GuildCafe

So, I joined Guild Cafe and made a profile. Go check it out and add me to your friends list.

The site is pretty cool, lots of nice features, but it feels like it is still missing some stuff. I’m not surprised to see someone trying to combine myspace and MMORPGs, but I haven’t seen anyone doing it *right* yet. Still though, Guildcafe has a nice start. Let’s see how it turns out.

City of Options

In City of Heroes, there are five archetypes and two epic archetypes. Blasters have seven primary power pools and five secondaries; Controllers have six and seven; Defenders have eight and seven; Scrappers have six and four; and Tankers have four and seven. Peacebringers and Warshades have just the one super-sized primary and secondary each, but in practice people choose to specialize in the human, nova, or dwarf forms or some combination of two or three, giving seven options for each. In City of Villains, there are five archetypes. Brutes have six primary power pools and six secondaries; Corruptors have seven and seven; Dominators and Masterminds have five of each; and Stalkers have six and five.

7*5+6*7+8*7+6*4+4*7+7+7+6*6+7*7+5*5+5*5+6*5=364

If you rest for one day a year, you can literally play a different character every day without repeating yourself. Leap year is coming next year, though, so we must hope for the villain epic archetypes sometime in the next eighteen months.

H.P.Lovecraft

MMOs based on a literary IPs: Turbine have done it with the generally well received Lord of the Rings (Chicken Play edition ™) and Funcom are in the beta test of their game that is based on and inspired by the chronicles of a certain Conan T. Barbarian esq. by Robert E. Howard. (Nitpickers amongst you may be feeling the need to point out that he was never referred to by Howard as Conan The Barbarian. I know!) Personally, I’m looking forward to Age of Conan a lot although I’m not entirely sure when I’m actually going to have a machine capable of rendering the lands of Hyboria in all their sumptuous glory. What I’m surprised about is that there hasn’t yet been an announcement of an MMO based on the Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos.
