Cheaters, swindlers, the fraudulent, be aware! The popular survival MMO Rust has introduced a new anti-cheat system called CheatPunch. The will help combat the numerous hacks and cheats that have been placed into the game by a number of hooligans, maybe even by some of you watching. Creator Garry Newman, not to be confused with the flamboyant English musician, has stated that almost 5000 players have already been banned. He goes on to tell these players that they have been “naughty boys,” and that they know what they have done. Rust plans on putting up a website to show those unfortunate souls proof as to why they were individually banned. 

As a long-term world of warcraft player that was never any good, I can appreciate the diligence and painstaking persistence of fishing. With that said, GamesCampus has announced today the starting date for the open beta of their realistic fishing MMO, World Tour Fishing. The game will have 25 progressive character levels, 2 different countries to explore, and over 20 unique fishing locations. There will also be a number of daily tournaments, giving players ample opportunity to show the other who is a better human-being in a competitive setting. At 2:00 PM PST February 27th players will be able to dive deep into World Tour Fishing, bring your rods. 

If you play the MMO Lord of Ultima, my condolences to you. The aging MMORTS has announced its official closing date, despite having support of one of the biggest game publishers around. Electronic Arts states that the game will officially be closed on Monday, May 12th. Developers are encouraging players that still have any in-game currency to spend it fast because once the game closes, it’s gone forever. There is a mushy statement from Electronic Arts about the conclusion of this game in our on MMO ATK article. Give it a look if you like movies like the notebook, and that one where Many Moore gets cancer.

Transcript:
Deep Silver recently announced the beginning of the closed
beta sign-ups for its upcoming zombie-themed MOBA game based on the Dead Island
Franchise, Dead Island Epidemic.  The
game was first announced in August of last year, but we’ve seen very little
from the developer since then. 
Apparently the Alpha test went well so they are ready to bring min more
players to help make Epidemic the best possible ZOMBA, Zombie MOBA,
possible.  With a promise of fast-paced
action driven combat where players battle it out for control of vital supply
points, the Dead Island MOBA is one I am looking forward to.

I guess the popular thing nowadays is to sell alpha access
to your game, and roll in the cash.  At
least that’s what it seems like with the critical success of both the DayZ
Standalone’s alpha and now Rust, who reached one million in sales.  A twitter post from the creator, Garry Newman
revealed that Rust hit 1 million units sold since its release in December.  Which got me thinking.  Do you guys like the fact that games are
releasing and selling Alpha access to the public?  Have you bought DayZ or Rust or EverQuest
Next Landmark or any of the other games selling Alpha access?  Let me know below!

And lastly, one of our fans finally sent us some news!  We’ve been advertising to you for weeks that
we don’t know everything going on in the MMO world, so please send us any
stories.  MMO Serbia let us know that a
new game from a Serbian Developer, of course, has begun asking for players to
register for Alpha keys.  Awakening of
Heroes, a MOBA game in which a bunch of ordinary folks become heroes is asking
for Alpha sign-ups on its website.  What
do we know about the game?  Well, there’s
not much, a Video is coming soon and there is some info on a few of the heroes
of the game, which include a grandma, a schoolboy, a butcher and a chick with a
whip.  Check out awakening of heroes.com.

Rust

Rust

Rust is a survival MMORPG currently under development by Facepunch Studios. It takes place in an open world, sandbox, environment where players are free to explore, gather resources, and build where they please. The purpose of the game is simple, survive. Survive in an environment where EVERYTHING will kill you.

In Rust, survival is highly dependent on resource gathering. This can be done by cutting down trees or mining for minerals. Once the resources have been gathered, players are able to craft a multitude of diverse items from hatchets to weapons, and even walls or doors. Use these to hunt wolves, bears, and wildlife, and build your own shelter to keep you safe from the elements.

Be careful… There are other players looking to survive as well! Rust will feature a full-rights loot system, meaning players can loot your dead bones.

Bit surprise from the DayZ camp, the next update has been
delayed!  They should change the name to Delayed
Z, amiright?  Just kidding, I stole that
from one of the comments.  Anyways, the
latest update that went live yesterday was scrapped at the last minute because
of a bug that made players unable to loot corpses.  That’s kind of a big deal in this game if you
didn’t know.  The team hopes to fix the update
soon, which will bring a number of other fixes and adjustments including the
addition of some much anticipated items like the Shotgun, Hacksaw and the new
harbor town Svetloyarsk.

Today Square Enix announced a preview event for the upcoming
2.2 update in A Realm Reborn.  The
previous update that included player housing and end-game content might be
tough to follow up but the team has scheduled a special live video event for
January 25th to focus on the release. 
Among the things we can expect are ‘The Coming of Leviathan’ primal
event and additional details on the PlayStation 4 release.  If you care to wake up at 4AM PST this
Saturday, you too can be the first to hear the details!

 Facepunch Studios
founder Garry Newman has a lot to celebrate following the successful Early
Access launch of Rust.  According to the
developer, Rust has earned over half of the revenue that his first title,
Garry’s Mod, has earned in the past 9 years. 
To put that in perspective, Rust has been on Steam’s Early Access for just
over a month.  What is Rust?  Rust is an Indie RPG game where your only aim
is to survive.
