Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn: Gets Ready For the Fleece From the East
In preparation for the upcoming Year of the Ram, FFXIV is holding another Heavensturn event Wednesday, December 31 to January 14. During this "changing of the heavenly guard," players will be able to take on the "Lions for Lambs" quest, thus winning their own sheep-ish headgear and pet, among other things.
World of Warcraft: How Did the WoD Top Ten Hold Up?
In late October I wrote a column that was an attempt at humor. In it I listed the top 10 reasons to look forward to the Warlords of Draenor expansion for World of Warcraft. Now that Warlords has been out for over a month I want to go back and take a look at how much of my humorous list actually holds up under the stress of use.
General: 20 RPGs Coming in 2015
Another year has come and gone, and with that flurry of levels and experience points goes many of our most-wanted RPGs finally delivered. 2014 was a good year for roleplaying games with the likes of Dragon Age: Inquisition leading the pack but 2015 looks to be downright spectacular. We here at MMORPG have spent a lot of time discussing this year’s games, but with New Year’s Eve fast approaching, let’s look ahead to what next year has in store.
General: The Skies: Developing the Game Step-by-Step – Where to Start?
When it comes to the question "Where do you start in developing the game world?", I have a rather standard answer: everything begins with the idea and then thinking over the game world in detail. In contrast, when I was writing the book, "The Skies", I wasn’t thinking of the game in detail. The world and the storyline were appearing while I was writing and I actually didn’t know what it would be fully until the end, so the story revealed itself over time.
General: 5 Best In-Game Gifts from Developers
One of the best ways to spread holiday cheer is to give presents to other people, but let’s be honest: getting a gift that you want (or one that you didn’t know you wanted) is sure to make you feel just as warm and tingly inside. Last week, David Jagneaux shared 5 Awesome Gift Ideas for the MMO Gamer, and I’d be just as happy buying one of those items for myself as I would be getting it for one of my guildmates.
Marvel Heroes 2015: Four Things We Want from Marvel Heroes in 2015
We re-reviewed the game earlier this year, bumping our score up from our initial 5.6 to an 8.2, reflecting all the improvements we found in the game. Still, there are a number of issues that have presented since then and today we’re offering up our list of improvements we’d like to see Gazillion make over the course of the next year.
Elder Scrolls Online: The Champion System Changes Everything, Leaves Questions
The Elder Scrolls Online team has been active with reveals in recent weeks, due to how much will be changing in update 6, which itself is just the beginning for subsequent phases of changes, additions, and overhauls. So it’s not surprising that the year closes out with (finally!) details about the Champion system. While no one will get a taste of the actual update until it hits the PTS after the new year, there’s already much feedback and discussion to tide us all over until January and beyond.
Star Wars: The Old Republic: Shadow of Revan – Final Thoughts
On December 2nd, early purchasers of the Shadow of Revan expansion were granted access to two things: the new content that was being added for the $20 purchase of the expansion pack, and the new skills and streamlined combat systems. For people who have played SWTOR in the past and are just curious about the new discipline system, I’d recommend just logging in and trying it for yourself.
