The industry seems to be peeling back a bit from live services...does that mean they're on their way out, though?
Two bodies, one brain...but does it hold up?
Some games, books, and movies just lend themselves to being MMORPGs...but which ones should have been made already?
The online component is actually kind of puzzling in its own right...
I was hoping for better F2P model :D
A Bomb to Brickforce for making it kinda P2W, since you can buy high tier weapons (5 stars out of 5) ONLY with Tokens (real money currency), which means that all the starting kids, who want to spend some money on their mommys credit card, then they can own buts of non-paying players, even when they aren't good in FPS games.
It is with a bittersweet sadness that we announce that Zentia will be closing its doors August 13th, 2012 at 11:59PM PDT. Unfortunately, we are unable to continue to keep the Zentia servers available for play after August 13th.
I myself did spend some time on this a year ago,But the world really was dead even back than,Game ran fine.
Inflictious
I was so happy when it came out. Played it for like 2 weeks in a row non stop. Liked the hole concept of the game, liked instances , liked community. But when it came to restrictions it was so bad. Once you've reached LVL 20, you were forced to buy quest packs and content in order to continue with you typical gameplay. You could level further but without questing..but LOTRO is all about the story.....right? You could buy a horse but you couldn't ride it without a trait which you supposedly needed to buy in a cash shop. Restrictions were just awful. But after some time they took off some of the things and made original content available for people who didn't pay :) It took some time for them to adjust the F2P model, but they made it playable. Still biggest disappointment at the start, ever!
Also, to answer Inflictious' first question about Firefall: The devs of Firefall announce a wipe at least a week before they'll do it. They try to keep the amount of wipes as low as possible, and only do it when it's really necessary because of big changes (for example now they've removed the leveling in the patch that'll release this week). In the wipes that happened before, only the levels and the inventory and such were reset, you still had your character (you didn't have to create your character again).
da bomb for this week has got to be a split for me ^^; bounty hounds and maestia
bounty hounds got it because it's just a fresh form of mmo i haven't seen that many mmos do, mech games aside from hawken and mechwarrior online (got me excited) for maestia it has to be the freebies and the play as npcs or use npcs to solo which is cool.
the question from this week worst game i played was last chaos didnt even last one day the graphics were bad which could have been forgiven if the game machanics didn't also fail to be fresh or even appealling. a close second though is runescape but when i played years ago so my oppinion might change.
and finally my question to you guys/girls
have you recently heard of sword art online an anime based on a light novel in the same vein as .//hack virtual reality mmo however with a twist the players that are logged in as a feature not only can they not log out but if they die in game they also die in real life and also if people outside try to remove the head gear they'll also die and the only way to escape is to complete the 100 floors of the game world and beat the last boss. My question is do you think you'd play it if you knew before hand that you could die or would you have to be like the people in the anime and be blind to it till its too late to do anything about it.
Waren Story,... You know... Yea...
Just joking :-D!!!!!!!!
The worst still existing MMO that me, myself and i have ever played is MU Online by Webzen. Haven't played it for 7 or 8 years now (i'm 20-y-o) and i know it can't change much but it hasn't changed at all :-/. To think that i spent countless hours and days into that thing to get to level 250 just to find that i can reset and start all over and do that until December 21st, 2012 comes, just pissed me off. It wasn't even worth the time my PC was on with a blocked right key so my Dark Magician could spam its' "Evil Spirits" spell at the mobs spawn point. The thing that drove me away from this game after realizing the reset thing was the PvP or accually the no-pvp-content except the PK which gets you red-named and you can't do s*** after killing 3 people without dying.
P.S. WEEKLY BOMB - *D* bomb for Path of Exile for the progretion they have made and the fact that we will all be enjoying the game soon (if i am not mistaken it goes into Open Beta in August). Although i find it difficult to die if i don't do it on purpose. Yes mobs really punch hard, but once i picked up a magic damage build for my Templar i just one shot everything except bosses and "elite" monsters (Bosses in my deffinition are big scary, ugly that are at the end of Acts or big places like the prison :-?).
*A* Bomb to Brickforce for not letting me update the client so i can accually see if i can play that damn thing :-D!!!
step 1 : invite you friend (person you want to get revenge on) to dinner
step 2: tell him there is gonna be a lot of food so come with a empty stomach
step 3: only cook fish. and those kind of fish with a lot of bone (you see where am getting at right)
step 4: when he comes give him the fish and enjoy the revenge.
Guys, when you are gonna play slender. Please, please record you with a webcam and record the game and upload it. It would be awesome to see you guys play it. Haha.
DC Freaking Universe of P2W Online

Da-Bomb
Aeria Game's
My GunZ Account's ( IjjI ) all 3 with my 100's of dollars of prems transfered with no problem.
I really want to thank these guy's for not being total A-Bomb's and making me rebuy everything.
Day 5 now ..Still No Hacker's ! (reminding me of the days of I-GunZ)
Question of the week.
lol, Really i gotta just thank you on this for bringing up the worst memory of my life !
Decide Online :
Reason,The Christmas song's looping in each zone,Higher your lvl the longer you had to listen to the same song over and over and over.
Would not have been to bad , But it was in the middle of summer !
Song: Jesus,Oh jesus, What a wonderful child. ( Starting zone and town )
Jesus, Jesus
Oh what a wonderful child
Jesus, Jesus
So lowly meek and mild
New life, new hope, new joy He brings
Won't you listen to the angels sing
Glory, glory, glory
To the new born King
I won't write the whole song , But thanks again for getting it stuck back in my head !
After all those years in therapy.
A-bomb to you sir. lmao just kidding ;)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question : RaiderZ
The combat style of the game is not really new as you mentioned Tera ( I think,Never played)
But is it one of the first Free to Play mmorpg's to have this Style?
Question i would have liked to know when talking to Mark, Since there really is no open beta.How will Character wipe's work if any?
And he said about beta testing the Item Mall, And said he got that idea from other game's, I personaly have never heard of any company testing thier Item mall besides,The item mall being totaly accessable during beta ( Spirit Tales )
Thank's again my friend and looking forward to next episode.
Peace
Inflictious
So again a "DA BOMB" to ALL, and I mean ALL, games that have and will come out that will require no charge at all, it makes me happy that I stuck it out with PC.
I give an "A BOMB" to paying DLC. PUT THAT SHIT IN THE GAME!!!!
Just wanted to let you know that Spunkify IS scheduled to appear on the F2P Cast that we record on August 12th! :)
