CATACALYSM

                                                              CATACALYSM

World of Warcraft Cataclysm has launched! This broad new expansion will feature many redesigns of the already huge game world. Two new races will also be added. There are two factions in the game that your character can align with, the Horde or Alliance. The Horde faction will recruit the deadly goblins into their ranks of battle hardened soldiers. The Alliance will unite with the Worgen (wolf like humanoids).  World of Warcraft is an MMORPG game set it a fantasy universe. There is a mass amount of content. Some people estimate the play time to be 8000+ hours to complete every objective in the game. The article was written by the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm-wow reviews and guides team. The authors give their own opinions as well as important facts.

The article explains many MMO retailing things that are significant to my own blog. The article gives us a synopsis of upcoming features.  It also states the prices for the games. The article gives quotes from Blizzard game producers. They say that “this expansion will shatter the previous expansion sales”.

I am very excited to enjoy the content is this World of Warcraft expansion.  Blizzard has(the creators of World of Warcraft) changed the entire game world to make it more eye appealing and worthwhile. Before the expansion, the world was bland with not many storyline quests. Know the whole game is refurbished with many storyline quests and vibrant detail. During the launch other people were so anxious to log in to get a head start on leveling. The queue to log in on my realm was over 2600!

EVE: INCURSION

                        EVE: Incursion

On December 1^st, CCP (the creators of EVE) released a new expansion, Incursion. The expansion is for EVE online. EVE online is a massively multiplayer online game set 30,000 years in the future. Players take on the role of capsuleers (clones) to fulfill their destiny in the Universe. The capsuleers are immortal, as long as their cloning vats stay online. This expansion brings many new things to the EVE online universe, one of those being the new character creation tool. Players will know have to ability to make a full bodied character.  The Incursion is based off of the attacks of Sanshas Nation. Sanshas Nation was originally a band of arms manufacturers, but as they were discovered, the four empires (Amarr, Gallente, Caldari, and Minmatar) took action against them. Ever since then, the remaining Sanshas Nation fleet has lived in worm holes. Know they seek retribution. The fleets have attacked many planets since May and have taken over 4,000,000 slaves/hostages. The article was written by the CCP news team.

The article gives details about Sanshas Nation incursions in real-space. It also states how many people were taken from the planets they have raided. The article gives information about the brand new character creation, and the removal of the learning skills (cumbersome skills that lower skill training time as a whole). I am excited to see what the game will be like with the new character creation, and the removal of learning skills, I am looking forward to more attacks from Sanshas Nation. On December 3^rd, CCP did a test on the removal of learning skills. The test was a success. More major updates will be available on December 13-15^th.

I am hoping that this expansion will be a great success. I also hope that it will bring more players to EVE online. The EVE game world itself is only one server. The estimated maximum amount of people allowed at one time online is 70,000. 300,000 people have registered accounts. CCP is doing their best to expand the number of players that can be online at one time. I personally have never seen the population rise above 51,000. I agree that CCP should re-create the character creation tool.  The old one has very outdated graphics. In this expansion the character creation character actually look like real-life people!

EVE: Incursion has launched, but the major updates have not. They are scheduled to release December 13-15^th.  The game will feature many new experiences, tools, and advancements to the already large game.
