There have been quite a stir in the minds of savvy MMO gamers. And I have prepared a wishlist that can help game developers make quite an impression of revolutionizing the world of MMO development. Just hoping to contribute ideas and concepts to make the MMO games more fun and have great experience to play with.

Games-Masters.com today announced the launch of a brand new tournament server for their hit free-to-play MMORPG CABAL Online. Known as the CABALYMPICS 2010, the tournament will pit players from across Europe against one another in a series of in-game challenges for prizes totalling over 5000 Euros. The contest will last for a total of twelve weeks and will allow players to transfer their characters at the end of the tournament to one of the games other three servers.

Rings Online expansion Siege of Mirkwood has been out for almost a month now, and players are beginning to get a good feel for how things work in the new areas. However, some of the most enjoyable areas can also be the most complicated, and there is a lot to figure out.

Merric from A Casual Stroll to Mordor is helping with this, and has started a great guide to the skirmish rewards system. The first two parts are all about cosmetic clothing and items, and we have to say it is a very thorough job. The first guide includes a quick explanation of skirmish marks and how they drop, and follow up with a chart including each type of mark, a screenshot of the tooltip, and where it can be found. Scroll down a bit more and you will find a similar chart featuring each type of cosmetic clothing available and the requirements to acquire it. Part two, released this morning, carries the same format and covers items such as cloaks and backpacks.

A powerful Monster Army has invaded the Merac Castle! Defeat them all within 20 minutes, and you will be rewarded for your valor!

The castle in Merac has been taken over by new occupants. Monsters from the underbelly of Iris have infested the castle. Every bridge and courtyard has been taken control by some sort of foul smelling beast. It is up to the adventurers of Iris to take the Castle back from the monsters and restore order to the land. So grab your friends and band together, this is going to take some serious team work.

As a special holiday treat, we have got four sets of absolutely free Guild Wars papercraft models for your assembling enjoyment.

Each Tuesday in December we will release a new model (or model set), culminating in the largest and most ambitious papercraft model we have ever attempted. We will not tell you what it is, but save room at the top of your tree!

Download a .PDF of each model, print it out on heavy paper or card stock, and build it with scissors, glue, and a little patience. When you are done, you will have a paper Guild Wars model fit for a mantel piece or holiday display!

Two exclusive challenges on DOFUS 2.0

In the early stages of a new server your main objective is to level up as quickly as possible to become part of the most powerful players on your server. We would like to offer two alternative challenges!

Be the first character to reach level 100 in a profession and earn a unique object and a title that will attest to your performance! There is an item and a title in-game for each profession!

Play collectively and be the first on your server to level a guild to 30, and in doing so, win a paddock for the guild!

These challenges are available on all DOFUS 2.0 servers: Crocoburio, Li Crounch, Farle, Agrid, Bowisse, Nomekop, Zatoïshwan and Aermyne.

No matter what you celebrate at this time of year, everyone here at Sony Online Entertainment wishes you a very magical holiday, and a happy new year! We hope all your wishes come true!
