Intel Rumored to Release Refreshed Haswell Processors in April Posted: 17 Feb 2014 12:14 PM PST New Haswell processors may arrive a month ahead of schedule It seems like we hear something new everyday by hanging around the CPU rumor mill. Once again, Intel is at the center of speculation, though instead of talking about delays, rumor has it the Santa Clara chip maker is planning to launch its refreshed Haswell line a month early. That means new Haswell processors could appear as early as next month (April) rather than May as originally planned. News and rumor site Digitimes says it was made aware of Intel's change of plans by do-it-yourself motherboard makers in Taiwan. If this turns out to be true, it would add a bit of credence to an earlier Digitimes report claiming Intel is delaying Broadwell until the fourth quarter so that Haswell has more time to sell. While that may be the case, some vendors are worried that refreshed Haswell processors will make it more difficult to clear out their existing Haswell inventories. It could get even more difficult in May when motherboard makers release mobos built around Intel's 9-series chipset, however the new chipset will support existing Haswell CPUs.

Forbes Falls Prey to Hacker Attack, 1 Million Email Addresses Compromised Posted: 17 Feb 2014 11:41 AM PST Watch out for a spike in phishing attempts There must not be anything to watch on cable, hence anyone can think of another reason why hackers are finding themselves so restless these days. In addition to Kickstarter suffering a security breach in recent days, Forbes acknowledged on Facebook that it was targeted in a digital attack in which its publishing platform was compromised, along with the email address of every single registered user. User passwords were also stolen, though they were encrypted. Even still, Forbes is "strongly" encouraging its readers to change their passwords once the sign-on option is made available again. Forbes is also warning readers to be on the lookout for emails that purport to come from the site, as hackers may try to use the list of email addresses in phishing attempts. "We have notified law enforcement. We take this matter very seriously and apologize to the members of our community for this breach," Forbes stated on its Facebook page. The Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) is claiming credit for the security breach, saying on Twitter that Forbes "deserved to be embarrassed" because it "has been so unethical." SEA initially tried to sell the stolen data before claiming to have posted the information for free. Follow Paul on Google+, Twitter, and Facebook

AMD Radeon R9 290X is Still Hard to Find Posted: 17 Feb 2014 09:40 AM PST Where have all the Radeon R9 290X graphics cards gone? Back in December of last year, we noticed that AMD's Radeon R9 290X graphics card was hard to find, which we (and the rest of the web) ultimately surmised was due to the virtual coin mining craze. With the rapid rise in value of Bitcoins, miners who were late to the party started looking at Litecoin mining in hopes of making some easy money. Since AMD's cards do a better job at mining these virtual gold nuggets, the 290X became a hot commodity. Fast forward to today and the card is still in short supply, but is mining still to blame? Probably so, though that may not be the only reason the 290X is sold out in most locations. Fudzilla, which noticed the absence of stock in places like Newegg and TigerDirect, surmises that Mantle might also be a reason why these cards fly off of store shelves, even at inflated prices. AMD's Mantle API offers performance gains in Battlefield 4 and will do the same for other supported titles, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that gamers are willing to pay a premium for the 290X versus its MSRP. And obviously miners will shell out an extra $100 or so per card if they think they'll be able to dig up virtual coins for a quick profit. At present, the 290X is completely sold out on Newegg, where prices range from $700 to $800, well above the card's $549 MSRP. One of the few places you can find the card is on Amazon, but only through third-party sellers. Follow Paul on Google+, Twitter, and Facebook

