Short MMO Review: District 187- Sin Streets
Short MMO Review: District 187- Sin Streets
District 187: Sin Streets has recently come out on Open Beta, updating its map and weapon selection. But is it worth playing? Should you take the time to download and play District 187, as opposed to more popular online first-person shooter (FPS) games such as Alliance of Valiant Arms or Blacklight: Retribution?

Aion 4.0 – NCsoft reveals Shooting Star preview trailer
Aion 4.0 – NCsoft reveals Shooting Star preview trailer
1 of the 3 new upcoming classes for NCsoft's Aion version 4.0, the
Shooting Star class got its first preview trailer earlier. This made me
realize why Blade & Soul's new class isn't a gunner-type, but rather
a melee one. NCsoft will be missing from G*Star 2012, with the focus
probably on Aion 4.0 [Read more at Gameforumer.com]

Rise and Shiny revisit: Dark Age of Camelot
Rise and Shiny revisit: Dark Age of Camelot
About once a year I like to take a look back at Dark Age of Camelot, the classic PvP MMO by Mythic Entertainment, just to reassure myself that older MMOs are still some of the best around. Dark Age of Camelot comes from that older crop of titles like Asheron's Call and EverQuest, games that still shine despite their age. Of course the next logical question is, "If these games are still so good, why aren't more of us still playing them?" There's an easy answer, really. First of all, we don't spend time sitting around listening to our favorite albums or watching our favorite movies constantly, but we still appreciate them, possibly more than we did when we first found them. Next, all games are finite for us as individuals. There is no MMO that offers endless content if we take away the endless player-made content that comes from roleplay or exploration.
No matter how good a game like Dark Age of Camelot was and still is, many of us have already experienced it quite a bit. It's only human to become slightly bored with something we've played with time and again. But once again, I've spent a week in a game that shows it's always a good thing to check back on our favorites. They just might surprise you all over again.

RIFT drops Storm Legion NDA, livecasts player housing tour
RIFT drops Storm Legion NDA, livecasts player housing tour
As RIFT enters its second beta weekend for Storm Legion, the team at Trion Worlds announced that the NDA for the expansion is now lifted. In addition to all of this craziness, the devs took players on a livestream tour of the new player housing system.
In the livestream, the dimensions of Granite Falls Inn, Faen's Retreat and Dormant Core were shown off. Players are able to have multiple dimensions, with the first two available for free. At the launch of Storm Legion, there will be 250 objects included in the system with more to come.
Dimensions can be set to either private or public, with the latter being able to hold up to 200 people at once. Public dimensions have a rating system, may be joined randomly, and can have the option to allow visitors to add their own creations as well.
You can watch the full dimensions video after the jump, and stay tuned for Massively's hands on with the beta!

Do you play some games inactively?
Grind Your Mind: How Do you play some games Actively or Inactively?
I can log into RIFT any time I want. I have my subscription active, and I'm perfectly happy to give Trion Worlds my money on a monthly basis. But my actual playtime with the game is spotty at best. Despite this, I still describe myself as playing the game, because I am still playing, just not in an active capacity. An inactive capacity, if you will.
With free-to-play becoming the dominant business model in the MMO genre, it's easier than ever to be an inactive player in your game of choice. You jump in for a couple of days, let the game sit for a week, then jump back in without any real penalties. You don't have to stick with any game longer than you want to. Still, there are games that require a subscription to play, and some people will pop into a free-to-play game to buy new things and then jump right out. So what about you? Is there a game that keeps getting your money even though it's not an active part of your play rotation?
