In this week's MMOFTW, we cover everything from Rift's Conquest 1.9 Patch, to The Secret World's last beta weekend, Firefall's MGU, the Dino-Storm Beta, and an exclusive reveal for TERA. Check it out!
I'm glad that sound issue got fixed. Now I can keep my MMO addiction raging with one more place to see what is going on. This site is the perfect place for a weekly news video. Nice work!

Great show Bill. I dont think youre quite to the "Casey Schreiner" standard yet, but you are well on your way. Absolutely love watching the show evolve week after week, keep it up :)
I was impressed by the first MMOFTW but they seem to be getting worse each week.
From a production values standpoint they are very well done. The technolosgy is great, the 4 screens are great as is the timing of what they play on the screens.
What is alcking is useful information. The MMO news information is close to non existent.
Bill Murphy is not made for TV. His voice is terrible its grating and his timing is poor. His looks are also terrible. The sweat suit he is wearing looks terrible. He should just stick to wearing his pajamas I am sure they woiuld look just as good. The air under his chin is also disturbing. It simply looks bad and unprofessional. The Murphy cmedy alos gets old very quick. Its the same joke over and over.
While the production values are great it could be so much beter with a more polished host and with actual useful and more in depth information.
My suggestion would be to hire someone who has actually been in the MMO industry and knows something about MMOs to run the show. There has been lots of dev talent that has been laid off the last few months. Look no further than ToR. That or use guest hosts. You could bring in a lot of expertise and interesting insights using guest hosts. I am sure Brad McQuaid, Richard Garriot, Curt Schilling and many others have quite a lot of free time. Not to mention Schilling needs money now that he has lost all of his $50 million in life savings.
Mr.Murphy imo does a GREAT job,i like the personality,it is a happy ,fun persona,one which i agree with.
I agree the production value is VERY good.
The bad ??? well i will use one word and i think anyone that pays attention a little ,will know what i am eluding to >>>DISGUISED video.
It is not something that bothers me much,i just like to keep things always pointing to the truth,no matter anyone's agenda.
If we keep this segment real and not a disguise,i think i would give it a 8/10 for sure,a very good job by all.Heck i don't even give my fave games an 8/10.
I think I know what you're implying. But honest to god, we actually just pick the few most "interesting" game-related stories we see come across the desk each week and write the report on them. We don't have much time (we're trying to keep it around five minutes), so what ends up happening is that we focus on the stuff that makes the biggest splash.
I'll be trying to work in little guys (like Dino-Storm) more often.
As for anything else I say that might be construed as "disguised" whatever, I write these segments with my own thoughts and editorial comments... it's not disguised at all. I <3 SMITE for instance. :)
I am suprised that it took TERA so long to launch the chronoscrolls. It doesn't bother me, but I've had one for almost half a year now... looking forward to some in game cash just for the lols.

Enjoy watching these! Great job bill but lol what's with the running aspect at the start ? It's alittle weird/freaky ha

I like the videos. I for one am not expecting a whole news crew with a weather and sports man. No need to "hire" someone else, cause I am sure when the decision to do this came, Bill (the owner of the site to my understanding) was going to do it for free, so thats why he is doing it I am assuming.
But this isn't the same as reporting crime in new york city, cause I would venture that many weeks, not alot will be going on. I am not looking for news that will knock my socks off, just a taste of what is going on out there.
hrm, can't edit my comment but another world/IP I'd love to see WELL made into an MMO would be His Dark Materials. I don't have much hope for a quality version to ever be made though.
@Mage_Francis why would you waste your time posting about a post about a game they dont like? What point are you even making? People talking about a game, on a game website is speaking on topic.
@rdrakken your comment does nothing to further any discussion currently happening here. Your comment barely makes any sense at all, actually. My point is pretty clear, but you just want to act like troll so I guess I ultimately lose trying to use any reason with you.
If I could make a constructive comment, I would say perhaps and some type of background music would help divert attention from the short pauses in speaking.
Oh, sidenote, I think it was good. It's not easy to speak to a camera, and you did it well. I know how difficult it is, lol, since I always just do audio. Good good. ^^
Too bad I don't like Tera. Seems pretty cool you can simply earn your game time by playing. Nice job on episode. I agree with nether, gets better every time. Can't wait til next week.
Simply Awesome!
Mon Jun 25 2012 7:54AM ReportCool cast once again, although you seem to forget not all of your audience is from the USA ^^

Mon Jun 25 2012 6:26PM ReportI love these episodes! They are witty and enjoyable to watch and I always find somehting in them I have not heard/seen yet.
Keep it up Bill, it is becoming an addiction!

Mon Jun 25 2012 8:11PM Reportcool video.
terrible games .. cept rift. not for me but not terrible.
Mon Jun 25 2012 11:49PM ReportAs usual, MMORPG.COM is a day late and a dollar short. Because anyone who has played Tera, already knew about the Chronoscrolls coming months ago.
Tue Jun 26 2012 12:41AM ReportBut no one knew the date of their release. That's the news we were given by En Masse themselves, Czanrei. ;)
@Elikal, it's actually a Citizen EcoDrive!
Tue Jun 26 2012 6:00AM ReportI'm liking these vids. But I'll like it more if you're a hot gamer chick, namely Pokket. You guys need more vids of her doing...anything.
Tue Jun 26 2012 7:54AM ReportThis gets better every week. Keep up the good work.
Tue Jun 26 2012 12:13PM ReportToo bad I don't like Tera. Seems pretty cool you can simply earn your game time by playing. Nice job on episode. I agree with nether, gets better every time. Can't wait til next week.
