| MMORPG DAILY DIGEST | December 23, 2014 |
 | This being my final Free Zone column for 2014, my first inclination was to choose a topic in the looking back vein. When I started considering possibilities, I immediately dismissed the idea of doing something "me too" like best of awards, which the site does far more prominently than I could anyway. Instead, I decided to discuss a few ways I'd like to see the MMOG development and publishing industry change, however unlikely they may be. Read more here |
 | If you have a knack for some old-school dungeon and sandbox MMO fun, you really should check out Eldevin. With a recent launch of Steam, the game is better than ever. It's a mix between a sandbox, a linear questing game and interesting virtual world. The game features a top-down look that makes many comment about its similarity to the very popular RuneScape.

Funds were 'crowd-sourced' through the purchase of special in-game items that contributed to the overall amount to be awarded to the winners. Read more here |
| Thanks to the new gifting option in the Marvel Heroes 2015 store, players can now send items to others. Players can send Heroes, Costumes, Team-Ups, Pets and Fortune Card bundles, many of which are discounted right now just in time for the holidays. Read more here |
| In a short, but meaningful, post on the Landmark forum, Dave "Smokejumper" Georgeson acknowledges that the team should have better prepared players for combat in Landmark. Choosing, he says, to get input from the community releasing it in its early form without that preparation was a mistake. Read more here |

| The Conquer Online team has sent out the first information about the upcoming Kingdom War expansion set to hit the game in the first quarter of 2015. The first order of business is the consolidation the game's servers into six large 'kingdoms' where players will be able to face off in a battle to rule. In addition, cross server battles will also pit player against player to crown the champion of all. Read more here |
