Civilization MMO in the Works?

We all know that there is talks about a BioShock MMO. However, what hasn’t been overly reported on, as of yet, is that it appears that Civilization is also up for the same consideration. According to this Take2 report (via MTV) it would appear that there is a chance that we may get to see […]

MMORPGs and the Worst PC Game Launches, as told by 1UP

I don’t normally write about other news. I like to write my own stuff about my own thoughts and ideas. Any regulars here at MMOCrunch generally know that. That said, however, I just could not get over this recent article done by 1UP. Done in traditional list style, 1UP decided to create their own top […]

Where are the Occult MMORPGs?

There are a lot of different MMORPGs out there. Despite the industry being overwhelmed by fantasy MMOs, you can still get your fill of other types of games as well. There are plenty of Sci-fi MMORPGs, a Super Hero MMO (with 2 others in development), a couple Pirate themed MMOs. Hell, you even have some […]

The Do’s and Do Not’s of Guild Drama

There are people in this world who absolutely love drama. I don’t know why but they are out there and they are evil. No, I’m not talking about your schools theatre department, or any of the local playwrights out and about in your town. Those people are cool… probably, whatever. No, the people I am […]

Your MMO, Your World

Today’s MMORPG worlds are vast and expansive. You need to look no farther than World of Warcraft to fully understand just how big some of these worlds can get. I once attempted to run from the southernmost point of Tanaris to Orgrimmar and bailed about half way through. Suffice it to say I was running […]

Pirates and Gold Spammers…

And when I say “pirates” I am talking about the newly released Pirates of the Burning Sea game. You see, I have recently raised my sails, hoisted my flag, and set out to sea in this new frontier in the MMORPG world. It’s a great game and I have having loads of fun; anybody who […]

LF Tank/Healer/DPS! PST!

In our MMO society today we basically have three groups of players. There is no denying it, really, almost every MMO uses these “archtypes” for their games (some exceptions apply). Of course, the archtypes I am speaking about are the tank, DPS, and healers. Using this model of gameplay most MMORPGs have basically become the same […]

We Don’t Want a BioWare Star Wars MMO. . .

And by we I really mean me. I really don’t speak for Mike or the others that write here at MMOCrunch.com. Each writer here has their own opinion and mine is my own. Anyways onto the article!
I don’t want BioWare to make an MMORPG based off of the Star Wars franchise. Wait! Don’t crucify me yet. I […]

Does RMT Help or Hurt the MMO?

I read a very interesting thesis paper today by a student from Seoul National University. It was basically a over-all view of the RMT industry, and it proposed a very big question: does the act of Real Money Trading have an adverse effect on the demand for an MMORPG? That is to say, do games that […]
