2008-04-10 09:57:02 by Editor in VirginWorlds MMO News
...Nifty! today, rather than anything sexy or cool in the accepted sense. Its to do with vendors, and crafting. At this late stage in the day, we're all familiar with the standard Vendor interface that seems to have become de rigueur in most MMOs. I use WoW as the example, but variants can be found everywhere; the optimistic 'shopkeeper' stood...

...Nifty! #7: EVE Online's Exploration While a fine and generally all-round Nifty! game in many ways, EVE Online has never quite had the richness of Small-Group and Solo PvE content that marks out a good MMO of the more traditional sort. For many its never been a problem, and for the most part, its the Players that are the content in EVE. But...

...Nifty! bits where I'm in the minority this time, I think. The Age of Conan approacheth, and all up and down the Interwebs, fierce battles are being waged as we speak, with the Fanbois and Haters out in full force, all pitching in with their "Reasons Why I Think You Should/Shouldn't Buy Age of Conan", come May 20th. Quite emotive stuff in many...

...Nifty! #9: World of Warcraft's Warrior Stances I'm sure regular readers will have noticed that I'm looking for something Nifty! in every game I've played, but when it came to WoW, I did have some troubles. Successful, and indeed, good, as it is WoW isn't especially renowned for bringing anything startlingly original to the genre, per se. It...

...nifty, but theyre expensive, cumbersome, and when they break (red ring of death anyone?) theres no easy fix. You cant just hop on another Xbox to troubleshoot your first one. They have far less selection than PCs. And you cant do all the other nifty PC stuff while you play games on them (e-mail, web surf, chat with friends). As far as Im...

...Nifty! from the Periphery today, and a bit of a walk down memory lane. Pet classes are nothing new, and pretty much every MMO since Ultima Online has offered some mechanism whereby an Adventurer (of any epoch) need not have to rely on their own strength alone. From EQ's Magician and Necromancer, through AO's Metaphysicist, (Which wins a...
