Straw Fellow's Field: Worst Case Scenario: SWTOR Goes F2P
http://strawfellow.blogspot.com/2012/07/worst-case-scenario-swtor-goes-f2p.html
A small spot for me to talk about MMORPG's, among other things. Wednesday, July 18, 2012. Worst Case Scenario: SWTOR Goes F2P. Apologies for the delay in posting, I've had some silly fiascos involving a broken down car. Oh, and they are adding a companion based off of HK-47. Didn't know that? The Devs know that you don't. And they are trying to get attention back to their game. Why is it bad though? This -will- make companies hesitate before spending money on MMORPG's. You may think that this would m...

Straw Fellow's Field: Worst Case Scenario - Gambling with Games
http://strawfellow.blogspot.com/2012/07/worst-case-scenario-gambling-with-games.html
A small spot for me to talk about MMORPG's, among other things. Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Worst Case Scenario - Gambling with Games. I found myself wondering how this sort of marketing could be brought to true online gaming (Skylanders has an online version, just not a fully fledged online world) and my thoughts drifted to other miniature based games.and then found myself mortified at the possibilities. How does this relate to Skylanders, you ask? Multiply that into an entire game and you have an untappe...

Straw Fellow's Field: Turning Lies into Marketing
http://strawfellow.blogspot.com/2012/08/turning-lies-into-marketing.html
A small spot for me to talk about MMORPG's, among other things. Thursday, August 30, 2012. Turning Lies into Marketing. I titled this post "Turning Lies into Marketing" because I felt that companies always lie about going F2P, due to the stigma it attaches to their game. From what I understand, Secret World is an exception to this as Funcom is not shy about saying they might do it, but for the most part companies are ashamed of it. I say, why lie to your playerbase?

A small spot for me to talk about MMORPG's, among other things. Thursday, September 6, 2012. Features All MMO's Should Have - Sidekicking from City of Heroes. Before I begin, I'd like to say I whole-hardheartedly support the groups trying to save City of Heroes. I don't know if they can do it, and I'm not keeping my hopes up, but this would lift the spirits of many of the people who are down because of the game closing. I truly feel like we aren't losing a game, we are losing a home. These past five year...

A small spot for me to talk about MMORPG's, among other things. Thursday, May 31, 2012. Mini-Post - Diablo 3 and Non-Standard Fantasy. This is more gushing than it is analysis, but I thought I'd share. They represent humanity. They are selfish and concerned with their own world and well-being, and it works. Diablo 3 isn't about saving the world to fulfill some higher purpose. It's about killing demons because F#$% demons. Monday, May 28, 2012. In Defense of Blizzard - Real Money Auction House.

Straw Fellow's Field: October 2011

A small spot for me to talk about MMORPG's, among other things. Saturday, October 29, 2011. The Lion's Den - Character Models. I have a confession to make: I find realistic models in MMORPG's to be absolutely ugly. LOTRO and DDO are the worst offenders in my book, but Everquest 2 is a close second. For example, look at this picture. You could say that it is due to the age of these games, but APB. Are making their people look terrible as well. I couldn't tell you. And I can't really blame developers f...

A small spot for me to talk about MMORPG's, among other things. Monday, December 26, 2011. I wanted to let you know I am alive, and currently immersed in my Sith Warrior in SWTOR. I will be composing several impressions about the game, including one about how Bioware's launch plans panned out, and they will be posted to ForceJunkies.com, with posts here redirecting you to that site. Friday, December 16, 2011. Why Skyrim Flooded the MMORPG Blogs. This you likely knew, but there is one part about that ever...

A small spot for me to talk about MMORPG's, among other things. Tuesday, September 27, 2011. A Short Point About Rusty Hearts. Can we all agree that a game is no longer in open beta when it is about to launch a major content update in a month, has an active cash shop, and is already being distributed openly on Steam? Saturday, September 24, 2011. Every Endgame is PvP. I was reminded of a post I had made previously on individualistic communities. Without these elements; without needing other players to pr...
