Recently there has been quite a few posts about the MMORPG industry coming to an end, and I think that there are more than one reasons for the industry to end... if it ever does. Let’s imagine for a moment that the MMORPG genre is a drug, one that is now showing its first side effects. The studies about the effects of this new drug are now coming out to the surface, and the result is a mixed combination between death, passion, and server maintenance. In the past year, the MMORPG News were very diverse. From online players marrying their raiding partner to younger ones killing each other over a virtual item, the News kept coming in one even more amazing than the other. And apparently even pornstars play online; you never know who you might run into.

Players

    Players will contribute to the end of virtual days, by providing a new player hell for every newbie that logs in. By raising the prices of their stores and continuously attempting to scam other players they will successfully create an economy imbalance regardless of Game Master efforts to avoid this by modifying the drop rates. They will publish about their sour experiences about every single online game ever made, and o

   Interview with developer for Feeria, the game is currently under development, and you can find the developer’s blog right here on MMOSite Game Blogs. 

What is your name and your role in the Feeria development?

My name is Andrzej and I’m responsible for all from characters arts and for level design. My friends are responsible for model design and background ideas.

Where are the Feeria development headquarters located?

Poland, Warsaw. Right now at my home.

What other projects have you worked on before Feeria?

It was a 2D game called Fury.  

In short what is the plot of Feeria?

Maybe I will elaborate about that later on the game page.

How many races are contemplated for the first release and what are their names?

How big will the game maps be?

Don’t expect maps size like in World of Worldcraft, but they will be big enough and suitable for gameplay.

What types of landscapes are we going to see?, cold places, deserts, swamps?

Deserts and beautiful green meadows. 

Will it be  open PVP or will it have safe and unsafe areas?

On this article you will find a collection of facts and features about the upcoming game Darkfall Online. I hope you find it useful.

The Makers

Aventurine is a company… that.. that.. err, wait, umm *cough* that…*sigh* that…is making Darkfall. What?, ahh you wanted more information?, well I set sail in the Dakfall boat, and surfing the web for information about this company is as hard as killing a dragon with a toothpick.

In a nutshell, Aventurine is based in Greece, they have made flight simulators for the Greek government and they don't have released any visible games. The Darkfall development started approximately in 2001, and they have a developer journal that they publish regularly.

Nevertheless, I found a very interesting post, where a poster drafted a timeline of howAventurine ended up baking the cake.

Me

My name is Cesar Chacon but you can call me Suki.

Background:

I have been a Web Developer since 2000. I took programming in High School where I made my first database program. On July 2005 I started working as an intern in Autoelectronica de Juarez (Yazaki Corporation) as a Web Developer there I got hands on experience with ASP, SQL, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and MS Access. I worked there for a year creating custom web applications from scratch involved in problem solving operations with time constraints.

After that I worked on learning video editing, digital sound editing and photoshop. I dedicated myself to be a freelancer Web Developer and I created a couple of websites for small companies.

On August of 2004 I enrolled in The University Of Texas at El Paso where I am still studying towards my Bachelors Degree in Computer Science. I started learning 3D modeling on Fall of 2007, I became more and more inter

Continuing from Building your Character, hopefully this quick guide can help you get the big picture of what happens inside the vast world of MMORPGs.On this section you will find general information about guilds, crafting concepts and Player versus Player dynamics.

Guilds/Clans

Most games support a Guild/Clan feature, if you are not familiar with the term guild think of it as a team. Just like on TV where they have "Blue Team vs Red Team" it’s a similar thing. In some games a single player can create a guild in exchange for gold and/or skill points, or he might need more players to "sign" an application(guild charter) and then register the guild.

Within the guild there are guild ranks, usually the person who is the head of the guild is the Guild Master, Guild Leader or Clan Master. There are also more ranks for officers that have the power to invite more players into the guild and then the rest of the guild members don't have any add/remove powers.

After the guild has been created it can be upgraded to hold more members. Again, exchanging gold and/ or skill points to perform the upgrade.

There are as many different types of guilds as type of players

Careers

Every game has their own career selection, they can be called careers or classes, maybe even jobs. This is a quick generalized guide and it doesn’t apply to every game out there. Here are some of the most common types:

Archer(Ranged)

It can use a bow or not, usually their defense is not very high, but they rely on high damage level to kill their mob before they mob reaches them. They work really well at dealing quick damage when they have as warrior to tank for them.

Mage/Enchanter

This type of character might use a book or a staff and like the archer has low defense but has very high damaging attacks. If you fight a mage, they are going to use several powers to stun you and even turn your character into an animal (It happened to me, and it was not cool-_- )

I think Elementalists would also fall in the mage category, they are called that because they use Fire, Ice, Water, and/or Earth based attacks.

Summoner

This players are similar to the mage class, they can cast spells as well; but, as their name describes, th
