Is there a place for MMO magazines? wow gold

In the vein of the World of Warcraft magazine, Massively reports that NCSoft has announced a magazine for the MMORPG Aion. Unlike the quarterly World of Warcraft magazine, the Aion magazine will be digital-only and come out every four weeks, or roughly every month. The Aion magazine also features bonus in-game items for players who pre-order, such as armor dyes and consumables. 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 subscribed to the World of Warcraft magazine mostly out of a love for the print medium, even though nbmishini I'm well aware that the information published therein could be made obsolete by a single patch or hotfix. Working for WoW.com, I understand the value of online content which can be updated very quickly and frequently. Best of all, most online magazines (as opposed to Aion's digital format) are free. That said, the World of Warcraft magazine looked gorgeous from the previews and from an artistic standpoint, I always believed there was value in a well-made and laid out publication.
Nintendo platforms had a commanding wow gold presence on NPD Group's U.S. retail wow gold top 20 video game software sales chart for December, made available to Gamasutra this morning.
Seven of the top 20 games were available wow gold on Nintendo Wii, while six were for Nintendo DS, for a total of 13 Nintendo wow gold platform games on the list. Four Xbox 360 games and three PlayStation 3 games made the list.
Nintendo was the publisher with the most titles to break into the top 20, leading the way wow gold with nine games. Ubisoft and Electronic Arts followed with three, and Sega and Activision Blizzard with two each.
According to Wedbush wow gold Morgan's Michael Pachter, 114 titles sold over 100,000 units in December 2009, so all games wow gold in December's top 20 sold significantly more than 100,000 units -- although NPD Group only provided exact sales figures for the top 10.
I'll have a better idea of what to think when my magazine actually arrives. That's the other thing. Aion's digital-only magazine will presumably be available for download, giving instant gratification. Online magazines are just one web browser away. The World of Warcraft magazine, on the other hand, was due to come out in the 4th quarter last year but encountered a few bumps along the road and was pushed back ever so slightly. When we learned that it finally started shipping early this year, I was pretty stoked to get my hands on one. But it's now March and nothing has arrived in the mail, so that's a big minus for print subscriptions right there. Sure, I live in Asia, but I paid my $69.95 just like everybody else. 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. Kwurky can only keep me amused for so long, after all.
