The long wait after many delays is over and New World is available! The Noobfridge has been dying to get into this one so let's take a little journey with him and do a first look at the game itself, instead of focusing on the long queues the MMORPG has so far! To find out more about New World, check out the game page which includes more info, user reviews, screenshots and additional videos. Don´t forget to subscribe to MMOBomb YouTube channel.
So...is Guild Wars 3 a thing or not and what's up with that League of Legends MMO?
Hackers, League of Legends MMORPG project and more!
With Overwatch having some recent woes, there's certainly space for a strong competitor.
Some are good, most are bad...but even some of the bad ones can be good, right?
You can play ALL the games, but some just keep enticing you.
Some games, books, and movies just lend themselves to being MMORPGs...but which ones should have been made already?
If you didn't have the Gaming Gumbo I would say just cover the biggest news in gaming that can technically fit the online theme. Since you do have Gaming Gumbo I think you should make a priority list of different kinds of games instead of a hard yes or no. Or maybe a ... PRIORITY TIER LIST!!!
S Tier:
* Anything Bless related when Troy is on.
A Tier:
* News from major mmos.
* Industry news (Blizzard lawsuits, Twitch hack, etc.).
B Tier:
* F2P news.
* News from smaller mmos.
* News from bigger online only games.
C Tier:
* News from bigger games with online multiplayer (Smash, CoD, etc.).
D Tier:
* News from smaller games with online multiplayer.
E Tier:
* Everything else.
Press F Tier:
* To pay respect to dead games.
If a piece of news is really interesting (or has really good SEO) bump it up a tier or two. If it's boring bump it down. Then just cover stories based on their ranking until you have enough material. The tier list is in the order I would prefer but feel free to swap the order.
P.S. Jambalaya is better than gumbo
I want my 5 seconds of fame and the happiness of you guys reading my answer to the question back....
