With Final Fantasy XI about to enter its eighth year of existence, the amount of fan support the game continues to receive is nothing short of phenomenal. Not only does the game still inspire fan conventions like Vana Fest, but the developers are still creating new content for players to partake in. At this weekend’s Vana Fest, Square Enix announced three Final Fantasy XI scenario add-ons set to release throughout 2010, at $10 each. The three packs will release in all territories simultaneously, and will be available on all three FFXI platforms–PC, PS2, and Xbox 360.

The three expansions will be named Vision of Abyssea, Scars of Abyssea, and Heroes of Abyssea, with the first expansion (Vision) due this summer. Players will need to have acquired two previous expansion packs–Rise of the Zilart and Wings of the Goddess–to access these three new add-ons.

Any FFXI fans still out there? Are you looking forward to trying out these new parts of that world, or has your vision shifted to Square Enix’s next MMO, Final Fantasy XIV?

In a world dominated by Warcraft, it’s a rare sight to see another MMO make its mark in the marketplace. Aion has managed moderate success in the US to match its dominance in Asia, and it looks like Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited could join them as a standout MMORPG star. Turbine Inc. sent out an announcement today stating that it’s five month old MMO has already amassed over a million members, though it’s tough to discern how many players are paying the publisher.

Turbine does tout a handful of stats regarding revenue and paid subscribers, like the fact that the “paid subscriber base has more than doubled” since launch, that players are making purchases “at three times the industry average,” and that the game’s revenue has jumped over 500 percent since September. It feels like we’re one variable away from figuring out the equation. Of course, there’s a chance that Turbine might reveal to us how many paid subscribers there are in Dungeons & Dragons Online–that’s why we sent a query to Turbine–but trying to figure it out seems like a pretty fun exercise in and of itself.

Has anyone figured out x, if y equals the amount of people playing Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited?

UPDATE: Turbine responded to our queries, clarifying that D&D Online has added over a million new members since the franchise changed from a subscription-only model to a hybrid focus in September, doubling its base built during the game’s three and a half years as a subscription title. Turbine also promised to reveal more variable in the equation and a few of the secrets behind its success during its GDC session entitled “The Future of MMO Monetization: How Turbine Supercharged DDO by Adopting a Hybrid Business Model”

I may not be all that familiar with Borderlands, but I know as far as DLC goes, this is a pretty sweet deal. By knocking up the level cap and adjusting the world to have a new level of rarity for weapons (Pearlescent), the endgame in Borderlands gets a whole lot longer – and even lower-level characters can cash in on it too, because there’s nothing to stop you from venturing out to the new area added by Secret Armory.

The new area is called the Parched Fathoms, a dry-lake-turned-desert with a lone outpost called T-Bone Junction situated toward the middle of the area. In this new town setting players encounter their old friend, Scooter, who has blueprints for new vehicles that you have to find components for. Moxxi and Athena also return to the cast for a lot of new dialogue, and a slew of new enemies crop up almost as a soon as you set foot outside of T-Bone Junction.

During my guided demo with Lead Designer Paul Hellquist and Vice President of Martketing Steve Gibson, I first watched as each got his ass handed to him first by Lance Assassins (which are pretty much what they sound like), Lance Probes (little robots that spout propaganda and shoot your vehicle to pieces), then by Lance Rocket Troopers (think Boba Fett). It was particularly painful to watch all of this because Borderlands is meant to be a multiplayer experience and I just know I could’ve shot off a few of the Rocket Troopers and bought Gibson time to get back in the dune buggy and run over a probe or two. Sadly, technical difficulties kept me out of that first fray.

I got my chance later, though, when Hellquist skipped ahead toward what I take to be the end of the new story section. I won’t spoil any of it for you, but there were midgets riding Skags with some incredibly clever A.I. – and I wound up leading them, plus a couple of fire-breathing Skags into a boss fight with mechs and a rocket-pack-sporting villain. It was a real treat to watch the three different A.I. factions duke it out amongst themselves while I hid in a corner with my ammo-less rocket launcher and watched. Needless to say, though, I died horribly and alone when one of the factions remembered it was me they wanted to kill in the first place.

Even so, I got a good grasp of some new combat tweaks developer Gearbox has worked into Secret Armory. Aside from the Rocket Troopers that add a whole new dimension to combat (because they can go above or below you while shooting), new A.I. for enemies has created a different battle dynamic in encounters. For example, the Skag Riders are two independent A.I. units working together – the Skag will run at you while the midget shoots from his back – and when you kill one, the other breaks off and keeps attacking you with a new set of tactics. Hellquist also told me that they’ve added a raid boss-style enemy called Crawmerax in the game that teams of four can seek out and bring down together for a chance at Pearlescent weapon drop.

The more I see of Borderlands, the more I’m convinced it’s going to get the World of Warcraft experience onto consoles in the best way possible. Assuming The Secret Armory of General Knoxx doesn’t somehow sabotage the amazing multiplayer introduced in the base game, this is one DLC pack you won’t want to pass up.

The sit-down unit is fitted with a pair of eyeglasses for the player to view the action through, with gun-shaped controllers to aim and attack with. The big monitor and 5.1 surround sound offer up an even more immersive environment, all the more important when you think how busy arcades are. Of course, when we say “arcades,” we mean Japanese arcades, since they don’t really exist in the U.S. any longer, and we won’t likely see this unit come stateside in a non-import capacity any time soon.
The recently-concluded Arcade Operator Union Expo in Japan got an even deeper look into the cabinet for Komani’s approaching Metal Gear Arcade. Announced last June, the gameplay is set off a adapted version of Metal Gear Online, but the fully-loaded arcade unit should offer up a much another experience.
