| WildStar: Raids - Big is a Theme Posted: 10 Mar 2014 06:59 PM PDT Raiding in WildStar is all-out, taking the game's splashy look and large scale into consideration all the way. Big is a theme for the game, and those who love to raid and constantly improving their gear will find much to dive into when the game launches. We were treated to a presentation about the game's raids, which will fall into both the 20-man and 40-man varieties.   |
| WildStar: Warplots - You Got Your Raids in My PvP Posted: 10 Mar 2014 07:09 PM PDT Warplots are WildStar's late-game PvP centerpiece. They are highly customizable 40 vs. 40 battles taking place in massive settings. Each faction gets its own side to deck out with a system similar to the way housing works in the game. Build, set into place, add some guards, lay some traps, throw in a raid boss, and a superweapon, and let the other side in for the goal of mass amounts of enemy slaughter. It won't be easy since the other side also has it out for you too.   |
| WildStar: PvP - Gear, ELO, & The Thrill of Competition Posted: 10 Mar 2014 07:23 PM PDT WildStar's PvP is just like the rest of the game - it's fast, it's furious, and it's on a grand scale. For those looking forward to the action combat, the use of constant movement, and the telegraph system to add strategy, there are many ways to satisfy your urge to take down some dirty Dominion or Exile scum, depending upon your own loyalties.   |

| Elder Scrolls Online: A Responsive Road Towards Launch Posted: 09 Mar 2014 06:26 PM PDT With the Elder Scrolls Online launch less than a month away now, there's no doubt the Zenimax team is burning the midnight oil on getting the game out the door and fully polished. Yet, with several key items of beta feedback from the testers emerging over the past few weeks, the team is still focusing on addressing these pre-launch. That responsiveness is reassuring, and it's bringing us back to some of the greater purpose of beta testing.   |

| General: Can So Many F2P Gamers Really Be Wrong? Posted: 09 Mar 2014 06:18 PM PDT If there's a truly accurate figure available for the total number of people who currently play F2P MMOGs, I'd love to know what it is. That said, it seems pretty safe to think it's in the tens of millions. Indeed, even higher isn't out of the question. So, whenever I see yet another statement to the effect that (almost) every offering in the entire category is bad, I can't help but ask whether their players agree. Invariably, my answer is that they don't.   |
