If an MMO were a human being, it would need nourishment in order to survive.
Sadly, a lot of MMOs die without even seeing their commercial launch. This prompted me to write this short article on what “vitamins” a game really needs in order to survive this cut-throat industry were hundreds of games compete for success.
Let’s examine the vitamins, one by one, shall we?

Before the weekend, we made a MAJOR revamp to the Ragnarok website. Isn’t it uber-cute and cool?
Check it out and spread the word! Thanks to everyone in LU for working hard and getting this project off the ground. Awesome job, guys!
With the advent of new technology and faster broadband connection, we may see the “graphics gap” between MMOs and PC/Console games such as Crysis come closer and closer.
It’s safe to bet that in a few years time, PCs will be more powerful enough (and so will the connection speeds) to render photo-realistic graphics in real time. There are several MMORPGs in the market today that are trying to attempt this. But I think that technology is still not ready, especially for countries such as ours (the Philippines).

Social Network sites like Facebook and Twitter are a great way to know what your friends are currently thinking and doing. But, honestly, how much more of “I ate a cheeseburger today” or “I hope she rolls over and dies” status messages can you take?
In a great article at the WSJ by Elizabeth Bernstein, she divulges that most people do not simply care about the mundane things that others are doing (or even thinking). This is what the author calls Facebook Fatigue
“Like many people, I’m experiencing Facebook Fatigue. I’m tired of loved ones—you know who you are—who claim they are too busy to pick up the phone, or even write a decent email, yet spend hours on social-media sites, uploading photos of their children or parties, forwarding inane quizzes, posting quirky, sometimes nonsensical one-liners or tweeting their latest whereabouts.”
New movie checklist….
Aliens? Check. Special Effects? Check. Peter Jackson as Director? Check.
Must see. District 9. Opens in PH next week I think.
