Everyone has a fighting chance
It wasn’t very long ago that the MMOG category was practically unknown. Indeed, with only a very small selection of titles running, none of which had the number of players we can often find these days on a single server, it was barely a category at all. So, for those of us who remember the original Neverwinter Nights, Air Warrior, The Realm Online et al, many pleasant surprises lay ahead. A lot of them took place between 1997 and 2004. Naturally some particularly stood out.
The ArenaNet team is at it again with a new teaser image on the Guild Wars 2 Facebook page. It seems that we will finally hear more about the Elementalist advanced profession later this week! What do you hope to see?
Blizzard has posted a few hysterical "S.E.L.F.I.E." pictures from the recent Scavenger Hunt contest. Some of them are pretty funny such as a Human in Orgrimmar being targeted by Orc guards and a Tauren leaping from Dalaran’s lofty perch.
During an upcoming interview with Scott Hartsman, it was revealed that Trion has ended its experiment with selling single-player DRM-free games.

Players will receive keys for other services that support those games alongside $100 in free credits for any of Trion’s stable of titles.

Read on for week two of our Review in Progress series.
One would think that the upcoming Gamescom would be the logical time for a new trailer release, but Hello Games doesn’t want to deprive its fans that long and have sent out a brand new PS4 trailer for No Man’s Sky that will leave you wondering why there isn’t a release date at the end. Check it out!
HEX: Shards of Fate. By now you’ve probably read tons of articles on the game. You know the gist. It’s a Digital TCG, in the same vein as Magic: the Gathering, only radically different once you get under the hood. Being digital brings a whole new level of things they can do with the simple card game mechanics. Things that would be incredibly difficult, if not downright impossible, to do for a traditional, in-person, card game.
Nexon is ready to unleash Fantasy War Tactics on the world in the near future, a game with roots firmly in the best strategy role-playing games of the past. We had the opportunity to interview Jungkeun Lee, Director, Nexon GT to find out more about Fantasy War Tactics and why you should be paying attention.
The Trove team is asking the creative community to "think outside the box" to create a Shadow Titan, to "Create a Boss, Like a Boss". Players are asked to post their ideas in a specially created thread on the Trove forum by Friday, July 24th. From the group, several will be chosen to be ‘top contenders’ from among which players will choose a winner.
There’s a huge infestation problem in Guild Wars 2, and I’m not talking about the minions of Modremoth. I’m talking about all these level 80 characters running around stealing all the events, and breaking them! Low level characters use dynamic events to not only enjoy a good bit of story, but to also supplement their leveling experience. But we max level players have gotten greedy, and turn all the low level maps we infest into barren wastelands!
