Tera – actually, I think we’re supposed to call it TERA – looks pretty cool. It’s another combat-centric MMORPG. However, this one is from the heavy hitting Frogster and promises to have a political system that let players experience the MMO community in a new way. It’s just speculation but I wonder how far they’ll […]
Eligium – The Chosen One MMORPG
Frogster have released a cinematic teaser trailer for their new fantasy MMORPG Eligium – The Chosen One. In Eligium players have to cope with invading demonic hordes. It’s a free to play MMO that promises to do more than dugeons and skirmishes. Eligium is actually Chinese, owned by Shanda, but Frogster have the English, German, […]
Tad Williams’ Otherland: MMORPG trailer
Tad Williams‘ Otherland cyberpunk series is getting an MMORPG of its own. The books are set on Earth, at the start of the 22nd century where technology and society have progressed to full-immersion virtual reality.

Aeria’s Perfect World trailer
Perfect World is a MMORPG from Aeria Games. The company has been producing these sexy cinematic videos for the game… which I don’t think relate to the visual aspects of the game itself but add to the mythology and look cool. Will this blogger post a video just because it looks cool? Yes. Yes he […]
E3: Syfy’s and Trion’s MMO – will it be called One Earth?
At the start of the year Geek Native wrote about One Earth. This would be a new type of MMO that ran in conjunction with a TV show (on Syfy). The concept was simple, compelling, addictive but very hard to do. The TV show and the MMO would reflect each other. For example, if two […]
Forsaken World trailer
The Forsaken World is a free to play MMO from Perfect World. Normally trailers from the free to play MMOs are… well, they’re a bit meh. They tend to show in-game scenes which aren’t all that impressive because the games are free to play and sometimes need to keep things simple in order to run […]

Aeria Games have announced a closed beta test for their latest MMO. Eden Eternal is an anime-style MMO that’s free to play and uses a 3D engine.

Rift trailer: Cry Havoc
Trion Worlds have released another video preview of their forthcoming Rift MMORPG. This video is very different from their cinematic trailer that put the focus on the dangers of the Rifts , the Guaridans and Defiants. Instead, the Cry Havoc video – some of it looks like it’s sped up – shows off the multi-player […]

The expansion also […]
