Weekly MMO news round-up: Chinese gender-bending, Aion changes, Star Trek, AoC

LOTRO-Gwuenhyvar

This was a rather large week in MMOs as far as news went, and not all of it was Halloween related.

Past the break you will hear all about how Ultima Online is still going strong, get familiarized with the new patch for Aion, read up on Cryptic’s Blood Moon event via a dev chat, PvP henchmen and Guild Wars, Alganon’s delay, China’s ban on males playing females in games, and many other bits of stuff that didn’t hit the front page during the week.

Also, we hope everyone who plays MMOs enjoyed the Halloween and Fall festivities that their particular favorites hosted. Loads had celebrations, more than likely every single one of ‘em. If we forgot to mention your particular game, head on over to the list through the link ther and add it in the comments section so that we may give it its proper shout-out.

eveonlinea4

Not loads to tell you this week in the MMO update.  Most news surrounding the genre was big enough for its very own post on the site.

However, to keep things the same, we have thrown all the rest into your usual Saturday post.

Final Fantasy XI players will have jobs adjusted, Runes of Magic has new playable classes, the EVE Online thief speaks out, and Funcom has no plans right now for an Anarchy Online 2.

All this and more through the jump.

ffxi3

A lawsuit has been brought against Square Enix, seeking more than $5 million, for what is alleged to be “unfair business practices, false advertising and unjust enrichment”.

Plaintiff Esther Leong of San Francisco is claiming Square Enix “lied about or concealed its monthly fees, penalties for late payments, interest, restrictions and other things that should have been fully disclosed at points of purchase” concerning Final Fantasy XI.

Good luck with that. From Courthouse News Service, via 1UP.

Weekly MMO news round-up: Formula One MMO, SWTOR dev diary, loads of WoW stuff

lotro3

E3 is almost upon us so there is bound to be some new MMO announced or a bit of decent enough MMO news coming out of the event by this time next week, so expect this post to either be thicker – or thinner. Depends on how huge the news was to begin with when it hits.

This week, there is more of the usual. Screens, dev diaries, class changes, new quests being added. World of Warcraft had the most bit of news though, and even if it wasn’t earth-shattering, it was still a bunch.

Read on after the break for your fix.
