This week on Ding! Live! the guys talk about some of the news they didn't manage to get to last week because of the WildStar talk, including Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Star Trek Online (and its recently released expansion), Defiance, Neverwinter and loads more. They also talked a little bit about the new Destiny trailer which, while technically not an MMO, still deserves talking about.

This week on Ding! Live!, the guys are talking about all of the news they can think of to talk about coming out of the MMO side of the game's industry. This week the guys start by talking about Star Trek Into Darkness (yes, the film) and that leads on to a conversation about Star Trek Online and it's upcoming expansion. The discussion then moves onto Defiance and Neverwinter before culminating in an in depth talk about WildStar (which Calvin has been lucky enough to play). They guys also talk a little bit about The Elder Scrolls Online, after watching a newly released video.

This week on Ding! Live!, the guys are talking about all of the news they can think of to talk about coming out of the MMO side of the game's industry. This week Trey begins the discussion with his experiences with Battlestar Galactica Online, as well as Calvin's lack of enjoyment of it. Martin remains "defiant" about his enjoyment of Trion World's Defiance and Calvin and Martin gush a little bit about Cryptic Games' recently released Neverwinter before talking about some of the more recent news and more!

This week the guys talk more about Defiance - as that's the game which Martin has been playing the most - before launching into a full-length discussion about Neverwinter, the new Cryptic game in the Dungeons and Dragons universe that's recently seen a soft launch in the form of an open beta. Discussion then moved on to some of the news coming out of the industry, as well as a rumour from Peter Molyneux about a possible Fable MMO. Want to know what else they talked about? You'll have to listen in won't you?

This week the guys talk about Star Wars: The Old Republic finally going free-to-play, what you'll be able to do and, more importantly, what you won't be able to do. The conversation then moves on to the games that each of the team played over the course of the week and, as you would expect from this time of year, a lot of time has been spent playing games that weren't actually MMO's. Although there's always some beta or another that the guys can get involved in and talk about. The show ends as the trio talk about some of the holiday events they've played in the past and what might be coming up in time for Christmas next month.

This week the guys talk about BioWare finally announcing the date at which Star Wars: The Old Republic will finally go free-to-play. Martin gets a little bit excited about the idea of playing his Smuggler again and Calvin debates about whether or not it's going to make him want to start playing again. The guys then talk about other news in the MMO world such as TERA merging servers, the new gameplay video from The Elder Scrolls online and Calvin and Trey's experience with The War Z's beta.

This week the guys talk about absolutely anything they can think of which, this week, consisted of a new World of Warcraft offer allowing newcomers to get the game and its first two expansions for a mere �4, a long discussion about MMO mobile apps, what they should have in order to make them useful and whether or not the guys would use them and the new Gateway system from Star Trek Online.

This week the guys talk about absolutely anything they can think of that's happened within the world of MMO's over the last week or so. The discussion starts with Trey, who's been playing a lot of Star Wars: The Old Republic in anticipation of it going free-to-play, then moves on to Calvin and Martin who have been playing a lot of World of Warcraft, particularly the in-game seasonal events. The gang then glossed over some news, mostly about the new Defiance TV show trailer and the Transformer Universe trailer for Jagex.

On the 35th episode of Ding!, we join Calvin, Martin and Trey Douglas as they talk about Martin�s accidental joining of the enemy in War of the Roses, the fact that Calvin seems to be still enjoying World of Warcraft as a Pandaren Monk (yes, including the new Pet Battle System) and Trey talks some more about is extended experiences in Planetside 2

This week the guys talk about Mists of Pandaria, as if you'd expect anything less?!? The discussion moves from Martin's experiences with the Pet Battle System to Calvin's thoughts on the Pandaren as a new character class. Trey dismisses everything the two say despite both Martin and Calvin lavishing praise on the latest Blizzard title. The talk then moves on to RIFT and some dubious behaviour from 38 Studios. You're just going to have to listen to find out.

This week the guys talk about The Secret World getting a new Game Director, what that could mean for the future of the game as well as the possibility of it going Free-To-Play. Conversation then moves to the possible leaked release date for Dust 514, whether the guys are excited to play it and whether or not they'll be playing it as soon as it comes out. The guys talk a little bit about Mists of Pandaria, The War Z and other MMO news but you'll have to listen to find out exactly what...

This week the guys talk about some recently released gameplay footage from The Day Z, whether or not it got the guys even more excited for the upcoming game or whether it did just the opposite. The conversation then moved on to the very recent announcement that both of the founders of BioWare, the team of Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk, affectionately referred to as The Doctors (even though they don't appear to be Time Lords), are leaving the company for jobs outside of the games industry. Martin then talked at length about Runic Games' recently released Torchlight II before the podcast ended with a little bit of talk about the Planetside 2 beta.

This week the guys talk about the closing of City of Heroes, some of the fun times they've had in that game and some of the fun they could have had if they'd have found the time. The conversation moves onto Planetside 2, which Trey has been playing a little bit more of and talks about an experience he had which made the game feel "fucking epic". The guys then discuss some departures of Lead Designers from some fairly prominent companies. Oh well, the games industry is certainly one that's constantly moving, we're sure they'll land on their feet somewhere.

This week the guys talk about the beta for Planetside 2 that Trey has been playing a bit of, but then the discussion quickly moves to Guild Wars 2, which the guys are still religiously playing. The conversation stays on Guild Wars 2 for quite a while before moving on to the recently released gameplay video for The War Z (which you can see below). Conversation goes back to Guild Wars 2 for the final part of the show; they just can�t stop talking about that game!

This week the guys talk about Guild Wars 2 for almost the entire episode. The discussion moves through most aspects of the game from first impressions all the way through to a relatively in-depth discussion about the combat system and that game's apparent emphasis on exploration and discovery. If you're playing Guild Wars 2 at the moment, and want to get in on the action with Ding! guys, they're currently calling Gunnar's Hold home.

This week the guys talk about Project Copernicus, the game that could have been the Kingdoms of Amalur MMO from 38 Studios, which would have been the first AAA game built from the ground up to use the free-to-play model. Conversation then moved on to DayZ, with Calvin talking about whether or not the game can be considered a "game". Finally, the talking degrades a little as the trio talk about the nude patch for Star Trek Online becomes the topic of discussion.

This week the guys talk at length about the beta of the upcoming Free-to-Play MMO they've all been playing; RaiderZ. The discussion then moves on to more standard games such as Star Wars: The Old Republic and The Secret World before the guys start making bets on when certain games will go Free-to-Play. Do you agree? You'll have to listen to find out.

This week the guys talk about recent announcement from BioWare and EA that Star Wars: The Old Republic will be going Free-to-Play, the new patch for TERA which will be bringing PvP to the game and the recently released patch for The Secret World which adds the much asked about Marketplace.

The gang talk Star Trek Online to commemorate the fact that Star Trek: The Next Generation is turning 25. The discussion then moves onto some more The Secret World, where Martin has been spending the majority of his game playing week, some talk about the recently announced The Day Z, and some news from Star Wars: The Old Republic and World of Warcraft.

Calvin and Martin are joined by Trey to talk about some MMOs
