Please don't screw this up...

If you were paying attention to the news lately you probably know last few weeks were not good for Everquest franchise. After SOE has been acquired by investment firm Columbus Nova several members of Everquest 2 and Everquest Next teams were laid off. A week after Terry Michaels revealed during livestream that when it comes to Everquest Next the matter of business model is now open for debate and they are considering alternatives to free to play. Also Daybreak will not continue to cooperate with Storybricks. I have finally squeezed some free time out of my packed daily schedule to write about all of this. So here's my view on recent events.

2015 Predictions

If you're fan of MMOs like me chances are good that 2014 was for you a year of disappointment. Every big game that launched had either serious design flaws (Wildstar) or was released without proper testing (ArcheAge) or both (The Elder Scrolls Online). In 2015 we will get no major release and maybe alpha access to 2 MMOs, see below for details. There are few expansions worth checking out. Some already announced and some expected - I'm looking at you Guild Wars 2. To summarize 2015 will not be as interesting as 2014 but there are still few things to watch out for.
