Game development and you

Posted 10/12/2010 at 16:52 by Vaidas B (Blogin' n stuff)

What kind of impact do we leave on the “face” of an MMO when we play? I doubt it’s large on most games, one user out of thousands. But there are some that let us contribute to them, change them, or even make some basic decisions.
How many games do you know, that have a healthy playerbase, and their makers actually care about what players think? A lot of games are “standard”, the maker makes all the in-game content, and the publisher releases (sometimes makers and publishers can be the same...

The new generation of games

Posted 10/08/2010 at 12:05 by Vaidas B (Blogin' n stuff)

Hello everyone, if you read my first article, I was talking about some games that were unsuccessful. Now I’m going to do the opposite, talk about the new games that are out, and tell you a little bit about them.

So, without any further delay, let’s begin:

FreeJack

For those of you who don’t know, Freejack is a racing game, where players run on foot. Even though it sounds like the game “Tale Runner”, its nothing like that. You see, FreeJack is a parkour...

IP Blocks

How many of you have waited for a game to be released, had high hopes of playing it?
And then everything crashed due to one reason, the area you are living in is blocked by the game servers. Most MMO’s have IP blocks for players from certain regions. Like games that have their servers in North America block players from Europe. Some Korean games block players from North America and the circle continues. I’m going to discuss the main reasons of IP blocks.

Pay to play vs Buy to play vs Free to play

Posted 10/03/2010 at 13:38 by Vaidas B (Blogin' n stuff)

Everybody should know these terms by now. If you don’t I’ll help you out:
• Free to play: Games that are totally free, and have no monthly subscriptions, or any type of mandatory fee’s (you only pay if you want to buy something nice).
• Buy to play: You only pay for the game once and you get full content. (games like Guild Wars use this)
• Pay to play: A player pay’s a mandatory fee (in most games u have to pay every month, but you can buy month or year subscriptions)

Microtransactions

Posted 09/28/2010 at 12:55 by Vaidas B (Blogin' n stuff)

I think every dedicated MMO player knows this term, microtransaction, or has used it at least once. Microtransactions, or micropayments are small payments to buy something in the virtual world. Like costumes for game avatars, or other in-game cash shop items. According to playpal, a micropayment is not more then 12$ (USD), but most (all) games pass that limit.

In most games players that want to buy something are forced to play twice for something. Game makers price objects in a way...
