2025/09/21

Welcome back to Make My MMO, MOP’s long-running column where we keep track of crowdfunded MMOs, both brand-new titles just starting their campaigns and older games long past their fundraising. It’s been a couple of interesting weeks in the crowdfunding sector. For starters, Ship of Heroes is launching this coming week, for real this time, […]

2025/09/20

Star Wars Galaxies rogue server Legends has been pretty quiet this year following the finale launch of the Jedi Themepark last spring, a fact that the player devs acknowledge in the game’s most recent dev blog, which covers the January to August period but was posted only last week. “[I]t’s been a good while since […]

It’s party time! Even better, it’s Party Animals time! The best PvP game ever (fight Massively OP’s MJ on that — no seriously, come in and fight her) turned two years old today, and that’s cause for a celebration. This celebration just involves beating friends and family with bats, frying pans, giant lollipops, and anything […]

2025/09/20

All summer, we’ve been covering the lawsuit Daybreak levied against the Heroes Journey EverQuest emulator over copyright violations. It’s been winding its way through preliminary proceedings as Daybreak sought injunctions to prevent the server that is using its copyright and assets from continuing to generate money while bleeding EverQuest itself, which Daybreak’s Jenn Chan previously […]

2025/09/20

Yesterday, we finally found out how much the box price and subscription fee for Ship of Heroes will be, and the news was not pretty on the pocketbook: $60 to buy in for the box and the first month, then $15 a month to subscribe, though sub fees are discounted for multi-month packages. Reaction to […]

The fashion wars are upon us, people, and the runway is splattered with the remains of the last contestants that couldn’t hack it. But that won’t be you, right? You’ve got an eye for great colors, matching pieces, and perfect symmetry. Well, at least you put on the same shade of socks today. That’s a […]

2025/09/19

It’s the last weekend of summer. Autumn may start on Monday, but Massively OP’s MJ isn’t quite ready to say goodbye — especially in AQ3D! She’ll be seeing off summer in Suns Set Shore, soaking up the beach atmosphere and playing in the sand castle. She’ll also be trying to collect a few more pieces […]

2025/09/19

All right, we’ve got a lot going on this week and only a limited amount of time to cover it, so let’s get right into it. EVE Vanguard has kicked off open testing through September 23rd, which we’re sure will go very well because all of that game’s spinoffs go well. Warborne: Above Ashes has launched, […]

2025/09/19

It doesn’t appear that many people are happy with Hearthstone’s recent Day of Rebirth mini-set — including Blizzard itself. Tucked into this week’s patch notes, the studio confessed that it didn’t do a good job of maintaining and addressing card balance with the most recent expansion. “We fell short of our goal of introducing enough […]

2025/09/19

Who in the heck is Allan Serbin? Apparently someone in Black Desert Console who’s so good at painting that it opens literal worlds for players to plumb. That appears to be the synopsis for one of the tentpole features of the MMORPG’s latest patch, which introduces Allan Serbin’s Landscape gameplay. To be clear, these aren’t […]

2025/09/19

“This patch is so exciting, so bad ass!” That’s some serious Blizzard developer enthusiasm for Diablo Immortal’s Patch 4.1: Flesh Harvest, which is coming to the game next week on September 25th and will witness a “shard-born paradise emerge on Sanctuary.” In a new dev video, the team talks about the two new regions coming […]

We regret to inform you if you somehow missed it that Warhammer Online has not survived since its launch wholly intact. The game did, in fact, shut down all the way back in 2013. But the Return of Reckoning rogue server has kept the game going despite that fact, and that means this weekend it has […]

Yesterday, when we reported on the new space ambulances coming to Star Citizen in alpha 4.3.1, we noted that there wasn’t any date or timing for the new build. Well, evidently CIG decided that timing was immediately after that story: Alpha 4.3.1: Virtue’s Descent is now online. This patch once again focuses on the recently […]

To be honest, I never thought I’d get into No Man’s Sky. In fact, my latest attempt isn’t the first time I’ve tried. On two previous occasions, I’ve jumped into my red exosuit and donned my trusty multitool, only to fade away after a few days. But this time, something finally clicked, and it clicked […]
