2026/03/22

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!

2026/03/21

We’ve already told you about the magical capoeira girl patch previously, but the addition of this kind of character to Wuthering Waves kind of bears repeating, so that’s what we’re doing: Version 3.2 Resolution to Illuminate the Shadows is online with another character and some activities for the high-levels out there. Top of the list is the new […]

The Stream Team: The end is nigh for Planet Crafter

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/03/21

The end is nigh! Massively OP’s MJ is nearing the completion target for terraforming her world in Planet Crafter. She just has to finish populating the world with more mammals. However, there are still places MJ hasn’t explored and possible ruins she hasn’t uncovered — how could she possibly leave? While her planet continues to […]

2026/03/21

As Rocky once said, “It’s not about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.” And that’s the part of combat that MMO players often downplay — absorbing and deflecting damage in order to stay alive and fighting. However, Pantheon’s Visionary Realms isn’t overlooking the importance of […]

2026/03/21

Out of all of the yearly festivals in Lord of the Rings Online, the Spring Festival has always been my least favorite. I don’t hate it, exactly, but too many of the quests (shrew stomping, maze running) were stressful and annoying, and so I usually give this a soft pass. I mean, it’s a great […]

2026/03/21

I know, I know, another single-player game touting its MMO cred. At least hear it out before you crash out in the comments, OK? This one is called Don’t Lose Aggro, and you might remember it from when we first covered it last summer. It’s rolling into early access in a month. “Don’t Lose Aggro, […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/03/21

In Lord of the Rings Online, I mostly focus on two characters. My Minstrel is the one that I try to keep at the level and content cap so that she can experience everything new as it releases, while my Lore-master is a low-level completionist that I use to casually and gradually explore and experience […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/03/20

It’s been nearly six years since Massively OP’s MJ has pranced about the wilds of PixARK, and she’s missing those cute little block head dinos! Although she knows she surely has to start over, MJ is willing to brave the dangers. And what better time to poke back in than when the game is 57% […]

2026/03/20

“Kids, what are you doing out in the yard?” yells the mother. “We’re making a new MMORPG with multiclassing called Hollowed Oath!” the children yell back. “Okay, but don’t violate the terms of your agreement with Daybreak since y’all got busted about that private server thing!” “We won’t, mom!” the children promise. Elsewhere, The Cube, Save Us has moved […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/03/20

Up until now, early access MMORPG Bitcraft has faced a critical issue: the lack of critical success. No, really. The latest patch adds in critical chance and critical multipliers for profession equipment, providing a new type of gearing and progress. The benefit to criticals is obvious, as they provide extra progress or power to the […]

2026/03/20

Let’s get something out of the way right off the bat: Lineage II’s cascade of events that are happening over the next month are not because of spring, they are because of the spring update, which is a separate thing. That’s why the Black Coupon event and Red Libra event are happening now, despite neither sounding […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/03/20

Mabinogi has a good reason to celebrate this month with 18 candles on its birthday cake. Nexon’s anime sandbox title emerged back in March 2008, becoming somewhat of a cult favorite among certain MMORPG players. There’s plenty to do to join in the 18th anniversary festivities, including doing the “A Gift of Mysterious Magic” quest, […]

2026/03/20

If you’re a fan of the Final Fantasy series, you’re likely familiar with the Gold Saucer, a location that primarily exists as a minigame hub. Well guess what? That kind of location is now available in Blue Protocol Star Resonance thanks to the MMO’s latest patch. Best of all, it doesn’t appear to feature a slightly maddening […]

2026/03/20

If there’s one thing that Warframe players are aware of, it’s that time and patience are on the side of Nora Night during her Nightwave mixes. Players take part in numerous challenges every week under the watchful eye of Nora, and she rewards them with progress in terms of cosmetics. This time around, the next mix […]

2026/03/20

One of the biggest complaints that most MMO fans raise, especially in the case of mobile titles, is the feature that plays the game for you, letting gamers set their character off to auto-grind while they handle other responsibilities. If that kind of thing raises your hackles, then you might want to ignore Dominus Automa, a […]

2026/03/20

The fact that RuneScape Dragonwilds is getting a patch called Dowdun Reach this spring is not a shock; we’ve known about it since Jagex’s roadmap drop all the way back in December. But now, we have a hard date: March 31st. “Our next major update brings another area for you to explore – the ancient […]

Who here is looking to experience the side-scrolling mobile MMO MapleStory M on their PC? Evidently not many if initial reactions are to be believed, but that’s just what Nexon has done this week as the game is available on Steam, with all of the slings and arrows that comes with for game studios. “Whether players are […]

2026/03/20

We’re pretty much into the second half of March and that means it’s time for the second half of March’s content update in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis. But then if you’re a regular player, you probably already knew that. This portion of March’s overall month of stuff to do involves a pair of limited-time […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/03/20

So I don’t think many people will argue with my assertion that City of Heroes is the gold standard for developing a superhero MMORPG. I don’t just mean that in the sense that it was the first and it was what all superhero MMORPGs will be compared to; I mean that it is the unambiguous top […]
