MMO Roundup: Last week on Massively

August 12th, 2009 by admin

Sometimes you’d like to know that there are other MMOs out there, right? Our sister site Massively can provide you with everything you need to know about all those other shiny MMOs! Check out this roundup of the latest news from the wider MMO world.

	Final Fantasy XIV’s first jobs and race names revealed New information is dropping rapidly on this game. Now, Final Fantasy XIV’s race names and first classes have been revealed. Hmm, maybe those rumors of an earlier than expected beta carried more weight to them than we thought.
	Former Warhammer Online GM gives perspective on game’s decline At Massively we must often report on declining subscription numbers and subsequent layoffs in the MMO industry, just as we do when the games we love are healthy and growing. When you look beyond the numbers though, such industry statistics are ultimately about people whose lives have been negatively impacted. They face uncertainty in their career and likely have tough times ahead.
	The Daze of Darkfall epilogue: The Siege of Andruk So I thought I was done with my whole “month long investigation of Darkfall.” Best way to end out the series was to include some PvP being lead by Wardragon Drow (gasp, a last name, and I’ll get to that in a second) and then close it off there. Well, sadly, Darkfall had one more surprise left for me. Or, should I say, the Blackrock Clan had one more surprise for me. A siege.
	Choose my Adventure: Lord of the Rings Online With our Guild Wars adventures behind us, it’s now time to branch out into our next game for the Choose my Adventure series. According to your votes accumulated this week, Lord of the Rings Online will be my next game to explore, with a little help from you, the readers. You also voted to keep the format the same, so I’m happy to hear that it’s been working well so far.
