2024/07/20

Good things come in twos at TennoCon 2024. Even the year itself is beautifully divisible by twos. But the best of the twos isn’t the two days of the con or even the highlight of two frame games; it’s Digital Extremes’ dedication to supporting local causes each year multiplying. One of the things I love […]

2024/07/20

As I was making some personal plans for my future adventures on Lord of the Rings Online’s new legendary servers, I was really struck by just how large and expansive the early game is. When Mordor and Angmar release, players will most likely be limited to Eriador for the first several months for journeys and […]

2024/07/20

While I do love how MMORPGs encourage my imagination, sometimes I find that thinking and analyzing a title too much can lead to unanswerable questions that break immersion a bit. I can’t help but be incredulous that people in these worlds could build impossibly big and tall structures without modern construction methods (“A wizard did […]

It’s been a while since we’ve peeked in on Ravendawn, the Tibia-inspired MMORPG that launched in January, which our Fight or Kite columnist Sam found to feature an inventive class system while still needing polish.

Usually the words “bullet” and “heaven” are incongruent, unless you’re piloting a mecha named Bullet Heaven or are leading a throwback hair metal band called Heaven ‘n Bullets.
