262. Hardcore WoW raiding
April 28, 2010
Hardcore WoW raiding is a deeply-competitive form of gameplay at the "world-first" level. Professionally-backed PvE raiding is a bit less prevalent among the "e-sport" industry than you might expect, given the size and international success of World of Warcraft.

April 26, 2010
Socially-driven players are looking forward to the new guild-leveling system, which will share some of the guild mechanics that have already existed in other MMOs for years now.

268. NCsoft's Blade & Soul
April 26, 2010
In case you weren't aware, Blade & Soul is an MMORPG being developed by NCsoft, and they claim that B&S will involve action-based / directional combat rather than targeting something and pressing 1 repeatedly.

269. Global Agenda, Fallen Earth, Darkfall
April 26, 2010
Just recently we noted that Blizzard is already preparing for the day when World of Warcraft will be declared obsolete, and while many readers felt that, like Everquest, WoW will never be considered "obsolete" (only unprofitable), there is one aspect of World of Warcraft that has remained untouched ...
