S01E22 title screen

This week we sit down with Mark Jacobs and discuss his Kickstarter project: Camelot Unchained. Our conversation ranges from what to expect in the game to going over his founding principles and getting to the bottom of what he wants his game to become. Camelot Unchained looks to bring old school RVR/PVP ideals to a modern game. While not shooting for a AAA game created to support millions of players; Mark Jacobs hopes to fashion a game for RVR players only. Not sacrificing design to make everyone happy, Camelot Unchained hopes to bring RVR to its niche market.

Keep reading to watch the interview.

Beta leaks are of those unfortunate things that seems to happen when you bundle together a highly-anticipated game in development with a closed beta and the wonders of the Internet. The MMORPG community can be a little rabid when it comes to new information at times, especially when it comes to games that are high on their radar. Take The Elder Scrolls Online for example. Radar aplenty.

Fans of The Elder Scrolls are curious how an MMORPG set in the same universe will pan out. MMORPG fans who are just hungry for a lore-rich world, fun dungeons and raids, and an open-ended class system have also taken notice. Crafters and RPers are curious. There’s also the PvP community who hopped aboard the second the development team uttered that tasty “raid vs. raid” phrase. TESO is gaining popularity among the MMORPG community, and that’s awesome. What’s isn’t as awesome is the effect that beta leaks sometimes have on that community.

information roundup title

Thanks to an awesome collection of recent media and press coverages, we now know a whole lot more about Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls Online (and let me just say– things are looking promising!). The trouble is that all of the news and interesting pieces of information are scattered across the ‘net and hidden in articles and videos. We’re here to help! Here is an organized list of bulletpoint-sized tidbits perfect for a quick read-through. We’ve even organized them based on subject.

With PAX this weekend, we may recieve more information as the weekend unfolds. Stay tuned! In the meantime, this list contains current pre-PAX info. If you notice anything we’ve missed, feel free to drop us a line in the comments section below!

The-Latest-Buzz

Check out the latest hands on impressions of The Elder Scrolls online with Massively.

Though ESO employs a traditional questing system — complete with speaking to NPCs, accepting tasks, and turning them in for rewards — you aren’t put on rails that lead you from quest hub to quest hub. There’s a main storyline that you can direct your attention to immediately, or you can put it on the back burner and occupy yourself with myriad side missions. I wandered around outside of the first area for a few minutes to get acquainted with the controls, and within minutes, my quest log looked completely different from the log of the fellow playing next to me, ZAM’s Scott Hawkes.

Each NPC you encounter is fully voiced, which brings life to what would otherwise be unread quest text. Like other Elder Scrolls titles, your conversations with the denizens of Tamriel involve making dialogue choices that blend clues about quest objectives with bits of lore and flavor. Sometimes these choices have a noticeable impact on the story and your interactions with others.

Check out the rest of the article, where Richie Procopio talks about his Sorcerer with his Dark Magic skills like Daedric Summoning and Storm Calling.

Join Junkies Nation in helping our walker get ready for her walk to help Fight Breast Cancer through the Avon Foundation. Junkies Nation is proud to be part of the fight against breast cancer and we hope that you join us with a small donation.

Our walker is committed to participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. It’s a big commitment, one that will require me to spend the next several months training and fundraising. But breast cancer is a big disease, one that still affects far too many people, and she is determined to do everything she can to help put an end to it.

This walk is being dedicated to her mother, a breast cancer survivor.

The money she raises will be managed and disbursed by the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade to help provide access to care for those who most need it, fund educational programs, and accelerate research into new treatments and potential cures. She’ll be just one of thousands of people who will walk up to 39.3 miles over two days, raising awareness promoting education.

She can’t do this without your help, please donate now.
