MMORPG community, news, articles, & games
“Free To Play” is the phrase that’s been on everyone’s lips lately, particularly in the world of MMOs. It’s the new business model that every production executive is cooing over; the model that many have come to hate with a burning, fiery passion. But is it really so bad?
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.
There are many possible reasons behind Riot’s success with League of Legends, but that’s not what we’re here to discuss. Instead, we’re here to talk about something else. We’re here to talk about the fact that, outside of the upper tiers, the vast majority of players simply don’t get it. We’re here to lay a few ground-rules for those people, ladies and gents.
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.
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.
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.
Half a year ago, MMO Attack rung in the new year by discussing the top MMORPGs to keep an eye on in 2013. Some of the games have released successfully as planned, while others have fallen flat or pushed to a later date. A lot can change in six months. That?s why I felt the need to hunt down the remaining MMORPGs that are due to still (possibly) release by the time 2013 is over.
Custom DescriptionMMO Attack has covered some great strategy games in the past. Early this month we tackled the Top 10 Best Tactics MMOs, and before that we handled the Top 10 Best MOBAs. Sadly, those two lists were fit to a specific genre. Many of the games you will see making another appearance on this list, but there are also a few new additions that couldn’t be ignored when discussing online strategy games.
Where modern gaming is concerned, it’s starting to become less a question of if there’s going to be bugs, and more where said bugs will be found. These bugs are a mixed bag: they can be irritating, aggravating, and inconvenient. In rare cases, they can completely ruin a play experience, leading to a no-win scenario. Sometimes, however; a title will wig out in such a way that one can’t help but laugh.
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.
With everyone expecting massive announcements from Sony and Microsoft at E3, MMOAttack takes a look at some of the biggest MMO games that we want to see available on next-generation consoles
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.
Open betas are for everyone, and tend to be free of charge regardless of future subscription or cost. Players not only get a chance to give feedback for future game developments, but they also get to play a game that they may later miss out on due to cost or review. MMO Attack went ahead and found ten of the best free open betas available right now.
