Adeptus Auctores: PAX Imperium . In the grim darkness of distant Seattle, there was only a brief period of carnage and slaughter, but still the laughter of thirsting gods.
Transparency is the best route to a fans heart. Hype and faith can substitute for many things, but truth is stronger still.
The Laughter of the Gods

WoW Wednesday: Hacked! . When you play an MMO, and I really mean play it, you invest every single fiber of your existence into it, dedicating a portion of your life to virtual currency and meta-physical items that mean nothing at all to the common person. But, that doesn’t matter to you, I’m sure, as it
PAX Prime Gigantic Interview . I had the pleasure of trying out Gigantic, an upcoming team-based action game developed by Motiga, at PAX Prime and then got to sit down with gameplay designer Nick Mhley. Even though Gigantic is only in its alpha infancy, it feels polished and is a blast to play. It’s definitely a game that
ArcheAge: The Hasla Herald Issue One . The dust has settled, the open beta has ended and many of us are patiently waiting for ArcheAge’s head start this Friday at 1pm EST.

FFXIV: PvP and You! Part 1: The Wolves' Den . So Final Fantasy XIV is known far and wide for its resurrection and its wonderful variances in raiding and field content. However, all MMOs have to face off against the inevitable tide of requests for that all-so-needed feature: player versus player content.
Now, I used to PvP quite heavily
Bringing Back Paragon: An Interview with Nate Downes on City of Heroes . As Meticulous Meta I had the opportunity to interview Paragon Studios employees, uber fans, and do so much more. I spoke briefly at the Atlas Park 33 player rally and lead campaigns to save the city we so loved. None of that compares to the awesomeness that Nate Downes has accomplished. You
Nosgoth, Hunt Or Be Hunted . Nosgoth is not for your Legacy of Kain fanboys. I know this, you know this, and Square Enix knows this. While at PAX Prime this year I got the chance to speak with some of the development team currently working on Nosgoth, and their goal is to reach a whole different player base; one that’s
Beta Data: September 12, 2014 . This week we say goodbye to Destiny and ArcheAge as they leave the safety of beta and launch into the world of live. Sandbox MMORPGs seem to be the big thing this week with news from Albion, Life is Feudal, and two new Sci-Fi Sandbox MMOs on Kickstarter. If Sandbox isn’t your thing the
Massive Thought: Who Are We? . This week will mark something special for this column, not only has it gotten the Saturday spot as you might have noticed, but this week it will be all about the thought itself. In this week’s Massive thought, we will leave science aside for a minute; we will leave scholars and their studies
Wargaming Sets A New Standard With World of Warships . First there was World of Tanks, then we got World of Warplanes, and now we’re getting World of Warships. This year at PAX Prime I had the opportunity to sit down with the Wargaming team, discuss their newest MMO and watch it in action. Even though World of Warships is still in its alpha stag
Nexus Times: The Bronze Age of Wildstar . The newest patch release for WildStar has basically turned the attunement process for Genetic Archives into an easy mode experience. This new era is cleverly donned “The Bronze Age” by the Carbine community manager because instead of requiring players to complete dungeons on silver difficult
WoW Wednesday: A Game of Numbers . For those who have been playing World of Warcraft since vanilla, you will remember how grand it was to have participated in an epic 40-man raid. I, for one, wish I could have been in something that was touted to be so awesome during the “golden age” of raiding. This isn’t t
Skyforge PVP Preview . Here at MMOgames we have been keeping our eye on Skyforge for some time now. This upcoming MMORPG from the Allods team promises some exciting features. It promises to have exciting combat, a unique progression system and a competitive PVP environment. We got a chance to sit down with the dev
FFXIV: PvP and You! Part 2: Frontlines . In my last article on FFXIV’s PvP, I wasn’t particularly kind to the Wolves’ Den. There’s always another side to the coin, though. Now, having given it a bit more work than I did before, I haven’t really changed my opinion significantly. This doesn’t come
TOME: Immortal Arena . As the MOBA genre expands and more companies are attempting to break into the industry, there’s even more need for innovation and a separation from the games that started it all. The most recent MOBA I’ve had the pleasure of trying out is TOME: Immortal Arena. I got my first hands-on experie

Hasla Herald: Launch Week in ArcheAge . Head start is over, launch is upon us and boy has it been an interesting experience. Over the past couple weeks the hype machine has been churning and the internet trolls have been out in force. Cries of pay to win and the games longevity have been called in to question. Everywhere from fact
Ready Action: Feminism in the Future of Gaming . This was something I meant to write about for a while—I had my eye on it earlier this summer when the Assassin’s Creed: Unity controversy was shaking the industry. But other things came around first, and I’m ultimately kind of glad it did because the original article would have been unfairly
LEGO Minifigures Online Interview . Life as a LEGO Minifig is never easy. There’s always another plot to thwart, item to build or companion to meet.
