The Old Republic goes all EVE-y.

Bioware have released more information about their upcoming science fiction-opera MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic. People have been able to sign up their guilds for some time now, in readiness for the launch. PC Gamer have already started setting up their US and EU guilds, and you can join today.

Today's news is that the guilds will have the ability to set up other guilds as allies or enemies, lending a EVE-like air to the game, even ahead of launch. I was considering cancelling my pre-order, but with the emergence of inter-factional wars, I'm rather more excited than I was before. I can't wait for my first inter-guild war to erupt. It lends an atmosphere to PvP that other games just can't scratch.

Go Imperials!

My Craft of MineWorld.

In news that'll make Minecraft fans shudder, Minecraft and World of Warcraft have been combined to make... Mine of Worldcraft! Whilst not the snappiest title, it has a certain something about it.

But hey, it's all for good humour, and the video certainly takes the piss out of traditional MMOs, listing class roles as either 'watching enemy red bars go down, 'watching friendly green bars go up' or 'can stand in front of enemies while being told how incompetent he is and then blaming it on the Healer'.

No word on whether this is actually around for people to play, or just a video. With enough publicity, it may well become real.
