MMO Reporter Episode 114 – Chris isn’t the sick one?
This week Chris and Layanor discover they can do a show without Harry’s leadership! We cover a new Destiny trailer, free to play Vendetta, and a new free to play Dragon combat MMO called Dragon Prophet!
Played LOTRO this week. Did some more Ettenmoors and trying to hit my rank 11.
Played some more Minecraft and I am starting to get tired of playing alone on my own server. So I think I will start to look for a fun server to join.
Played lots more Wizardry for the last time. I think the game is great and should be tried by anyone that loves old school role playing games.
Started work on my old MUGEN game. MUGEN is a engine that lets you create your own fighting game. I have been trying to make a decent King of the Fighters game for years and if anyone is interested in helping me fix lots of bugs with characters, let me know.
Guild Software has added a possible free-to-play tier which will be available to players if the kickstarter is successful.
They are $38,988 out of $100,000 with 4 days left.
Subscribers will still exist, entitled to the best game experience without limitations, including unfettered access to all current and future “endgame” constructs
“Free To Play” characters will have a relatively low/mid level cap, and will be prevented from creating guilds or any of the other endgame content mentioned above.
Microtransactions, should they be added, would only be offered to F2P users. They would simply allow the F2P user to purchase access to equipment or features that would otherwise be available at their character level. Subscribers would have no such need, without any limitations on availability or level caps.
Even with maximum use of purchasing power, F2P users would ultimately be capped well below that of subscribers, and would have no faster access to level or equipment, as their character level progress would not be impacted by purchasing power. Thus, subscribers will always have the best experience, as well as the entirely “level” playing field.
An entirely new category of content. Team up guild missions! These missions, designed for coordinated group play, include everything from bounties to group puzzles to cross-country challenges. You’ll need to work together to complete the missions and earn new Guild Merits, which can unlock cool upgrades and rewards.
Two team PVP rated play. A new type of competitive PvP, two teams of equal average rating are pitted against each other in a quick, intense match.
With our new selectable achievement system, you’ll have a chance to set new daily challenges for yourself and to choose what kind of content you want to be rewarded for playing.
You’ll have the ability to preview items in the Trading Post before you buy them.
Runescape did a poll to see if anyone was interested in playing the original Runescape.
Since last Friday, they received over 160,000 votes and growing in support of bringing back Old School RuneScape servers.
The Runescape have said “Congratulations! The team is already hard at work restoring this service for you and we hope to be able to let you know when they will be up and running ASAP.”
