Social networking around MMOs just hit the big moment.社交網絡周圍的mmos只需點擊大的時刻。 Shawn Fanning, creator of Napster way back when, created a site called肖恩范甯，創作者的Napster的方式回時，創造了所謂的網站 Rupture破裂 a while back that purported to be而這回的本意是要 a social networking site based around World of Warcraft 1社交網站為基礎的魔獸世界 . 。 Since soon after, the site seemingly hasn’t done anything all that interesting — they’ve added a few games and自後不久，該網站似乎已沒有這樣做，所有有趣的-他們已經增加了幾場比賽中和 a few new features幾個新特點 , but they haven’t yet made it out of beta, and it wasn’t obvious that anyone was real interested in Rupture. ，但他們尚未作出它的測試版，這不是很明顯，任何人是真正有興趣的破裂。

Until now — EA (yes, that EA) has ponied up a whopping $30 million to buy Rupture and all of its potential up.直至目前為止-環境評估（沒錯，就是那個e a）條已p onied了一個高達3 000萬美元購買破裂和其所有的潛力。 A move to put some social networking into play on their upcoming Warhammer Online title?此舉把一些社會網絡，發揮其對即將到來的戰鎚在線標題？ Taking competition away from an upcoming official site covering all their games?採取競爭遠離即將到來的官方網站，涵蓋其所有的遊戲呢？ Whatever EA is planning to do with Rupture, they’re paying through the nose for it — that無論是環境規劃不破裂，他們付出通過鼻子為它- makes the $1 million Wowhead buyout使一百萬元買斷wowhead look like chump change.樣子chump改變。

Then again, whether Rupture turns out to be the “Facebook for gamer”s that they hope to be, $30 million will look like a bargain.再說，是否破裂，原來以“臉譜為玩家的” S表示，他們希望得到， 3000萬美元看起來會像討價還價。 Either way, EA just put their money where their mouth is in the social networking MMO game.無論採用哪種方式，環境評估只是把他們的錢那裡是他們的嘴在社會網絡mmo遊戲。

Thanks, 謝謝， Brooke 布魯克 ! ！
