News, views and experiences from the world of MMO’s
Personally, i’ve been looking forward to this for ages, but at long last LEGO UNIVERSE BETA IS STARTING SOON!
Click here to head to the beta sign up page.
Looking likely to be a blockier version of Second Life with much less filth and more JOYOUS HAPPY BLOCKS OF WIN!
Sorry, just loved Lego as a kid.
Over at MMOsite they are running voting for their reader’s choice MMO awards for 2009. We have our own voting page for you to head over and cast you vote, there are various prizes that can be won for casting you vote including WoW game time, vouchers and a mystery big prize.
As MMOsite is a site mostly about free mmo’s it’s not suprising that the votes so far are going the way of various free to play titles, though there are voting options for all the popular pay to play MMO titles.
Head over to the MMO-Symposium Custom Voting Page and cast your vote.
I just received an email from Sony regarding Everquest 2 Battlegrounds. There are 3 PvP maps with either 6 or 24 players on each side. The type of matches announced are Capture the Flag, Tower capture and hold, as well as having to find and hold onto a relic of some kind.
Apparently we wanted it so we’ve got it, according to SOE.
.. back to EQ2 it seems.
Been playing a good few hours of the beta, and I’ve already cancelled my pre order.
As you probably already know the Open Beta for Star Trek Online began yesterday.
I am currently trying to find a decent download for the beta client, but to no avail. By the time I get the beta downloaded the Open Beta will be over. 
Now Atari have emailed me trailers and screenshots, some of the screenshots I posted about earlier here on MMO-Symposium. It looks like those screenshots and trailers are all I will see of the game for the moment. If I don’t manage to try open beta I certainly won’t be buying the game.
I’ll keep trying download sites such as tentonhammer and fileplanet to see If I manage to get it downloaded.
*Update* I ended up getting a 1 month fileplanet sub to download the beta, it’s downloading as I write this.
Just a quick post to let you know about some Concept Art I discovered on 38 Studio’s Facebook page for their upcoming MMO Copernicus. It’s probably old news to some of you as it’s been there since November, but I only just spotted it so I’m sure others havn’t seen it either. 
As I follow @Moorgard and @rshwayder 2 of 38 studios employee’s on twitter I’m always keeping an eye out for news on Copernicus as from what I have heard the company have some nice ideas.
I’ll post any other news regarding Copernicus as I find it.
As I said in an earlier post I have been without the net for a bit while I moved house.
The other day I finally had the net installed and setup my PC, albeit surrounded by boxes I still haven’t unpacked.
During my enforced MMO break I did miss playing EQ2 and BE, though I realised when I logged back in for the first time in a while, that I had actually missed one aspect of gaming more than the gameplay itself.
Firstly a Merry Xmas to all MMO-Symposium readers!
As I currently don’t have the net at home due to Virgin’s slack install dates. I’d like to know what you’ve all been up to this year in MMO terms?
What games have you played? Which ones kept you playing and which ones did you try and drop after a beta/first month?
Also which MMO’s are you looking forward to the most for 2010?
Wodge, a gaming friend of mine and occasional writer here at mmo-symposium asked me the other day If I was planning to try the beta for Star Trek Online.
I signed up for the beta a while ago, as I do with most of the larger MMO’s. With the announcement that the open beta is due to start on January 12th, I should at least get the chance to try it for a week or two.
Sentinel’s Fate the upcoming Everquest 2 expansion is now available on Pre-Order according to a mail I received from SOE. To see where you can pre-order the expansion you can check it at the SOE site.
Sentinel’s Fate pre order details at SOE
It’s not surprising to know that you can only pre-order at the moment from US sites, if anyone finds a UK site you can pre-order from, let me know.
Zam has a trailer and some screenshots from the new expansion.
There are 3 versions available to Pre Order.
