Our Look Forward From E32009-09-14 00:00:00his parents told him not to be wasteful.
He applied that lesson to the wreckage of Exarch - an MMO that had gone to the great code database in the sky after its cancellation - and from that, a crack-group of programmers and artists created the latest free-to-play sensation Dungeon Runners.
NCSoft believes that the free-to-play model has been under utilized in the North American market.
Here, we mostly have Asian-imports, which makes sense given that continent popularized it. Free-to-play of course isn't free, it's jus...
The Age of Conan Launch Party2009-09-09 00:00:00There are a few things that will always make for a great party: an abundance of free booze, an even ratio of guys to girls, music that's just on the threshold of too loud and an enclosed space that's nearly too crowded. Battle axes and serving wenches were never on that list for me - until last week.<br />Tomorrow, Norwegian developer Funcom will go live with Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, a fantasy MMOG set in the fictional universe of Robert E. Howard's Conan. Though it's poised as the next World of Warcraft killer, it's up against the most polished MMOG ever released, held aloft by millions of subscribers worldwide and one of the largest publishers in the world. The odds of Funcom wresting the top spot from Bliz...
WoW: Gold Farming in Wrath of the Lich King2009-09-05 00:00:00It the inequitable truth that gold is much like the spice in World of Warcraft. The gold must flow for the game economy to remain healthy. WoW economy operates on a constantly inflating fiat currency known as gold which is different from many trade based economies where resources (such as phat loot) have an intrinsic value for other resources (i.e. more phat loot). Since all loot binds to a character then there is little more to drive the economy than gold.<br />Gold itself comes from non-playable characters. Every PC in WoW is a sort of for-hire hero vigilante with a fistful of letters of marque that allow them to slay every evil-doer out there. These NPCs contain copper, silver, gold, and/or items that can traded to vendors which stack up gold. Quests (repeatable or not) also offer a secondary method for gold to enter the system. This gold is then moved either back into the game into meatsinks (such as mounts, reagents, vanity items, repairs, etc.) or moved through the auction house in exchange for goods.<br /><br />See all of this amazing gold? Yeah, from farming herbs, doing dailies, and not spending any. R...

Thinking About Free or Cheap Web Hosting? Think Again! It Could Cost You More Than You Think!2009-08-18 00:00:00A host is a server which provides a home for your website on the World Wide Web. Just as your computer contains all your files, so a host contains all the files needed to run your website. Why can't you just keep all those files on your own computer? Because that would mean users would have to connect directly to your computer to see your website. Not a good idea--it wouldn't be secure and it would make your machine run like a tired snail. With a host, you can simply upload everything you need to the server and your users can then connect there to see your site. It lets the site run faster and allows it to have all the security and extras it needs. <br /><br />Selecting a host is the first important step towards building your Internet business. <br /><br />Hosting services and companies vary from totally free, shared servers to large-scale dedicated machines. You'll have to decide which is right for you and your business. To help you make that decision, study the following: <br /><br />Free Servers: <br /><br />Advantages: *No Cost *You manage the server software and network <br /><br />Disadvantages: *Search engines view free hosting services as inferior and sometimes do not include them in their index. *Some free hosting services do not allow y...
hunters like EW just as2009-06-02 00:00:00Zeromatter wrote:<br>BM hunters like EW just as mh as melee DPSers do.. SV requires great gear and still drops your DPS hard. Right now, I'm only SV bause rent upgrades dropped my hit. I had to get two hit gems just to pass 95. Still, 950 AGI in a raid. 860 from an elixir, roll, and food. Plenty of raid AP for the group I normally go with. But then, most of it goes wasted as none of the BM hunters pass me. I am not supposed to be first or sond DPS in TK as SV. *sigh* Oh, and I want to ask. Am I doing anything wrong here? Other than the shoulders, I mean.

of additional AP by AP14 =2009-06-02 00:00:00Caulating the benefit of additional AP by AP14 = dps is a very bad approh. It ignores armor,rit rate, spial abilities and a lot of other things. A better aproh is to guees determine how mh an additional point of attk power yields. A good rule of thumb seems to be 0.3dps per additional AP. A SV hunter will have somewhere between 1k and 1.3k agi when he is raiding 25manontent. His EW debuff thus gives 250-325 AP to every melee DD. Thus EW adds 75-100dps to every DD. ...
