Your daily XP starts now!

Transcript:
The Blizzard empire has announced that Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is now officially live in the NA region. If you are a WoW player like myself, we have the opportunity to receive the Hearthsteed mount if we have our Battle.net account and play three matches of Hearthstone. This official release also brings with it many features and balance changes requested by the community. The most important of these changes are the adjustments that have been made to ranked play. There are also opportunities to unlock new designs for the back of your deck, as well as snatching up those brand new golden heroes. If we know Blizzard, we know that they like to unnecessarily change things as much as facebook does, but they promise to only make large-scale changes to cards if it is deemed as “absolutely necessary.” We’ll see about that.

Gankers, listen up for the sake of your dignity. Sandbox Interactive has unveiled the latest alpha teaser video for the upcoming Sandbox MMORPG, Albion Online. Those PVP players who attack based on the visual appearance of the character’s outfit may be instantly obliterated by someone who they thought was a mere noob. This is because Albion Online is creating a massively customizable approach to character development, with this latest trailer showcasing the different elements that come into play when changing a characters outfit. The video shows that targeting a player wearing simple, meager farming gear could be a costly mistake. Alpha testing begins March 24th for PC’s, with the other platforms soon to come. Check it out.

It appears that the information leak about the WildStar launch we covered yesterday is in fact valid. Carbine studios has announced today that players will be able to explore the highly anticipated MMO on June 3rd. There will be two versions of WildStar released, a standard edition and a digital deluxe version. The standard edition will get you 30 days of subscription time, 3 7-day friend passes, and a themed decoration item for the player housing feature. The digital deluxe, available for an extra $15, will give those perks along with an Eldan Hoverbord, a unique costume, a title, and a limited-edition set of dyes. Pre-orders will begin March 19th, but if you want details ahead of time you can visit the pre-order page listed in our MMOATTACK article online.

That’s it for today! Thanks for watching out daily XP. Be sure to like this video and subscribe to MMOATTACK for the latest and greatest news in the MMO gaming world. Send us any stories you think we may have missed and stay tuned tomorrow for another round of daily information. And to defend myself, pabst did win a blue ribbon 650 years ago. Bye!

The last large-scale Elder Scrolls Online beta event for the
PC and Mac will take place this weekend, from March 14th through the
16th. The news was partially
leaked via Twitter and confirmed via several sites who are giving away beta
keys starting this morning, like .. MMOAttack.com! That’s right kids, we were given a thousand
keys for the final beta weekend, you can find the link to those keys below, or
via the home-page on our website. I know
many of you have already partaken in a beta weekend event, in which case you
will not need a key, but if you’ve missed out on any of the previous
opportunities, we have you covered!

Eager WildStar fans spotted a potential release date leak
today after gamerzines.com published an article containing a video that
apparently labeled June 3rd as the official release date. The article was removed within minutes, but
of course, the Google Spiders managed to find the cached content. The video in question has been removed, so
there’s no way to check the validity of the claim, but we can probably expect
to hear something from NCSoft regarding the rumors soon. At least we hope!

Exciting news was announced today from a brand new team of
developers who are creating a “badass new sandbox RPG”. This new studio called Citadel Games, which
includes developers who worked on games like Ultima Online, Dark Age of Camelot
and Warhammer, will be creating their sandbox RPG with the name Shards. There is very little information about
Shards, other than that they plan on delivering a better playing experience
with an ever-expanding universe, deep lore and dynamic environments. A teaser trailer was released that shows next
to nothing, no seriously go watch it, it’s about as pointless as the Polar
Bears in LOST.

Transcript:
Over the weekend, Blizzard released some teaser images for
the upcoming debut of Golden Heroes in HearthStone, Heroes of Warcraft. Golden skins is not a new idea, but one that
players seem to love, as you’ll find them in plenty of games these days. In HearthStone players will need to
accumulate 500 wins in Ranked Play if they hope to unlock these permanent gold
skins, which is no easy feat. The golden
heroes will gain unique animations to their portrait and Hero Power, but also
have the ability to scare the bejesus out of a lesser experienced
opponent. It’s like the Knicks showing
up to gameday with LeBron James wearing his black mask, sure scared them
shitless.

We mentioned a Harry Potter Online type MMO game last week
and now we can retract any statements we made.
Well, mostly. Things have changed
pretty quickly, as Bio Hazard Entertainment and Warner Bros. Entertainment have
seemingly nixed the Harry Potter project.
The video with developers has been deleted from YouTube and the website
has disappeared. But, Bio Hazard does
still plan on making a game, it just won’t be Harry Potter related, no, it will
just be wizard related and has taken the name, World of Magic. So take that Warner Bros. You don’t have
control over wizards, if anything, wizards have control over you!

