Star Trek Online players are in for a treat today as Cryptic’s next content patch hits the servers. Titled in such a way that we think they’re going to count to 10 eventually, Season One: Update Two (Mark Three, Variant Four, Version Five) comes bundled with a number of new features and quality of life improvements for all to enjoy.
The premiere features of this patch are the new Accolade and Squad Support systems. Accolades are your basic MMO achievements with a Star Trek veneer, although if you collect enough of them, you can earn real benefits for your character (such as passive resistances) in addition to titles. All we can say is that if there isn’t an accolade for the number of “Picard Maneuvers” you’ve done, then Cryptic needs to get on that and make it so.
If you’ve been following World of Warcraft’s published subscriber numbers for a while now, you know that we haven’t seen a rise in WoW subscribers since late 2008. Blizzard’s been holding steady on a figure of 11.5 million subscribers. But, according to Frank Pearce, Blizzard’s Executive Vice President of Product Development, that’s going to change.
Pearce told us that the launch of Cataclysm later this year, as well as the release of Wrath of the Lich King in China, will bring increased numbers to the MMO.
Today we’re going to talk … addons. Or rather, one specific addon, followed by a question. There’s this nifty little addon out there that I’ve used a little bit called Gryphonheart Items. GHI allows you to actually make items in game that you can then trade with other players that have the GHI addon, and by “item” I mean anything from a book to a ring or trinket to a statue or an engineering trinket. If you can loot it in game and carry it in your bags, you can make it in GHI. The exceptions of course are items of clothing — you can’t design a shirt to wear or something along those lines.
The best example I saw of GHI in use was a friend of mine who made a present for a roleplayer’s “baby shower” event. Instead of getting something tangible with gold or crafting something with their chosen profession, my friend decided to use GHI to make something completely unique. The item was labeled as a gnomish baby-rocker, with a description that indicated it was a self-rocking cradle that played a lullaby for the baby as it rocked. The best part was that when the player clicked the item, it would play the sound file for Lament of the Highborne, making it a fully interactive little trinket for the “pregnant” player.
As far as unique items go, the only thing in my regular bags that by all rights shouldn’t be there is Taretha’s Necklace — the one mentioned in Lord of the Clans that is retrievable via a horde quest. The last leg of the quest has you obtain the necklace because Thrall would like it back. This is all well and good, but when I looked at it from the eyes of my rogue, all I could think was that it was shiny, and pretty, and she would probably enjoy keeping it. So I did — I never turned in the quest, and it is one of a few that are left unfinished in my quest log. But with the introduction of GHI, I could make other odds and ends that suited my character, like the journals of Arch Druid Fandral Staghelm pictured above. In addition, I could make copies of every readable book in game and carry them around with me as my very own mini library!
I wondered though, what with the particular ingeniousness of this addon, what sort of items other people would make for their characters. What would represent them, what would they consider something that their character just “had to have” whether it be for looks or just a fun trinket to play with. Would it have a sound file linked to it, or would it just be something to read? With GHI, the possibilities are nearly limitless. So if you guys could make one thing for your character to carry around, what would it be?
During the Twitter Dev Chat, we learned that in Cataclysm, 310% speed flying mounts will be handled differently.
Bashiok – #BlizzChat Developer Chat on Twitter 4/16Q: Do you intend to have all 280% flying mounts scale to 310% when a 310% mount is earned, or will only purchased mounts do so?
A: Our current plan, is that in Cataclysm, you can learn a new rank of flying that lets all flying mounts move at 310% (even current 280% mounts). That will probably be as fast as mounts will ever get. We don’t like it that when you get a 310% mount that you stop using your old ones.
Q: If 310% speed is becoming trainable, does that mean we’ll be able to fly in Azeroth from the get-go?
A: We have considered the concept of “Old Weather Flying.” Just kidding. More than likely, you’ll just be able to fly from the beginning.

No word yet on if players with current 310% speed mounts will still have to learn this new rank of flying skill or not. Previously, 310% speed mounts were seen as status symbols and prizes to be gained via achievements, PvP, rare drops or so on. Personally, I’m hoping people with 310% speed mounts are at least grandfathered in as it would be annoying otherwise to not even be able to ride your mount once the change went live.
On the up side, at least we’ll be able to fly in Azeroth right away instead of having to train yet another rank of flying.
This week’s edition of the MMO Report hits the highlights of a busy week around the MMOsphere, and host Casey Schreiner is in fine form, particularly when he gives a shout out to Massively and our sister site WoW.com.
After those two show-stopping highlights, you’ll find news and commentary on Free Realms’ first birthday bash, tidbits about Sony’s The Agency, race and clan information for Square-Enix’s forthcoming Final Fantasy XIV, and a dose of reader humor courtesy of Uncle Casey’s Mailbag. Oh and don’t forget the mention of NCSoft’s City of Heroes II (or is it 2)?
No — that’s not a typo in the title. We didn’t get attacked by a swarm of ninjas who knocked us out on the “0″ button or anything like that. Nexon has announced that Dungeon Fighter Online has hit a worldwide total of 197 million registered players since launching in South Korea in 2005. To put it another way, put a penny in your hand and then imagine 196,999,999 more of them. That’s a lot.
