MMO Fury No Longer Has any Fury Left
Still trying to play Auron’s financial bust Fury? Better start a marathon session as the game is going offline forever. Auron actually shut their doors last year, so it’s actually a small miracle the game has been up at all. The $13 million dollar investment into this PvP player title collapsed right on top [...]

According to Gender Swapping And Socializing In Cyberspace: An Exploratory Study, 68% of female MMO players and 54% of male players played characters of the opposite gender.

Gamasutra has a short but informative interview with Richard “Lord General British” Garriot (pictured), creative force behind Tabula Rasa.

MMOs are a uniquely self-perpetuating genre. By asking no more of the player than a monthly fee, they provide a constant wealth of new content, feeding the addiction of both casual and hardcore players alike. When you’re playing MMOs, you have time for little else, especially when it comes to multiplayer games. With new content [...]

Eve Online is basically Ultima Online in space. This is a good thing. Too few MMOs have aped UO’s unprecedented freedom, opting instead to follow the strict leveling treadmill structure of Everquest. Flying in the face of convention has benefited Iceland’s CCP Games, with Eve Online currently sporting 195,000 subscribers and with a single server [...]
