Class-Based MMORPGs? Looking for suggestions
May 26, 2013 - 2:01 am
I'm trying to find a MMORPG where there are classes and you can't really deviate too much from it, similar to maplestory or Dungeon Fighter Online. Preferably a grindfest, and I'm not really a fan of PvP. any suggestions?

What MMO would suit me best?
May 25, 2013 - 9:54 pm
I'm just about to finish my first year of college, and need an MMO to get through this summer. I've played Wow since 2005, however, I simply couldn't get into it anymore since Cata came along. I'm an absolute sucker for PvE, and would prefer an MMO focused on that rather than PvP. I do own Guild Wars 2 and that simply isn't my cup of tea. I also spent a few months on LotRO back when that was in beta and had quite some fun, but got bored and went back to WoW. Any suggestions would be most appreciated, cost doesn't matter to me! Also, if anyone were to tell me how LotRO is doing at the moment that would also be appreciated, as getting back into that may be an option. Thanks!

The Tattered Notebook: EQ Next scoops up Emily 'Domino' Taylor
May 25, 2013 - 7:00 pm
Filed under: EverQuest II, MMO Industry, Opinion, The Tattered Notebook, EverQuest Next, Sandbox, Crafting
A curious thing happened as I was strolling through EverQuest II this past week. It seems there was a bit of commotion in the Norrathian community, with races good and evil cheering and dancing in the streets. Personally, I didn't even know Sarnak could move like that! What was the catalyst of this celebration? Why, didn't you hear -- there was news about EverQuest Next! And with the scarcity of that kind of treasure, it's understandable that folks went a'frolicking. But this wasn't just any old news, either. This week, fans learned that Emily "Domino" Taylor, also known as Pentapod, was returning to the EverQuest franchise as the producer for EQ Next.Can the presence of just one person really send prospective players into a tizzy of anticipation? Yes, it can. I watched as a number of EQII players, once ambivalent or on the fence about EQN, not only look twice at the upcoming sandbox but hop right on over into the newest Norrath's camp. More eyes than ever are watching the development of this game (even though there is scant little to watch at the moment). And this is why.

TUG closes in on its Kickstarter deadline with a new video
May 25, 2013 - 6:00 pm
Filed under: Fantasy, Video, Previews, News Items, Sandbox, Crowdfunding
It's the final countdown for TUG, with less than a week to go and about $50,000 more needed as of this writing. The development team has penned a penultimate Kickstarter update for fans and would-be fans, compiling several updates and news posts for everyone to read. It covers the care and development of player characters, the use of companions, and the structure of the game servers... all questions to be asked by anyone looking to back the game.There's also a video on the page, one you can watch after the cut to see how the game is being based around science, even more so than the other games that turn your computer into virtual three-dimensional worlds. You can also take a look at our recent interview with the staff behind TUG to learn a bit more about the game's structure. If it piques your interest, now's the time to hop over and give the game a bit more funding.

The Mog Log: Final Fantasy XIV beta phase 1 and 2 - crafting
May 25, 2013 - 5:00 pm
Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, Classes, Game Mechanics, Opinion, Consoles, Final Fantasy XIV, The Mog Log, Crafting
The thing about Final Fantasy XIV's crafting is that it's always been an odd mixture of wonderful and terrible, much like the game as a whole. You had crazily interconnected crafts that could be frustrating to level, the simple difficulty of trying to find the items you need, and a minigame that made mass production maddeningly slow. But you also had a real sense of personal craftsmanship, and the complex interplay between quality, durability, and progress meant that your successes or failures were truly your own.None of these elements has been removed from the beta phases, but each has been streamlined and largely improved. The test phases allowed us to explore the two crafting classes based in Gridania, Carpenter and Leatherworker, and so I got to really dive into the heart of working with wood and dead animal hides. It was a lot more fun than that summary might imply.

do you want to play korean games really?
May 25, 2013 - 2:22 pm
i offer accounts for streamer or youtuber. i am bored of my life. i dont want to play any game. i just want to see videos. i can translate korean and do anything on korean internet. maybe we can promote gaming site with highest, longest, professional quality gaming review videos. if i am not bored, i will make perfect english translations and videos like steparu (better than steparu. even i join exclusive game supporters and offline party or you can come to south korea and do it with me. for example, icarus online pegasus knights supporters).
it is kinda practice. i just watch gameplay reaction videos or streams nowadays and think of new innovative ideas without efforts. i play hounds online netmarble nowadays. they are going to add new maps and Mosque and Arabic zombies in game. anyway if you want to play latest korean games with english translator, send me pm (skype - kforice). i prefer english commentary streamer, yotuber. if we become bigger, we will make highest quality english videos quickly on black desert, bless online, wolfknights online, black sheep online, lineage eternal etc amazing games and sell korean stuff or do some korean service on online and real life oversea.

The Road to Mordor: The Adventures of Floid & Dewitt in LotRO
May 25, 2013 - 1:00 pm
Filed under: Fantasy, Lord of the Rings Online, Free-to-Play, Humor, The Road to Mordor, Guides
It's important to get this straight right away: Floid is the horse and Dewitt is the human. And no, I'm not giving you the principle cast of a Saturday morning cartoon; this is one of the more interesting Easter eggs that inhabit Lord of the Rings Online.Floid the Mighty Steed and Dewitt the Explorer are an adventuring duo in the process of touring all of Middle-earth. Their journeys take them to out-of-the-way places, but if you stumble upon them you'll be given a deed to find the pair in seven different locales. Do so and you'll earn the incredible, the awe-inspiring, the magnificent... title of "the Wanderer." OK, it's just a title, but it's a title and a "Where's Waldo?" hunt for two oddballs. I'll take some time off of plowing through Update 11 to do this, yes sir!
While I've been aware of Floid and Dewitt over the years, I have never taken the time to hunt them down and finish the deed. Well, that ends this week. Come with me as I search high and low until all is revealed!

The Department of Inevitable Arguments is there when life happens, you know it's going to happen, and more than anything you just want it to get on with the happening so you can go to lunch. Filing at the department saves time and reduces stress for all participants. Do you know you'll disagree with your friends about a movie or game? Did you eat the last doughnut like a jerk when someone else wanted that doughnut? Put in for the argument in advance and avoid the hassle of having an argument crop up in the middle of an otherwise uneventful evening of amateur machete fights.All of our writers have already filed their gaming choices for your potential objection, but if you want to be sure about whether or not you object to what they play, just check out this week's WRUP. It tells you exactly what the staff is playing this week so you can argue about it in the comments. Or you can let us know what you'll be playing in the comments, same difference.
