There have been cheaters and hackers that have plagued online gaming ever since the first mmorpg was nothing but text characters. Now cheaters are more elaborate in how they perpetuate their shenanigans, but the result is that every single online game will see its share of cheaters and those that break the rules. EverQuest 2 has decided to come down hard on such folks, and they're shipping them off to the virtual equivalent of Australia in the form of a special prison server. Response to this has been mixed, but the question remains: should other mmos emulate the EverQuest 2 prison server?
Earlier this month, Everquest 2 announced a new loot box system that bypassed lockouts and provided the chance to buy more opportunities at raid gear through the cash shop.
Beta testing for the Visions of Vetrovia expansion of Darkpaw Games’ MMO EverQuest 2 is under way and now available to those who purchase one of the four available editions.
In a press release, EG7 Global announced to have entered into an agreement to acquire 100% shares of Daybreak Game Company for $300 million.
Planetside with platoons - so neat. Wish that would have had half the momentum that Fortnite has had
DC Universe? Is this the same company that left Sony, not PlayStation? If so, maybe PlayStation should have snatched them uo and fully integrate them into the fold.
Yes, I dont think they ever had anything to do with PlayStation. For some reason my mind is saying under Sony Music umbrella.
Sony sold them off years ago, it doesn't make sense to buy them again
I thought they wanted a break from Sony to reach a bigger audience, not that Sony sold them. Well in any case I hope them future success.
Also, I know its the same company but I did try to differentiate between the two, Sony and PlayStation. Whereas Sony outside of PlayStation was not a good fit for whatever reason, I'll look it up later, PlayStation would be a better fit because is their gaming division which I believe runs somewhat separate from Sony, or what I've been led to believe some time ago.
Finally, sometimes we do things not truly seeing the depths of our actions, and may end up regretting the decision. Have you ever sold a game, only to rebuy it later.
They were under SCE Sony Computer Entertainment, same umbrella that housed PlayStation. They were separate businesses.
I believe Sony has almost always had gaming businesses outside of PlayStation. If I'm remembering right, they currently have a separate publisher focused on small indie games. Can't remember what it's called though.
Yeah that sucked. Was a lot of potential there. I don't normally like MMOs but I was really intrigued by Next and Landmark.
I was a Trailblazer in Landmark and it was so fun building things. The tools and possibilities is not something I’ve seen in a game since...
And I was so ready for a new EverQuest mmo... Makes me sad just writing this :(
Hope this means they’ll get the resources to keep improving. The DCUO broker economy has been broken for over a year. Can no longer share my millions between toons, meanwhile everything is overpriced. Worked hard trading legit. Bummer.
