We begin with the Kickstarters.  Duel of Heroes is a trading card role playing
game hybrid that promises to deliver a new type of online card game experience
with a combination of depth and exploration. 
Typically, when we think of a trading card game, it’s just that, playing
different combinations of cards to take out your enemy.  Well in Duel of Heroes there is also a 2D open
world to explore that will help make the rich fantasy story behind the game,
all that much more real.  A few other
aspects to note: Unique Heroes that can evolve during battle, an MMO-like
interface, clan wars and more!  Check out
their Kickstarter campaign with the link below.

In other Kickstarter news Aeternia Online, a sandbox MMORPG
that has quietly been in development for 3 years, has just made its way to the
crowd-sourcing site.  Jim Veerkamp, after
being bored of easy, give-away games, decided to create his game that revolves
around the player, from modular housing, to crafting, adventure and more.  The game will feature player cities,
extensive crafting, open pvp, a skill-based system devoid of levels and I could
go on.  But you’d be better off checking them
out on Kickstarter.  You know where to
find the link.

Jagex has released the first two bots for their upcoming
MOTA, Transformers Universe.  One Autobot
and one Decepticon were made available on the games website.  Meltown is an autobot who hates war, but will
never leave a fellow warrior behind, and Duststorm is a ruthlessly corrupt
killer, who simmers with a quiet consuming rage.  The two bots come complete with introductory
videos as well as a full run-down of their weapons, equipment and skills.  No doubt we will be hearing more about new
bots as they are announced, and you can be sure that MMO ATK will keep you
updated!

Today, Black Gold Online unveiled a mage class that shows
off its Steampunk side.  The Conjurer,
who fuses steam technology with the power of dark magic, draws their power from
beyond the grave.  This new long to mid
range mage class uses their enigmatic sorcery to cast powerful spirit spells
and provides a class for those who like to sit back, cast and destroy.  The Conjurer is ideal for those who like to
support the team with CC and do their fair share of DPS, while sitting back and
taking in the view.  Just kidding, you
don’t have time to admire when your blasting the heck out of cheesy Avril
Lavigne trailers.  Remember, the alpha
test for Black Gold Online will begin on March 20th, so make sure to register
on their site to get your key.

The Infinite Crisis Open Beta date has been announced, and with
it comes a slew, if that’s the right word, a slew of new champions.  So, let’s get to the details.  Warner Bros, and Turbine’s MOBA will start
its open beta on Friday, March 14th.  On
that date the Green Arrow, Aquaman and Mecha Superman will be released into the
game.   Mecha Superman is a massive
enforcer, who will use his metal tonnage to fissure the ground, and create
earthquakes while stunning enemies. 
Green Arrow is a DPS marksman, armed with a bow and quiver of
specialized arrows, while Aquaman is a strong duelist who wields a mighty
trident in combat.  His only enemy?  A six packs plastic rings.  Along with the new heroes, the Open beta will
include the new tri-lane map, Gotham Divided. 
Go to infinitecrisis.com for more.

Lastly, World of Tanks is planning for a huge year in 2014,
and with the release of today’s trailer, they are planning on revealing their
major plans throughout the year with a new series of developer diaries.  The plans for the year include delivering a
completely new combat experience by overhauling the look and feel of the
game.  Technical enhancements like
dynamic suspension, damageable parts, a graphics render revamping and new meta
game functionality are all part of the new experience.  Each feature will be fully described through
a dev diary throughout the year and implemented shortly thereafter.

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.
