This week, Harry talks about MMO Terrorism, Harry and Chris's ghost talk about the Wildstar beta, and Layanor replaces his favorite game of all time, with something new. Listen now: What we did in game   Layanor - The Daddy Mac THE WALKING DEAD GAME! OMG!!! LOTRO   Harry - Shiver Me Timbers EVE Dust 514 Wild Star Bravely Default AC:Black Flag Super Mario 3D World   World of Warcraft Terrorists! http://www.gamespot.com/articles/government-infiltrates-xbox-live-and-world-of-warcraft-in-search-of-terrorists/1100-6416610/ United States and British government agents have been monitoring fantasy games like World of Warcraft and Second Life, as well as the Xbox Live platform since 2008. Based on a fear that World of Warcraft, Second Life, and Xbox Live could be used by enemies to communicate, move money, or clandestinely plot attacks, United States (NSA) and British (GCHQ) government agents created characters and accounts to snoop on its users and gain information where possible. The NSA paper said extracting communications data from World of Warcraft, Second Life, and Xbox Live would be necessary because users are able to communicate anonymously. Through the information collecting efforts, it was discovered that some World of Warcraft subscribers were in fact "telecom engineers, embassy drivers, scientists, the military, and other intelligence agencies," the documents show. Blizzards response was "We are unaware of any surveillance taking place. If it was, it would have been done without our knowledge or permission," the representative said. Microsoft has stated "We're not aware of any surveillance activity. If it has occurred as reported, it certainly wasn't done with our consent," A Microsoft spokesperson said. Second Life has not made a response yet.  Major Pathfinder Update https://goblinworks.com/blog/index.html#20131206 Goblinworks blogs have been rather busy lately. They have been reworking game mechanics, most recently the enchanting system and magic. A new gameplay video was released And in a recent blog, one of the devs explains that game game is halfway done. “Hard to believe it has been a full year already. But when I fire up the game client and look at the work in progress, I'm also blown away by how far we've come in such a short time. We're a little bit past the halfway point of development before Early Enrollment and we are now starting to really dig in on implementing the first, skeletal game systems that will be the foundation of the Crowdforging to come.” Gameplay Video: http://vimeo.com/78768519# Gloria Victis has a new site http://gloriavictisgame.com/application/game/index Gloria Victis FREE MMORPG that values realism in terms of game mechanics. The game is set in a parallel universe of X - XV century Europe and Middle-East with the corresponding nations. The developers are striving to make the game very medieval and have hardly any fantasy involved. Combat is targetless so you will need to swing your sword at the correct times to block and parry. Equipment will be based on real equipment of the time period. Weather will be very big element in the game. Get it? el oh el. Adventures will have to plan around night or day adventures, and will also have to take the season into account before adventuring. If you're interested in donating to the game, you can sign up and donate 10$ bucks to join the alpha of the game.

The game was to be a blend of MMO and RTS gameplay to create a "Multiplayer Online Action RTS" or MMORTS key elements of the gameplay design include a single player 'story mode' as in the earlier RTS “Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders”, and a separate online multiplayer element where players would be able to undertake battles, both castle sieges, and pitched battles in fields. The MMO aspect of the game was to take place in a persistent world, with players able to form and join guilds and take part in territorial battles (in up to 15 vs 15 player matches) The game was pushed back year after year with financial problems and issues around Xbox Live payment models that they didn't want to agree with. The game is now finally coming out in Korea for PC by the end of the year and will be coming out for the PS4. A USA and Europe release should not be far behind.   Website: http://www.kufii.

Players were upset and wanted to keep the role play server up. However it was merged anyway. Once all the servers were merged, Trion opened up a new server to help out with lag stress and to stabilize the cluster. If the server merge was to help out community find more players to game with, then why open a new server the same day?   MMO Flashback: Age of Conan - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6xzqySsMLA The game was released on May 20, 2008 in Northern America, and May 23, 2008 for Europe.   In June of 2011, Funcom released the free to play model.

Assassins Creed 3   Dungeons & Dragons Online players go into protest http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/10/20/dungeons-and-dragons-online-players-protest-true-heart-changes/ DDO has a feature that lets you resurrect your character in order to gain more bonuses as you level the character up again. Turbine is introducing new versions of this feature and are phasing out the original feature entirely. They are also making this feature much harder by removing the primary way you acquire the key item. “True Heart of Wood” You will have to grind for it much longer and because it is character bound, you will have to grind it for each character separately. Players are currently sitting on a bridge online in protest.   DC Online to get a huge update https://www.dcuniverseonline.com/news/archive/game-update-31-producer-letter-2013-october-21-dc-universe-online Update 31 is going to be a major update to the game as they get ready for the Playstation 4 to come out. the level of detail on textures will be increased throughout the game on PC and PlayStation®4 will be numerous design improvements, polish, and a remastering of the core leveling game.

The source explained the game is indeed “fully localized” in English and all is set for, an “immediate western release.”  But that localization may instead be used for a smooth rollout of PSO2 across Asia, and in particular English speaking Asian regions. The source also did not outright state to us that PSO2 is canceled for the West–only that the above explanations are clearly a factor.

Hacker reveals League of Legends collectible card game http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/10/14/hacker-reveals-league-of-legends-collectible-card-game/ A hacker took over Riot Games president Marc Merrill's Twitter account. The intruder used the opportunity to leak information about League of Legends: Supremacy, a collectible card game built from the League of Legends universe. In a series of tweets from Merrill's account, the hacker posted images and files related to the project including card art and the main sign-in page for the game. According to the hacker Supremacy was fully completed but never announced. Riot did trademark the Supremacy name last year.

The first set of Scenarios will let the players fight to keep a group of civilians alive while waves of monsters swarm them. There are a series of random events that have a chance of occurring and making it such that players won't have the same experience every time. These random events can range from sandstorms to incursions by enemy (or friendly) factions. Augments allow players to harmonize their abilities to greater effect. This creates another huge amount of customization for players in the end game and another deep layer to The Secret World's progression system.   MMO Flashback: Phantasy Star Online http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyEnJCgTZds The PSO series began with the release of Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast in 2000, and was followed in 2001 by Phantasy Star Online ver. 2, also initially released for the Dreamcast and later ported to Microsoft Windows.