Kickstarter Apologizes for Security Breach, Advises Changing Your Password Posted: 17 Feb 2014 09:12 AM PST Hackers stole customer data from Kickstarter's database Kickstarter's rising popularity has apparently made it a target for hackers, some of which recently weaseled their way into the crowdfunding site's database and made off with some sensitive information. Some usernames, email addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, and encrypted passwords were compromised in the data breach, though Kickstarter says no credit card data was accessed. Kickstarter also said that while actual passwords were not revealed, it would be possible for a malicious person with enough computing power to guess and crack an encrypted password, especially if it's a weak or obvious one. In an updated statement, Kickstarter acknowledged that older passwords were uniquely salted and digested with SHA-1 multiple times, while more recent passwords are hashed with bcrypt. "We're incredibly sorry that this happened. We set a very high bar for how we serve our community, and this incident is frustrating and upsetting," Kickstarter stated in a blog post. "We have since improved our security procedures and systems in numerous ways, and we will continue to do so in the weeks and months to come. We are working closely with law enforcement, and we are doing everything in our power to prevent this from happening again." Kickstarter has taken some heat for waiting until Saturday to alert people of the breach even though it was notified by law enforcement officials on Wednesday night. "We immediately closed the breach and notified everyone as soon as we had thoroughly investigated the situation," Kickstarter explained. Regardless, the damage is done and Kickstarter is advising its users to change their passwords, both for their Kickstarter accounts and anywhere else where they might use the same one.

Microsoft Pushing Users To Adopt Windows 8 Over Windows 7 Posted: 16 Feb 2014 11:18 PM PST Windows 7 support is being phased out Microsoft has set a firm date of October 31st for final sale of consumer Windows 7 machines, but business machines are another story. The official website has been updated as such to reflect this, with Microsoft noting that October 31, 2014 is the new end-of-sale date for Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, or Ultimate PCs. Home Premium takes the cake when it comes to sales, but now Microsoft is pushing for Windows 8 to take over as reigning champ, per PC World. Last year, Microsoft gave the same date for the halting of sale of all Windows 7 PCs, but then redacted that same announcement. It's standard practice to give a year's notice before pulling the plug on support, and this is projected to be the case with business machines, but it's possible this will change over the course of the year. Are you still using Windows 7 or have you updated? What about any business computers at the office?

AionSource shutting down Posted: 17 Feb 2014 09:00 AM PST Filed under: Fantasy, Aion, Culture, News Items, Free-to-Play It's been a good eight-year run for one of Aion's longest fan sites, but that run is over now. AionSource, a fansite operated by Curse, is shutting down over the next few weeks, first going into read-only mode before being shut down altogether. The site's current administrator has set up a new site for the community members who would like to migrate. No reason has been stated for the shutdown; the site is not the only fan site that Curse has shut down in recent years, most likely due to a lack of cash flow. Users are encouraged to back up forum posts and the like before the shut down, while site administrators attempt to copy over some of the most useful community guides. Our best wishes to the community organizers attempting to keep the group together through the move.

ArcheAge fansite compiles the game's current problems Posted: 17 Feb 2014 08:00 AM PST Filed under: Fantasy, Culture, Patches, News Items, ArcheAge, Sandbox It's hard out there for an ArcheAge fan in the USA; the game still isn't out here, seems to be getting no closer to release, and is getting an official release in what seems like every other possible country. So one of the biggest ArcheAge fansites is trying to make the localization job for Trion Worlds just a little bit easier by explaining exactly what the game's major issues are, with a specific eye toward its most recent patch. Essentially, the complaints in the thread focus around the idea that the game continues to reduce the effectiveness of open PvP while adding in far more standard themepark elements, including a heavy reliance on daily quests near the level quest. If you've played the game's Korean version, you can feel free to jump in on the thread and add your own views. No word on how much this will be heard by the localization team, but it's a good snapshot of what the community likes about the game and what could be improved.

Introducing Terrayn, a persistent world sandbox Posted: 17 Feb 2014 07:00 AM PST Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, New Titles, Sandbox, Crowdfunding Another day, another hopeful sandbox MMO takes its first fledgling steps onto the Kickstarter scene looking for those who believe in it (and will back up that belief with a financial committment). Today's new title is Terrayn (pronounced "terrain"), a game that promises a fully modifiable persistent world for players to manipulate. Terrayn will be divided up into four kingdoms, each of which can be customized by the playerbase. The developers promise that players can "drown villages and build up empires" if they so choose. The MMO will take place on a single server with a single population. Players can also wield the power of API to fully script events and structures on the landscape for others to discover. CodeMushroom is asking for $300,000 to create a closed beta within 18 months. We've got the introductory video for Terrayn after the break, so check it out and see if it's worthy of your investment dollars.

