In today’s weekly Age of Conan update there’s news that mounted combat will be added to the game. There is going to be different types of mounts depending on speed and health and within each of those types there will be further variations. This game is adding a lot of excellent features that no other MMO has and it's starting to look like the next great MMO that everyone has to play.
Friday update #12
This time around the topic discussed is the enemies you will come upon when you delve into the age of Hyboria - what they are, what they do, how they act, etc, etc. From what we hear in the vid it looks like Age of Conan might turn out to be very immersive, something that most current MMOs fail to accomplish in any sort of level or just never attempt.

To celebrate World of Warcraft’s third birthday as a live MMO, Blizzard is giving away prizes starting today. Once a week until December 15th, Blizzard will give away a different prize ranging from gift certificates, WoW action figure sets, and finally ending with the BIG ONE, an iPod Touch. To be eligible to win these prizes all you need is a WoW user account in “good standing” during the time of the sweepstakes and then you're set. Well, 'cept folks in Florida and Rhode Island. They are excluded...
NCsoft recently acquired total control of COH/COV as Cryptic Studios headed over to make the Marvel MMO. I made this post a week ago speculating on how this whole deal went about and how NC Soft came out basically untouched. Now, according to 1UP.com and Next-gen, the Marvel Universe MMO is looking like it's heading the way of the West African Black Rhino. This means that you are probably not going to find this game in your local game shop. Apparently the game is so fugly that if there isn't...
Whoooooo! Fury is 30 days old whooooo! One whole month of being a live MMO, everybody rejoice... But seriously, in their one month celebration address they mention a few things they will be working on to make Fury a better game. New 1v1 games, and new "Carnage" match, changes to abilities, and lots more. During this celebration weekend they are also doubling the amount of of gold and essence you receive from combat, so if you want to try to unleash your Fury download the 10 day free trial and show...
Exteel is NC Soft's next MMO up to bat in it's very, very big lineup. According to their description it "blends the immersive thrill of an FPS with the furious and brutal intensity of Hong Kong gun-play mixed with the feel of classic robot anime." So this game should really be called Gundam Boiled Arena or something like that.
I haven't jumped into the action yet but from the info on the site it looks like it's going to be a very fast pace version of the Armored Core games. So if you are a...
The folks at Turbine have taken out the ability to use Trolls and Rangers for the monster combat part of the game. Actually let me just copy/paste what they wrote.
"Greetings,
Trolls and Ranger session play will be unavailable until further notice.
We're still examining the issue and we'll keep you posted about any future changes.
Sorry guys. We'll let you know when we can open the session play back up."
There is really no info past this. In the board you can gather a bit more of what looks to...
Ok, so this is my third post commenting about Square Enix's zero tolerance on any shenanigans from players in FFXI so you should know what's going on. If you don't then read these posts.
Second set of bans
First set of bans
This time around they have banned 4,400 accounts and temporarily suspended 1,210. This brings a total of around 20,000 accounts banned from the game in three months. And that brings up a couple of questions;
1. How much of the population of FFXI is made up of farmers?

The newest patch for the World of Warcraft came out and, like always, sparks are flying!
Hunters got "buffed" so everyone is crying; the way Global Cooldown was changed also has everyone crying; Zul' Aman is on contested territory so everyone is crying, etc, etc, etc. Either people in WOW cry more than in other games, or there are so many people playing that game that there is always going to be some one crying one of the changes.
For example, one thing that annoyed me from this patch was the...
Earlier this week Cryptic Studios announced that they we selling EVERYTHING about City of Heroes/Villians to NC Soft, the intellectual and proprietary of both of those games are now in the hands of NC Soft. They have 100% control over what happens in all aspects of either game.
*** From this point on this is all speculation***
To me this all looks like another evil master plan by Marvel. They sued NC Soft because they apparently they were profiting from their property because people created...
