Ten Ways Social Media Has Changed The MMO

Social networks have effectively changed the way we…well, do pretty much everything. We interact differently, work differently, and even view the world differently since the birth of Facebook – there’s even talk that it’s bringing about a fundamental change in the way we think. It should thus come as no surprise that they’ve also had a considerable impact on the world of MMOs.

Eight of the Most Unnerving MMO Boss Fights

Believe it or not, there’s actually a whole collection of unnerving bosses scattered throughout the history of MMOs – if only by virtue of their backstories. One has only to stop and look. What follows is just a sampling. I’m certain there are more out there, somewhere. Feel free to share any I’ve missed in the comments.

Ten of the Strangest MMOs Ever Made

Not every game ever developed makes perfect sense. Although the MMO market is (presumably) harder to break into than most, it nevertheless has its fair share of odd ducks. After a bit of digging, I’ve managed to come up with a list of the strangest black sheep MMOs have to offer. Note that none of these games are necessarily BAD…they’re just head-scratchingly, wall-bangingly bizarre.

Five MMO Mechanics and Trends That Genuinely Need To Die

In every genre, there exists a few mechanics which are, for lack of better terms, absolute trash. MMOs are no exception. Whether holdovers from earlier, simpler times or new (poorly realized) concepts, dealing with most of the mechanics and ‘features’ on this list is a process not dissimilar to trudging through a tax return.

The Six Most Legendary Trolls In MMO History

Occasionally, someone will step up and set themselves apart from the crowd. Their reasons are always their own, but they inevitably carry out plots and pranks so cunning, unique, or thoroughly vile; one can’t help but be at least a little impressed. Today, we’re going to pay tribute to some of the most legendary trolls of MMOs past.

The Six Rarest Items In MMO History

There’s a trend in the world of MMORPGs: gamers are like magpies. We love our rare items, we love our loot, and we can’t get enough of the bragging rights that go hand-in-hand with an awesome drop. Developers are keyed into this trend, of course…which is why they’ve populated their titles with some of the most difficult-to-locate items possible.

Top 10 Free-to-Play MMO Games For Mobile Devices

The growing trend of MMORPG obsession knows no bounds. Luckily, there are developers with a mission to give players their favorite genre of gaming wherever they go. That?s why today we will be looking at the Top 10 best mobile titles in the MMO gaming genre.

Top 10 Retro (8-bit & 16-bit) MMO Games

Gaming has gone through some massive changes since coming into existence, but players will forever cling to the nostalgic moments those experiences have to offer. Retro games may not have the attractive graphics modern successors do, but I’ve always said there is brilliance in simplicity. Not everything in gaming is about visual realism. That’s why MMO Attack hunted down some of the better online options that bring players back to the time of 8-bit and 16-bit consoles. If you are looking for an online experience that emulates classic systems like the NES, SNES, and Gameboy, this Top 10 list is certainly for you.

The Most Depressing Video Game Settings Ever Devised

The setting of a game – or really, of any story – is perhaps one it’s most important aspects. Characters aside, this is what gives the tale its unique flair, this is how the writer puts a new spin on old ideas; a game’s setting defines virtually everything else about it. Consequently, you can tell a lot about what sort of story you’re going to be playing with only a cursory glance at the setting.
