Massively Overpowered ·

2025/10/24

2025/10/24

I originally felt as if I didn’t have a lot to say about Warframe’s most recent update, and to a certain extent that remains true. Part of that is just personal interest, of course. I am not eager to get my hands on Nokko and don’t desperately want most of what he has on offer, […]

2025/10/24

You might feel like the World of Warcraft development team has explained the changes coming to addons in the upcoming Midnight expansion many times, but some of those explanations are tucked away in explanations to fan developers. Others are just unclear, and there are fans worried that the game will be removing addons that aren’t going anywhere […]

2025/10/24

While snooping around a certain MMO’s Discord the other day – hey, they hide info in Discord, I’ma snoop it – I came across a comment that made me do a double-take. This player was trying to explain why a certain indie MMO should be a cut a little slack because it “only” had 50 […]

2025/10/23

About a thousand years ago, I was a sweet little newbie in Ultima Online, which didn’t have all that much roleplay. But one day, I was wandering through the city of Britain when I saw some people hanging out in the theater, with their speech floating up over their heads. I stood there staring for […]

It’s time for another dose of weekly Black Desert medicine, and for once the biggest injection is coming from the console version of the sandbox MMORPG, which has brought on a bunch of Halloween goodness just as promised.

2025/10/23

Did you know that you’re not allowed to run an MMORPG if it doesn’t have a Halloween event? It’s true! Throne and Liberty’s Halloween event has been described as “spooky, mandatory fun” by some, possibly, and who are we to argue with it? You must take part in this event now that it’s live.

Jagex is continuing its efforts shoring up RuneScape Dragonwilds’ early access with the 0.9.2 update that rolled out this week. Don’t get too excited; it’s not a Halloween update. In fact, it’s mostly focused on an AI revamp. The mob kind of AI. “We found some players are having a brutal and frustrating time navigating […]

2025/10/23

A lot of Halloween fun does not naturally map to Star Trek Online. It’s hard to get the same charge of decorative gourds and fake plastic skeletons when you’re flying spaceships in the far future, after all, and your Klingon crew members are asking why you put an orange vegetable with its rind carved on the […]

Does Halloween in TERA feel the same without the PC servers western players knew and loved? You’ll have to tell us, console players, because you’re the only ones who will see Halloween arrive to Arborea.

When I was talking with a friend about World of Warcraft’s upcoming housing system the other day, he made a comment that has been pinging around in my skull. He said, “I would’ve been more than happy if we had gotten some bare-bones housing. That would’ve been better than the nothing we’ve had for two […]
