I'm not sure how Soul Nomad relates to Phantom Hourglass, but it is a pretty rocking game. I'm playing through it right now.

It's kinda spoilers but there is a part of Soul Nomad that directly ties into Phantom Brave's plot, despite the rest of it being pretty much entirely separate.

Phantom Brave is still not Phantom Hourglass.


I am reminded that I should give Soul Nomad a try though.

An impulsive look at Blizzard's job listings shows a bunch of positions for work on "Next-Gen MMO".  For those of you still arguing that Blizzard itself doesn't recognize that WoW's nearing the end of its peak.

I think that's been there since before burning crusade.

They already announced that the end date of WoW is 10 years after release.

I remember what happened the last time a company tried to make a second MMO.  Asheron's Call 2 didn't really take off.  Wait a minute.  Was Everquest 2 popular?

Of course, if it's Starcraft Online, and they make it a completely different experience from WoW, it might not fail.

NCSoft has had multiple MMOs running for basically ever, even in the same region, and they haven't had much in the way of problems.

I guess I should be saying something more along the lines of "it probably won't be as popular as WoW" and "If they stop updating it expecting people to move to the new MMO they're in trouble"

I guess they could offer real incentives for long-time players to move on...
You know, stuff like offering bonuses for "Character transfers" and what have you.

If they were really aggressive they could be making moves to hook the players who have legitimate beefs with WoW with some kind of alternative.  An online RPG that's more casual, faster paced, easier to group up in, involves more combat and less micromanaging, makes the player more central to the game world...

Oh... oh.

Blizzard has publically announced that the super secret next gen MMO is NOT World of Warcraft 2, and I'm pretty sure an interview said it was an entirely new universe.

There's also been an official comment along the lines of "Something is eventually going to take subscribers from WoW, so we'd rather it be us when that time comes"

Having said that, WoW isn't going anywhere for a while.  Blizzard has just begun planning things very far ahead of time, in general.

I'm perfectly okay with an original universe. Ever since WoW, every MMO released has been a licensed property -- and, expectedly, only about a handful of them (if indeed that many) have actually had any real lasting power.

And the job postings at BioWare Austin said the sci-fi MMO they were working on was "an original IP".

Is Mass Effect based on something?

A job listing for an unnanounced project using obscuring language is a bit different from the CEO of the company giving a press interview, talking directly about the project, and saying in his own words "It's not going to be a World of Warcraft sequel."

Does anybody know if when an egg hatches, if the shiny that hatches will appear with sparkles like it would in battle?  I am of course talking about pikkymens, but I've never seen a shiny hatch and I'm sure someone somewhere (like R^2) has seen what happens.

Lady Duke, I would assume that it has exactly the same amount of sparkles that appear when a shiny mon evolves. I don't know how many sparkles that is.
