. This would hit every 12 sond, andouldrit thus giving you a harge every 12 sond.

It is still somewhat okay, but sie thehargesannot cumulate on the as quk, it is not nearly as OP as it use...
