DayZ

The Five Best Survival-Oriented MMOs You’ll Find

by

There’s been a sort of wide-spread obsession with survival games of late – I’m certain you’ve all noticed it. Enter the survival MMORPG – a game which hurls its players into an open world where they can either compete (or co-operate) in order to survive. Today, we’re going to look at a few of the best games from this genre.

Now, Harry Potter is widely considered to be one of the
greatest fantasy works of our generation, but up until now, the potential for
an MMO was a little more than a dream shared by millions.  In a surprise announcement though, a new
development studio, Bio-Hazard Entertainment, has reached an agreement with
Warner Bros. Entertainment, giving them the opportunity to showcase Harry
Potter as a MMO.  So what does all that
mean?  Well Bio-Hazard will get to
deliver their idea of the game to Warner Bros, who can then give the project a
yay or nay vote.  The developer has put
together an FAQ / interview video, so check it out for more.

Reto-Moto is proud to announce the immediate release of the
free to play MMOFPS Heroes and Generals into its open beta.  Heroes and Generals combines a unique element
to the game, which is the combination of FPS combat, and an RTS mode, which
gives you the opportunity to be a general on the battlefield.  The open development model for the game,
which gives complete transparency when it comes to future updates and content
add-ons is another intriguing feature, as players can have a direct feedback
loop to get new ideas into the game. 
Check out heroes and generals.com for more.

Lastly, the game we’ve been covering like hell lately, DayZ
has another new announcement, this time, adding to the team.  Last week we brought you news that said the
main man himself, Dean Hall, would be leaving at the end of the year.  Well over the weekend their developer blog used
a whole sentence to announce that the development team has doubled in
size.  It said, and I quote, “We are
inducting a large number of people to the team, effectively doubling the whole
project.  End quote.  So yeah, a huge welcome to you new people,
you guys got a whole 17 words dedicated amongst yourselves.  I’m spending more time welcoming you than
they did!

The future of Asheron’s call is in the hands of you, the
players as Turbine has announced that the game will be entering a ‘maintenance
mode’ that will see the last remaining members of the team working solely on
bug fixed, balance problems and technical support.  Oh, well that sounds great, Kirk, why are you
saying the future is in our hands.  Yes,
it’s great that they are still offering a little support on the game, but they
will be no longer offering any content updates. 
And that my friends, is where you can come in.  Turbine is exploring the idea of player owned
servers, with the abilities for the players to add their own new features, and
to expand on current content.  I’m
thinking this is something along the lines of Project 1999 with EverQuest,
where a group of fans can continue the legacy of the game.  Will it happen?  The choice is yours!

The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot finally enters its open beta
phase.  Closed beta events have been
going on for months now, with open houses and the likes, so I’m assuming anyone
who has wanted to play the game, has had at least some time to do that.  But nevertheless, today marks the first
opportunity for unlimited access, without level and time restrictions that were
in place in previous events.  The Mighty
Quest for Epic Loot is an interested game where players design their own castle
that others will try to complete for mighty loot, no, epic quest, no .. oh
whatever.  You try to conquer your
buddies castle, enough said.

We told you yesterday that Dean Rocket Hall, the creator of
the DayZ mod, would be leaving Bohemia Interactive and the DayZ Standalone
later this year.  Well, that still means
he’s got a few months on the job to make the standalone awesome as fuck.  The latest Devblog shows a ton of new
features, and points out what the team is working on.  The coolest thing that I recall from the 17
minute long video is the hunting and bow and arrow features.  They are aiming to make hunting more viable,
with being able to collect meat and actually survive while in the forrests, and
also make the use of bows more realistic, with flight graphics, arrows sticking
out of your enemies once hit and more. 
The video is long, yes, but worth it for any DayZ fans like myself.