Reality Squared Games today announced the beginning of the
closed beta testing event for the upcoming action shooter browser MMO Zombies
Ate My Pizza. Imagine for a moment, that
the world is overrun by a race of extraterrestrial bugs that have infected the
population with a deadly virus that turns them into, yeah you guessed it,
zombies. The zombies of course, are obsessed
with Pizza, as is accurate with Zombie lore, and your job is to drive back the
onslaught, and save your local pizza joint.
Well, that’s not totally accurate, but come on, it’s a humorous take on
zombies and pizza, so we take what we can get.

A new
developer blog post for Snail Games Black Gold Online has revealed new
information about the game dungeons and instances. Instances are one of the main gameplay
features in Black Gold Online, and one of the most important forms of PVE and
group play. Players will form small
bands of heroes to explore hidden passages and while taking on enemies, dodging
traps and defeating bosses. Completing
these instances will provide players with exp and loot. You will be able to party up with your
friends and allies, or with random players in the world using the tab on your
UI, that will also bring up a list of available instances and
descriptions. Remember, the Black Gold
Alpha test is set to begin on March 20th!

The latest god
reveal in SMITE brings us the horror of the deep, or more affectionately known
as, a creepy ass kid who’s legs turn into snakes with the heads of warewolves. Well, that’s not a technical name but ..
seriously, this girl is creepy! Scylla
is a magical damage dealer with an impressive selection of CC and movement
speed abilities. Her skills include slowing,
rooting, damaging and granting vision to her teammates. Her ultimate sees her revealing her true
self, while becoming CC immune, gaining speed and gaining one very strong
attack. Our Facebook page has a giveaway
going on for Scylla and her alternate skin, check it out via the link below!

PlanetSide 2
released an awesome new video showcasing what it’s like to be on the front
lines of the war between the three factions on Auraxis. Typically the team at SOE take a comedic
approach in their coverage of the game, but this new video is pretty freakin’
cool! Taking the perspective of the
soldiers, the video reveals some interesting statistics about the game, while
showing footage taken by some of their players.
If you’re not a PlanetSide 2 player, maybe this will be enough to get
your blood pumping and have you downloading the free to play first person
shooter from Sony Online Entertainment.

Albion Online Alpha Testing, World of Warplanes, World of Tanks and more! | The Daily XP March 5th

21 October 201405 March 2014 by MMO ATK

Hey Attackers.
It’s Bethany here on Wednesday March 5th with your daily MMO news from the one
and only MMO ATK. Wargaming.net is eating up all of the news like a
gluttonous beast, but they are working hard and we like that. There is breaking
news for both World of warplanes and World of Tanks. If you don’t care about
that Albion Online has released their alpha testing date, and the game has the
possibility of changing the way we use our phones forever. Kind of heavy. Your
daily XP starts now!

Transcript:
World of
Warplanes players are stoked this week because Wargaming has finally taken to their numerous
requests to better enhance the game. Update 1.2 marks the first addition of
serious content since the game’s official launch a few months ago. There will
be new missions, way more in-depth post battle stats, recording and playback of
matches, changes to the game’s economy, and even cosmetic changes having to do with
the accuracy of the aircrafts. Pretty cool. If they are not lying to us update
1.2 for World of Warplanes should be dropping tomorrow the 6th.

Another group
of players are stoked as well today because Sandbox interactive has announced
the start date for the initial alpha testing phase of Albion online. People are
really excited about this game because it promises to bring large-scale PVP
battles into the mobile scene, which has never really been done before. I mean,
we don’t really need to more of a reason to look at our phones but at least
this is more badass then checking your Instagram. The start date of the alpha
testing phase is March 24th, and players are being warned to act
fast because there will be a very limited number of keys. Get on it!

Wargaming.net
is back in our news today, stealing all of the attention, but this time it’s
for World of Tanks. These dudes are working hard over there and are keeping
their promise of delivering regular updates for their plans for the game in
2014. They’ve released their second Developer Dairy which focuses around a new
approach to the in-game physics. Expect changes to literally every aspect of
physics including movable objects, detachable tank turrets, individually mapped
tank treads, and yes, the way things explode. The video shows the way that
different building models change in behavior depending on the ammo used to
destroy them, as well as the different outcomes of destruction when using an
armor piercing round or explosive shell. Check the video out, it’s worth
watching.

here with your daily MMO news for Tuesday March 4th, exclusively from MMO

NCSoft and ArenaNet today released the finale to the world
story, Battle for Lion’s Arch. In what
promises to be an epic moment in Guild Wars 2 history, the community will need
to band together to engage in an epic struggle to take back control of one of
the most famous cities in the land. In
my best movie trailer voice, “The city of Lion’s Arch has fallen victim to a
surprise attack from Scarlet Briar, and her devastating army of dark
forces. A deadly arsenal of war machiens
brought Lion’s Arch to its knees, and only the brave players of Guild Wars 2
can return control of the town to its rightful owners.” The battle marks the end of a storyline over
a year in the making, check it out today!

