As always, our busy forum community will no doubt give you a lot of room for discussing the game. What do you think we'll see and what you want to see in the new world of Haiderin? Be sure to tell us what you think about the site so far!

Our wikibase is being filled up nicely with community content and is easily searchable at the top of the site. We hope to see users contributing where they can! Stay tuned for news, updates, and editorials on this exciting new title from Square Enix!

Today at the Sony Press Conference, Square Enix delivered exciting news to the MMORPG world and to the citizens of Vana'diel. A new world, Eorzea, is the stage set for their new title, Final Fantasy XIV Online, apparently set for release in 2010 for the PC and PlayStation 3.

Threads in the FFXI forums have already begun to spring up faster than you can say "chocobo," but the ZAM Network has created a special forum for discussion and speculation on this brand new title. Be sure to head on over there to swoon over the trailer (now available in HD at the official website) and discuss anything and everything FF14 related with the gaming community!

Also, stay tuned tomorrow for our coverage of the Square Enix Press Conference at E3, scheduled to begin at 11:30 AM PST! Tamat, our Editor in Chief, will be there to report all the details on the forums, so be sure to keep an eye on the FFXI General Discussion Forum tomorrow morning. For those of you unable to view the forums at that time, we'll also be providing Twitter updates here. Or simply follow us on Twitter to get updates sent directly to your cell phone!

We are happy to announce our newest ZAM site, which is dedicated to SOE's ground breaking MMO Free Realms.  In the 10 years I have been doing this, I don't think I have ever made a post saying go play this game, but here it is -- go play this game.  If you have a young child as I do, you are going to love Free Realms.  It is the Bugs Bunny of gaming, simple enough in many areas to entertain a kid, but complex and mature enough to keep adults interested too.  Free Realms is not for the hard core raider, but those who like to play an hour or two at a time will find themselves coming back and playing it over and over again.  There is a huge amount of content available for free and even more for a minimal $5.00 monthly fee.  Most important of all, the game is just plain fun.  But don't just listen to me.  Since it is free to sign up and you can start playing in literally minutes, there is little reason to not give it a try and decide for yourselves.  I think you will be pleasantly surprised.  I know I was.  For a more information, check out Pwyff's preview.

Our Free Realms Site is still in its infancy, but will be growing up quickly.  Soon we will have a full fledged database for it.  In the meantime, we enourage anyone who is playing to help expand our wiki and post your questions in our forum.

I am more than happy to announce our winner of a brand new spanking laptop from Dell!

StrahaIronscale is now the owner of THIS!

The winners from this past week are listed after the jump! Congratulations everyone!!!

Cowabunga! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year, and the ZAM Network is honoring the birthday of the heroes in a half shell with more than just pizza. We have begun development on our first MMO, and we've chosen Leonardo, Donatello, Michaelangelo and Raphael to lead us into the virtual sewers.

TMNT Online will allow players to enter the world made famous in comics, cartoons and movies as a Ninja Rat, Reporter, Sports Vigilante or Ninja Turtle. Or, if you'd rather align yourself with Shredder and Krang, you can do so by signing up to join the Dark Legion of Dark Forces. Don't be surprised if you need to work your way up from being a Foot Soldier, but trust us, it will be worth it to man your weapons in the Technodrome.

Speaking of PvP, friendly fire is off, so keep an eye out for your allies in the midst of battle. All it takes is one misplaced nunchuck swing and your teammate could be down for the count. But since there are no experience points in our game, all you need to do is purchase some "Turtle Power", and use your ooze-infused abilities to remind your enemies that you're part of the world's most fearsome fighting team!

For more information on TMNT Online, keep reading after the jump for the full press release. We'll keep you posted as we get closer to beta testing, but until that time you'll have to be patient like Splinter. We also want to encourage any feedback you may have in our TMNTO announcement thread.

Today some lucky winner will be the recipient of the Nintendo Wii console!

Who will it be? /drumroll...... Laxedrane, come on down!
