Trove celebrates its fifth birthday with Delves on console and Sunfest for all

0
I can hardly believe that Trove - the toy that was created in a Trion office by devs on their breaks and eventually turned into a real MMORPG - is turning five years old this week, and Gamigo didn't let the anniversary go without some kick. For starters, console players on Xbox One and PS4 finally got the Delves update...

EA shareholders criticize ‘exorbitant’ executive pay, slam ‘payoffs for layoffs’

20
Over the course of June, we covered attempts by Activision-Blizzard shareholders to agitate against the company's "Say-on-Pay" policy, which critics say effectively overpays CEO Bobby Kotick to the tune of $100M in options and equity over the last few years, more than equivalent CEOs and excessively more than other staff.

We're all clear on the fact that at this point Kickstarted MMOs do not have a great track record, right? For every Elite: Dangerous or Albion Online there's another Pathfinder Online or Chronicles of Elyria or similar. The flubs are consistent.

Rebirth Online comes this month following its mobile predecessor

We'd be very impressed with you if you were able to remember that a year-and-a-half ago, in the Before Times, there was a mobile game released called Rebirth M. It was a pretty fantasy MMO made by a small studio called Caret Games. Since the entire world is still playing Fortnite on phones, we're guessing it didn't exactly take...

Final Fantasy XI’s newest login campaign offers you a bed for moogles

0
Unfortunately for dedicated Final Fantasy XI players,the latest login campaign for FFXI does not give you a bed made of moogles. In fact, it's not even in the shape of a moogle. It's just an otherwise normal bed decorated with a tasteful moogle duvet and a moogle face on the headboard. But that's still about 200% more moogle than...
