Project Ghost’s Greg Street defends building an MMO:...

2025/06/13

It’s slightly sad that in this day and age, a game studio feels that it needs to defend why it’s pouring efforts into crafting an MMORPG. But perhaps that’s also helpful, for studios such as Fantastic Pixel Castle can reiterate why MMOs are worth making. And in fact, the creator of Project Ghost posted a […]

2025/06/13

Nightingale has always been an odd duck of a game in the survival sandbox sub-genre, with a pleasing Victorian transrealmic aesthetic but a troubling update history that has only seen two major updates go out semi-recently, the last of which arrived last March. So, whatever happened to this one? Regrettably, it’s been nothing but the […]

2025/06/13

As promised, Palia’s Radiant Rising update dropped for beta players yesterday afternoon, with a whole raft of content and quality-of-life revisions. Let’s tackle the content first: For players who haven’t purchased a courier pet – that is, the minipets that you can use to send your loot back to your home storage – there’s a brand-new […]

The Daily Grind: Does your MMORPG friend list look...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/06/13

A throwaway comment on Reddit the other day made me vicariously sad: A player named IVRYN posted about “those dudes you have on your friend list who was great and now you see them ‘last logged in 10 years ago'” and oooooooooooof. I’m in this picture and I definitely do not like it. I just […]

Find clue naming the company in DDO’s Soul-Splitting Warforged case. Check. Find a contact that works for said company. Check. Meet with said contact. Er, nope. This is where the trail derailed again for Massively OP’s MJ as she searches for the source of the warforged kidnappings and subsequent selling into slavery. Now she must […]

2025/06/12

It’s kind of crazy to realize that it’s taken until 2025 for Aion to produce an action mage class, but that’s exactly what it’s (finally) getting with next week’s 4.0 update. The Luminess class arrives on Tuesday, June 18th with a slew of instant-cast spells, the ability to buff friends, and combos which can debuff […]

2025/06/12

The Oort Cloud is thought to be a cloud of icy matter that exists on the outer boundary of the solar system. First proposed by Dutch astronomer Jan Oort in 1950, it seeks to explain the mechanics of comets within our solar system. Meanwhile, in MapleStory, the Oort region is named that because it sounds […]

Boy does Throne & Liberty want you to raid these days. In fact, it wants you to raid so much that it’s created a special gear-up Road to Raid event to help the entire community improve its stats before the big Calanthia boss fight arrives later this month. While Road to Raid kicked off back […]

2025/06/12

Gamers now have a very long wait until Rockstar Games finishes its next big open world crime caper, so what are they to do in the meantime? Why not a little bit of laundry? No, not the awful yet necessary chore; some laundering of money in the June 17th Money Fronts update that’s headed for […]

2025/06/12

At long last, you will no longer find your dungeon activities in The Quinfall derailed by spamming chat looking for another party member. The game’s most recent patch has acquiesced to community demands and added an automated party finder that will match players based on their role and build preferences. Now you can just queue up […]

Massively on the Go: Mario Kart World is too big for...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/06/12

It’s with heavy heart that I note the recently released Switch 2’s Mario Kart World just feels too big to be experienced on the portable screen. Admittedly, I found the Switch 1’s portability lacking a bit, especially when I rode public transportation, but it was nice for waiting rooms, standing in lines for events, traveling, that sort […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/06/12

Age of Sail MMOs aren’t entirely uncommon around here – indeed, Sea of Thieves and Skull and Bones are two rather prominent multiplayer sandboxes vibing with that era. But if you want one that’s slightly less overt about its You Are A Pirate themes, perhaps cast your eyes upon Ahoy, a new UE5 MMO where […]

2025/06/12

Ah, Steam Next Fest. A smorgasbord of sketchy titles and hentai games. I kid (mostly), it’s also a great way to experience some all-new, new-to-you, or developing titles. Which means this is the perfect time to put in some quick initial sniffs at several MMO and multiplayer games that have been on my radar or […]

2025/06/12

We’re just a couple of weeks out from Albion Online’s Abyssal Depths update, and Sandbox Interactive is teasing the release with a rather subtle promotional video. Titled One World, Unlimited Stories, the new vid shows a new character waking up on the beach after a shipwreck, then slowly walking his way through different stages of […]

Ahead of its publicly available beta on June 20th, MassivelyOP was granted an early peak at Chrono Odyssey‘s current by the folks Kakao Games, and I got to take it for a spin. Now, I haven’t followed this upcoming MMORPG from Kakao developer Chrono Studio very closely, but I had heard some mutterings that it […]

Yep, we’re checking in on Dune: Awakening’s first couple of days of life again, only this time it’s for the actual real launch instead of the high-dollar headstart. Not only that but we’re happy to report that things appear to be going really well, which can often be astonishing news for a Funcom game. Right […]

Vague Patch Notes: MMORPG development is a guessing game

2025/06/12

So the next update for Warframe is a couple of weeks away, and I have to say, the promise of Duviri but with my Warframe instead of the current system is not in and of itself all that charming. I know that I still need to do the work required to get Kullervo and maybe my […]

Early access sandbox Pax Dei has officially delivered its Verse 3 update this week as promised. Servers were offline most of yesterday for the update, but it should be smooth sailing now. As readers will recall, Verse 3 – more colorfully known as Path of the Adventurer – is a major update for the MMO, […]
