Ex-NCsoft Employees on Tabula Rasa's Demise2010-02-24 00:00:00NCs
oft Europe's ex-CTO Adam Martin commented on his T=Machine blog about his close-up experience as a NCs
oft 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 ...

World of Warcraft: PvP Panel Discussion2009-10-24 00:00:00While 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 players

Unadulterated Awesomeness2009-09-21 00:00:00wondrous 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 better than that, people! I'm all over that revenge thing.
In a pleasant discovery, each Broken killed awards me wit...