Pantheon brings back the fun of a corpse run Posted: 17 Feb 2014 06:30 AM PST Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, Game Mechanics, Dev Diaries, Dungeons, Crowdfunding, Subscription, Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen Is it slightly disturbing that the MMO community has integrated and accepted the phrase "corpse run" without batting an eye at this point? Corpse runs are very much on the mind of Brad McQuaid, who says that Pantheon will be bringing them back as a "consequence of death" in the game world. When a player dies in Pantheon, he or she will have the option to wait for a resurrection or to be reborn without all of that character's gear and weapons. In either event, getting back to one's corpse is of utmost importance because it will not only restore lost gear, but some of the experience lost on death as well. Oh yes, Pantheon will have XP loss on death. Other players can help out with resurrection or retrieval spells, or players may beseech their deity for help at a cost. In non-morbid news, Pantheon posted information and lore on the Sunken Sanctum, a marshland ruins that will be a formidable dungeon.

RIFT suffers from chat and mail issues through the weekend Posted: 17 Feb 2014 06:15 AM PST Filed under: Fantasy, Patches, News Items, Free-to-Play, RIFT, Subscription it looks like RIFT's patch 2.6 is bringing some unintended features to the game. Assuming you consider the complete shutdown of the game's chat to be a feature, anyhow. Up through most of yesterday, the game did not feature working chat for groups, raids, or guilds. While a fix has been pushed through early this morning to address most of the remaining issues, conquest chat is still non-functional as of this writing, and there are still "issues" with positional chat modes. Problems first emerged on Wednesday, but despite several hotfixes and updates the game has not yet been restored to full working order. Even the latest round of fixes still leave certain features disabled, although it looks like everyone logging on later today will be able to play normally for the most part. It remains to be seen when the remaining issues will be addressed.

The Stream Team: Broadway edition, February 17 - 23, 2014 Posted: 17 Feb 2014 06:00 AM PST Filed under: Polls, MMO Industry, Massively Meta, Livestream, Miscellaneous, The Stream Team I've got Broadway on the brain.

Allods Online Heart of the World update patch notes translated Posted: 17 Feb 2014 05:30 AM PST Filed under: Fantasy, Classes, Patches, Free-to-Play, Allods Online, Steampunk As a Russian-developed game, Allods Online usually gets each game update in Russia before it hits the rest of the world. Luckily for those of us who don't speak the language, fansite Allods Oracle has been translating these Russian patch notes into English so we know what to expect. The latest update to hit Russia is entitled Heart of the World and it brings a new allod, a new adventure, and the highly anticipated Engineer class to the game. The game's stat system has also been completely revamped with this patch, and a wardrobe system has been added to allow characters to change costumes at any time. Check out the complete translated notes, including side articles detailing the major changes, over at Allods Oracle.

The Daily Grind: Which MMO deserves more coverage than it gets? Posted: 17 Feb 2014 05:00 AM PST Filed under: MMO Industry, Opinion, The Daily Grind I may be biased, but I think Massively does a good job covering a diverse range of MMO and MMO-lite games. This coverage includes news posts, interviews, hands-on impressions pieces, and expert opinion from both long-time players and developers. Try as we might, though, we can't cover everything. At least, not in the amount of detail that I and probably some of you would like. With that in mind, I'm wondering which MMOs get no respect, in your opinion. Not just on Massively, but elsewhere in the games media, too! Which MMO deserves more coverage than it gets? 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!

MMO Week in Review: The Elder Scrolls Online, round two Posted: 16 Feb 2014 05:00 PM PST Filed under: Massively Meta, Week in Review, Miscellaneous At the end of every week, we round up the best and most popular news stories, exclusive features, and insightful columns published on Massively and then present them all in one convenient place. If you missed a big MMO or WoW Insider story last week, you've come to the right post. It's been another week of major Elder Scrolls Online infodumping as yet another media NDA was erased and Massively was set free to discuss PvP in addition to crafting, grouping, and the disappointing early game. Over the weekend, the NDA for stress testers was likewise lifted, finally allowing the dialogue MMO gamers have been pining for. Insufficient reading material for you? Check out ESO's dev blog on dark anchors and one fan's unofficial attempt at Oculus Rift support. Or just read on for a look at the rest of this week's top MMO stories!

