Ex-NCsoft Employees on Tabula Rasa's Demise
2010-02-24 00:00:00
NCsoft Europe's ex-CTO Adam Martin commented on his T=Machine blog about his close-up experience as a NCsoft insider with Tabula Rasa's prolonged development, and giving an excellent analysis on the reasons that led to the eventual demise: /> />In the online games industry, if we keep quiet about the causes, the hopes, the fears, the successes, and the failures of the best part of $100million burnt on a single project, then what hope is there for us to avoid making the same mistakes again? />Unlike Scott, I actually (superficially speaking) agree with this statement as to why Tabula Rasa, Age of Conan, Pirates of the Burning Sea, and Hellgate:London failed (TR, AoC, PotBS, and HL from now now...) />"No, these games failed because their developers let it...

World of Warcraft: PvP Panel Discussion
2009-10-24 00:00:00
While much of the World of Warcraft PvP Panel was dedicated to the hows and whys of designing the game's battlegrounds, a few choice tidbits of information were revealed during the discussion that preceded the Q&A session. Once the attendees were able to ask questions, it was clear that their most pressing concern was balance -- specifically the underpowered state of their own played classes, and the overpowered classes everyone else plays (at least, that's the way playe...

Unadulterated Awesomeness
2009-09-21 00:00:00
Unadulterated Awesomeness />Last time, the Mage They Call Jayne(z) died quite a bit. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and all that. Thanks to the wondrous magic of "Rez Spells"? death was in no way permanent. Oh, video games. Where else can you die and live to complain about it? />After going up against some nifty bosses and actually not winning, Jayne(z) decided that he'd had enough of this zone for now-besides, he didn't like it ANYWAY. So THERE! He made his way to the gentle rolling plains of Nagrand, ran into Sir Hemet Nesingwary of Nesingwary's "Gank Me" Expedition, and ended up in Garadar, home of the Mag'har tribe of brown Orcs. /> />I kinda wonder what makes them "Brown." I mean, they're definitely biological kin: we see Kilrogg Deadeye's son, Grom Hellscream's son, Saurfang's son... and they're all brown, not green like their kin. Strange. Perhaps it's something in Outland? Let's just say a wizard (Medivh!) did it. /> />As one can expect, there's a boatload of quests for yours truly, with objectives all over the massive zone of Nagrand. I can tell right away that this is going to be a blast. No, really, it's actually pretty cool. But what would I be without my sarcasm? Certainly not your loveable, humble, narrator! />I've got quests up the wazoo, which is a very uncomfortable place for quests. Apparently, the Mag'har had another village far to the West, which was then invaded by the Murkblood tribe of Broken, who slaughtered most of the inhabitants. But since the Greatmother is sick and dying, Garrosh Hellscream can't get off his emo ass and go do something. So, the orcs ask if a certain awesomely nifty Mage can go help them get revenge. Unfortunately, as revenge is against my code, I have to decline. />Just kidding. You know me...
