For the past little while now we’ve been tracking the development of Jump Ship, the self-described “co-op PvE space adventure” from developer Keepsake Games that lets up to four players come together to crew a ship and take up PvE missions that frequently combine seamless FPS and ship combat.

2025/05/29

Last week, the Kickstarter success story category gained another entry with the successful funding of Astrobotanica, a detailed cozy survivalbox that might have escaped our notice but for the promise of co-op… eventually. As pitched, Astrobotanica (which we’re not gonna put in all caps because owwwww) is a “relaxing survival game” from Polish studio Space Goblin […]

Who here is ready for another time-limited progression server in EverQuest? If you answered in the affirmative, then you’ve likely been keeping an eye on the Fangbreaker server’s impending arrival ever since it was announced last April. If you answered in the negative, well the server is open now anyway. As mentioned previously, Fangbreaker has […]

2025/05/29

Today is the last day of online life for Dauntless, one of the favorite titles of MOP’s Chris until the game’s disastrous Awakening update. And since he’s our resident critter slayer for this game, it’s only fair that he bids it farewell. Join him today at 2:00 p.m. EDT as he plays the game one […]

2025/05/29

Hey, do you remember Ember Sword? No. You do not. Of course you don’t because we do our best not to give them airtime, plus your brain files “crypto MMORPG” into the same place that you keep your deep thoughts about dog leavings. Well, it turns out the game went into early access in December! […]

2025/05/29

It’s always a risky proposition to go all-in on an MMO lifetime subscription, but sometimes it really pays off — especially if the game lasts a while and you continue to be invested in it. Star Trek Online is appealing to such players as it offers a discounted lifetime sub for the next month. The […]

2025/05/29

When we first looked at the beta patch notes for City of Heroes: Homecoming’s i28p2 Legacy, the first joke I made to MOP’s Bree was that we can tell the game’s current operators have inherited one trait from Paragon Studios: a complete failure to understand or establish whom the game is being balanced for, much […]

We don’t know where spring went, but it’s almost over, and that means The Elder Scrolls Online’s long-awaited Seasons of the Worm Cult is just around the corner.

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/05/29

To my knowledge, Lord of the Rings Online is unique in the MMORPG space in that it had to create a special faction of enemy creatures so that the “good” player characters would have something to fight in PvP. This was done for lore reasons, as the Tolkien Estate wasn’t too crazy about the idea […]

Funcom delivered its look at Dune Awakening’s lategame last night, effectively showing off the content that wasn’t actually open to testers during the event earlier in May. The team discusses the MMO’s story dungeons, social hubs, map travel, and endgame combat too. Of particular note is the Landsraad, which is basically the focal point of […]

The first look at Dungeons and Dragons Online’s Return to Ravenloft expansion is on the test servers this week, and fans immediately flocked to the Lamannia preview shard to check out the vampiric Dhampir race.

2025/05/29

There is a recurring misapprehension among a lot of diehard fans of progression content: They believe that MMO players who do not want to take on the hardest tier of content are just scared of it. This, of course, is not true. But I also think it’s important to note that it is adjacent to […]

The summertime will be upon us in the northern hemisphere before you know it, which means it’ll be advisable to stay inside from the heat and the human interaction. If that’s your plan and you happen to be a fan of the anime MMO Closers, then you’re going to want to know what the next […]

2025/05/28

Old school-styled MMORPG Monsters & Memories runs a bunch of playtests. That’s nothing new to our regulars by now. But perhaps the info drop for when these tests happen has been kind of obnoxious for you, especially if you’re not subscribed to a newsletter or staring unblinking at the game’s Discord server. If so, you’ll […]
