| Rise and Shiny: Rise of Mythos Posted: 13 Oct 2013 10:00 AM PDT Filed under: Video, Game Mechanics, PvP, Opinion, Free-to-Play, Browser, Hands-On, Casual, Rise and Shiny, Livestream  Rise of Mythos is roughly animated, sure, and the fact that it exists within a browser is enough to give many gamers a reason to run, at least those gamers convinced that the way a game is delivered is some guarantee of its quality. I found its easy access, interesting and surprisingly in-depth gameplay, and tons of activities to be a powerful mixture. Call me gleefully wrong about this one.

"The game looked terrible, and I lagged so badly it was almost unplayable, so I finally got fed and up and begged, borrowed, and stole enough for a proper gaming computer. I can now run the game smoothly at max settings, and my God, it's beautiful. My first five minutes were spent repeating the phrase, 'Oh, wow' and spamming the screenshot key. This shot is my favourite. If you look closely, you can see a slight pattern of shadow on my Templar's chest. This is the moonlight shining through her hair. Amazing." Will you be saying, "Oh, wow!" after seeing the rest of the pictures from this week's player submissions? I think you might! Continue reading One Shots: Oh, wow

| The Daily Grind: What's your favorite Halloween content? Posted: 13 Oct 2013 06:00 AM PDT Filed under: Culture, Events (In-Game), Opinion, The Daily Grind, Miscellaneous  It's hard to say what my favorite is. I was always amused by Mad King Thorn's horrible jokes in Guild Wars, I absolutely loved the Haunted Burrow in LotRO, and I spent many hours tackling the Headless Horseman in World of Warcraft. Last year's Cat God content in The Secret World was no slouch, either. So what's your favorite Halloween content and are you going to be playing it this year?  Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!

| The Elder Scrolls Online community creates emotes for the game Posted: 12 Oct 2013 06:00 PM PDT Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, Video, Contests, Culture, The Elder Scrolls Online, Subscription  Over a hundred fans submitted their own emote ideas, and along with Trevor, a few others will receive prize packages for their efforts. If you've got a chunk of time and like to see people going into great depth about emotes, check out the YouTube playlist for the contest after the break.

| The Tattered Notebook: Forging your own leveling path in EverQuest II Posted: 12 Oct 2013 04:00 PM PDT Filed under: Fantasy, EverQuest II, Opinion, Free-to-Play, The Tattered Notebook, Guides  Folks who watch EverQuest Two-sday have seen me lope along the Golden Path, EQII's version of an in-game guide to where to level. But in EQII, the path is not a rigid set-up directing player steps as in many other themeparks. No, the Golden Path here is more of an occasional checkpoint along your journey that offers you just a nudge in the next general direction. Even then, you don't have to follow those implied suggestions. Maybe you'd prefer to forge your own path. That's where today's guide comes in! But unlike the recent guide for the new level 85s, this guide is for any and every level range, so no matter where you are now, you can see all the possibilities for where to go next.

| CityState publishes Camelot Unchained Piercing the Veil Q&A Posted: 12 Oct 2013 02:00 PM PDT Filed under: Fantasy, Game Mechanics, MMO Industry, New Titles, PvP, News Items, Community Q&A, Camelot Unchained, Subscription  The first round of questions covers everything from swapping out game music files to class specs to formal guild alliances. In a related post on CityState's Kickstarter page, CEO Mark Jacobs reaffirms that Camelot Unchained is slated for internal testing starting in January.

| TUG alpha moves closer to multiplayer, terraforming Posted: 12 Oct 2013 01:00 PM PDT Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, MMO Industry, New Titles, News Items, Sandbox, Crowdfunding  If everything goes smoothly, TUG alpha testers can look forward to playing together in creative mode in two patch cycles. Additionally, devs are "working on a host of fancy terrain modification tools, which will include things like chiseling, sculpting, odd shape blocks, etc." that will help TUG to lose that cube-only feeling. Hear all the details about these systems and more in the full progress notes.

| The Game Archaeologist: A history of EverQuest expansions Posted: 12 Oct 2013 12:00 PM PDT Filed under: Fantasy, EverQuest, Expansions, Free-to-Play, The Game Archaeologist  Today I want to pay tribute to the 20 expansions of EverQuest by going through them, one by one, and seeing how they grew and enriched the game over the past decade-and-a-half. I would also love to hear testimonies in the comments as to which EverQuest expansion you enjoyed the most! Continue reading The Game Archaeologist: A history of EverQuest expansions

| DDO plans changes to reincarnation system Posted: 12 Oct 2013 11:00 AM PDT Filed under: Fantasy, Dungeons and Dragons Online, Game Mechanics, Patches, Previews, Free-to-Play, Dev Diaries  These four types of reincarnation reset your levels (either back a few or all the way to level 1) while giving you bonuses like past life feats and more build points for your next run. Epic reincarnation merely resets your epic levels to 20, while iconic reincarnation applies only to the new iconic characters. There's a great amount of information about this complex system available on the forums, including a look at how different forms of reincarnation will work depending on your class.
