		<title>Bad Sign? Global Agenda goes Free-to-Play</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi-Rez Studios, the creators of Global Agenda, has decided to get rid of the subscription fee and stop calling it an MMO. Okay, maybe not the latter but they&#8217;ve definitely decided on the former. So, what prompted this change to the shooter that wants to be an MMO? Without any direct information, of course, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Second Life&#8217;s Looking for a Third</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems Linden Labs, the company that built and runs Second Life, is restructuring&#8211;which is a nice way of saying they&#8217;re tossing some people out on the street. The question is why? Supposedly, they cleared 30% more transactions (of which they get a small cut) year-over-year in the first quarter of 2010. In other words, [...]]]></description>

		<title>LOTRO Gives Itself Away For Free</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, Turbine seems to feel DDO&#8217;s F2P success is contagious enough to switch LOTRO over to the F2P model. Cheapskates around the world will cheer this fall&#8230; Seriously, though, I&#8217;m not sure if this is going to be a new trend (i.e. start with subs then migrate to F2P as the game loses momentum and [...]]]></description>

		<title>SWTOR: More class info adds complexity but do we need it?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[BioWare put out some more updates on the class system, namely more info on the Sith Warrior and Advanced Classes. Sith Warrior Class Frankly, I haven&#8217;t really been following every little detail of what they&#8217;ve been posting so I don&#8217;t really know what the &#8220;update&#8221; is beyond noticing the Marauder specialization, which I&#8217;m guessing was [...]]]></description>

		<title>SWTOR: Combat Video</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorta old news (by a few days but, you know, it&#8217;s the Internet), but BioWare posted a video going over combat (at a high level) in Star Wars: The Old Republic. It all looks great. Bounty Hunters using grapples to pull a ranged enemy into melee range, ranged types (I&#8217;m guessing still Bounty Hunters / [...]]]></description>

		<title>APB Subscription Model: Hourly?!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As much as I&#8217;m looking forward to APB from Realtime Worlds (and anticipating doing the same thing over and over again, no matter how custom I can make my car will lose its luster pretty quick), I&#8217;m not sure what to make of the hourly scheme they&#8217;re trying to use for this game. According to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Global Agenda&#8217;s Coming!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been playing the beta and it&#8217;s been fun though there are some things that are making me think the launch ain&#8217;t gonna be too smooth. Some basic MMO tools are missing (social mostly), and it&#8217;s something of a pain to comm when you&#8217;re in FPS mode and you have to remember to hit enter [...]]]></description>

		<title>STO: Long-term Subs Offered</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cryptic&#8217;s put out a little bit about their lifetime and annual subscription plans. The real question is: is it worth it? It&#8217;ll really come down to how long you think you&#8217;ll play it and how long you think it&#8217;ll last. I&#8217;m wagering that unless it really fizzles (and it could) or unless Cryptic does a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Star Champions Online</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;ve started trekking around the galaxy in Star Trek Online&#8217;s Open Beta. First impression? Talk about code reuse. The ground component (where you&#8217;re running around with your main character in space stations or on planets) is SO much like Champions Online. The difference is less cel-shading and more legible text. Meanwhile, the space part [...]]]></description>

		<title>STO: Open Beta Limits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It looks like the Open Beta is starting off with the usual thud. There are login issues currently. Also, it looks like the open beta is limited to the &#8220;lower levels&#8221; to begin with according to a news bit that only seems to be available to you if you&#8217;re in the open beta: Open Beta [...]]]></description>
