Starwars: The Old Replublic Gameplay Walkthrough

Bioware recently released over 20 minutes of Star Wars: The Old Republic gameplay footage, narrated by the developers themselves and walking you through a few of the games aspects and features, including a decent look at three of the classes in the game (Bounty Hunter, Smuggler, Sith) and also a sneak peak at some of the games planets. From Korriban, the original Sith homeworld housing the tombs of many ancient and powerful Dark Lords of the Sith and containing tremendous dark side power, to Hutta home of the Hutt’s and Ord Mantell.

The videos will introduce you to not only three of the available classes, but also to some basic combat and a explanation of the “flash point” system. The story mode is shown and explains how a simple decision the player makes can and will introduce changes to the upcoming story line and effect the events ingame. You will also see the ridiculous effort they put into creating a custom voice for EVERY NPC in the game.

Overall I would have to say I am very excited, and while I didn’t see anything groundbreaking graphics wise, I’m hoping that this will end up being the replacement for Warcraft I have been looking for.

Borderlands Release in Two Months!

Borderlands. A steampunkish, gorey, multiplayer roleplaying first person shooter set in the wastelands of an alien planet called Pandora.  NEED I say more?  This is the most excitement I’ve had about the release of a video game since Duke Nukem Forever when I was 14.  Which most will remember never got released.  I think the gameplay video alone speaks for itself.  I will be anxiously waiting to get my hands on this!

World of Warcraft Addiction or Demonic Possession?

Is this WoW addiction, or demonic possession?  Mogs.com does not have a priest to perform an exorcism, and we are not addiction specialists either, but we are pretty sure this kid needs some help.   This YouTube video really makes one wonder, WoW addiction, demonic possession, or perhaps both?  You be the judge.  Let us know what you think!

Cleaning Up the RMT Industry

IGE.com, a well known player in the RMT industry, recently sent out an important newsletter to its customers regarding the current state of RMT and some of the solutions to the problems we have all been seeing. Rampant in-game advertising, unethical outsourcing, and other fraudulent and blackhat techniques used to ultimately take advantage of you, the consumer.

Real Money Trading (RMT) is defined as the exchange of real money for ingame items or currency. This is an industry that was originally started by gamers, for gamers. Here at MOGS that is something we really take to heart. MOGS was born out of a passion for gaming, all of our staff are MMORPG gamers themselves so it helps us have a much deeper-rooted understanding of our customers needs.

Unfortunately, today’s market is not, for the most part, driven by gamer-to-gamer relationships. Instead, we find a multi-billion dollar annual market. We find company after company with little to no accountability. This problem is amplified when you bring venture capitalists into the mix. By pouring money into these illegitimate operations, they are just enabling them to spread in hopes that they can gain a customers trust long enough to take their money. Due to their lack of service quality these companies cannot grow organically. They can’t retain customers so they must resort to in-game advertising, click-jacking, and fake web storefronts in order to generate sales.

In this day of Fannie Mae, Enron, and the various other corporate accountability scandals that have hit major media here in the states, we may have become accustomed to this, but that doesn’t mean we should stand for it.

Regulators, Mount up.

In January of 2009, IGE started reaching out to some of the other RMT companies within this industry, explaining their goal of building a group of trusted sites dedicated to implementing some standardization within our industry. By working together and banding with some of the other legitimate RMT providers, we hope to make your gold buying experience as safe and secure as possible.

In order to qualify, the company must have adhered to a set of benchmarks that IGE has defined (Thankfully MOGS was already fully compliant). There’s nothing ground breaking here folks, ultimately it breaks down to Google’s very clever motto, “Don’t Be Evil”.

• Zero Tolerance for Fraud
• Ethical Sourcing Policies
• McAfee and VeriSign verified e-commerce sites
• Scrupulous monitoring of systems to prevent malicious activities. Our sites are guaranteed virus free.
• Absolutely NO in-game, or email spam
• Expert, English speaking and comprehensive customer service
• Clear and documented complaints escalations and refund procedures and policies
• Clear terms of services and privacy policies.
