It’s hard to tell if this year will be a good one for gaming, or at least MMOs in particular. There’s several games on the horizon (Chapions Online, Jumpgate Evolution, Fallen Earth, Free Realms, etc.) and many of them are holding my interest. So, what do I do in times like these? Sign up for as many beta opportunities as possible!

MMO competition is going to be getting even more fierce in the next few years as more MMOs of genres other than fantasy begin pouring into the market. One of the few reasons City of Heroes is still on my list of games to resub to (besides being fun) is that it is the only superhero based MMO on the market currently. Now we have Champions Online, DC Universe and even a Marvel MMO in the works. Just based on the sheer number of betas I’ve been signing up for recently it seems like the superheros genre is not the only one that is going to face this kind of expansion. (looking at you post-apocalyptic genre)

*May have a second post later today, I’m busy falling back in love with pen and paper RPGs and trying to decide how I should take the Siofra story further…*
