For those of us who speak “MMO” like ‘aggro’, ‘ganking’, ‘Pvp’, ‘PvE’, etc. We probably will skip the tutorial of a new MMORPG game.
But what about the millions of people out there who have never played an MMORPG before? Are the current tutorials in existing games good enough for them? Some would be content with [...]

Almost every MMO company would like to fend off the 800 pound gorilla that is World of Warcraft. What’s astounding is that it’s a subscription based game in a renaissance world of free or item-based business models. It can’t be denied, WoW has gone from being big to being a part of pop culture. We’ve [...]

In my old post, Cheating in Online Games, I outlined the many ways one can well… cheat. Note that my piece is not a guide on cheating but rather what groups and companies are doing to combat it.
And speaking of trying to fight the thousands of dickheads who attempt to cheat, online game developers are [...]
Unless some individuals or developer studios come up with something original and innovative for the MMORPG industry, the average lifecycle or expectancy of a typical MMORPG will be from 2 to 4 years.
Of course, there will be blockbuster titles like World of Warcraft which can outlive this normal shelf life, but those will be rare.
What [...]
A lot has happened to the MMORPG industry ever since the release of titles such as Ultima Online and Everquest in the late ’90s. Business models have evolved. One of the first was the subscription model, often being “pushed” by a free trial limited either by days or character level. In fact, that mode of [...]
Before I became head of marketing for Level Up, I was head of Community. My job then was designing and running in-game events for almost all of our games. It was loads of fun, something that I don’t get to do today since I’m busy handling 5 out of the 7 titles in our portfolio.

The publisher of games such as Lumines and Meteos will be releasing an MMORPG free of charge to PS3 owners, Angel Love Online.The game has already been released for the PC since last December, so the game isn’t too new. The game will be out December this year. But what’s the catch? Q will be making profit the way that many other Korean MMO’s have been getting their share for the past few years: micro transactions. This has been seen in popular MMO’s such as Maple Story; the game is absolutely free to play, but it’ll cost you a few dollars here and there for the extra perks. Before you know it, you will have spent well over the price of a normal PC game.Source: Digital Battle Online Games MMORPG RPG MMO Angel Love online PS3 games PlayStation free games

Combate en DuelsDuels es un nuevo juego de rol gratuito en Internet (MMORPG).Es tanto una red social como juego de rol. Te creas un personaje del estilo de World of Warcraft, le compras armas, armaduras, etc., y retas a otros jugadores a duelo. Gana y recibirás experiencia, oro y algunas cosas mas. Pierde y no obtendrás nada.El fundador Andrew Busey dice que quería crear un juego donde los usuarios pudieran jugar unos contra otros asincrónicamente y en tandas de 10-30 minutos, pero igual hacer avanzar al personaje de una forma adictiva. Lo logró.Cuando retas a alguien a duelo tu configuras como quieres pelear pero no tienes control sobre las acciones mismas de la pelea. Entonces el oponente puede aceptar incluso cuando tu estás desconectado y el duelo se llevará a cabo de todas maneras. El resultado final es una especie de mezcla entre World of Warcraft y Magic: the Gathering.Cada usuario tiene su perfil donde se ven sus estadísticas, avatar e historia de sus peleas. Otros usu
If you’re one of the top MMO players in the world, beware. Some greedy bastards might just abduct you for your password.
This happened recently in Sao Paolo, Brazil when an armed gang of four kidnapped one the world’s best gamers.
To quote that report; “An armed gang of four kidnapped one of the world’s top RPG gamers after one criminal’s girlfriend lured him into a fake date using Orkut, Google’s social network. After sequestering him in Sao Paulo, they held a gun against the victim’s head for five hours to get his password, which they wanted to sell for $8,000.”

Sometimes, as an MMORPG player, you will get invites to join a CBT (closed beta testing) for a new game… for example, Perfect World or (soon) Ragnarok 2.
When this happens and you have a new game, the difference between being a n00b and becoming an “expert” lies in the knowledge and information that you get for that new game. Whether you do it via web research or via constant playing, information is key and like the old cliche - “knowledge is power”, holds true.
This short article will hopefully help guide on where to get key bits of information to become a better player…
