After playing Tera as an assassin during E3, I was dubious of the fun you can have without target locking in an FPS. As a squashy DPS character going up against a dragon, I found that I spent more time being stomped on by the close-range AoE attacks than actually doing any damage.

Richard covers the changing funding models used across MMOs and asks if freemium is future.

You know how when you’re playing a game, there’s always a tiny voice reminding you that are real-world things you could be achieving? Mine gets louder during MMO grind-fests and other repetitive games like Spore. When I know that everything I’m working towards will be gone in [...]
