Last year I briefly worked as a designer
and developer for a Norwegian company that built and
sold power plant management software. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the industry (I’m sure most of you follow it with deep fascination), when the majority of power companies ...

A friend of mine on Facebook told me
about Code of Everland , a new massively multiplayer
online game developed by the UK government’s Department for Transport (DfT) designed to help children, aged between 9 and 13, gain essential skills for staying safe on the roads. Finally, the ...

After the great response (thanks to everyone for
all of the fascinating and insightful comments) to my
article comparing buying gold in MMORPGs to sex in the Victorian era , I thought it might be interesting to put up a poll, asking the dreaded question directly. I toyed with the idea of ...

Have You Ever Bought Gold?

The Victorians were not only famous for their
prudish views on the fine art of reproduction but
also, according to many sources, equally famous for their hypocritical acts of sexuality and plain kinkiness that went on behind closed doors. Sex in the Victorian era was a true example of ...

A couple of days ago I received an
email from SOE promoting the new Everquest 2 expansion,
Sentinel’s Fate, which is due out in February. To be honest, I’m not that excited about the expansion because it’s just another top heavy add-on that increases the level cap and adds a ...

Can’t believe I missed this one. Back in
June, SOE released a documentary detailing the history and
production behind Everquest, one of the “first generation” of MMORPGs and perhaps the most nostalgic for me, to celebrate it’s 10th anniversary. They showed it at the ...

Back in 2004, my average play session of
Everquest was 4 hours. Aside from any sessions I
may be able to sneak in during the day and apart from any social activities in the evening, my usual play time was from 10pm to around 2am. This of course was the beauty of being a student and a memory ...

So it’s official: Star Trek Online will be
released on 2nd February 2010 in the US and
5th February 2010 in Europe (hopefully the usual head start programs will apply and us Euros can get early access along with our American buddies). Not really surprised at such an early release date ...

In a moment of utter lunacy, I decided
to purchase the Pandaren Monk pet for World of
Warcraft so I could see what all the fuss was about and review it for my blog. It comes with a hefty price take in the UK (£9, more than my monthly subscription and about 30% more than the US equivalent) but ...

Something SOE does quite well in Everquest 2
(and presumably some of it’s other games) is encourage
loyalty from their player base. They have a very simple mechanic called veteran rewards which allows you to claim fluff items, titles, experience potions and the like depending on how ...

Of course the big news today was that
Blizzard have entered the micro-transaction scene and are now
selling in-game pets , bound to your account, via their online store. Can’t say I’m really surprised as Blizzard have been slowly introducing more and more paid services over the ...

The original term, as far as I know
it, was MMORPG - Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing
Game. It spawned when the concept of the RPG game was taken live across the Internet and introduced to hundreds of thousands of players in a simultaneous world (I don’t know how the term MUD ...

What Is “MMO”?

One of the toughest things about the MMORPG
genre is that it’s not always possible to take
your friends with you when you change game. People tend to find a MMO they enjoy and play it over long periods of time (months, if not years) and that’s great for forming strong bonds and ...

Although I participated in the World of Warcraft
beta and even imported the USA version of the
game before it was released here in Europe, I got stuck into Everquest 2 instead and didn’t properly start playing WoW until the end of October 2008, just over a year ago. In my year of ...

Last Tuesday I purchased and downloaded Torchlight and
I figured I may as well share my initial
thoughts and impressions about it with everyone. Yeah, I know that every other blogger on the planet is doing exactly the same thing but, well, um, yeah. Can’t really think of anything to say ...
