| Wings Over Atreia: PvP tourney produces victory for winner and Aion Posted: 13 Jan 2013 09:00 AM PST Filed under: Fantasy, Aion, Contests, Events, in-game, PvP, Free-to-play, Wings Over Atreia  I'll be the first to admit I am not by any means a master of PvP (so you can quit your laughing over there before your sides split), but both the announcement and the message itself brought a smile to my face and more hope to my heart. Heck, I may even have more spring in my step! Why? I'll tell you why! Join me as we check out this battle royal where the Daevas of Tiamat duke it out until there's only one standing as well as what an event such as this means for Aion.

| One Shots: To those left behind Posted: 13 Jan 2013 07:00 AM PST Filed under: Screenshots, Lord of the Rings Online, Culture, Tabula Rasa, Guild Wars 2, One Shots, Miscellaneous  "While going through some old screenshots, I came across a few from Tabula Rasa," John shared. "It was taken in November of 2007 as Veracious Pearl was ready to do some fighting." Sadly, that soldier never made it out of the war. That doesn't mean we've given up fighting, however! Knock down a few mobs in the name of Veracious Pearl today, and when you're done, you should check out the rest of today's One Shots troops. Continue reading One Shots: To those left behind

| The Daily Grind: What was the best MMO expansion of all time? Posted: 13 Jan 2013 05:00 AM PST Filed under: Culture, Expansions, Opinion, The Daily Grind, Miscellaneous  A great expansion significantly improves upon the game that came before. Perhaps it adds a wealth of new content, is just superbly done, or introduces a beloved feature to the game. For you, it could be the expansion in which you fell in love with a certain MMO. Don't hold back here; if there ever was a time to step up and be bold, now is it. Let's fight it out in the comments over the best expansion that was, is, and ever will be!  Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!

| The Mog Log: (Over)analyzing the Final Fantasy XIV trailer Posted: 12 Jan 2013 03:00 PM PST Filed under: Fantasy, Trailers, Opinion, Consoles, Final Fantasy XIV, The Mog Log  Of course, the new opening movie is the only piece of information we've had about the game for a little while, but it seems worth analyzing and examining even on its own merits. No, I'm not talking about speculating as to whether or not the guy on the horse who looks exactly like Odin is in fact Odin or not (spoiler, doy). I want to talk about what this means for the lore, what the overall effect is, and whether or not this monster of a trailer succeeds at what it's meant to do.

| The Tattered Notebook: Why I came back to EverQuest II Posted: 12 Jan 2013 01:00 PM PST Filed under: Fantasy, EverQuest II, Game mechanics, MMO industry, PvE, Opinion, Free-to-play, The Tattered Notebook  There's a fine coating of dust on the furniture. The neighborhood has a bunch of new rules and as many new neighbors. All in all, though, the spires of Freeport and its refurbished waterfront are a welcome sight. EQII has always been the one MMO that I return to without fail; it's also the one that I've played the most, now that Star Wars Galaxies is gone. This time around, I'm coming back not for an expansion or a new feature (although there are plenty of both in the world's deepest themepark) but rather for the need for a little MMO stability. And hey, I'd be lying if I said I'm not partly motivated by the promise of EQNext. Continue reading The Tattered Notebook: Why I came back to EverQuest II

| ArcheAge lists Korean pre-order options for next week's launch Posted: 12 Jan 2013 11:00 AM PST Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, Launches, ArcheAge, Sandbox  While the translation is never perfect, it looks as if the various pre-order packages include game time (including bonus days), commemorative coins, items, buffs, and even a "sky boat." There's a limited amount of time to take the studio up on this offer, so if you're in the region and interested, definitely give it a look sooner rather than later. [Thanks to Dengar for the tip!]
