2025/07/26

One of the oldest plot threads and locales in RuneScape, ranging all the way back to the dawn of the fantasy MMORPG, will be getting an “epic conclusion” this week. “The Kharidian Desert stretches vast and unforgiving, a land steeped in ancient history, hidden secrets, and enduring conflict,” Jagex posted. “On July 28th, it will become […]

LOTRO Legendarium: How to cope with LOTRO burnout

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/07/26

Even hard-working Hobbits must retire, from time to time, to a quiet place and recharge their batteries. I’ve been playing Lord of the Rings Online more or less continually — with a few breaks — since 2007. In this current stretch, I’ve been logging on daily (more or less) for the past three expansions. It’s […]

The Daily Grind: Do you plan out your next MMO...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/07/26

If there’s one side effect that MMOs have on us all, it’s give us time to think and ponder as we get sucked into the hundreds of hours of gameplay journeys. It’s why I find these games so relaxing: because I can let my mind unwind and drift along the currents of daydreaming. What I […]

2025/07/25

Since her beta beginnings, how many different starting areas and stories has Massively OP’s MJ experienced in AdventureQuest 3D? Actually, she’s not even sure any more! One, two, four… maybe more? But each iteration develops the great saga better, so she’s looking forward to checking out the newly released starting zone. Join us live at […]

2025/07/25

If you’re like me, you might not have paid any attention to Drakantos, but I have to pay attention to it this week because it’s opened up its weekend CBT, and it actually looks pretty. That’s not fair. Things I’m not paying attention to aren’t supposed to look pretty, because then I can be disappointed! […]

2025/07/25

Since March, we’ve been covering the latest stage of development for Kickstarted MMORPG sandbox Fractured Online – specifically, its acquisition by a third party studio that has actually gone all-in on fixing up the MMO rather than hollowing it out. We know, it kinda defies expectations for how these things go. Happy Cauldron Games’ Duncan […]

2025/07/25

The addition of a new continent to any MMORPG’s world is usually a pretty big deal, and that’s no less different for the plucky little 2-D mobile and PC MMORPG Kakele Online, which has introduced the continent of Gangan earlier this month with new things to do and updates to several existing systems. Naturally Gangan […]

It may have been a while since you thought about Blizzard and China together in the same sentence, but it’s a big deal that the latest monthly approval process for foreign games in China has included Diablo IV for localization and publication in the Chinese market. This might sound mundane until you note that the […]

2025/07/25

As the summer marches along, one constant has remained for Funcom’s MMORPG Dune Awakening: Some people are dirty cheaters ruining the game for the rest of us. The studio has a memo out this afternoon addressing what it’s doing to counter them. “Over the past weeks, we have deployed multiple hotfixes that addressed several exploits,” […]

MOP’s Bree has a lot to deal with running this site. Some of us can’t be left in the same room with one another without knives coming out, some of us set a lot of fires, and some of us keep trying to include talk of her throwing us in the eel tank in our […]

The mythical, fantastical dragon. The villainous yet delicious chicken. Combine these two and what do you get?

2025/07/25

So I didn’t really talk about it in the Warframe of Mind TennoCon reaction column earlier this week, but one of the things that was revealed during TennoCon was the fact that Digital Extremes is adding a new quest to help introduce new players of Warframe to how mods work. This is a good thing. […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/07/25

We’re going to try something a little bit different this time around in Fight or Kite, largely because I’m doing something a bit different now: gaming on a newly built Linux PC. It turns out it’s not actually all that difficult these days, and the performance you can get from Linux is nothing to sneeze […]

2025/07/25

Good audio design is vital to any game, MMO or otherwise, and Star Citizen is most certainly no different. So that means it’s time once again for members of the game’s sound team to come together, sit in some hard-looking armchairs, and discuss the topic during the latest Star Citizen Live stream. While the topic […]

2025/07/25

I think a lot of my feelings about the pre-alpha build of Soulframe can be summed up by the fight against the boss Garren Rood. This is the second major battle that I came into contact with when I was moving through the opening portions of the action MMO’s Preludes 10, Digital Extreme’s five-dollar term […]