The Curse of Icewind Dale has been announced for Perfect
World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios Neverwinter. This is the third large-scale update to their
free to play MMO, bringing with it a ton of new content and PvP options. The Curse of Icewind Dale will introduce 5
new zones, 2 of which feature both PvP and PvE content. PvP matchmaking and leaderboards will also
debut, alongside a campaign that will see players completing a number of
objectives for exciting new rewards. A
giant list of other updates are accompanied in the article on MMO ATK.com.

MOBA fans from around the world are being treated today to
the second gameplay video for the Dragon Shire map in Blizzard’s Heroes of the
Storm. In the video, Dustin and Kevin
from Blizzard walk us through a variety of changes that were made to the map,
as well as debut a number of new champions and skins. So what’s up with this Dragon Shire map? It’s a 5v5 battle with a Dragon Knight lying
dormant in the middle. Teams much
capture two obelisks at the top and bottom of the map to receive his
power. Obviously the Dragon Knight’s
power gives you a massive power boost, and since you’ve already capture the two
obelisks, you’re probably already winning the battle, so I’m assuming it’s GG
by now. Take a look at the video though,
it’s pretty interesting.

Harry Potter MMO, Heroes and Generals, DayZ and more! | The Daily XP March 3rd

whoa, what the heck is going on here, this strange new background. Well, the crew here at MMO ATK moved into
a new office today, and this, what you see behind me, is it. Now you’re wondering, wait .. how does a
channel with only 16 thousand subscribers have their own office? Well, I’d answer your question with another
question, how doesn’t a channel with 16 thousand subscribers have their own
office? We will probably give you a
quick tour on a later video, but for now we have Harry Potter Online, Heroes
and Generals Open beta, and aren’t you tired of hearing about DayZ. Your daily

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!

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.

And that’s everything we’ve got for you guys! For more

So let’s say you’re playing your favorite MMO, you’ve
leveled up a few characters and you want to try out that new .. bard class ..
that everyone is talking about. You
re-roll, pick an awesome new name like, Grangafor and you set out on your
journey. But, oh god, now you’ve gotta
run through all the newbie quests again, learning the ‘story’ about your
character, killing ten rats, and collecting ten rat butts, like you have for
the past 5 re-rolls. Never fear though,
Zenimax Online Studios may have the answer to what ails you in The Elder
Scrolls Online. Now, it’s not confirmed
yet, but some information on a new update has surfaced with some changes on the
PTS server. The Reddit user found an NPC
that completes all quests, saving you from having to do them every-time you
start a new character. There are other
changes as well, there always are, you can find them at mmoatk.com.

Now we have a tale of two Kickstarter campaigns. One, a massive success with millions of
dollars raised, the other, well .. not so much of a success. OK, so we start with Star Citizen, who took
to Kickstarter back in September 2013 to ask for a measly 500,000 to start up
their space combat and exploration MMO.
As we sit, about 6 months later, the company has just surpassed 39
million dollars. And no that’s not a
typo. With the new stretch goal reached,
a brand new star system is being added to the game, which was voted on by you,
the users. The next stretch goal
however, is the one everyone is talking about, it will give the developers the
tools to utilize a new technology that will allow for entire planets to be
created dynamically, offering an infinite array of possibilities when players
explore the Star Citizen world. I think
they’ll hit that, don’t you?

Visionary Realms would love to be coming up with stretch
goals when they reach the 39 million dollar range. And who knows, maybe they will at some point,
but not now. Pantheon: Rise of the
Fallen, the MMORPG venture by Brad McQuaid, of EverQuest glory, failed to reach
its Kickstarter goal of $800,000. The
developers removed some restrictions on the campaign to try to reach the goal
on the final day, but alas, came up short.
So what do they do now? Well, the
team is not giving up on the game, hardly, they will probably try to work
harder now to get the game finished.
They have started up a funding page on their own website, that has the
same tiers and goals as their Kickstarter page.
It’s important to note, if you were one of the original pledges on
Kickstarter, to go pledge again, as your support was not charged.

Legends of Silkroad, Eclipse War Online and more! | The Daily XP February 21st

Today is Friday February 21st and welcome to your Daily MMO News, exclusively
from MMO ATK.com. My name is Katie, and this is my first time here on

the sort of problem we can run in to when we do a show every single day!
Today we have the Legend of Silkroad and Eclipse War Online closed beta
announcements. Your daily XP starts now!

