WOW Clone! What a popular phrase in MMORPG news' comments! However, this may not be fit for today's new game ---- 1 VS 100, a game without monster hunting or kills. Will this game break the curse of WOW and win players' hearts to become another "Slumdog Millionaire"? Let's keep an eye on games of this style!
The beta for Microsoft's Xbox Live game show MMO "1 vs 100" will begin Monday, June 1, the company announced today.
| 1 vs 100 - Trailer |
The large-scale game will see one player competing against a mob of 100 others in a series of trivia challenges for a Microsoft Point prize. The live game is hosted by Chris Cashman, with "Extended Play" sessions open for competition when the show is not airing.
1 vs 100 offers contestants an increasingly high payout as the trivia progresses. The longer the single player answers questions correctly, the more the prize increases, with the "mob" of 100 thinning as they answer incorrectly. The single player can choose to take the prize at any time; if the "one" answers a question incorrectly, the mob splits the purse. The max payout stands at 10,000 Microsoft Points (125 dollars). |
The Xbox Live crowd can also compete, with the top three audience members taking home prizes at the end of each show. The top crowd members also raise their chances of being selected to play as a mob member, or as the one.

Pretty stupid how some people call this a WOW clone. I certainly understand that WOW is big in the US as the US have not evolved in the future mmo genre but do
understand that the art styles of Tera, Lineage 2, ZerA are very similar because it's KOREAN MODERN CONCEPT ART (fit in your head) just like WOW has very weird art styles, asians go for a very commercial and attractive look. I look forward to playing Tera since the gameplay looks wicked and the UI is plain and simple. If you are not into korean MMOs and only support games such as WOW then don't play. Though I'm sure TerA will set fire just like Blade & Soul will.
WoW is EQ clone its a fact do ur research if u think its not. And wow WAS the "shit" pre bc. Onyxia, Molten Core, BWL NAxxx 40 man raids were the BEST which made WOW the BEST MMORPG but since BC came it became a grindfest then blizzard decided 2 nerf the name 2 the ground ( no req to get into hyjal or black temple ) and now they just nerf'd the shit outa ulduar so GG blizzard 4 killing a great MMO but its not their fault its the QQing noobs that think game was 2 hard to play. Anyway Guild Wars 2 will kill WoW 
Facebook, haha. Is that what Sony really thinks? Sorry, but they are wrong. Of course WoW will *eventually* be dwarfed by *something*. Game technology keeps evolving, graphics, gameplay, etc. One day it will be taken over by something. But not by a Facebook MMO. I'm sure that someone at Sony has a daughter that is like "All my friends and I are on Facebook!" and that affects their thinking, but the reality is, that isn't the lauchpad for the next big thing, just because it is a social place and you already have an account. You can make an account at a new game within 60 seconds, it's not a big deal to do so. It doesn't have to be somewhere you already have accounts. Plus, you are using Facebook for different reasons than to play games. There are a billion people there that have no interest in MMO's. Are Sony exects that ignorant?
Its so good to live in 2009. Some online games have really good graphics and psp games are also getting better this year(I have the psp (hahahaha!!!!))
Happy happy birthday MMOsite!
a great article. your and my experience does not have much differences and i also like enjoying the game's sorroundings and doing quest with a group of people but having too much botters and cheaters really destroys my gaming experience.
