Is it the players fault this time?

2008-10-24 18:03:54 by Keen in Keen and Graev's Gaming Blog

Realm Pride or the feeling of fighting for your realm simply for the glory of your realm does not exist Players are worried about the points. Theyre trying to min/max their way to the top...

Should MMO players be able to freely choose the appearence of their characters, or should they have to earn it?

2008-09-03 07:29:00 by Hektor in MMOdus Operandi
 
...players wear ANY armour in the 'appearence' slots, because you can't have a Warrior who looks like a mage. Not only does it makes no sense that someone's able to hide plate armour under cloth robes, but it's game unbalancing in PvP. When I was playing my WoW rogue, I would deal with a Warrior and a Mage differently in the battlegrounds...

Blizzard Entertainment's jump from RTS developer to MMOG powerhouse seems like a no-brainer in retrospect, thanks largely to the people behind the project.

Do the most active players shape the opinion of the rest?

2008-01-29 08:12:55 by Tobold in Tobold's MMORPG Blog
 
...players matter because they influence who buys and plays the game. The players who spend the most time in the game, the raiders, are supposedly also the guild leaders, the bloggers, the forum commenters, and so on.
