Other signature CoX characters will also be at the event. If you wish to attend, here’s [...]
Never…EVER play on patch day.
Tabula Rasa’s latest patch went live this morning. The much discussed Rage changes (like them or not), Military Surplus (auction house), new consumables (portable waypoints ftw), and weapon/armor itemization all made it in much to the delight of most players.

Sandboxes and Theme Parks
GamesIndustry.biz has a fascinating interview segment with NCSoft’s Thomas Bidaux (NCSoft Europe’s director of product development) about one of the publisher’s (and perhaps industry’s) core conceits of online games: sandboxes and theme parks. Bidaux explains that online games, in order to succeed, must strike a tricky balance between open-ended, create-and-do-what-you-want sandbox gameplay versus proceed-through-amazing-linear-steps theme park [...]
