Hands-on: Star Trek Online {Joystiq}
Sep 9th 2009 10:51PM While getting into the STO closed beta was no where near the main reason that I got a lifetime sub to CO, it certainly helped make the decision easier :)
Bill Roper explains teams and SuperGroups in new Champions trailer {Massively}
Aug 31st 2009 4:01PM Heaven forbid they use a common term that has been used in comics since the 50's. No, wait, they should call it some other generic term that other MMO's use! That'll work better!
Cryptic: MS holding back Xbox 360 Champions Online {Joystiq}
Aug 31st 2009 3:58PM I don't have a problem paying MS there $4 and change a month for my Gold membership and a monthly fee for an MMO as well. What I am dissapointed about is that my lifetime subscription won't work for the 360 version of Champions (if it ever releases) since they will be different servers. I was really looking forward to playing with PC friends while I was on my 360.
I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for a 360 version of this game. Considering that Cryptic is hiring for PS3 developers at the moment, I suspect that STO will be on the PS3 and that Champions will eventually make its way there as well.
No subscription for All Points Bulletin {Massively}
Aug 17th 2009 10:43AM I like the 'velvet rope' model. If done well I get exactly what I want out of a game without paying for the cruft that I don't care about. Some days I feel like the only person that doesn't bristle at the idea of micro transactions.
Champions Online offering $199 lifetime sub, access to STO beta 'later this year' {Massively}
Aug 3rd 2009 9:16PM Considering that it is being published by Atari and created by Cryptic, the lifetime subscription doesn't scare me a lot. Atari / Infogrames has had some really hard times over the past few years but they seem to be making a slow comeback.
Of course, Hellgate was going to be amazing...
CrimeCraft open beta starts today {Massively}
Aug 1st 2009 9:57AM Wow. What a horrible game. It would take a total revamp of the engine to get me even vaguely interested in that piece of crap again. It was like playing Quake 2 on a Commodore Vic 20.
Anti-Aliased: Microtransaction mayhem pt. 2 {Massively}
Jul 31st 2009 9:42PM From what Cryptic has said though, if it has an in game effect (like a new costume piece) you can still find them in game. They are simply offering people the option to pay for it and get it immediately if folks don't want to grind for that rare drop. To me, this should make folks happy not all pissy.
CrimeCraft open beta starts today {Massively}
Jul 31st 2009 1:36PM Whenever I try to download the beta client even while logged into my free FP account, I am prompted to register a new account. I really hate FP.
Anti-Aliased: The Daze of Darkfall pt. 2 {Massively}
Jul 17th 2009 6:05PM I don't consider the idea of fighting your guild mates to level skills to be exploitable. If you want to learn Judo, you don't go running out and start attacking people at the bus stop. You get together with like minded individuals and practice on each other. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
MMO racism: the No Elves! movement picks up steam {Massively}
Jun 11th 2009 12:34PM I came in to say exactly this. I loved those little ads in the back of Dragon Magazine.
