World of Tanks has been turning a lot of heads as of late for its unique premise, accessibility, and the fact that everyone likes tanks. I got a chance to sit down with the people at Russian-based wargaming.net and got a hands-on experience with the title that took GDC Russia, just to see what all the excitement is about.

Planet Calypso is a gigantic MMORPG that has become incredibly popular over the years. The game itself is now getting a planet company to manage the game itself.

This new addition is going to allow Planet Calypso to come into its own. The extra resources will allow the game to grow and expand much father than it ever has before. The MMORPG is already a part of a large social network virtual universe. While it was an important part of the entire universe, it could only consume a certain amount of the overall resources of the company running the universe. Thanks to the new planet company, Planet Calypso will be able to flourish. There will be upgrades to game play as well as new storylines and other various upgrades that will make the game better than before.

 

Planet Calypso is a free to playMMORPG that brings together an entire online community into one single gaming website. The idea of Planet Calyspo revolves around an expanding human colony that has to work with what it has to establish a new civilization. This

 

Browser-Based Games Bring in Massive User Base

Florida-based Artix entertainment has seen a surprising amount of users lining up to play and participate in their extremely popular browser-based games. With more than 400,000 unique hits per day, the browser-based MMORPG’s have begun to rival the user base of even the larger games such as World of Warcraft. As long as this type of tremendous user base exists, it becomes excessively clear that there are all manner of possibilities in store for these types of simple games.

With a stable of three popular games, Adventure Quest, MechQuest, and DragonFable, the company has seen staggering amounts of popularity and numbers that rival even that of the largest online video games.

One of the most common complaints I’ve seen for most F2P games is that the translation is incomplete, such as the help menu is

Here are the screenshots of Pirus after the 3rd CBT in korea. Nice game, isn't it? Hopefully we'll taste them in next half a year.

 

To quote the fair and beautiful Galadriel, \"Your quest stand upon an edge of a knife. Stray but a little and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while all the company is true.\" And that is where we a
