2026/06/07

No, the preview for the next update is here, and now it involves a whole new set of aggro changes. The goal is to rebuild the system based around a single standard, damage dealt, with […]

2026/06/07

With all of the systemic changes and testing that’s gone on in Mortal Online 2 these past few months, you’d be forgiven for not remembering that the gankbox announced a desert region know as Sarducaa all the way back this past January. Well, it’s time to jog your recollection because the devs at Star Vault have shared a […]

Massively on the Go: Pokemon Go gets worse as it...

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/06/07

Yes trainers, I do still play Pokemon Go, but as I noted after the Kalos Tour, my local communities have been trashed, and as I had noted, the devs haven’t really done anything to address not only average player concerns, but the concerns of their Community Ambassadors, at least from what a couple have told me […]

2026/06/07

Remember when cozy MMORPG Loftia debuted a gameplay trailer all about its adventures feature? Well, it did it again, only this time the trailer in question is arguably a bigger deal because it confirms an early access release window of sometime this fall. The footage provided for the announcement features multiple players roaming around in an adorable […]

One Shot: Avengers Endgame has nothing on these portals

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/06/07

What is it about spotting a big circular portal that makes you want to dash right through it, even if common sense says that you should send a dog or small child through first to test it out? I guess it’s the tease of the unknown! In other news, has anyone seen Katriana lately? This […]

The Daily Grind: What MMORPG pet have you spent the...

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/06/07

Today’s Daily Grind was inspired by two things: First, Guild Wars Reforged tweeted asking players which pet “followed [them] through the most battles.” And second, I’ve just revamped my SWG Legends Smuggler/Beastmaster into a Medic/Beastmaster closer to the one I had on live. Gosh I missed my torton, Sundae! Get it? Turtle sundae? Sigh. But […]

Multiplayer critter-catching open world Aniimo...

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/06/07

Back in December of last year, we got a first peek at Aniimo, a cute-looking open world multiplayer RPG from developer Pawprint Studio that welcomed gamers into a colorful realm where players train, befriend, and even directly control the titular critters while enjoying combat, exploration, and some social activities. Since then, the team has apparently been busy […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/06/06

It’s a tale as old as time for EVE Online players. They hear about a new expansion/update, they get loads of videos and other details, and then they get the patch notes ahead of its launch. So it has come once again for Cradle of War, which shared its full patch notes before its Tuesday, June 9th, […]

2026/06/06

Gah, even the patch notes page for Spirit Crossing is absolutely adorable. But we’ll brave it for you, fair reader, to bring you the news that Version 15.1 arrived earlier this week with some significant content additions to the aspiring cozy MMO. The patch made it cheaper to apply dyes, bumped up the friendship level […]

The Steam Team: Some Starseeker stress test shenanigans

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/06/06

Can Massively OP’s MJ break games? Oh, you bet she can! She’s kind of known for it. So with Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions adding a stress test for their networks before launch, of course MJ has to “help” out. If she breaks it now, it will be fixed for launch. That’s her story anyway and she […]

2026/06/06

Last night, ArenaNet officially confirmed what an NCsoft executive first revealed to shareholders last year: Guild Wars 3 is happening. In fact, not only is it happening, but we got an early trailer, some prequel setting details (it’s Orr a thousand years before GW1), promise of PC and PS5 functionality, and some teases about races […]

LOTRO Legendarium: Could LOTRO’s PvP monster classes...

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/06/06

The good news: Lord of the Rings Online is getting a brand-new class, its first since 2023’s Mariner. The bad news: It’s going to be accessible only for the vastly smaller portion of the game’s community that plays the “creep” side in the one PvP zone. While I don’t insist that all new content be […]

2026/06/06

It’s been a few days since Camelot Unchained entered early access on Steam, so one could certainly forgive Mark Jacobs a bit for not being on the game’s Twitch channel during what’s been a surely busy time. But last night, he did indeed appear on the MMORPG’s channel to talk about the journey to this point […]

The Daily Grind: What obscure weapon(s) do you want...

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/06/06

Swords, bows, daggers, staves, rifles, plus-sized hammers (don’t fat shame them!) — these weapons and more are all over the place in our MMOs. That’s usually fine, at least until you get a craving for something a little more… exotic. Something unusual and interesting. Something to spice up the visuals and give you different combat […]

2026/06/05

Weekends and to-do lists: A pairing few can escape. And that includes Massively OP’s MJ, who has quite a list of tasks she needs to work on in AdventureQuest 3D. There are plenty of floors to mop up in the Crypt of Mortis (have you seen the spiders down there/!) and not a few items […]

Could it be? Has it happened? Has Camelot Unchained launched into early access? No. Listen very closely to me. You are unconscious on a hospital bed on Mars. My name is Dr. Skyler Edelsson. I’m trying to communicate you but I have a limited amount of control, and it’s vitally important that we – I mean, […]
