Three New MMOs Challenge World of Warcraft

June 6th, 2008 by valentine

“Three new massively multiplayer online games are throwing down the gauntlet in 2008. These titles, more than any other game since World of Warcraft’s 2004 release, stand an excellent chance of dethroning Blizzard Entertainment’s mighty MMO as the king of an extremely lucrative market. All three of the new games — Age of Conan, Pirates of the Burning Sea and Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning — have their strengths. But each brings something fresh to the rapidly growing MMO genre, which has attracted millions of gamers, according to unofficial estimates, and now includes everything from Tabula Rasa’s sci-fi escapism to the Webkinz virtual world for children. Here’s a sneak peek at what the new games offer: Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Screenshot: Courtesy of FuncomAge of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Release date: March 25 Set in the world of Robert E. Howard’s Cimmerian novels (the universe of 1982’s Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, Conan the Barbarian), Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures brings with it almost 80 years of fiction for developer Funcom to draw upon for its backstory. In order to appease the built-in fan base that this wealth of lore has developed, Funcom is focusing heavily on the title’s combat system. While previous MMOs allowed players to click a few buttons and watch actions unfold, Age of Conan employs a “”real combat”" system that allows players to not only control the direction of their attacks, but also focus on various body parts in real time. As a result, the game will not only stick close to its source material’s penchant for almost cartoonish ultraviolence, it also bucks the something-for-everyone trend started by World of Warcraft. By foregoing the family-friendly angle, Funcom is risking the loss of a large section of the player base, but the general feeling among longtime online gamers — particularly the player-versus-player demographic — is that Age of Conan is poised to be the Halo of the massively multiplayer genre.


In a period when these games are just gaining mass market appeal, this title brings something for the adults to enjoy in an adult setting. Pirates of the Burning Sea Screenshot: Courtesy of Flying Lab SoftwarePirates of the Burning Sea Release date: Jan. 22 If the success of Johnny Depp’s turn for the scurrilous in the Pirates of the Caribbean film trilogy has proven anything, it’s that people are enamored with adventure on the high seas. Not content to simply give gamers a ship and a parrot, Flying Lab Software has created a fully realized world in which players can live the adventure as they see fit. If you’d prefer the quiet life of a shipbuilder to raiding galleys, that option is available. And of course, there is always the draw of helming a gigantic ship of the line. wow gold Despite its numerous character options, each player in World of Warcraft lives essentially the same life. Pirates of the Burning Sea’s greatest strength is that it allows for radically different play styles, each contributing in some way to a faction’s success in the game’s vaguely fictionalized 1720s-era Caribbean setting. Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Screenshot: Mythic EntertainmentWarhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Release date: Quarter 2 ” “Auctioneer NPCs can be found in in Orgrimmar, Undercity, and Thunder Bluff for Horde player-created auctions and are a part of the same Auction House. wow gold Alliance players will find Auction Houses in Ironforge, Stormwind City, and Darnassus. These Auction Houses are linked together for each faction.

Some non-faction based Auction Houses are located in Tanaris, Everlook, and Booty Bay. These Auctioneer NPCs have the same functionality as the aforementioned faction based Auction Houses, with the additional capability of allowing trade between Horde and Alliance characters.

Rogue Leveling Tips

June 6th, 2008 by valentine

Our leading authority on sexy elves cornered him recently and demanded details of our imminent journey into Northrend - and Jeff’s promises were exciting to say the least… On Geography… Jeff Kaplan: When people heard the expansion was going to be set in Northrend, they freaked out, saying ‘No, I can’t go to a continent that’s all snow!’ Just visually alone, we’ve made sure that all the zones are not full of ice.

For example, the Howling Fjord is completely green, and it’s modelled after the Redwood Forest on the Pacific north-west. There’s another zone called the Borean Tundra that has typical autumn colours, and we’re really going out of our way to make sure the zones are visually distinct. mp3 player Another cool part of Northrend is the big PvP zone. It’s about the size of Westfall, and will be all-PvP - in no way, shape or form will we support PvE players in it. It’ll be optional, but it’ll be completely non-instanced, have multiple objectives, siege weapons, and destructible buildings. On Grand Entrances… Kaplan: We absolutely need to make the entry to Northrend epic. wow gold I mean, we originally had the entry to Burning Crusade’s Dark Portal as a bunch of cohorts walking around, and people reacted badly. This really hammered home the fact that we needed to raise expectations on entering the expansions. With the four points of entry (two for each side) we’ve gone out of our way to make them cool.

