The Daily Grind: Do you play MMOs during work or...

2026/04/04

As we enter this Judgment-Free Zone today — Chris swiffered up the remaining judgment from yesterday’s Daily Grind, don’t worry — we have to ask something we’re a little curious about: Do you ever play MMORPGs when you technically shouldn’t be? Do you sneak in a gaming session, maybe to check your auctions or reset […]

Highway to the danger zone. Clone fight in the danger zone! When Massively OP wants to get funky on a Friday, she looks for something really interesting. And by interesting, we mean something quirky, crazy, or very weird. Robot gladiatorial battles? Oh yeah, that checks! MJ discovered Clone Drone in the Danger Zone. Here she’ll […]

2026/04/03

Before now, you could not have them, but RuneScape Dragonwilds has added dedicated servers with its latest update! That’s right, unlike other updates where the servers refused to commit and wanted to keep their options open, the latest patch adds more quest content and dedicated servers that’ll just be with you, baby. I am being informed by […]

2026/04/03

What’s it like to be one of the Fae in Stars Reach? Any MMORPG roleplayer knows that there’s a certain degree of having to just guess and figure things out, but the developers have put out a roleplaying guide so that players can be forewarned and forearmed. Not four-armed, though, the Fae have two arms and […]

2026/04/03

We here at MassivelyOP have had some fun with PEAK, the smash hit co-op game where a small group of players tries to scale a dastardly series of sheer climbs to reach the top of a mountainous island. Though the game’s popularity has sort of leveled off, it’s still extremely busy, and we’ve even streamed it […]

2026/04/03

If you have somehow missed it, Spirit Crossing is a game about friends. And how do you deal with friends? With Friendship Gems, naturally. (This was oddly omitted from the television show Friends, maybe due to writing issues.) So it’s good that the latest update to the game has added more ways to get Friend Gems, […]

2026/04/03

Classic Guild Wars is turning 21 years old this month, and to celebrate, ArenaNet has deeply discounted the game – so cheap it might even be worth buying anew just to have a copy on Steam for your Deck. Or maybe that’s just me. “Guild Wars was released 21 years ago this month, and we’re […]

2026/04/03

Persist Online, the PvPvE zombie-filled shooter MMO in pre-alpha development by Tibia studio CipSoft, has been promising testing plans for some time now, but we never really knew exactly when testing would pick back up, though the devs have been keen to show off several updates to the game along the way. Well, we now […]

Earlier this week, we mentioned that as part of its capital markets day briefing, Nexon announced that it is partnering with Blizzard to launch Overwatch for the Korean audience, and now we have more details on the partnership. “Blizzard Entertainment (President Johanna Faries) and NEXON (Daehyun Kang and Jungwook Kim, Co-CEOs of NEXON Korea) announced […]

Pantheon Rise of the Fallen studio Visionary Realms has been slowly winding its way through blogs on its impending class overhauls due later this spring. Thus far, we’ve seen what’s in store for the Warrior and Paladin; today, we’re scoping out the Dire Lord. If you’re sensing the tank theme, then you’re paying attention! Dire […]

2026/04/03

It was no April Fools’ week joke: The online multiplayer Where Winds Meet released the second chapter of its Hexi expansion on April 1st, titled Liangzhou. The content drop adds the snow-capped titular region that includes two new journeys, a Raging Tides faction to join, and several additional world bosses to conquer. Perhaps the star […]

The first big event of Elder Scrolls Online’s Season Zero, which formally toggled on yesterday, is the Anniversary Jubilee. The MMORPG is now 12 years old. “The 2026 Anniversary Jubilee in-game event kicks off from April 2 at 10AM EDT and runs until April 15 at 10AM EDT,” ZeniMax Online Studios says. “During the celebration, […]

2026/04/03

I’ve been constantly flummoxed by my own complete and utter distaste for MOBAs. On paper (on screen? on digital?) MOBAs should be perfect for me. They are straight-up team battles. They involve tight understanding and execution of your and every other hero’s skills. And they’re often third-person, over-the-shoulder perspective. All the things that I would […]

2026/04/03

During a recent Q&A session, World of Warcraft’s Holly Longdale posed the open question of how many players would be interested in playing the game with a dedicated controller-based UI. This was, to be clear, the question in its entirety – no talk of console ports or future plans, no discussion of ability changes, just a […]

Warframe of Mind: Evaluating Follie and her Hunt changes

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/04/03

The thing about covering games – at least the way that I see it – is that to a certain extent, it didn’t really matter how much or how little I liked Follie’s Hunt in Warframe. I was always going to do it because that was the way to get Follie, and I needed to get […]

2026/04/03

Is it a story spoiler if you don’t exactly have context for a cutscene? If you do happen to feel that way, then perhaps you should click away now because Blizzard has decided to share an advance look at a cutscene from the upcoming Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred expansion. “Walk the path of faith and […]

It might be time to grab a few friends and head back into Jump Space because the sci-fi co-op adventure game’s Heated Update arrived this week with a whole lot of improvements and additions. The major addition here is the new Heat mechanic, which is designed to push player choices as they hop around sectors: […]

2026/04/03

If there’s any Blizzard property that’s fallen on the hardest of times, it has to be the once-red hot StarCraft RTS series that’s barely an afterthought today. So how cool would it be if this franchise saw a genuine comeback? It may be in the works, as Blizzard and Nexon have long been partnering on […]

Last fall, we all fell in love with Mihoyo’s newly promised game, a cozy multiplayer RPG called Petit Planet. It’s been trekking through various phases of testing – and now it’s opening one we might even get into as the studio “continues to explore its vision for multiplayer gameplay and immersive cozy experiences.” “Global interactive […]
