MMO Weekly News #68 -Mabinogi, Wakfu, & More

Weekly MMO News summary for the week ended January 8 (Jan 1 – Jan 8). A quick look and discussion for every major announcement and update during the week! This week we discussed updates from the following games: Mabinogi, Fiesta Online, Star Trek Online, Aeria Games / ijji acquisition, World of Tanks, Age of Wushu, Repulse, Bright Shadow, Dragona and Wakfu. The biggest news this week is the open beta launch of the highly anticipated Wakfu MMORPG from Ankama, the same studio behind Dofus. Another big piece of news was Aeria Games buying the ijji portal from NHN. This will give Aeria Games control of the ijji Reactor service and all of ijji’s titles. I suspect the two portals (Aeria Games and ijji) will still be run fairly independently though. You can view all the individual news articles mention over at the MMOHuts.com News section.
