I saw this project development cartoon used for something in one of my classes, and for the rest of the class I couldn’t stop chuckling to myself as I thought about how this applied so perfectly to the typical MMO.  I edited the cartoon to apply.  If you have trouble reading the captions, click on [...]

The long awaited 1.4.5 patch should be arriving on the PTS sometime today.  This is a rather hefty patch since it includes the new Relic and Fortress system.  Mythic posted the patch notes which come in at close to 2,500 words.  The patc…

In our adventures around the galaxy we have come across a few… interesting things.  Below are a few of them. Anyone else notice that, in the entire galaxy, no water passes your knees?  Imagine the disease from that much standing water.  Did the developers not want to code swimming?  What’s the deal with that? We’re [...]

Greetings,We are preparing our test server to be available for the tests of version 1.4.5 and will bring it down later today. Depending on the internal test, PTS will be re-opened for you tomorrow around noon EST.As usual, keep an eye on the Herald for…

The German fansite and forum Waaagh.de had the chance to ask James Casey, Producer of Warhammer Online, several detailed questions about various aspects of the game.During the second Q&A with Werit you
talked about the new Grovod Caverns where you…

Last night whilst doing a bit of levelling, I was on ventrilo listening in on a group of Kill Frenzy guildies that were playing in SWTOR’s Ilum RvR zone. The guys were laughing on vent because they were getting people from our own faction complaining…

Since I’ve been in a productive mood lately, I decided to give an important piece of Stellar Fortune an overhaul.  The map I currently use in the game is really just a placeholder and not very functional.  To really be useful, the game map ne…

Skylanders, in pocket form. A few months back I gave my impressions of Skylanders and talked about why I liked it so much. Over the holiday break I decided to pick up the 3DS version of the game, despite still working through the 360 version along with a sizeable backlog of other games. I passed [...]

Star Wars: The Old Republic has been out for a few weeks now, and I am still enjoying the game quite a bit.  It is the best PvE MMO I have ever played.  That being said, I am a little nervous about what the future holds for SWTOR.

This is, o…

Graev and I were talking today and he said, “I hate being forced to play only once a week.”  Players like Graev log in once a week to raid then log out because the end-game in a themepark really is raiding once, getting locked out, and coming back next week to repeat the process.  Graev [...]

One aspect of MWO that the dev’s of MWO talked about in the past was the Information Warfare and no one had a real clue what was meant with this phrase. As January shall be the Information Warfare Month Piranha games wrote another dev blog, this time given more information on Information Warfare. I’m lazy [...]

Om Friday, Warhammer Online Producer James Casey posted some very interesting news.  One big question was remaining about the new Relic system coming in 1.4.5.  What kind of bonuses will the realm that holds both pieces of the relic receive? …

Why can’t items be universal?  Why do I have to obtain a set of gear for PvP and a set for PvE? Having to gather gear with a PvP stat has never made much sense to me. The problem started with players who only wanted to PvP.  These PvP-only types bemoaned the idea of having [...]

I wanted to post this for a long time now.. It’s another little gallery (more to follow) of sceneries found in WAR. Not much text though..lazy me. They were taken on my trips through RvR. No special trips to search for a nice scenery were made. Originally the galleries (well..the series of galleries) were [...]
