Massive Online Gaming Magazine

Including information about Furcadia in every issue!

Announcement: Massive Online Gaming Returns!
Incan Monkey God Studios Releases MOG #2 in March 2003!

When Massive Online Gaming (MOG) debuted in October 2002, it received rave reviews as the first and only print magazine devoted exclusively to the unique culture of massively multiplayer online gaming. Fans of the first issue were disappointed, however, when the second issue failed to appear as scheduled. Unfortunately, MOG’s original publisher had gone out of business, putting the magazine on hold as we searched for a new publisher. MOG has now returned, being published by IMGS, with issue #2 schedule to appear in March 2003.

Exciting Changes in the Magazine:

· MOG is now MONTHLY.

· Each issue will continue to be full color, with about 144 pages per issue.

· Each issue will sell for $5.99 via internet sales (less than 40% of the price for issue #1). Canadian subscriptions are $7.99 USD per issue; all other international sales are $9.99 USD per issue. The purchase price DOES include postage and handling worldwide, but not sales tax for Texas addresses.

· MOG will not be distributed to retail outlets (at least for awhile). It can only be purchased online, by anyone in the world.

· There are many things that are staying the same. MOG will be keeping all of its premium features, news, updates, "Ping" thumbnails, columns, interviews, screenshots and other content that made MOG #1 so popular.

· MOG will be accepting a limited number of paid ads (less than 10% of the pages). The suggestions that IMGS received was to see few ads, but only ads that directly relate to massive online games. That's what they're giving you.

What will Issue #2 contain?

Issue #2 contains articles on A Tale in the Desert, Adellion, Anarchy Online, Asheron’s Call, Asheron’s Call 2, Ballerium, Dark Age of Camelot, DarkSpace, Dransik, Earth & Beyond, EverQuest, Furcadia, Horizons, Meridian 59, Neocron, Star Wars Galaxies, The Sims Online, Ultima Online, Warhammer Online, and World War II Online, plus thumbnails on over 100 other MOGs.

Online Subscriptions

MOG will be sold and marketed under an exciting new concept that takes full advantage of the ease and convenience of e-commerce, as well as the universal internet connectivity of our readers.

The primary way to buy MOG will be through internet subscriptions. By "subscription" we mean something basically identical to your monthly game subscriptions. When you sign up for MOG, your credit card will be charged when the issue actually ships. You will be charged again each month (when each issue actually ships) until you cancel your subscription.

The subscription price DOES include all postage and shipping and everything else (except sales tax for Texas subscribers).

(Those who really, really want to subscribe to a specific number of issues, or who just don't do e-commerce, may pay by check -- as many issues as you want at the regular subscription price per issue. Subscription forms are available in downloadable format on the MOG website, and in the magazine.)

Online subscriptions are now being accepted at MOGonline.com. Gift subscriptions are also available there.

For those who like to see what you’re buying before you pay for it, .PDFs from MOG #1 and the table of contents from #2 are posted at MOGonline.com, so you can see exactly what kind of depth and quality you can expect from future issues.

(MOG will not be offered through traditional retail magazine distribution. However, retailers or distributors who may wish to purchase copies in bulk for resale may contact wholesale@mogonline.com for terms.)
