Rant: Gold Spammers
“They should be kicked down a burning flight of stairs covered in broken glass and AIDS.”

These were the words a guildmate of mine recently used to describe his feeling towards the parasites of the MMO genre we have all come to know and hate, the gold spammers. Every major MMO in the last […]

It seems that when it comes to MMORPGs most of us prefer the fantasy genre.  This is evident by not only by looking at the top MMORPGs (Wow, GuildWars, LoTRO, Runescape, EQ, Lineage, DAoC, FFXI), but also by the fact that most of the MMORPGs that are created are fantasy based.  Is this a case […]

Rant: Server Queue
The release of Warhammer Online has brought us something we haven’t seen in a very long time besides good PvP, and that is the horror of server queues. I was lucky enough to pick probably the highest pop server for my guild to play on, but also unlucky enough to be faced with […]

Of course I’m talking about the recently released Warhammer Online and not actual war.  As you might have read from Malcom’s review below, Warhammer is a crap load of fun, so I’m not going to post another review of the game, instead I’ll post my opinion on what I think thus far.
Currently I have two […]

With Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning seeing its release on September 17th, there hasn’t been a lack of people wanting to share their views on how good or bad EA Mythic’s latest MMORPG is. Unfortunately, for me, it has taken a while to be able to get a chance to sit down and write my […]

Back in May, I posted an article about how Age of Conan shipped 700,000 units for its big release.  Today, although a bit late, I learned that Mythic has shipped more than double that, 1.5 million units to retailers for its release tomorrow (or should I say today since it’s 1am) Sept 18th, absolutely crushing […]

Just when I thought I had escaped writing about Age of Conan, something as superb as THIS knocks on my electronic front door. The infamous Gaute Godager, Game Director for Age of Conan and of Steak and Wine fame, has ‘resigned’ from Funcom. For those that don’t know what ‘resigned’ means, it means that they […]

Hi, I’m Daedren. You might remember me from other interviews like “Mark Jacobs: He Didn’t Call Me Back” and “Richard Garriott: Corp Por or In Vas Mani?” I write this not with a gun to my head, or a sharp weapon to my balls, but because I’m an advocate of objective journalism in the MMO […]

Sanya Weathers has tossed down a bit of a rant on her Eating Bees blog, regarding the relationship between media and public relations (albeit from her role as a Community Manager for MMORPGs which is much the same thing). As someone who has worked as a journalist and a PR manager (but mostly journalist) for […]

I’ve been following this game’s progress for some time now and every time I hear something new it gets my blood pumping.  Recently at PAX 2008, IGN had a chance to jump into the pilot seat and get a first look at the gameplay, also if you click the link there’s a brand new trailer […]