World of Warcraft Sucks You Back in with Patch

June 6th, 2008 by valentine

“So by now most gamers (and actually most of the world) are acquainted with World of Warcraft and the subsequent expansion Burning Crusade. The game has about 9 million subscribers if Blizzard’s ads are to be believed. That’s the entire population of North Carolina. Back in November 2007, Blizzard released patch 2.3 for the game, completely changing it. The biggest adjustment that this patch brought was that it made it easier to advance from levels 20 to 60. Now to those few who have never experienced the game for one reason or another, leveling would take a person months of play and that’s if the person spent hours in the game on a daily basis. I quit the game a year ago because of this tedious task. Like most of the people who play now, I was sinking time into the game and it felt like work. With this new patch, I found myself making a new character and starting up again. And here I am, back in the saddle. I really think that Blizzard is an evil company, why else release a patch that makes the game attractive again just in time for people’s holiday break. I’m sure that many people found themselves sucked into their old addiction with the release of this patch. Especially because they not only had the time but the incentive to play. It is quite clear what Blizzard wants to do. They want to make the game more accessible before the release of their second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. It’s a smart move. No one would want to spend time trying to level another character to level 70, the current level cap, just to get the new expansion and realize that they have to go through another 10 levels. Some of my fellow players, especially those who have been playing the game religiously since 2004, hate the fact that it is now easier to level.


In a way I can sympathize, they have people jumping into the game progressing at a rate they only dreamed of a year ago. But at the same time I say suck it up. All the complaining and whining (and calling people noobs) isn’t going to turn back time. Blizzard cares about money, and that’s pretty much it. An easier game equals more players which in turn equals more money pouring into Blizzard’s coffers. I, for one, enjoy it because I don’t have to spend the better part of my day trying to get to level 61 before the sleep deprivation gets to me. wow gold And in a way this is good news for you hardcore WOW players, it means that the next expansion is right around the corner, although knowing Blizzard they’ll be dangling that carrot for a while ” “Is your raiding guild falling behind and constantly getting wiped.

Fishing Guide in The Burning Crusade

June 6th, 2008 by valentine

“This topic previews fishing-related changes in the expansion, The Burning Crusade. This page is written ‘Out Of Character’. It is a work in progress. On this page: Introduction Master Fishing Draenei and Red Snappah Blood Elf Fish-based Food that Gives Buffs Base Fishing Skill Fishing Equipment Outland Open-Water Fishing Outland Pool Fishing Pool Fishing Efficiency Further Reading “”Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.”" - Henry David Thoreau Introduction When Blizzard started revealing details of the expansion, they promised some fresh fish: “”We’re still evaluating some ideas for fishing that we’re not ready to share yet, but I can tell you that there will definitely be new high-level fish for our anglers to catch in the expansion.”" - Frank Pearce, Executive Producer, July 2006. And not much more has been known until now. The information on this page is taken from the beta version of The Burning Crusade. It will probably contain spoilers. Most of this information is first-hand - collect by myself. I will continue to update it as more discoveries are made. Master Fishing The Burning Crusade raises the maximum possible fishing skill to 375. Master rank is trained using the book “”Master Fishing - The Art of Angling”". This is sold by Juno Duffrain, who can be found by the Umbrafen Lake in Cenarion Refuge, Zangarmarsh. The same vendor sells both to alliance and horde. The location is relatively easy to reach for someone at level 60 - just head west from the Hellfire Peninsular. The book costs 5 gold and can be resold. The book requires level 45 and fishing skill 275 to read. wow gold I assume this means characters not able to use the Dark Portal to visit Outland will still be able to achieve 375 fishing skill. Each skill increase takes at least 10 catches - the increases are still somewhat random, with a range from 10 to 13.


