In one corner, we have Eastern MMOs. In the other corner, Western MMOs. But, just like every Friday Fight, in the battle between design styles, there can be only one winner.

This week, Broken Ranks reflects on its recent test, Corepunk is still working on its Pve Arena update, and The Quinfall makes a CPU optimization pass.

In one corner, we have the players who want to sprint through as fast as possible, in the other corner, there are those who prefer to slow down, but, just like every Friday Fight, in the battle between dungeon playstyles, there can be only one winner.

This week, Palia heads to the ranch, Monsters & Memories discusses their successful playtest, and Villagers & Heroes heads back to the Haunted Moors.

Last week’s Indie MMO Spotlight had some technical issues due to PAX West, but we’re back with a double hit this week.

In one corner, we have Final Fantasy XI, in the other corner, we have the newer and currently more popular Final Fantasy XIV. But, just like every Friday Fight, in the battle between Final Fantasies, there can be only one winner.

This week, multiple MMOs get patches, Broken Ranks starts a new blog, and Corepunk gets a new key art.

In one corner, we have the in-game chat systems that the developers provide. In the other corner, we have players who use third-party platforms for all of their communications. But, just like every Friday Fight, in the battle between communication tools, there can be only one winner.