EVE Evolved: Consequences and conflict Posted: 16 Feb 2014 03:00 PM PST Filed under: Sci-Fi, EVE Online, Culture, Game Mechanics, Guilds, MMO Industry, PvP, Endgame, Opinion, EVE Evolved, Sandbox, Player-Generated Content, Subscription, MMORPG I've always considered EVE Online to be the model sandbox MMO and a template that could theoretically be applied to other titles. Whether you believe it's by careful design or a happy accident, EVE has stumbled on a formula that clearly works and has helped the game stay popular for over a decade. I've written before about the many interconnected parts that make EVE's sandbox model work and how pulling out essential features such as item loss on death or adding foreign mechanics like global banking could cause the whole game to fall apart. But there's one aspect I didn't really cover in depth: consequences for negative behaviour. In his latest Some Assembly Required column, Massively's Jef Reahard argued that EVE can't be considered the quintessential sandbox MMO because it lacks consequences for bad behaviour. While I would argue that EVE is as close to the ideal model of the genre as exists at the moment, I'm forced to agree with Jef's assessment. Almost all of the major events in EVE's recent history that have hit the gaming media have been about theft or war, with tales of massive scams and alliance warfare painting New Eden in a dark and violent light. The ultimate sandbox would be equally capable of birthing incredible stories of exploration and players working together to build magnificent things, not just chaos and death in the gloomy depths of interstellar space. In this week's EVE Evolved, I look at the lack of consequence for negative actions in EVE Online, whether it causes negative behaviour, and why sandboxes need to be about more than just destruction.

Hearthstone will have an official spectator mode Posted: 16 Feb 2014 01:00 PM PST Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, Interviews, Previews, Free-to-Play, Trading Card Games, Hearthstone Blizzard confirmed that a spectator mode is coming to Hearthstone, allowing players to sit in on others' play sessions. The news comes from BlizzPro, which talked with e-Sports Manager Kim Phan about upcoming plans for the game. Phan said that Blizzard is starting to take the e-Sports potential of Hearthstone a lot more seriously these days and has a list of features that it would like to put into the game, including a spectator mode. This mode won't be in the game by launch but should be put in "shortly after." Hearthstone is currently in open beta.

Camelot Unchained Q&A talks PvP looting, physical growth, and crafting Posted: 16 Feb 2014 11:00 AM PST Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, PvP, Warhammer Online, Community Q&A, Crafting, Camelot Unchained, Subscription There's a new community Q&A up on the Camelot Unchained site dealing with a wide range of topics concerning this up-and-coming RvR MMO. The topics in it range from hooded cloaks (yes, they're in) to just what players will be able to loot from enemy corpses and structures. Perhaps one of the most interesting pieces of information is that the team is putting in a physical growth system similar to the one that was promised but never delivered to Warhammer Online. Mark Jacobs confirmed the feature: "I'm happy to say that yes, certain races (I won't commit to all of them yet) will have meaningful changes happen to them, both cosmetic and gameplay. For example, our Dvergr might have more stone covering their body and their beards will grow. Other examples could be with our HelBound's faces, Hamadryad's tails, etc." The Q&A also addressed the role and importance of crafters, emphasizing that those players will be able to generate basic materials from their land and that they'll "contribute majorly" to battles.

iRacing is the real driving simulator Posted: 16 Feb 2014 10:00 AM PST Filed under: Historical, Real-Life, Business Models, Game Mechanics, MMO Industry, Opinion, Hands-On, First Impressions, Subscription I've never been to northern California's legendary Laguna Seca road course. In meatspace, at any rate. But thanks to dozens of realistic racing game recreations, I know the track's serpentine layout and its infamous corkscrew corner like the back of my hand. I've barreled through it hundreds if not thousands of times since 1999's Gran Turismo 2, so it darn well ought to be familiar by now, right? And it was, right up until I loaded onto iRacing's version of it.
