Make Your Own World Of Warcraft Gold The Easy Way2009-09-24World of Warcraft is the biggest MMORPG online anywhere in the globe. More than 11,000,000 players log on every month to finish quests and explore the large fantasy realms offered in this stunningly unique game. How could anybody ever lose interest with this sort of an incredibly detailed game? There are several new players that never get to grasp the true depth in this brilliant game just because their characters do not have enough gold to buy stronger armor, better weapons and pay for higher ability levels. They have a tendency to give up in disappointment instead of keep playing to see the true price of this big game.
Plenty of these newer players do not understand that it's comparatively simple to earn in-game WoW gold quickly in order that they can continue to play, purchasing everything they need to boost their characters' performance. If you search on the internet, you will find tons of maps and search cheats that may tell you how to close the quests you must earn experience points, but that isn't the same as learning to generate your own gold in-game if you desire. So these are some simple gold-making pointers that may help you on the way. When you start playing World of Warcr...
An Online Game Pioneer's Blank Slate2009-09-19South Korea's NCsoft is a pioneer of the new gaming genre of MMORPG, or massively multiplayer online role-playing games. Banking on the popularity of games such as Lineage, NCsoft is the No. 1 gaming company in Korea. The company is well-positioned to profit from a growing industry: Research firm DFC Intelligence expects the global online gaming market to grow from $4.5 billion in 2006 to $13.1 billion in 2012.
NCsoft has yet to make much of a mark in the West, though, since gamers used to Nintendo's Wii, Sony's (SNE) PlayStation, or Microsoft's (MSFT) Xbox have been slower than their Korean counterparts to embrace playing games online. NCsoft is trying to change that. On Oct. 4, the company announced the acquisition of Carbine Studios, an Orange County (Calif.) group of experienced game designers who have worked on such popular online games as World of Warcraft.
On Nov. 2, NCsoft will face its biggest test yet when it launches its latest product, a 3D game called Tabula Rasa, in North America and Europe. Ahead of the crucial launch, BusinessWeek's Seoul bureau chief Moon Ihlwan spoke to the game's principal developer. Richard Garriott, 46, was the creator of Ultima Online, the first online game introduced in the U.S. Now NCsoft's execut...
An MMO cookbook2009-09-16Before you start building the ultimate MMO, you should accept that "MMO" is a technology, not a game design. It still feels like many MMOs are trying to build on the fundamental designs established by UO and EQ in the late '90s. In the heyday of Doom and Quake we all eventually realized that "3D" was a technology, distinct from the "FPS," which was a game design. It's time we accepted that for MMOs as well. We are finding ways to overcome many of the limitations of the technology that dictated the early MMO design, such as Internet latency and limited global scalability. These improvements can enable a new class of online games that break out of the traditional MMO mold and explore new territory. It can be a daunting proposition to willfully walk away from what seems to be a "sure thing" in game design, but lack of differentiation is probably the number one reason that MMOs fail, so we all need to leave the comfort zone and start innovating, or risk creating yet another "me too" MMO.

The Daily Grind: On gateway games2009-09-08One of the many topics our own Robin Torres has featured by reader request has been the topic of getting your girlfriend into gaming. While many people truly enjoy the MMORPG genre, we're not entirely certain that anyone walks into a store the first time out and says to themselves that an MMO is the way they're going to start playing games. (Of course, with World of Warcraft breaking so many records, perhaps it is likely that someone got their start playing WoW before ever picking up an earlier title.) I know for myself, the earliest gam...
