Hardcore Casual: MMOs go through an awkward teenager phase too.
All of this random rambling because of Warhammer Online, and it’s current state. I think Warhammer is going through the now traditional MMO cycle of trying to find itself, focusing on its strengths, and learning who the player base for it is. Like LoTRO, it had a solid launch, has its unique f...

Hardcore Casual: Warhammer’s major problem, the players.
Warhammer is plagued by some rather terrible flaws, flaws that should have been tested in beta. The flaws have nothing to do with coding errors or graphical problems, but rather center around player actions and motivation. Warhammer Online’s biggest problem is the players are simply not...

The Greenskin: Some of the cooler RvR ideas I’ve read lately…
Warhammer Online, back in November 2007, was delayed in order to transform the game to align closer with DAOC’s RvR but it forgot that one crucial element… the PURPOSE. Sure, city sieges are a purpose but let’s be realistic - a keep is under attack in Praag… why would I go defend if it poses no...

Tobold's MMORPG Blog: My WoW today and tomorrow
I don't know how long all this is going to entertain me. Probably several months. Which, one the one side, is great news, I'm having something to look forward for months. On the other side I'm pretty certain that Blizzard will not bring out a third expansion in 2009, and that I will get bored with...

MMOdus Operandi MMORPG Blog: Is there are place for hardcore MMOs any more? (long post)
Right now, I'm thinking about renewing my EQ2 subscription in the near future - checking out Kunark, which I've yet to see in all of its glory. I'm also currently on mobile broadband rather than a landline, so this'll allow me to see how viable it is to play MMOs over the connection I currently...

MMORPG - MMOCrunch - World of Warcraft: Rant: RvR - Not One Step Back!
I have been recently playing Warhammer Online and have been spending a fair amount of my time doing overworld RvR now that I am 40. The game is built around massive combat between the realms, so it has become more common to see giant bloodbaths in places like Praag. I have seen a behavior patter...
Hardcore Casual: One month of WAR, some thoughts.
With my free month up in Warhammer Online, it was time to make the decision to pay up or move on. Given how WAR sucks, and all the new awesome in WoW, that decision was easy. On to grind those daily quests, repeat the same raid ...

Hardcore Casual: Mythic and Blizzard go at it. Round one review!
“I tried to get into the ‘Warhammer’ beta, but I didn’t try to sneak in!” Kaplan said with a laugh. (A laugh because he is not part of Blizzards biggest department, the Center for Game Design Borrowing) “I became friends with [Mythic creative director] Paul Barnett at Leipzig two years ago. P...

Tobold's MMORPG Blog: Silence isn't disapproval
But my silence about World of Warcraft and extensive discussion of Warhammer Online should in no way be interpreted as me liking WAR more than WoW. Both games have their good and their bad sides. I am having great fun in WAR when I'm in a large group doing public quests or RvR. But when I'm soloing...

MMOdus Operandi: RPGs just aren't Role-Playing Games any more...
And another part of the reason WoW has been so successful is the sheer novelty of it, as it's the first MMO many people have played. But in many ways WoW was the pinnacle of what an MMORPG can do, aside from the obvious (prettier graphics, bigger world, more classes etc), and you have to questio...
