Leaving that aside for now, pending the supposed SoE/Allaplaya statements due later today, what is Loong like? Well, I only played for an hour or so but it was a good hour. If they can get the IP block sorted out and restore freedom of choice, who knows? Maybe something good could come out of the wreckage. Once you factor out the "sold like chattels" part of the PSS1/Sony deal the whole thing begins to look a little less disturbing. Germany is a big, rich country and one where MMOs seem to be very firmly established.
They host Drakensang and Nadirim, both of which I've tried, and Battlestar Galactica, which I haven't, it being a shooter. There's an awful lot of MMO activity in Germany, now I come to think of it. Seems to be the week for those, what with the PSS1 thing and all.
Pre-ordered, I suppose you could say, if you can pre-order a game you don't have to order in the first place. I had no idea Gamigo were involved but now I'm signed up. Haven't heard much about it for a while, although there was a video recently. It's an MMO I've had in the back of my mind for a long time, looking forward to giving it a run whenever it appears. Otherland is the MMO based on Tad Williams' sprawling, disturbing cyberpunk/fantasy noir. Having made my Gamigo account, when I came to add Loong to my list of games I planned to play on it I noticed a familiar name: Otherland. Obviously no real point starting a Gamigo account, then. They even have a Golf MMO, and they're welcome to it. They have several more and others in development. Fiesta, which certainly gets a lot of advertising, none of which has ever made me consider trying it, King of Kings, which I did once play for about half an hour and Black Prophecy, which crops up on Massively now and again largely to my complete lack of interest. They host a lot of MMOs including a few I'd heard of. I googled and found it on the Gamigo portal where I had a choice: sign up for Loong alone or make a Gamigo account to play any of their games. I'd never heard of it, which was provocation enough without the praise on top. "Smooth as butter and polished", she said. She mentioned that she was playing something called Loong Online.
