I didn't participate directly in the rescue by collecting the life pods (oh, my evil cold heart!) or firing my weapons because I was too busy watching the event unfold. OK, so I bumped fenders with the poor decrepit behemoth we were trying to protect and escort, but I swear I had nothing to do with that piece of hull that sheared off! Because destruction looked a bit too imminent, players then began to hook up with the life pods to rescue survivors and transport them to medical attention back at the safety of stations.Īlthough admittedly I'm a first-time pilot for this jaunt into space, and the controls took a bit to get used to (turning to look at something doesn't turn your ship any more than turning your head to look out a window does in a car), I was able to keep up with the group and even avoid getting my own ship destroyed in the process. The first anniversary event transpired on the night of Friday the 20th, calling on players to come assist a damaged ship and keep pirates from blasting it to bits. Always willing to join the party, Some Assembly Required strapped into a shiny new ship and blasted right into the thick of things in order to share in the festivities. Luckily for those of us without an Android, Vendetta Online celebrated its decennial anniversary with some developer-run in-game events over the weekend. After all, who wants to miss an event just because employment gets in the way? Vendetta Online, of course! Perhaps the longest-running epic space-based sandbox MMORPG, the game hit a milestone last week that few others can boast: It turned 10!Īlthough its major retail distribution was in 2004, Vendetta Online marks its anniversary as the day it was spotlighted in Penny Arcade during the game's completely open and public alpha (which means it basically launched since everyone could dive in and play) and the population exploded! A truly multi-platform MMORPG, Guild Software's game can be played on Windows, Mac, Linux, and even Android, giving pilots the freedom to log in when and where they may, even to surreptitiously check the markets or maybe sneak an event in while at work via a smartphone. If I were to start describing a game where players have zipped about one persistent universe as one of three factions in customizable ships vying for wealth and territory by mining, dodging hostiles, fulfilling missions, blasting one another to bits, docking at stations, blazing trade routes, and pirating for the past 10 years, you would say.
