Bluehole Studio and their American publisher En Masse Entetainment have decided to defend and fight claims of theft after the launch of the fantasy MMO, Tera. Earlier this month NCSoft filed a complaint saying that Bluehole Studio built the game Tera after nicking things from Lineage 3, a NCSoft MMO title and was seeking a temporary and permanent injunction to block the release of the title in the United States.

En Masse’s VP of publishing, Chris Lee said in a recent forum post that his company is prepared to do whatever it takes to defend Tera’s release, saying “we are disappointed that NCSoft is attempting to mar the launch of Tera…unfortunately we can’t discuss much publicly due to the sensitivity of the legal actions, but we do outright reject the NCSoft Claims and [are going] to do everything in our power to defend and protect ourselves.” Despite the legal matters, Lee confirmed En Masse stll plan on launching Tera on May the 1st of this year.

Prior to the current conflict some people might be interested in knowing that a lot of Bluehole staff are actually ex-NCSoft devs and ran into some trouble back in 2009 when some of them were accused More >

League of Legends has presented the Ziggs Patch Preview that comes with some gameplay changes for existing champions, items, and other gameplay, as opposed to information about Ziggs himself.

In addition this patch preview has unveiled a new Champion, Ziggs, the Hexplosives Expert. The first thing you’ll notice about Ziggs is that he doesn’t get anything for free, it requires a strong throwing arm and keen aim to get the most out of him, trading safety and caution for massive damage opportunities and insane poke. Ziggs bounces, a new skill shot paradigm, bombs along the ground at his foes and blasts them to smithereens, providing he can predict his enemy’s movements effectively.

Abilities:

-    Bouncing Bomb – Ziggs throws a bouncing bomb that deals magic damage.-    Satchel Charge - Ziggs flings an explosive charge that detonates after 4 seconds, or when this ability is activated again. The explosion deals magic damage to enemies, knocking them away. Ziggs is also knocked away, but takes no damage.-    Hexplosive Minefield – Ziggs scatters proximity mines that detonate on enemy contact, dealing magic damage and slowing.-    Mega Inferno Bomb (Ultimate) – Ziggs deploys his ultimate creation, the Mega Inferno Bomb, hurling it an enormous distance, Enemies in the primary blast zone take More >

Ankama has announced that  its second MMORPG Wakfu, currently in open beta, will be released the next February 29th .

Whilst WAKFU retains some of the basic features seen in DOFUS, gameplay is governed by player responsibility this time around, and the familiar comic and strategic aspects of DOFUS are accompanied by exclusive political and environmental elements.

In addition to this announcement, Ankama has released its second developer diary, in which members of the WAKFU team explore specific aspects of the game and the methods used in their development. This Developer Diary deals with the theme of the different monsters and enemies you’ll come up against in WAKFU.

Luvinia Online launched late in 2011 and has already seen a significant content expansion added to the game. Called "Zendo", the new area brings over a hundred new quests and much more into Luvinia. We recently went along on a GM-led tour of Zendo. See what we found out!

The latest content expansion features the Zendo location. Our tour began at the Geneway College where we were met by members of the GM team. As all of our characters were well under the established 40+ character level for Zendo, we were automagically transported by the GM team.

As Final Fantasy XIV forges ahead with its revived subscription model, Square-Enix is showing signs that it is listening to its customer base in regards to options. The company announced that players can now directly subscribe to the game with a credit or debit card through the account system.

Previously, Final Fantasy XIV utilized a convoluted system that required players to purchase an intermediary currency called Crysta, which was then spent on monthly subscription options. Not only did players find this complex and unnecessary, but there were issues with buying more Crysta than one actually needed.

According to the company, the ability to directly subscribe via credit card was “by far the most popular request received from the community.” FFXIV began charging for subscriptions earlier this month after more than a year of free service.
