By M. Hauschel Offering players more action, less wait time, and intense matches, Bioware Mythic Studio distilled the best parts playing an MMORPG and MOBA style game and created Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes. “Fast, fierce, and fun” is the motto of the Wrath of Heroes. Taking the best of Warhammer and making it accessible to a wide range of players. I was given a chance to preview the upcoming free-to-play MMORPG, visit the studio, and chat with the creators behind the game. WOH is a unique...

By, Michael Dunaway “Two minutes!” I hear the developer yell out. I scramble to complete my ultimate weapon creation, a six-round rocket launcher with turbo charged ammo that bounces off surfaces and explodes in incendiary goodness. I load into a test environment and squeeze off a few rounds against some stationary targets. My rockets connect and engulf the target in a wonderfully fiery explosion. Yes, this will be my tool of destruction. The weapon Ive just created is unique and one...

By, Michael Dunaway Those who follow us intently know how much we play League of Legends here at MMOHut. So it should come as no surprise that when I got the opportunity to play LoL’s upcoming champion Varus at this year’s Pax East I jumped at the chance. Varus is Leagues newest range attack damage champion and has the longest non ultimate ability cast distance out of any of the current ranged carries.

Instead of relying on an army of animals to be successful in battle, players can study the creatures around them, and eventually gain the ability to imitate both their skills and their physical form. It’s all thanks to a little system known as the “Creature Tome.” Players gain access to the mysterious tome (denoted by a magnifying glass icon) after...

By Gavin Dickson As all of us know, MMORPG’s have followed the same structure from game to game for many years now. When looking at the foundation of an MMORPG, we can pinpoint many different features that make up the genre: Skill Trees, Classes, Loot, PVP, Quests, and everything in between.

When looking at the currently available MMORPG titles, we start to...

By Gavin Dickson   Whenever a new game is announced people everywhere overflow with excitement anticipating their next adventure into a new game. Some would argue that players tend to expect too much when a new game is announced. Even though this is how adoring fans show their gratitude towards developers, it could potentially set an unreasonable expectation level that the game MUST hit. In the minds of gamers this is normal, yet developers know full well they cannot please everyone and sometimes...
