In the game world of AdventureQuest Worlds, Artix and Sepulchure are mortal enemies. Artix is a paladin, a warrior of light who specializes in battling evil. Sepulchure is one of the world's most powerful and evil villains who commands a vast army of darkness monsters. To celebrate the release of these collector figures, AQWorlds is doing a series of updates to the Doomwood storyline that will culminate in a battle between Artix and Sepulchure… a battle that only one of them will be able to survive.

Diablo 3: Review-in-Progress Part One
May 16th
After 12 years was Diablo III worth it? That's far too loaded a question to answer in just a single piece, so we're putting together a review-in-progress series leading up to our final review. Today, we look at Diablo III's launch day and offer our take on our experience with the game so far.
Diablo III didn’t get off to a great start; in fact, it got off to a horrible start. As I write this article, the servers are down for maintenance, which is pretty much par for the course over the last 24 hours. I was hoping to finish Act I by the time I put this thing together, but alas, Battle.net isn’t feeling cooperative. A lot of readers like to point out that Diablo III isn’t an MMO whenever we post an article or news post about the game, but it looks like the game shares at least one thing in common with MMOs: crap launch days. They’ve gotten better over the years, sure, but Diablo III’s launch experience hearkens back to MMO launches of old due to the widespread instability and lack of service. That ‘always online’ bit? Not such a great idea after all, eh?

Star Wars: The Old Republic: Community Conundrum
May 16th
How should BioWare handle the server population issues plaguing Star Wars: The Old Republic? We weigh a number of options in this week's SWTOR column.
EA Mythic made the grave mistake of opening too many servers too quickly in order to deal with player demand at launch with Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, and from communications coming out of BioWare during SWTOR’s Early Access I got the notion that the team were painfully aware of this history. The team appeared to be approaching the opening of new servers pretty carefully to avoid the same issue. Unfortunately, something fell apart somewhere and BioWare ended up putting out too many servers to spread out the population.

Could Lionhead studios be developing an MMORPG?
May 16th
Lionhead Studios is well-known for two things, compulsive lying and fantasy RPG Fable. Maybe that’s one thing, but anyways, it looks like the studio is hiring again and this has our interest. Not long ago, Lionhead was seeking an MMO-oriented programmer and now they are seeking a game designer for their "ambitious new project". This poses a question, are Lionhead creating a Fable MMO, a new IP, or even an MMO at all?The studio is asking that the game designer possesses previous MMO experience and skills at developing multiplayer levels with world building tools. Could we see the announcement of a Fable MMORPG coming straight off the tail of The Elder Scrolls Online? If you are a fan of the Fable series, this is definitely a series of events you may want to keep your eye on.
Blood is returning to the European version of TERA.
May 16th
TERA is a subscription-based, fantasy action-MMORPG which recently launched in North America and Europe. The European version launched with a little controversy over the censoring of parts of the game, in order to meet the PEGI 12 rating. One of the hot topics was the fact that the slider for blood effects had been removed and blood made nearly non-existant. Well, European fans, today you will be happy to know that the blood slider is returning.Patch 1.0.29 will go live today and bring with it a host of very welcome changes. Besides blood effects, other notable changes are: guild emblems are returning, the political system begins on May 16th, a clock has been added in-game and certain vendors have disappeared from towns and await a Vanarch to restore them. The servers are set to go live again at 14:00 CEST, in which time players will be able to enjoy the new patch. You can also read the full patch notes.Visit the TERA game page to find out more!
