Player vs. Everything: Starting over2009-09-21 00:00:00while playing the first one. You can't pass yourself gold, give yourself items, or count on your high-level friends to help you out.
But those aren't the only reasons why you
wouldn't want to start fresh in a new game. The biggest barrier to starting over somewhere else is usually the learning curve. No matter how similar a game might be to your old game, there are always going to be substantial differences. Often the user interface itself presents a problem as you learn how to move around and interact with the game world, but differences in combat, tradeskills, chatting, and everything else about the game can also be quite frustrating and seem outlandi...
Puzzle Pirates Shows Indie Developers Can Succeed in the MMO Market2009-09-10 00:00:00Pirates in December 2003. The game now has over 9,000 paying subscribers.Although the title falls into the MMO genre, you
wouldn't know it at first glance. There are no levels to gain, no stat-boosting armor (or stats at all, for that matter), and no complex quests. Even combat has its own twist. As the name implies, Puzzle Pirates is all about the puzzles. Manning the bilge means matching up shapes in groups of 3 as fast as possible. Sword fighting becomes a head-to-head puzzle match up in the vein of multiplayer Tetris. Other puzzling tasks include sailing, and carpentry. As a crew, cooperation becomes necessary to survival.
We spoke with Three Rings CEO Daniel James about the story behind Puzzle Pirates, the future for indie developers, and where the MMO market is headed.GameDAILY BIZ: How large is the Three Rings team? What previous experience does it have? Daniel James: The crew numbers eigh...

Player vs. Everything: Analyzing the Wrath of the Lich King news explosion2009-09-04 00:00:00pretty major. I thought I
would use today's article to go over some of the most exciting announcements, discuss what makes them so interesting, and talk about what it means for the game (and for you). I'll be pointing out the links as I go along, but if you just want to go check out the articles, this post will send you everywhere you want to go and this post has a nice synopsis of all the available info in one easy place.Before I start digging in, I just wanted to mention that I
would never, ever, want to compete with Blizzard as a game company. Those poor guys at Funcom... The Age of Conan release date was set for a month after Blizzard's big Sunwell patch -- it looked like they were in the clear, and they could ride people's boredom all the way to September and maybe even hold them. And then, Blizzard drops a bomb like this (ten days before AoC's release, which I'd bet my shirt was no coincidence). People will be talking about this stuff for months, it's going to be hard to get a word in edge-wise over the buzz, and the promise of a mystery patch that will let us spend our gold o...
