| The Nexus Telegraph: The first week in WildStar Posted: 09 Jun 2014 10:00 AM PDT Filed under: Sci-Fi, Game Mechanics, Launches, Opinion, WildStar, Dungeons, The Nexus Telegraph, Subscription, Buy-to-Play  It's safe to say that I'm enjoying the game a whole lot. Server loads seem to have largely stabilized, at least from my end, and the fullness of time has given me more opportunities to run more stuff and really enjoy a wider variety of what's in the game. There's some good stuff, some annoying stuff, and some things that kind of cut both ways at the same time. So let's just dive in, shall we?

| Week in Review: CCP rides the emotional roller coaster Posted: 08 Jun 2014 06:00 PM PDT Filed under: MMO Industry, Massively Meta, Week in Review, Miscellaneous  CCP and its supporters took a roller coaster ride this week, from the high of EVE Online's Kronos expansion release to the low of the company's latest brush with layoffs. As if that wasn't enough, a former World of Darkness dev spilled his guts to The Guardian, calling into question CCP's executive decision-making as well as the company's ability to make a successful title after EVE. Oh yeah, and WildStar launched. Click past the cut for the rest of this week's top MMO stories. Continue reading Week in Review: CCP rides the emotional roller coaster

| EVE Evolved: Growing the EVE Universe Posted: 08 Jun 2014 04:00 PM PDT Filed under: Sci-Fi, EVE Online, Business Models, Culture, Lore, MMO Industry, New Titles, Opinion, MMOFPS, EVE Evolved, DUST 514, Sandbox, Subscription, MMORPG  The active EVE playerbase isn't really growing, so it should come as no surprise that CCP has been trying to expand the EVE universe on other fronts. Though the first attempt with console FPS DUST 514 was an unmitigated disaster, EVE players still seem quietly optimistic about its PC reboot as EVE: Legion. Dogfighter EVE: Valkyrie has also piqued the interest of the emerging virtual reality community and has the potential to introduce EVE to thousands of fresh faces. EVE's Creative Director Torfi Frans Olafsson even hinted during Fanfest 2014 that EVE Online, Valkyrie and Legion might all share a single login and that characters may eventually be able to switch between games at will. In this edition of EVE Evolved, I look at why I think a shared login could be a stroke a genius, and interview EVE's Creative Director and Valkyrie's Executive Producer to find out what the future holds for the EVE universe.

| Graphical upgrades en route for Age of Wushu Posted: 08 Jun 2014 02:00 PM PDT Filed under: Fantasy, Historical, Interviews, News Items, Free-to-Play, Sandbox, Age of Wushu  Shi Hai also commented on the potential of a subscription server for Age of Wushu, noting that while several free-to-play games have dabbled with the idea, they seem to inevitably wind up going back to the free-to-play model in time. He stated that the company is currently focusing on porting the game to home consoles rather than exploring the possibility of any sort of subscription server.

| Shroud of the Avatar sells player-owned towns for a steep price Posted: 08 Jun 2014 12:00 PM PDT Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, Free-to-Play, Housing, Shroud of the Avatar  Portalarium also showed off the new row house, concept art for the city of Ardoris, and announced the ability to purchase player-owned towns.