The amazing thing is that DFO hasn’t technically launched yet in North America, which should push this number far higher. What’s a few million between gamers? The 2.5D game — which is a crossbreed of a side-scroller beat-em-up and an RPG — has grown by leaps and bounds in the NA beta, as Nexon has adjusted the level curve and added new content in preparation for the June launch.
Nexon had a few other impressive numbers to sling about as well. Up to this point, players have killed more than 1.6 billion monsters, invaded over 25 million dungeons and engaged in PvP arena combat over 28 million times. Does this make DFO one of the world’s most populated games? If you want to see the evidence for yourself, head over to DFO’s site, sign up for the beta (there’s no wipe going from beta to launch) and add to their hefty statistics.
I’ll admit it. I rolled a female gnome warrior alt because I enjoyed the idea of a perky short gearhead chick kicking the ass of a big hulky green dude. But you know what’s kept me coming back? The voice. Whenever I spam heroic strike and hear my gnome warrior insisting that she “needs more rage” I get a little bit giddy. It seriously is about the most adorable thing in game. She’s just so enthusiastic about getting some rage and beating up bad guys and I want to hug her and why is everyone looking at me like that? She’s just adorable, all right?
On the other hand, I’m a bit more ambivalent about my human death knight. I mean, the somewhat dashing, more than slightly dorky human voice was fine when I was dabbling with my bumbling human rogue who may or may not have been based primarily off of Xena’s Autolycus in character, but when I’m playing my cold, emotionless, implacable bringer of death, It just sort of jars me when I try to nod coldly at my guild leader and instead give a big old dorky thumbs up with my other hand at my hip and yell “Sounds Fine!” I mean, come on, I’m a god of war here, not Ned Flanders.
Anyhow, I was sort of wondering if other people paid attention to what their characters say. Do you like how your character sounds? What’s your favorite or least favorite PC line?
Enhancement shaman have been having a hard time keeping up with the top DPS classes in Icecrown Citadel, and Blizzard has apparently taken notice. Ghostcrawler popped over to the official forums today with a note on a new buff for the enhancement tree:
Ghostcrawler: Upcoming Enhancement buffWe agree with some of the recent discussion about Enhancement dps. We are going to hotfix a change to the Flurry talent to increase it from 25% to 30% attack speed with 5 ranks.
We also agree that Enhancement may have survivability problems and understand that players don’t necessarily feel they can afford the bonus Stamina from the Toughness talent, at least in PvE. We don’t have an immediate change to deploy here, but it’s something we’d like to fix and a candidate for future patches.
The crew over at Perfect World Entertainment have been hard at work localizing their upcoming action MMO, Battle of the Immortals. But as we find out from their Product Manager, Jonathan Belliss, this isn’t just a question of localizing the story or converting the in-game text over from the original language to English — the ramifications are far further-reaching.
In their most recent video developer update, we’re not only treated to some in-game eye-candy, but Belliss informs us that the team at PWE has been really doing their homework on the differences between Eastern and Western gamers and what they enjoy in their games. One of the major things many were wondering about is how the cash shop will be utilized. In China, players expect a “pay for power” model, which Belliss clearly states that they know Western players “absolutely hate.” As such, they’ve put in a lot of time doing a massive overhaul of the game, placing the power upgrades in as drops, and instead gearing the cash shop towards “convenience” — something much more palatable to the Western gamer.
Add to that, we’ve now gotten word that the plans are to start up the Battle of the Immortals closed beta on April 14th for players to get a chance to start testing these new gameplay changes. So if you’ve been curious about getting your hands on this beautifully-detailed upcoming Diablo-esque action MMO, then you’ll want to be sure to head over to the Perfect World Entertainment site and get signed up. If you’re curious about everything Belliss had to say in the recent developer update, we’ve embedded that video behind the break for you to check out. We’ll also be talking with Jon Belliss and Jason Varden from PWE on an upcoming edition of Massively Speaking, so you’ll undoubtedly be hearing more about this game soon!
A small update has been deployed this morning — patch 3.3.3a. The file is only about five megs, and we don’t know a whole lot about what it does. Speculation is that it allows PPC users to play the game again, although we can’t verify that right now (I’m sure some of you can, hint hint).
The patch notes are supposed to be up in the Bug Reporting Forums, however nothing is there. The patch notes provided with the patch are as follows:

One of EVE Online’s defining factors is the idea that you’re not completely safe anywhere in the game. If you’re not docked in a station or securely logged off, there’s always a chance that someone will pick a fight with you. Many pilots opt to stay in the relative safety of high security space but even this isn’t an absolutely safe area. Suicide attacks, corporate wars, can flippers and loot thieves are a common sight in New Eden and if you don’t know how to handle them, you could find yourself on the business end of a 150mm railgun.
In this guide for newer EVE players, I look at the main threats you could be exposed to in high security space and how to keep yourself safe in spite of them.
