January 27th, 2011

RuneScape just celebrated its 10-year anniversary and is bringing back the Wilderness and Free Trade due to an overwhelming response from players. We talked with Mark Ogilvie about these topics and more!

Ten years. Many MMOs are lucky to last half that, but RuneScape has been chugging along since 2001. In addition to reaching this impressive anniversary milestone, Jagex recently held a referendum asking players if they want to see the Wilderness and Free Trade return to the free-to-play game. More than 1.2 million votes were cast in just under three weeks, and an overwhelming 91% of players said they wanted these features back in RuneScape. Jagex listened, and they’ll be implemented on Feb. 1. Read more…

Cataclysm – Guild Advancement and You

January 24th, 2011


By Blizzard>
Playing with others is at the core of the World of Warcraft experience. Whether it’s simply coming across another player while questing and giving a /wave, joining a quick group to take down an elite, jumping into a dungeon, or running a raid, being in a world full of other players is what the game is all about. And there’s no bigger or more coordinated player congregation than a guild.

Guilds have existed in World of Warcraft from day one, but we’ve always wanted players who were in guilds to have some progression to work toward with their friends and guildmates beyond simply downing bosses, as well as a way to better recognize their accomplishments and show them off. In Cataclysm we’ve added some features to support that goal in the form of a new guild UI, levels, perks, achievements, reputation, and rewards.

While playing the game with your guild you’ll earn guild experience, level the guild up, earn perks, chase guild achievements, earn personal reputation with your guild, and unlock purchasable rewards, These are all part of the larger whole we call Guild Advancement. Read more…

Masqueraiders available in-game of Dofus, April 2011

January 22nd, 2011


Hunted for their masks that give them their powers, the Masqueraiders are suspicious of everything. Their real faces are very rarely seen and no-one truly understands their motives: they can appear to be solitary valiant knights or rebels with their own agenda, they can be guided by their faith, by the values or by their feelings (like vengeance, for example).

Masqueraiders have three basic masks: the Classic mask, the Cowardly mask and the Psychopath mask. Each mask gives them a bonus and a different style of combat: the spells vary according to the mask. As a result, the Masqueraiders can sometimes be good at long-distance, sometimes close combat, sometimes defensive and sometimes very in your face! In other words, they’re quite unpredictable characters… Read more…
