MMORPG - MMOCrunch

Not sure if you might have an addiction problem.   Well if 3 or more of these have happened to you, then you might be addicted to MMORPGs.
- When looking for a cashier at a store you look up trying to find the icon above their head.
- You squished a bug then got disappointed when no […]

We’ve been waiting for it, and at long last, two of the four classes removed from Warhammer: Online at release are going to be released this December. However, it seems Mythic is giving players the opportunity to complete several events which will allow them to play either class a full week before they are officially […]

One of my biggest issues so far with every MMO I’ve ever played is that they don’t allow you to edit the game map.  Seriously, wtf is the big deal with allowing players to add their own notes or mark locations on game maps?  It doesn’t seem like a very complicated feature to add to […]

So here we are. Bioware, a company that has a pretty good rep for its single player RPGs (although it was pretty brave to add its name to the unfinished and sometimes unplayable KOTOR II), is taking a step into the big time. Playing with the big boys. Building an MMORPG on top of Simutronic’s […]

W00t!  Today marks the first anniversary of MMOCrunch and its been quite a year.  We’ve had some writers come and go, won a few awards and have had a great time posting about all things MMO.  In the upcoming year we hope to continue our efforts of bringing you highly opinionated posts about the MMO […]

Rant: RvR - Not One Step Back!
Order 227 was issued by the Soviet High Command and Stalin during World War 2 to deal with cowards on the battlefield. Order 227 was read out to all troops in the Russian armed forces and here are the critical parts of the order…

“And so the time for retreating […]

I had a chance to play Atlantica Online earlier this week in-between being sick and playing Warhammer: Online. For a game that is in beta, it seems to want to be treated as a game that has been already released, claiming in its advertisements: “Love it, or we’ll give cash for your character!” This caught […]

People are probably wondering why I haven’t posted for awhile and the answer is simple: I’ve weened myself off MMORPGs.
