| Nexon takes Mabinogi offline indefinitely due to 'malicious activity' Posted: 01 Jan 2012 09:00 AM PST Filed under: Fantasy, Business models, MMO industry, New titles, Free-to-play, Mabinogi, Sandbox  Mabinogi went dark yesterday, and Nexon says that it does "not have a specific time for the service to re-open." This is the second time in the past three months that Nexon has disabled the game, as the company dealt with a rash of unauthorized RMT issues and botting as recently as October of 2011. As per usual when MMO security issues crop up, the company has not released any details, saying only that "we feel that we have no choice but to take the game down in order to prevent any further malicious action." [Thanks to David for the tip!]

| The Daily Grind: Want to make an inaccurate prediction? Posted: 01 Jan 2012 05:00 AM PST Filed under: Culture, Opinion, The Daily Grind, Humor, Miscellaneous  Well, not today. Today, we want you to dust off those theories about the next year that have a 1% chance of happening at best. If you're wrong, hey, odds are low. But if you're right about your guess that World of Warcraft will go free-to-play or that Guild Wars 2 will announce a subscription fee of $30 per month, you said it here first, right? So go nuts with your crazy predictions in the comments!  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 Tattered Notebook: An insider's guide to the Beastlord Posted: 31 Dec 2011 05:00 PM PST Filed under: Fantasy, EverQuest II, Classes, Game mechanics, Interviews, Free-to-play, The Tattered Notebook, Guides  I tracked down a good friend and guildie, Nauralea, who has already reached the level cap with her Beastlord and has also finished her class epic and done a little raiding. If you're curious about how the class works or whether it's still fun to play at the higher levels, read on for a great look at the nuts and bolts of the class and even some helpful tips for leveling up one of your own!

| The Mog Log: The 2012 forecast Posted: 31 Dec 2011 03:00 PM PST Filed under: Fantasy, Final Fantasy XI, Expansions, MMO industry, Previews, Opinion, Consoles, Final Fantasy XIV, The Mog Log  That having been said, whether proving that I'm not afraid of failure or that I don't know when to quit, I'm coming back for another round of predictions for this coming year. But there's one major variable in the equation that's horrible to try and account for, and that's Final Fantasy XI. I can easily see the game going one of two ways, and while I think one's a bit more likely, there seem to be more divergent futures for it than for Final Fantasy XIV.
