Sometimes you'd like to know that there are other MMOs out there, right? Our sister site Massively (http://www.massively.com/) can provide you with everything you need to know about all those other shiny MMOs! Check out this roundup of the latest news from the wider MMO world. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2009/11/529528977g2450354y_thumbnail.jpg (http://www.massively.com/2009/11/09/its-official-star-trek-online-releases-february-2nd-2010/) It's official: Star Trek Online releases February 2nd, 2010 (http://www.massively.com/2009/11/09/its-official-star-trek-online-releases-february-2nd-2010/)
It looks like the rumors were true and Star Trek Online will indeed be hitting in early February, 2010. The dates are February 2nd in North America and February 5th in Europe, so start warming up your nacelles now because it won't be long before we'll all be warping into Cryptic's first non-superhero title. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2009/11/imperialagent-rb-1106_thumbnail.jpg (http://www.massively.com/2009/11/06/star-wars-the-old-republic-reveals-its-newest-class/) Star Wars: The Old Republic reveals Imperial Agent its newest class (http://www.massively.com/2009/11/06/star-wars-the-old-republic-reveals-its-newest-class/)
We've got Trooper, Smuggler, Jedi Knight, Bounty Hunter, Sith Warrior, and now Imperial Agent. BioWare revealed the sixth class for Star Wars: The Old Republic today on their forums. This news comes as absolutely no surprise to those who attended the EA Press Tour earlier this week -- they enjoyed advance information from producer Blaine Christine. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2009/11/r39814gbt49834t-1257800782_thumbnail.jpg (http://www.massively.com/2009/11/09/rumor-80-more-layoffs-hit-mythic/) 80 more layoffs hit Warhammer Online developers (http://www.massively.com/2009/11/09/rumor-80-more-layoffs-hit-mythic/)
Gamasutra is reporting that another 80 layoffs have hit Mythic Entertainment as well as several other Electronic Arts studios, although Mythic was the only MMO group to feel the sting of sudden unemployment. That would equate to 40% of the team, which would make for a brutal staff blow. Our best wishes go out to everyone finding themselves without a job and we sincerely hope they all find steady work as soon as possible.
