MMORPG : Champions Online gearing up for Revelation playtestMar 09, 2010 11:00:00 AM News Item: 13736
Filed under: Super-hero, Events, in-game, Patches, Champions Online 
There was quite a stir when Champions Online first announced their new region of Vibora Bay, with a lot of negative feelings getting voiced. That was mollified when it transformed into its current form as Champions Online: Revelation, a mini-expansion free to all gamers of the game promising a new area, new enemies, and new plots to uncover. The wait is nearly over, and that means all the joy of testing out the new features before they go live, as the game has just announced a special playtest event with the development team on Thursday, March 11th.
Running from 4-7 PM PST (that's 1-4 PM EST for those on the opposite coast), the event will (understandably) be taking place on the public test server. It's a chance both to hang out with thedeveloperteam and get an idea of what the new area will play like, with the added bonus of knowing that the citizens who know the area inside and out will be right there for any questions. Keep your eyes open for the event, as Champions Online will no doubt have quite a bit to reveal during the test.Champions Online gearing up for Revelation playtest Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:00:00 EST.

MMORPG : Flash Games Summit looks at social gamingMar 09, 2010 09:00:00 AM News Item: 13730
Filed under: MMORPG industry, News items
The arena of social gaming is a hotly contested one, with two equally enthusiastic schools of thought on whether or not they even count as MMORPGs. Regardless of your opinion, social gaming is here to stay, and more and more creators are turning their attention to the games (and the profits they potentially represent.) The very nature of social gaming allows development teams to take it in either direction: a distinctly non-MMORPG direction such as Bejeweled, or the ever-growing MMORPG format.
It's a relatively new and growing market, and several creators sat down earlier today to take a look at it during the Flash Games Summit. Moderator Sana Choudray of Traffichoney led a discussion of what is needed for a successful social game, as well as where they stand now and where they will go in the future.
While the creators acknowledged that social gaming is lacking at the moment, they all agreed that it's only going to grow over the next year or two. The full discussion is wellworthy ofa read.Flash Games Summit looks at social gaming Tue, 09 Mar 2010 09:00:00 EST.
