Dark Souls admin suggests PC could happen with a petition
Jan 9th
If you want to buy some EVE iskor EVE item,please click here.
Petitions come and petitions go, but when an employee of Namco Bandai suggests Dark Souls could get ported to PC with a few thousand signatures, we take notice. Administrator shoupinou responded to a request for a PC version of Dark Souls with the following advice:
“There is always possibilities to have games adapted on PC and the good news is that Dark Souls is not a 100% typical Console game so the adaptation is possible. Now to make things happen, let’s say the demand has to be properly done. someone to make a successful petition?”
There is a petition gathering steam as we speak — 36,668 signatures as of this writing — and if you’re a PC or Dark Souls fan, we don’t see any danger in adding your own to the fight. Unless the CIA is using it to compile a list of suspected terrorists or something.

Ultima Online: Fifteen Years & Counting
Jan 8th
It's hard to believe that the Grandaddy of Them All, Ultima Online, is fast approaching its fifteenth anniversary. We recently had the privilege of chatting with UO Associate Producer Bonnie "Mesanna" Armstrong. It's a short but informative interview about the venerable Ultima Online. Read on!
Ultima Online has been on the market for almost 15 years, can you tell us why you think it has such longevity?
Ultima Online is the ultimate Sandbox. We have something for everyone from designing your house from the foundation up to slaying dragons. We are probably the only game on the market that you can still run on a low end computer, in addition to the personal one on one interaction with the players that has forged an amazing community. I personally have played UO since 1997 and worked on it since 1999 and I continue to learn or see something new and entertaining every day.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Update
Jan 8th
The biggest MMO launch of last year has no received its first major update and it’s not just bug fixes.
The new update includes new bosses and a fresh raid for you to spend the first bit of the new year with. The raid is a smaller than usual raid, called ‘Kaon Under Siege’, which is a level 50 flashpoint limited to a four player group.
The bosses in question were added to ‘Karagga’s Palace’, four of them in total. But along with those updates, it brings along with it the usual things to expect in an update; bug fixes, changes to PvP on Ilum and a new tier for level 50 PvP warzones. The bug fixes make some datacrons accessible and fixes some glitches that stopped characters from advancing in a conversation.
I’ve still yet to pick up The Old Republic, but if I see some more updates like this I might eventually give in. Nothing better than a good online community fuelling decent updates. Makes me wonder when Minecraft is getting that Adventure mode.
Anyway, are you enjoying the new bosses? The full update info is available here.

Age of Wushu: Coming to North America
Jan 6th
Snail Games has announced that it is bringing a new MMO to North Americans. Called 'Age of Wushu', the game takes place during 2000 years of Wuxia in China. Developers also have said that the game does not rely on levels and classes.
Players choose from "one of six unique storylines" where every action is said to produce something. Most intriguingly, developers have said, " even a beggar on a street corner can be a Grand Master".
Players will also be in control of where and how to hone their skills in Wushu. Players can choose one of eight martial arts schools to train, or invade another school to steal knowledge not offered at their current alma mater. Training can even take place offline by choosing one of 30 offline activities to keep a character progressing in-game as an NPC.
To celebrate today's announcement, Snail Games has released a brand new trailer.
Find out more about Age of Wushu on the newly launched site.
