Land of Britain creates card game to fund the MMO

Land of Britain may be a long way off from launch, but that hasn't stopped Potato Killer Studios for developing a spin-off online card game called Fangold matching the game's world. Fangold will allow players to build a deck of cards based on heroes and skills in the game. As with Hearthstone, new cards can be bought with real money, in-game...

Blizzard still succeeding despite World of Warcraft slide

60
There's no doubt that Blizzard took a mighty hit this past quarter as it lost three million World of Warcraft subscribers in the post-expansion, post-holiday period. And while that definitely impacted the company's bank account, the good news is that success in other areas is softening the blow. Picking up the slack for the sub loss are Blizzard's other titles,...

Trove previews the upcoming Boomeranger class

13
Another big patch is coming to Trove in the near future, and it's bringing along a new class. The class feels... familiar, somehow. We know it's going to use a bow, bombs, a boomerang, and a sword. And it bashes a lot of monsters. And there's a reference or two in there to smashing pottery in exchange for valuables... Oh,...

How Skyforge’s invasion system works

The world of Skyforge does not sound like a fun place to live. In addition to everything else that people have to deal with (monsters from the deep, cult leaders, occasionally overspiced Mexican food) you'll also need to deal with full-on invasions of the planet by Mechanoid forces. The latest developer diary outlines how these invasions work, how players...
So many colors in the rainbow.

Perfect Ten: Ten MMOs still going after ten years

52
It struck me, very recently, that a decade is a long time for MMOs. If we're going to count Ultima Online as the first proper MMO as we think of them - and I am - we're almost 18 years out. Most games have not seen all of those years, and I'm not just talking about the games that launched...

Conquer Online celebrates 12th anniversary with new content

4
Happy birthday to Conquer Online, which turns 12 years old today. The title is throwing a month-long series of in-game events to celebrate the occasion, including a barbeque and something called "paint paint paint." We're guessing that it has to do with painting. Even better than anniversary events is the release of its sizable Taoists Ascending content update, which adds...

Elder Scrolls Online video demonstrates freedom and choice

77
Do you like freedom? Do you like choices? Well, of course you do; you're a living person, not RoboTron 2010. Elder Scrolls Online purports to love both of these as well, which will make you best buddies in the future (or so the marketing hopes go). In a new video, ESO gives a rundown of the core features of the...
