World of Darkness is CCP's bid for the MMO mainstream. CCP Games, the Reykjavik, Iceland-headquartered developer of the space-faring MMO EVE Online, has rooted its success in a clear game design goal: to provide full sandbox gameplay designed to empower players to create emergent situations.

Now the company will use that design principle with its upcoming World of Darkness MMO. In development in its Atlanta, GA studio, and based on the White Wolf tabletop role playing IP of the same name, the game is headed up by creative director Reynir Hardarson (pictured). While MMOs typically promise players virtually limitless possibilities to explore and interact, there's a streak of linearity and hand-holding that is prevalent in MMO design. Hardarson suggests a few theories about why other developers don't follow in EVE's footsteps in providing more opportunities for emergent gameplay.

Age of Conan. Rift. World of Midgard MMORPG to come to Android soon. Made with Unity3D. Details Published on Tuesday, 08 March 2011 13:44 Written by {ga=andrew-huff-aka-extremet} In case you don't have enough MMORPGs to play, not that there is a whole lot of them available for Android, there is another one making the journey to Android soon.

World of Midgard is an MMORPG developed using the Unity3D game engine (that is becoming a common phrase these days) and features some pretty impressive content and graphics. Being based on Unity3D means that this game stands a very good chance of being available to many Android devices, not just ones with Tegra 2 chips inside them.

I’m just about to officially release my new MMO Star Corsairs and the closer I get to this day the more anxious I become. Will people like it? Will they even know about it? I went through this before but back then I had a safe day job paying the bills. So what’s a good way to fight this anxiety? Tell us a bit about yourself.

Features - Ambitious Plans: The Marriage of EVE and Dust. CCP is trying something ambitious -- but that doesn't seem to be making quite the waves it ought to.

It is linking its successful MMO, EVE Online, directly and fundamentally into its next game, Dust 514, a console shooter. Players in EVE and Dust will interact directly. If you play the sci-fi shooter, which will launch on the PlayStation Network as a downloadable game, you will be able to accept mercenary jobs from EVE players, or even join EVE's player-driven corporations. The economies of the games are unified, and the battles fought in Dust will have consequences for the players of EVE who run the corporations that sponsor them. Features - The F-Words Of MMOs: Free-To-Play. Features - The F-Words of MMORPGs: Fairness. [In this, the first part of a three-part series, MMO economy expert Simon Ludgate examines the concept of fairness -- how the economy of a game, and the way items function, can keep the player base convinced that the game is fair, and thus, satisfying to play -- and how some games have either maintained or destroyed this delicate and abstract concept through their designs.]

Late last year, I wrote an article about Virtual Economic Theory. It was fairly broad, covering a number of basics and a few specific case studies. This series of articles go beyond the basics and examine major current issues in MMORPG economies, with the help of some of the people who brought those systems into existence. If you haven't read the original article, give it a skim over; I'll try not to duplicate much of that material in the pages that follow. E3 2011: Nival announces Facebook-integrated MMO Prime World.

Nival may be a new player in the MMOsphere, but Prime World, its first big push into the fray, is looking to turn a few heads.

Developed in the Unity 3D engine and promising an intense PvP experience inspired by Defense of the Ancients, Prime World hopes to break from other, similar games by integrating itself into Facebook. While elements of the social game can be played in a web browser, the PvP combat will require a downloadable client. Players will be able to construct castles and enjoy other social gaming features, and these elements will bleed into the PvP portions of the game and vice-versa. Well-designed castles will provide "meaningful benefits" to the PvP action scenes, and social networks can be exploited, helping players gain strategic advantages. Likewise, the spoils gained from successful PvP victories and other minigames can be used to customize your castle or be gifted to friends.

Myst Online goes open source (again) Features - The Design of Free-To-Play Games: Part 1. When we talk about free-to-play games, we are not talking of a new genre, but instead of a deep revolution that is affecting most aspects and actors of the game industry: marketing, publishing, hardware manufacturers, and of course, designers and developers.

Free-to-play (F2P) is here to stay. That is good news; it is expanding the number of people who play games, it is stimulating the industry after a slow-down, and it gives us the opportunity to create new gaming experiences for players. A free-to-play game does not require its full content to be created before its release, as most content is created gradually after the game launch. Thus Nexon estimates that a free-to-play can be released with only 50 percent of its final content, and for Playfish, the percentage is as low as 20 percent! There are other reasons which explain the low initial investment: the technologies used are often simple and inexpensive. But enough of an overview: let's talk key design issues. Combat Arms.
