Robot Entertainment has posted a brief note to its community that Orcs Must Die! Unchained is closing on April 8, 2019. Two of the company's other games, Hero Academy and Hero Academy 2, will also close down on that date. All three games will be playable through April 8th and players will "receive a substantial free grant of hard and soft currencies to enjoy the remaining weeks of live play". Hi all, It's painful to even write this. We are sorry to say that we will be closing down Orcs Must Die! Unchained, Hero Academy, and Hero Academy 2. Making and supporting a game is a long and challenging journey. Along the way, there are plenty of highs and plenty of lows. The communities who play our games join us on these journeys. We know this decision affects our players as much as it does us. We've kept these games operating at a financial loss for many months. Unfortunately, it's no longer sustainable for us to do so. We must shift our focus to future games and make our … [Read more...] about Orcs Must Die! Unchained is Closing Down

The Soapbox: Your favorite MMO is going to die
Your favorite MMO is going to die. Don’t take it personally, though; every other MMO is going to shut down, too. That includes my favorites and everyone else’s favorites. Do you like Final Fantasy XIV? It’s going to shut down. WildStar? It’ll shut down. Ultima Online? Oh, yes, the shutdown is coming. The Secret World? Guild Wars 2? The Elder Scrolls Online? Destiny (yes, I meant to leave off the 2, I mean the original)? RIFT, Trove, Black Desert, Revelation Online, Crowfall? All of the above will shut down. But don’t get up in arms about this. Seriously, relax, take a deep breath, maybe hum a little William Shatner tune. All of these games are going to shut down, but that’s just because every single MMO exists in one of three states: not yet launched, shut down, or waiting to be shut down. And as cynical as that may seem, I think accepting that truth is going to do wonders for all of us when it comes time for the next unexpected shutdown. Because … [Read more...] about The Soapbox: Your favorite MMO is going to die
Where Would You Go If YouTube Died? 7 YouTube Alternatives
Just to get started with, pretty much anyone in this internet world if ever needed to upload a video by industrial standards, thinks about YouTube very first moment. This little website where billions of videos are uploaded, viewed and commented upon on a daily basis. YouTube has pretty much become a common platform for both individuals and celebrities alike. Google not only does enjoy a lion’s share of the search market, but also now holds a firm top position in the video industry, thanks to their $1 Billion buyout of YouTube. YouTube is the world’s third most visited website according to Alexa, and that simply gives an unbeatable advantage over its competition. YouTube has become the to-go place to watch anything and everything ranging from funny cat videos to music videos and instructional and educational videos alike. A healthy internet strives on competition. There can’t be only a single player in a game, in that case, it isn’t a game! Just like everything … [Read more...] about Where Would You Go If YouTube Died? 7 YouTube Alternatives
KoM Does Ascalonian Catacombs
Last Saturday night, the stars must have aligned because I finally managed to cobble a Guild Wars 2 group together for Knights of Mercy’s first completed run of Ascalonian Catacombs. Ultimately we had one level 80 (Kahill), one 60ish (Bippa), one 40ish (Kriin), and two 35s (myself and the mister) but in keeping with the game’s philosophy of level and adjustment we were all scaled down to the story-mode dungeon’s appropriate level of 30. Before I begin, I want to separate and make a distinction between the overall experience I had (it was a blast!) from my thoughts and opinions of the actual instance itself (on this matter I have a lot on my mind). I’ll just start by saying this — whether you will enjoy AC (or I guess GW2 instances by extension) will be heavily dependent upon your personality type and on the reasons why you choose to do group instanced content. If you like the traditional order and planning that goes into an instance run, can appreciate the … [Read more...] about KoM Does Ascalonian Catacombs
