MMO Reporter

Ben chats with Colm Larkin, Creator of Guild of Dungeoneering, about this amazing dungeon creating game for both PC and Mac. An innovative mix of card game, dungeon crawler and RPG, Guild of Dungeoneering is a novel spin on the things that made Dungeon Master such a great experience.

Chris and Harry bravely venture on with Bill and Layanor unable to record this week. This leaves plenty of time for Harry and Chris to pontificate on this week's exciting episode. From the posibility of ESO going F2P to the lack of ban hammers in destiny, your intrepid hosts guide you through the world of MMOs.

This just in: Layanor has gone missing, and the Dectectives Chris, Bill and Harry must discuss MMOs until he is found. This case is a tough one to crack, with games of interest including the usual suspects of Destiny, Elite: Dangerous and Guild Wars 2,...

It's that time of year again: The MMO Reporter Podcast Best of 2014 Episode! Take a journey through the last year of the podcast and our favourite moments from the show! Share you favourite moments in the comments bellow! Audio version:

It's that time of year again! Bill, Chris and Harry sit down to go over last year's predictions to find the ultimate winner, then continue on to give insight into the year ahead. Hold on tight, it's going to be a wild a crazy time! Audio version: Last years's predictions: Big Winners:  Chris: Wildstar Harry: Destiny, fail Hello Kitty Online Layanor: Everquest Next Big Fails:  Chris: Elder Scrolls Online Harry: Shrouds of the Avatar Layanor: Wildstar What will eat up most of our time in 2014: Chris: Wildstar Harry: Elder Scrolls Online, WildStar Layanor: LOTRO - Secret World What game(s) won’t be released in 2014? Chris: Star Citizen Harry: Leisure Suit Larry: Looking For Group. The Leisure Suit Larry MMO, Elite Dangerous, Titan Layanor: I'm Gonna Git You Sucka! Online - World of Darkness Expansion of the Year: Chris: Helm’s Deep Harry: EVE: Rubicon Layanor: Rubicon Official MMO Reporter Expansion of the Year 2013: EVE: Rubicon What will be the dominant element of MMOs in 2014: Chris: Adding world building to the game in some way. Harry: Building and creating Layanor: Cubes and Voxels Question Marks? What can’t you quite put your finger on: Chris: Crowdfunding for MMOs Harry: Star Citizen Layanor: Popularity in cartoony games that are trying to be serious What game could be announced that we haven’t heard about yet? Chris: Some sort of sports based MMO Harry: Fallout MMO Layanor: Tron Online MMO of the Year 2013: Chris: Neverwinter Harry: FFXIV Layanor: FFXIV MMO Reporter’s official MMO of the Year 2013: FFXIV ========================================================== This year's predictions Big Winners: Chris - Star Citizen, Trove Bill - Landmark Harry - Elite Dangerous Big Fails: Chris - Lots of smaller games that have potential to fill this category, but no one game stands out as waiting to fail. Bill - Civilization Online jumps out at me. Harry - Star Citizen Listener Predictions: @dibstaru - @mmo_reporter there will be angst, predictions, trolling, shutdowns, layoffs, patches. But still no sandbox as good as SWG. @balterex - @mmo_reporter think wow has a heavy drop off. Others gain. Cycle repeats over and over. @mmo_reporter oh yeah. No man's sky happens and is awesome @Anhrez - #wildstar sees small resurgence #CamelotUnchained sees some buzz #WoW keeps above 9mill, eSports continues mainstream climb @mmo_reporter What will eat up most of our time in 2015: Chris - WoW and Elite: Dangerous Bill - Guild Wars 2. Harry - Elite Dangerous, Kerbal Space Program, EVE, Planetside 2 What game(s) won’t be released in 2015? Chris - Everquest Next Bill - Camelot Unleashed Harry - Warhammer 40k Expansion of the Year 2014 : Chris - Warlords of Draenor Bill - Warlords of Draenor AINEC Harry - Warlords of Draenor Official MMO Reporter Expansion of the Year 2014: Warlord of Draenor What will be the dominant element of MMOs in 2015 Chris - MMO-ish elements in non MMO Games (Destiny ish) Bill - This might be a bit late, but I think the “indie” MMO may be on the rise. There are games being made in garages this year that will surprise (not including Star Citizen in this, but maybe no man’s sky?) Harry - Science Fiction instead of Fantasy, procedurally generated content Question Marks? What can’t you quite put your finger on: Chris - Why no AAA “traditional MMO” titles announced other than Everquest Next/Landmark? Bill - Black Desert? Looks pretty, but seems like a re-hash of a dozen other games like it over the last few year. High-ish on the hype meter as far as 2015 releases go. Harry - Landmark MMO of the Year 2014: Chris - Elite: Dangerous - Best launch of the year, stable game and ecosystem. Steve - My game of the year is Final Fantasy 14. I love Chokobos Bill - Hearthstone :). Or maybe Wildstar… but that’s more by default than anything else. What should have been a good year for MMO’s felt weak.
