MMO Community Spotlight: Gamebreaker's Gary Gannon
What would an MMO be without its community? Development is only a fraction of what makes an MMO successful; the passion of its players is what really makes or breaks any massively online game. So we're excited to spotlight those members of the MMO...
The Daily Grind: Are MMO communities inclusive or exclusive?
In my opinion, one of the best aspects of MMO gaming is the communities that form around these titles (and MMOs in general). The excitement and passion of these games can foster spirited discussion and a sense of belonging for those looking to con...

Stick and Rudder: Should you be scared off by Star Citizen's community?

Life is Feudal livestream features Q&A, two hours of gameplay
Life is Feudal is the latest indie sandbox to make waves in the MMO community, but what's the actual gameplay like? That question is at least partially answered thanks to a two-hour livestream published on YouTube earlier today. Lead developer Bobik...
