ArtCraft's Raph Koster is the star witness of an in-depth interview in which he discusses the development of Crowfall using the perspective of his decades-long career in the industry. He said that the developers aren't strictly forging new territory with this PvP title: "A lot of what they're doing aren't so much new inventions as bringing back ideas that...

If you've been gazing with longing eyes at the trailer for TERA's next class... well, it's not here yet, so you're going to have to gaze longingly for a little while longer. But it's getting closer, as the class is now available for Korean players to enjoy. If you've been longing to punch things to death in high heels...

For the past two months, Neverwinter has been all about the next major patch, which will give players the ability to band together, take control of a stronghold, and then take on other players with their own strongholds.

Hello old (and new) friends. It's been quite a while, so I imagine a quick (re-)introduction is in order before we get to the good stuff. Some of you may remember me from the days of Massively-that-was, in which case I hope you can suppress the urge to close this tab long enough to finish reading. But if you...

The Smed Twitter spigot is no longer dispensing tweets. Daybreak President John Smedley is famous for his stready stream of Twitter dialogue with MMO gamers, particularly H1Z1 players, who may have been the last recipients of his tweets yesterday. Now his account has been completely deleted. "I walked away from Twitter of my own choice," he told Reddit. "I really love making games....

I don't know about you lot, but I really enjoy ArenaNet's Points of Interest livestream that airs on its official Twitch channel. It contains a massive amount of juicy information that often rewards its eager audience with crisply presented details, outstripping that found in the quick news posts on any given topic. Needless to say, it's almost always worth my while...

If you could control a few million ants to do your bidding, how would you use them? Probably less responsibly than Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man, which is why we're glad that he has those powers and you do not. Still, if bugs are your thing, then you can take control as Ant-Man when he comes to Marvel Heroes as the...

Elder Scrolls Online has been cruising along in buy-to-play mode for a few months now (and reportedly doing quite well for itself), but its next true test of the new business model will come later this summer with the game's first DLC update. The Imperial City DLC pack is scheduled to land on August 31st for PC and Mac, with...
