One MMORPG announces a new expansion, another has nasty rumours

This week has been all about the new Final Fantasy XIV and ArcheAge expansion, with rumors of the Western servers closing. We have also summarized all the news about WoW, Blue Protocol and many other MMORPGs.

The highlight of the week:

The excitement of the week: There has been some discussion at ArcheAge. An insider claimed that XL Games is cutting positions and the MMORPG will soon shut down in regions outside of Korea. The developers denied it, but left a back door open. It says: “However, some regions that are not performing as expected will be evaluated for termination of service.”
