MMORPG - MMOCrunch - World of Warcraft

Trembling Hand has a post up relating to games reviews and, more specifically, MMORPG reviews. It uses the Age of Conan debacle as a case study, of sorts, and while that will no doubt swing the ensuing discussion into a rather lengthy exchange of, “Age of Conan is the worst MMO ever made…” and “No, […]

Early adopters of SOE’s new TCG addition to SWG were surprised, earlier today, when an announcement that a tournament test was about to begin - but non-US players would be unable to take part.
Rushing to the game’s forums, it soon became clear that some of the fine print in the game’s EULA states that tournament […]

Raph Koster - a name which should be known to any student of the MMORPG genre - is celebrating a whopping 10 years of blogging. Hurrah!
Ten years ago, I started the site to archive some of the things I was telling the UO community and the LegendMUD community, things about the ways in which online […]

Hi, I’m Daedren. You might remember me from other articles such as “The effectiveness of raiding in only a tubesock” and “Erling Ellingson: Age of Conan Dev by day, Transvestite Cyborg by night?”. It’s me, alright, and I’m here, playing the role of the unbearer of bad news. I’m not bearing it, because it’s not […]

We love getting recognised for our work here at MMOCrunch Manor and readers of my personal blog might already realise that I’m already a two-time “Blog-O-Steria” award winner over at Channel Massive for some recent pieces I’ve tossed up here. One of these awards even meant unlocking a new badge category: the “Pwn3d by a […]

Last December I posted an article about the top 5 most memorable events in MMORPG history which received a huge response from the MMO community.  Today I decided it revisit this post and list a few more of the top events in MMORPG history.  These are in no particular order:
Serenity Now Bombs a Funeral - […]

Regular readers will know that I don’t think too highly of Funcom’s truly awful Age of Conan. Part of the pain/hate/call it what you like, is that I wanted the game to do extremely well and, yes, I believed Funcom when it said that it would take the lessons learned from Anarchy Online and apply […]

We’re raising the bar around here. We’ve noticed that a lot of alleged MMO news sources and Warhammer info sites have been spawning lots of generic, non-informative and highly “graphical” previews and sneak peaks at some of the features of Warhammer Online. That’s all good for some, but what about our readers, many who are […]

There’s a young guy over on the BioWare forums who has lately taken a real shine to disagreeing with absolutely everything I say when I’m posting over there. It’s kind of charming (albeit in a slightly annoying way), to the degree that I’m sure he’d happily argue that black was white, up was down, and […]

Hi, I’m Daniel. You might remember me from such other MMO articles like “It was great except for the Elves with 5 o’clock shadows” and “Tits and Fatalities aside, Age of Conan sucks flaccid donkey genitals”. I’m new here; and bringing you a highly opinionated, wordy rant on the latest of MMO trends: the term […]
