Aion News – NCsoft Responds to Player Shop AFKers

January 10th, 2010

  Find yourself sitting in a seven hour queue recently? You can thank your fellow community members for that. Many players have been abusing the player shop system in Aion, which lets players set up shop anywhere in the world and hawk their wares, in order to avoid queue times.

Gotta break for dinner? Don’t want to come back and deal with a queue? Set up shop! Up until today, being in shop mode protected you from the idle out timer. This practice has compounded the issue of already crowded servers by causing queue times to shoot up as more and more people catch on and set up shop to avoid idling out.

Well this morning Aion went down for maintenance, and returned with a newly implemented 30 minute limit on player shops. Now, if only they added some more severs!

Wonderland Online News – Nessie the Loch Ness Monster

January 8th, 2010

  For those who venture into the whimsy of Wonderland Online, they’ll find almost anything can appear in the virtual world of Wonderland – even the legendarily reclusive Loch Ness Monster! No one knows much about this monster, except from the videos and pictures depicting a large dark shadow moving along the surface of Loch Ness. Inspired by this mysterious legend, the Wonderland Online dev team has a new boss based on this legend, Nessie – the Loch Ness Monster! In the game, Nessie isn’t as fond of the cold waters of the foggy loch as previously thought, and instead prefers the warm, sunny Mediterranean.

The adventure to find Nessie starts on the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean Sea. There, players will come across a mysterious coral rock. Touch it and suddenly a long slender seaweed green neck rises from the flat calm water. Blazing red eyes will stare hungrily, just before a huge mouth swoops down and swallows everyone up.

When characters regain their senses, they’ll be in complete darkness. Slowly it may dawn on them they have fallen into the belly of the beast! The cavernous interior is littered with the hulks of broken ships and the occasional sailors bones. It’s not safe here, so watch out for attacks, but if they can survive, they’ll find two other survivors to aid in the escape. One is the lonely Puppet Master in the small intestine, the other is Robinson in the large intestine. Where players go from here depends on what they decide to do, it’s up to them.

Luna Online News – Preview

January 8th, 2010

We’re sure you’re noticing a trend in the free to play genre these days and it’s not a particularly exciting one. A phenomenon wherein company produces a ridiculous number of MMO franchises in the hopes that you will eventually take note of one and hopefully invest. On one hand, I applaud this foray into the wild world of MMO capitalism since it exposes the massive multi player genre to the public at large and likewise creates competition for the more dedicated gamers. Competition theoretically means that said company will work harder for your dollar and will hopefully produce a better product in the processes. On the other hand, this projectile vomiting of titles also tends to endear the ‘if it works, why fix it?’ mentality, which has in turn has given rise to the MMO clone wars. These companies will invariably attempt to produce a cutesy MMO with an Asian-anime feel, a serious MMO probably featuring an ancient Chinese theme, some flavor of sports MMO and a fluffy socialization MMO if that wasn’t already included in the cutesy-anime one. One need look any further than Konami as one of the more egregious offenders, and gpotato is rapidly joining the ranks with their newest effort: Luna Online.
