One Shots: Lion’s Arch Wintersday panorama
Filed under: Fantasy, Screenshots, Guild Wars, One Shots
Today’s image may not look nearly as awesome as it is when you consider the limitations of the blog format, but the above thin strip of image is actually an enormous Guild Wars Wintersday panorama! These gorgeous panoramas are compiled from several screenshots, carefully edited together by Shawn W. and then posted to his Flickr gallery of lovely Guild Wars panoramas for all to enjoy. You can not only find a full-size of today’s frosty festival image there, but several others, all waiting for your eyes. Great work, Shawn, and thanks for sending this in to us here at One Shots! If you’ve…

Tabula Rasa burial ground, behind EB Games
Filed under: Sci-fi, Culture, MMO industry, Opinion, Tabula Rasa, Free-to-play
Despite the title of this Kotaku post, I still refuse to call Tabula Rasa a bad game. Sure it’s certainly not an encouraging sign to see dozens of sealed TR boxes filling a dumpster behind an EB Games in Canada, but I am not going to jump on that wagon. In this Kotaku post, we see two reader-submitted photos of said dumpster, and it really makes me sad to think about where those games could have gone instead. I wonder if they first tried to give them away for free, or perhaps the EB Games upper management told them that it’s not even worth the shelf space, considering their PC shelf space is…

Worlds.com vs NCsoft: Not yet served?
Filed under: News items, Legal, Virtual worlds
Just to update you all on the progress of the Worlds.com vs NCsoft lawsuit (a patent suit that is pitched to spread to other MMOG and virtual environment developers/operators), the Korea Times reports on 31 December 2008, that NCsoft had yet to be served with notice of the suit.
There are essentially only two ways in which the notice can be legally served to NCsoft in the Republic of Korea to establish jurisdiction over NCsoft as a defendant. One is through formal diplomatic channels, and the other is via the Hague Service Convention. The HSC was established because of the enormous delays in…

The Digital Continuum: Sci-fi geeks need to experience Jumpgate Evolution
Filed under: Sci-fi, Jumpgate Evolution, New titles, Opinion
Spring is right around the corner and with it comes warmer weather, rain showers, blossoming fauna and Jumpgate Evolution. As much as I’d love to think there are thousands of you out there that know all about the game, I get the feeling that in actuality the number is significantly lower. Granted, real-time action space shooter MMOs aren’t exactly a mass market genre, so it’s probably a fair shake overall. But what’s really worrying me is that even those who should be excited for Jumpgate Evolution are seemingly unaware of it’s forthcoming release. This won’t do, and so I present to you the…

Why you should be playing City of Heroes: Emotes
Filed under: Super-hero, Screenshots, City of Heroes, City of Villains, Opinion, Humor, Why You Should Be Playing
Sure, almost all MMOGs have emotes. They’ve been there forever. But much like the incredibly involved character creator, City of Heroes boasts a wide range of very silly and fun choices, perfect for those who love to add in that little oomph when role-playing or just messing around with friends. Also, unlike the fire-and-forget-it emote development of many other MMOs, the City of Heroes developers continue to slowly add new emotes in to the game, both through patches and microtransaction packs. Some are easy to find through the chat menus, while others are a bit off the beaten path, and short…

NCsoft prepares the defense against Worlds.com
Filed under: MMO industry, News items, Legal, Virtual worlds
As we announced and analyzed earlier in the week, NCsoft is being sued by Worlds.com for patent infringement on recently granted patent 7,181,690 — the system and method for enabling users to interact in a virtual space. An NCsoft representative recently spoke with the Korea Times, saying that the offices in Korea have not begun analyzing the patent, nor have they received the court papers yet. However, the company does look to be preparing a defense, according to Virtual Worlds News. “We can’t comment on potential litigation except to say that NCsoft takes all legal action seriously — even…

Richard Garriott wants to get back into fantasy gaming
Filed under: Fantasy, Real life, MMO industry
The impending closure and lack of expected success from Tabula Rasa is not going to deter Richard Garriott from giving the online gaming business another shot. In a recent interview with the BBC, Garriott expressed his intentions to get back into MMO business. “After 25 years at Origin, the last thing I wanted to make was yet another medieval fantasy game,” he said. “Now, after a very interesting break, I’m keen to get back into the fray and work on a new game. Probably medieval fantasy and probably online; there’s something very powerful about getting people together.” Also in this…
