New MMO magazine

[Craig234]

I've been disappointed by all but one of the PC gaming magazines I subscribed to shutting down. Of two MMO magaznes, only Becket is still in business.

At the Sony Fan Faire, I met the head of a new MMO magazine, Massive Gamer. I met a couple of the staff as well. The CEO is a long-time MMO gamer.

They seem like nice people, and I liked what I saw. The pilot issue of the magazine is quite big, 88 pages of mostly text with almost no ads. It's monthly.

It seems like a small operation, the kind where someone who knows magazines borrows startup money from a friend and is publishing.

They said they don't want the magazine to be WoW dominated, though they'll cover it. The first issue's cover and a number of stories are about Age of Conan.

Here's a link if you want to see more info and subscribe:

I told them I'd post a thread here, because I like to see a magazine like this do ok.

Many massive gamers will enjoy this.

Most Electronic entertainment magazines are slowly dying. Their content has moved to the Internet, where its free and available much much quicker than a printed magazine.

Yeah, I've decided not to subscribe to the game mags anymore. What few are left. (I'm still keeping MaximumPC but its not a game mag even though they do some game reviews) In today's world they are becoming obsolete. The Net has better info and faster now. Also I prefer to watch a video review rather than read it text wise.

How's this work, you get the first issue for $40, and then pay $15 every month after that?

Most print EVERYTHING is dying. Not much point in it when you have the net. At the least they have to do both- put out a magazine and maintain a website.
