MMORPG - MMOCrunch - World of Warcraft

I saw an interesting post at the mmorpg.com forums about why players fight on PvP servers.  On one side is a gamer who believes most people do it for the fun and on the other side is a dev who believes its for the loot or reward.
The problem with the Dev’s argument is that most […]

As more and more MMORPGs get released year after year there seems to be an influx in the ability to do things outside of the standard PvE content that traditionally accompanied these games, essentially what we considered to be “the grind”. Developers have added PvP, extensive crafting systems, and sometimes even some sort of […]

In continuing with my recent article on the evolution and revolution of MMOs and their lack of truly bringing anything 2.0-like to the industry, the advent of an MMO hybrid often comes to mind. The genre today has many MMORPGs and a few MMOFPSs, but we really have no MMORPG-FPS games out there, a hybrid […]

The advent of basing an MMORPG around a popular intellectual property (IP) is nothing new to the genre as with such a competitive market it seems almost foolhardy not to include one into your game, however, recent subscription data seems to suggest otherwise.

Lately, there has been a lot to talk about in the MMO-verse, with Age of Conan just getting released and a World of Warcraft expansion pack on track for a holiday unveiling there seems to be nothing that can stop the momentum gained by the industry. However, despite all the success being thrown around by […]

There is one MMO that no matter how many times I unsub, I always end up returning to it a few months/years later. It’s not World of Warcraft, or Everquest; I have absolutely no desire to ever return to either of those games. The game I am talking about is Planetside. Time and again I […]

Lets face it, many of us who are MMO gamers would probably consider ourselves hardcore gamers. And what do hardcore gamers like? Tech toys. So it’s probably reasonable to say that a higher percentage of MMO gamers might have dual monitors compared to casual gamers. With that said, why aren’t […]

We have done lists in the past that show some of the best MMORPGs on the market, but I thought it would be fun if we flipped it and took a look at the top 6 worst MMORGPs based on the composite scores at gamerankings.com. I’m going to come out and say that out […]
