The Daily Grind: How much do you recall about your...

2025/07/20

The thing about when Oraxia first got released in Warframe was that I did not have any guides to refer back to when it came to building her. How could I? She was brand-new; she wasn’t like a Prime version of an existing frame. Obviously I knew how to make a build that was at least […]

2025/07/19

TennoCon grows and grows each year. But even with a two-day event that encompasses two games, the TennoLive broadcast that caps off the con with all the big Warframe reveals is still the highlight. (Although I think the Tenno Concert is giving that a run for its money this year!) This is where fans get […]

TennoCon 2025: Soulframe prelude test access is open...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/07/19

There are three kinds of players who have signed up for the Soulframe Preludes: those who are currently playing (by far the smallest group), those who are eager to play but don’t have access, and those who are waiting to play only after there are no more account resets (where I am sitting). We can […]

2025/07/19

For the past few weeks we’ve been keeping eyes on Lionhearts, a strategy MMO set in the medieval time of the third crusade that hangs its hat on historical setting, 66 professions and 14 guild types to choose from, and the ability for players to build power and influence as they fight against other factions.

2025/07/19

With the Edge of Fate expansion for Destiny 2 now out in the wild, reason would stand that players would have Thoughts and Opinions about what’s been released. That leads us to this trio of headlines about various things within the looter shooter’s new expansion, specifically about how the new player experience has aged like […]

2025/07/19

Major Changes Aiden interactions have now been fixed! While speedrunners had found some interesting strategies from using his menus, we’ve now changed most of the problems so those of you playing normally can no longer reverse time or change your father into the hookshot through changing pages. (There’s a legacy toggle in the options menu […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/07/19

Iterating, homogenizing, and copying might work to refine MMOs into more streamlined and comfortable products, but that process jettisons many quirky, interesting, or even — dare I say? — innovative elements in a rush to modernize. Many of us here in the MOP community have long memories, so I invite you to lift up an […]

2025/07/19

Why is the game called Blue Protocol? I don’t know, but when it shut down, I was more than a little blue about it. But Blue Protocol: Star Resonance is a resurrection of the game, sort of, and closed beta signups are opening on July 24th. Will I be there? Yes. Obviously. I love the color blue. […]

Virtual reality MMO Ilysia hasn’t given up on the dream of carving out a niche for itself in this genre. In fact, the fantasy title is testing its newest content patch right now with three new areas to explore.

If you read MOP’s Justin’s Hype Train on the current state of Monsters and Memories and thought, Yes, this is exactly the kind of throwback MMORPG I am looking for, then pull out your calendar and save the date: Niche Worlds Cult has set the next community alpha test for next week. “We will be […]

2025/07/18

Back in the long, long ago, most PC video games had a sort of physical copy protection, so in order to prove you had a legitimate copy of the game, you had to reference some external bit of kit and type in that the third word on page 14 of the manual was “rutabaga.” And […]

2025/07/18

Gone are the days when New World players would jokingly refer to this event as the Smedleyfaire, but the Summer Medleyfaire is indeed returning later this month for a large part of the summer indeed and also deep into the fall. Running July 29th to October 28th, the event invites players to perform using the […]

2025/07/18

We were recently talking in the Massively OP office about how there really aren’t any good holidays for the late summer stretch. Well, apparently we plumb forgot about Unicornalia because that’s the Lisa Frank-inspired celebration that the world needs and deserves in July! Unfortunately for the rest of the world, Unicornalia is available in RIFT only […]

2025/07/18

This is not parody, we promise: Roblox that is introducing a new means of safeguarding children by requiring children ages 13 through 17 to upload a video selfie that will be analyzed by an AI to supposedly determine if they are, in fact, aged 13 through 17. But no, that is really how the company […]

2025/07/18

It’s another week of scattershot updates across the three versions of Black Desert, which is to say that there’s a bunch of little things added to the MMORPGs that don’t really have any throughline beyond “more stuff added to the game.” Not a complaint, mind you, just an observation. The update for PC players brings […]

2025/07/18

After bouncing off it on the initial release, I didn’t really expect to see myself back in Diablo: Immortal, but Andy’s preview of the new Druid class made it sound awfully fun, enough so that I reinstalled just to give the class a spin. I’m now much farther into Immortal than I got on my […]