Today, JC Planet
revealed the start date for the closed beta event of Legends of Silkroad.
As the name implies, the game is based during the time of the Silk Road in
ancient Asia. The closed beta event is scheduled to on February 28th.
The developer listed several key features to the game, most notably, a caravan
battle and escort system, trade war features, large scale guild combat and
more! If you’re interested in playing the beta, head over to their
official website, JC Planet.com.

In OTHER, closed beta
announcement news today, Playwith Interactive announced their closed beta
event for the western version of the controversial Korean MMO, Eclipse War
Online. A teaser site for the game has been released along with a list of
features trying to entice us finicky Westerners with fancy phrases like
‘Exciting new PvP’, ‘An Ever-Changing War of Two races’ and ‘A Living
World’. The closed beta begins on February 25th and runs through March 11th.
To join the beta all you need is a free account, other than that, there are no
restrictions. So wait, that sounds more like an open beta right?

I know we usually do
three stories, but like I said, today’s news is dreadfully slow, so let me take
a moment to introduce myself. My name is Katie, my favorite game is, and
yeah, it’s going to sound cliché, but it’s World of Warcraft, I’ve been
playing for about 6 years, Elvin Ranger baby! I’ve also been big into
Minecraft for the last couple of years, I’ve been known to dabble in some
League of Legends, and of course! Long walks on the beach. So
that’s me!

Portalarium today released details
for the Release 3 build of Lord British a.k.a Richard Garriot, a.k.a. the
inventor of the MMORPG as we know it’s upcoming game, Shroud of the Avatar:
Forsaken Virtues. It was a little over
10 months ago that the game appeared on Kickstarter, and the response thus far
has been overwhelming. Release 3 brings
a slew of new features including Open Multiplayer, which is HUGE, people have
been waiting on this forever. Also
you’ll find a skeleton of the crafting features, not really a skeleton mind
you, a third municipality and the ability to sell and purchase items from
in-game stores. There’s much more, but I
don’t have the time!

Hot on the heels of the biggest Elder
Scrolls Online beta event so far is another video release, this time showcasing
crafting, and more specifically, the journey of a Blacksmith. The video goes into the great depths of
crafting in TESO, answering questions about gathering mechanics, crafting
tables, and creating set pieces. Of
note, the world is littered with hidden crafting tables that offer potential
set bonuses and perks. So there’s yet
another reason to climb to the top of every mountain, and peak inside every
cave that’s off the beaten path, much like you already do in Skyrim.

And lastly a new server has been
launched for Dragon’s Call II. The
end. OK so, outro now right? No, you need to say at least another few
sentences. UGGHHH. OK umm .. The fifth server, called Bleeding
Dragon launches later today, it will be accompanied by several events in game,
so go check it out! better?

and PS4 beta testing for Fanal Fantasy 14: A realm reborn is about to be

SMITE
players! Our favorite two-faced arsonist has gotten a complete makeover this
week. That’s right, he’s is our guy Agni, the god of fire, and his
changes include brand
new models, animations, 2D Art and FX for a selection of his more popular
skins. There
have also been some changes made to the recovery time of his more powerful
abilities to allow players with higher ping to still execute his more difficult
combos. Along with this current tradition of weeklyWednesday updates
for SMITE, an experimental kind of item tree has been added. A new selection of
items will allow players to take multiple items from the same tree but not the
same tier. This means huge changes for the likes of Qin’s Blades and the
Executioner, in essence giving players stats from multiple items but in a
single slot. There is a link to the rest of the patch notes in our mmoatk.com article.

Alright, so
for this next story I’ll try to set my undying cynicism to the side because
it’s actually some pretty awesome stuff. The developers at Runescape today
announced yet another charity event that will see the Runescape community
coming together for their inaugural GameBlast. This news follows recent charity
events that have seen the Runescape community taking advantage of the recently
released Runescape Bonds system, allowing
players to trade real cash for in-game currency without the risk of third-party
vendors. This latest charity event will once again allow players to donate
their in-game earnings with Jagex, promising to convert these donations into
real-world cash to do some real-life nice stuff. There
will be a double experience points weekend, exciting events, and dozens of
livestreams, all in the aid for charity. High five.

Square Enix
announced today that current players of Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn are
now able to download the free PS4 open beta client ahead of this week’s test.
The beta testing event goes underway this Saturday, February 22nd, and
is expected to run for the entire week. Characters created during the beta
event cannot level past 20, and character information will be wiped when it’s
all done and through. It’s currently unclear whether or not PlayStation 3
players will be able to transfer their characters over to the PlayStation 4
version prior to official release, but don’t get your hopes up. PS3 fans are
stoked of the additional power available to the PS4, making the experience of
sometimes fighting invisible foes and ducking invisible blows to your
vulnerable character’s sweet face hopefully go away. PS3 players, upgrade to
the PS4 version free of charge.
