Another day, another contest at Co-Optimus.  This time we're giving away a Collector's Edition of Star Wars: The Old Republic as well as a Prima Games guide for the game.   We've talked about the MMO on a few occasions, now is your chance to check it out for yourself!

If you haven't been playing Bioware's first MMO, you are missing out on something special.  Star Wars: The Old Republic takes some of the best elements from games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age and combines them with World of Warcraft for a truly addictive co-op multiplayer experience.  

Last month for MMO Co-Opportunities we did a little preview of what the latest blockbuster MMO (the Old Republic) may have in store in way of Co-Opportunities. Now, a few weeks after the game's launch, we take and closer and more informed look.

Though The Old Republic is definitely an MMO in the post-WoW mold, what it does with the storyline brings me hope for co-op in future Bioware games. You see, whenever you're in a conversation with an NPC, your entire group attends the conversation with you. If a group member is not in the immediate vicinity, they are given the option to hop on via holographic projection.

After a skipped column in November, we’re back in December for another edition of MMO Co-Opportunities. It’s been exceedingly quiet on the MMO front of late (thus, the skipped November issue), but this month marks the release of Bioware’s first MMO: the Old Republic. Come, let us gossip and geek out about it.

I just got back from this year's New York Comic-Con.  This three day event takes place at the Javitz center right in midtown Manhattan and features plenty of geeky goodness in the form of comics, video games, board games and much more.  This year's NYCC was the biggest yet - taking up almost the entire convention center show floor.  It was JAM PACKED with people, I was amazed at just how crowded it was.  Perhaps...a little too crowded as it was tough to get in to look at all the goods on display.

The last month has been pretty slow for updates on MMOs, but we still have a couple things to report. Let's talk about the SW: The Old Republic release date and City of Heroes going Free-to-Play, shall we?

This month for MMO Co-Opportunities we look at Dragon Nest, a newly open-beta'ed F2P MMO with an action twist and the recently announced various editions of Star Wars: the Old Republic. We also visit the world of MOBAs.

A surprise interview for me at E3 was with Razer founder Robert Krakoff at the company's booth.  After touring some new products on display we sat down for a relaxing chat about the company, PC gaming, and our gaming habits.  

Since this is the first MMO Co-Opportunities of the new year, we'll be looking at some of the anticipated MMOs of 2011 as well as their potential co-opportunities.
