Marvel Heroes Omega – Three Lessons I Learned From the Gazillion Shutdown

As I’ve been playing games for decades, the red flags of what Gazillion did were stark, and often. As we currently live in an unprecedented era of gaming, and by unprecedented I mean an era of gaming where monetization is affluent, in many cases, when the game is not only unfinished, but these days monetization happens with nary more than an idea or grasp of a game is apparent, I still believed that brand integrity meant something.

With Antorus as the final World of Warcraft: Legion raid, many progression guilds seeking the “world first” clear are jetting through at an unprecedented pace.

Elsword – Prepare for the 3rd Job in New Event

From now through December 19th, Elsword players can take part in a special event to prepare their characters for the imminent arrival of the 3rd Job for each.