In a fairly
surprising announcement, Dean Hall of Bohemia Interactive, the man behind DayZ,
announced that he will leave the studio by year’s end to pursue other projects.
He went into length comparing himself to a grenade and talking about how he’s a
bad person to have in a leadership role. Flimsy excuse if you ask me mostly for
someone looking to move on to another leadership role. No one knows what state
DayZ will be in by the time he departs, but given the company’s development
history, I’m sure it’ll be far from done. No doubt the game will be left in
capable hands, but considering now that people have money invested in the
Alpha, it seems like a very strange time to up and abandon what he created.
Personally I think it reflects poorly on him and he should stick around to
deliver on the original promise that he made. But hey, that’s just me. Let me
know your thoughts in the comments down below.

One feature most frequently requested for Forge of Empires,
Guild Vs Guild, has been released to the public today. Guilds can now
participate in large scale PvP as they battle for control over various
objectives to theoretically claim the entire continent. Any rewards obtained
through PvP will be awarded to all members of that particular guild on a daily
basis.

Nosgoth has gotten an official closed beta date, set for this
Thursday, February 27th. The free to play, team based, third person
online multiplayer game features some gorgeous visuals, deep class
customization, a wide variety of game modes and a skill based combat system.
Along with the closed beta, Square Enix has revealed a brand new game mode,
Siege, in which humans will be tasked with capturing specific locations while
vampires naturally hunt for blood. Anyone interested, make sure to register at
their main website.

EverQuest Next Landmark’s Alpha, DayZ, State of Decay and more! | The Daily XP January 31st

by

Hey guys, I’m Mark
McDonald and you’re watching the Daily XP for today, Friday January 31st, exclusively from mmoatk.com. We’ve
got some good stuff for you today as we’ll talk about some fixes coming to
DayZ, another nod towards a State of Decay MMO annnnd… EverQuest Next Landmark
Alpha lands today and we’ve got some hands on experience to tell you all about.
Let’s get this started.

The Daily XP is MMO ATK’s Daily MMO and MMORPG News Show.  Come back each and every day for highlights of the days most current stories, brought to you by the number one MMO news source on the web!

Transcript:
First up, it’s not
huge news, but a new update has been released to DayZ’s experimental servers,
introducing a few technical changes and some changes to popular weapons and
common animations. More specifically, a number of building mechanics have been
addressed, new spawns have been placed and slight tweaks to loot regularities
have been made. For those unfamiliar with the process, Bohemia Interactive
implements new patches on select experimental servers before giving it a wider
release, so standard players can expect to see the changes soon.

At this point a State
of Decay MMO is one of those things where the only thing not confirming its
existence is an actual announcement from Microsoft. The rumor mill’s been a
buzz today after Patrick Wyatt, co-founder of ArenaNet and En Masse
Entertainment joined the staff of Undead Labs and released a statement saying,
“I can’t talk anything about what I’m working
on here at Undead Labs … yet. … But … I specialize in developing really big
multiplayer games. So I guess maybe I’ll be working on something like that, at
least as soon as I get one of the cool lab coats everyone around here has.” So there you go, cryptic and yet not really
so. Make sure to keep an eye out for any announcements. We’ll let you guys know
as soon as we hear more.

And finally, the big
news of the day comes courtesy of SOE with the announcement that EverQuest Next
Landmark’s Alpha is finally and officially live! Purchasers of either of the
top two tiers of the EQNL founder’s packs can get their start in the sandbox
world and begin giving feedback that is crucial to the future of the game. We
had a chance to try out the game yesterday and I wont go into it in-depth here, but I’m cautiously
optimistic for everything that the game has to offer. We were told that the
game is currently about 60% complete, the tools for creation need some refining
and there is a steep learning curve attached to it, but the potential for what
can be created is absolutely off the charts. Those who have come to love Minecraft
and are looking for sort of the next step in terms of creation and complexity
should definitely look into this. Kirk and I each tell about our experiences
with the alpha which you can find in a separate video, linked over my face and
below, so be sure to check that out if you want to know more!

And that’s everything
for today guys, thank you so much for watching. If you liked what you saw, make

MMORPG news, coming at you daily. If you’d like to read more about Everquest
Next Landmark or anything that I covered here make sure to stop by our website,

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.
