Field Journal: Making peace with Vanguard

One Shots: And now, your moment of zen
It looks like we're playing tug-of-war with games now. Most of our recent submissions have been from Lord of the Rings Online, or from EverQuest II. Both games have gorgeous water effects, but there's something to be said for watching beautiful whi...
Valve sees MMOs as the future of the medium

The Mog Log: Final Fantasy XIV's launch week
It's been a week now since the start of early access in Final Fantasy XIV, and it's been a weird launch. Partly because it's not really a proper launch, it's a relaunch of a game that hadn't been playable for several months and is now back in a form...

Fallen Earth dev update reveals new info on loot drops and more

ArenaNet declassifies Guild Wars 2's Human military files

PlanetSide 2 devs run through a hypothetical battle scenario
The gulf between sparse previews of an MMO and actually getting your hands on it is wide indeed, but the makers of PlanetSide 2 have an idea. If they can't allow you in the game yet or show you a hands-on, why not describe how a battle scenario mi...
PAX South 2015: Slaying giants in Motiga's Gigantic
Motiga's Gigantic is one part Team Fortress, one part Dota, and one part Monster Hunter. The basic match structure will sound familiar to MOBA lovers -- two teams of five slug it out for superiority by controlling resources, leveling up, and killing...

PAX East 2012: A talk with PlanetSide 2's Matt Higby
"For me, it's such a compelling genre for anybody who's played it," SOE Creative Director Matt Higby said about PlanetSide 2's niche. "But that's the thing. There's not a lot of people who have played a MMOFPS, but the people who have are addicted...