The average number of catches per point of skill gained was: Skill 300-350: 10.5 catches per skill point. Skill 350-375: 11.5 catches per skill point. wow gold Increasing skill from 300 to 375 takes just over 800 successful catches. There is no need to fish in Outland - skill can be gained in Azeroth too. Draenei and Red Snappah Azuremyst Isle and Bloodmyst Isle, the two new Draenei zones, contain the same fish as other level 1-10 and 10-20 zones. Only Raw Slitherskin Mackerel can be caught from the coast of Azuremyst Isle. buy wow gold The coast of Bloodmyst Isle contains Raw Rainbow Fin Albacore, Raw Slitherskin Mackerel and Oily Blackmouth. Named inland areas of Azuremyst Isle (such as Silverline Lake) have Raw Brilliant Smallfish and Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper. There is a quirk in other inland areas - they contain the zone’s coastal fish. Schools of Red Snapper can be found close to the Draenai starting area, near Ammen Ford. wow gold These pools cannot be fished conventionally with a fishing pool. They can only be fished as part of the quest, “”Red Snapper - Very Tasty!”" from Diktynna, in Azuremyst Isle. The quest involves swimming close to schools and using the Draenei Fishing Net (provided) to catch ten Red Snapper. mp3 players Some schools spawn an Angry Murloc. The reward for the quest is a basic Fishing Pole and a Shiny Bauble. Red Snappers featured in the movie Red Snappah! - a parody of the Ahn’Qiraj war effort in which stacks of fished Red Snappers were continually requested. The movie was an entry for the Xfire Machinima competition. wow gold Minako Aino tells me the quest is instead (or perhaps also) a reference to ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic’s 1989 film, UHF, which features a game called “”Wheel of Fish”".

Honorable Kills

June 6th, 2008 by valentine

“You receive Honorable Kills for defeating enemy players in battle, provided they are within an acceptable level range of your character’s level. Each Honorable Kill will net you a reward of Honor Points. The amount of Honor you receive scales similarly to receiving experience from a monster. There are several factors influencing the Honor value of such a kill: Your victim’s level: To receive honor, you must not significantly outlevel your opponent. The name of your opponent will display in colored text showing their level relative to yours, with the same grey to red scheme that applies to monsters. Killing a “”grey”" player gives no Honor, while a “”red”" player is substantially higher level that yours. To receive honor you should focus on players around your own level (green, yellow, and orange). Your own level: The higher level you are, the more honor you receive for honorable kills of same-level opponents. A level 70 character killing another level 70 character gains more Honor than a level 40 character killing another level 40 character. Subsequent kills: Killing the same character multiple times within 24 hours is subject to diminishing honor returns. Each subsequent kill after the initial kill yields 10% less honor, until the reward eventually reaches zero. Note that the Honor calculations that appear in-game do not take these diminishing returns into account. Solo or group: Members of a group or raid will share Honor gains from kills in the same way as XP. However, the raid penalty on XP does not apply to Honor. Lower level members will get a smaller portion of the Honor. The diminishing returns for honor kills on the same enemy still apply while in a group or raid. In addition, group members who are too far away from the site of the kill will not receive a cut of the honor, much like the similar rule for earning XP.


Contribution: You must contribute to the honorable kill to receive honor. Contribution includes damaging the enemy, but also includes crowd control, and healing those in battle with that enemy. Being present: You need to be alive and in the proximity of the kill at the time of the kill to get your share of the Honor. Racial Leaders Killing one of the powerful NPCs considered leaders of their race nets a high amount of honor. These racial leaders are all on a two hour spawn timer, and the bonus for their defeat is divided between participating solo characters, groups, and raids based on contribution. The racial leaders are: Thrall Cairne Bloodhoof Lady Sylvanas Windrunner Lor’themar Theron Highlord Bolvar Fordragon King Magni Bronzebeard Archdruid Fandral Staghelm Prophet Velen Achieving Battlegrounds Objectives Each battleground has special objectives which will grant bonus Honor for their completion. Every member of the faction that completes an objective will gain this bonus Honor. wow gold For every battleground, the objective that grants the most bonus Honor is simply winning the match. Other objectives will center around the features of the individual battlegrounds themselves. For example, in Warsong Gulch, capturing the enemy flag will grant bonus honor to the capturing side. wow gold Completing bonus objectives is a significant source of Honor, and completing them will provide faster Honor gain than simply killing enemy players in a battleground. ” “The Honor System rewards players for participating in player vs. player combat. world of warcraft gold By defeating other players and achieving PvP objectives, players earn Honor Points which they can use to purchase a wide array of rewards. There are four sources of Honor: Honorable Kills Killing racial leaders Achieving Battlegrounds objectives Achieving World PvP objectives Honorable Kills You receive Honorable Kills for defeating enemy players in battle, provided they are within an acceptable level range of your character’s level.

Each Honorable Kill will net you a reward of Honor Points. wow gold The amount of Honor you receive scales similarly to receiving experience from a monster. There are several factors influencing the Honor value of such a kill: Your victim’s level: To receive honor, you must not significantly outlevel your opponent.

To receive honor you should focus on players around your own level (green, yellow, and orange). Your own level: The higher level you are, the more honor you receive for honorable kills of same-level opponents. wow gold A level 70 character killing another level 70 character gains more Honor than a level 40 character killing another level 40 character.
