Pinterest is definitely on a roll! No other social media outlet has gained the traction as compared to Pinterest. The company has quickly out-grown from its ‘another social media’-site to a global leader, and it has achieved it with some aplomb! The company is now at a staggering $5 Billion valuation, which makes it the fourth most valued social network in the USA, behind Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. A recent study by Pinterest analytics lab – Ahalogy adds that Pinterest has surpassed Twitter in popularity in the USA. The site receives over 53 Million monthly active users. Although the gender gap between male and female Pinterest users is widening, over 80% of women make up active Pinterest users. A study by RichRelevance has shown that the average spending of a Pinterest is far greater than that of a Facebook user. Here are useful Pinterest tools that are covered in this mega … [Read more...] about 11 Pinterest Tools To Make Your Pinterest Account Shine

This is part 3 of the series “Housing in MMOs”. After looking at Lord of the Rings Online and Aion, I will focus on Rift today. The most important difference to other games is that you do not get a “house” in Rift. You get a “dimension“. This dimension is a small instanced map of a region that exists in the actual game. So, you will not be able to get just any region in the open world. But you can buy a dimension version of it – as long as Trion Worlds added it as a dimension, of course. Not all areas are available, as you can probably imagine, since the world maps of MMOs are usually very large. Before I get into any details, let me point you to the video I made. I have found two very pretty “Shoreward Island” dimensions. The first part of the video shows the dimension “Shoreward Island” in its empty state (I have a few items in there, but they’re not shown as they are inside the tower). The second part shows … [Read more...] about Housing in MMOs: Rift

There are many things I want and expect from MMOs and one thing is housing. I love feeling as if I was in a virtual world and for me, having a little home in there that I can customize is just part of it. I’ve been what I call a “housing tourist” in some MMOs… this is like an MMO tourist who travels through MMOs always looking for “the perfect one”, only that I did not check out the MMOs themselves, but mainly the housing features, hoping to find an MMO that satisfies my needs when it comes to player housing. So I decided to start this little series giving short introductions to housing in some of the MMOs I’ve been playing. I will try to give relatively short overviews of how housing works in each of those MMOs. The first one will be the first MMO with housing that I played: Lord of the Rings Online. This is my house. I had first played Lotro during their open beta for a short bit. The setting was great, but it didn’t offer me more than … [Read more...] about Housing in MMOs: Lord of the Rings Online

Good morning, Internet! There’s a surprising amount going on right now. We just had a new adventure in SMITE in “Hel’s Inner Demon Arena”, Khan arrives today in Paladins and I got to sit down with Paladins Strike again for the first time in what feels like ages. No patch notes this week, but I did learn that in a few patches we’ll get a new god for Smite, so that’ll be exciting. Maybe we’ll get our first Voodoo god (with my money on Baron Samedi). I know I say “every week” that I have a brief news piece, but this time I actually mean it! You know, probably! So today I’m going to talk about those things briefly, and how they’re going so far. As another side note, MMOHutsLive is well, live on Twitch! So click that link at the bottom and follow, and consider dropping a sub, if you enjoy our site’s content! SMITE: Inner Demon Arena: We died, but Trunath got a triple kill. That's what matters. This is a new way to … [Read more...] about Hirez Roundup #23: House Aico A-Gogo

This is part 2 of the “Housing in MMOs” series. Part 1 was looking at Lord of the Rings Online. Today’s MMO is Aion. This blog post was largely written by thevalliant and edited by me in some parts. While I did play around with my free studio in Aion, I really don’t know that much more about housing in the game, so I asked somebody who does. When reading this article, please keep in mind that we both play on the European servers which are handled by Gameforge while the US servers are still handled by NCsoft. There may be differences in details like item shops, etc. between those two versions. There are 5 types of residences in Aion: studios, houses, mansions, estates and palaces, in order of grandeur. These can be found in three areas for each race (Elyos and Asmodians): two ‘contested’ areas (where PvP may occur) and one ‘neutral’ area, that is the main ‘residential area’ for each race, Oriel (Elyos) and Pernon (Asmodians). … [Read more...] about Housing in MMOs: Aion
