Is there a place for MMO magazines?
In the vein of the World of Warcraft magazine, Massively reports that NCSoft has announced a magazine for the MMORPG Aion. The Aion magazine also features bonus Wow Gold in-game items for players who pre-order, such as armor dyes and consumables. Unlike the quarterly wow europe account World of Warcraft magazine, the Aion magazine will be digital-only and come out every four weeks, or roughly every month. The magazine announcement actually begs the question about whether there's much sense in publishing magazines for an MMO, a constantly evolving and growing game. .
I'll have a better idea of what to think when my magazine actually arrives. Sure, I live in Asia, but I paid my $69. Online magazines are just one web browser away. ff14 gil But it's now March and nothing has arrived in the mail, so that's a big minus for print subscriptions right there. The World of Warcraft magazine, on the other hand, was due to come out in the 4th quarter last wow plugins year but encountered a few bumps along the road and was pushed back ever so slightly.95 just like everybody else. Kwurky can only keep me amused for so long, after all. Aion's digital-only magazine will presumably be available for download, giving instant gratification. That's the other thing. I'd almost forgotten about it, actually, but Massively's post about Aion's mag reminded me and got me more than a little upset that I haven't gotten my copy two months after folks started getting theirs. When we learned that it finally started shipping early this year, I was pretty stoked to get my hands on one. .
Aion's digital magazine might make a little more sense in that it does away with any shipping times and possible complications. But the World of read books Warcraft magazine? Unless you were at BlizzCon, where you got a free Kwurky plushie by pre-ordering, there's not much incentive to get a print magazine about the ever-changing World of Warcraft. It also comes out every four weeks, which should be frequent enough for feature stories and the like. In that regard, the Aion magazine doesn't seem like such a bad idea. The Aion magazine spices things up by giving in-game items with the purchase, not unlike Blizzard's offering of plushies which come with in-game pets. .
I subscribed to the World of Warcraft magazine mostly out of a love for the print medium, even though I'm well aware that the information published therein could be made obsolete by a single patch or hotfix. That said, the World of Warcraft magazine looked gorgeous from the previews and chinese game info from an artistic standpoint, I always believed there was value in a well-made and laid out publication.

Most of the WoW. The game changes so fast and so often that the entire team scrambles to get posts up every time something big happens in the game. It's hard to imagine a print magazine that comes out quarterly having the same relevance, especially when it talks about game strategy. If there's anything the magazine has, it's chock-full of gorgeous art from some of the best fantasy artists in the industry. Still, I subscribed because I just love looking at art. There simply wasn't any way for it to keep its information up to date with the game, making it less valuable as a resource.com team passed on the World of Warcraft magazine for practical reasons. .
Unless, of course, you just like gorgeous art. Does Aion's launch of their own magazine mean there's actually some sense in MMO magazines? It's difficult to compare print and digital, obviously, but the idea is the same. I bought the Art of the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game coffee table book just to ogle, so maybe I'm predisposed to getting the magazine, anyway. The magazine also tries to add value by being "collectible" and featuring exclusive interviews with Blizzard developers. Could it Wow Gold Tips indicate that the ffxiv gil World of Warcraft magazine is on to something? Or are both ventures doomed to failure? We'll find out soon enough.
