Massively Overpowered ·

2025/03/09

I am not really involved with the recent drama around Lord of the Rings Online’s server transfers, but the situation really does seem to represent one of the biggest possible fears realized for fans of the game. No, it’s not some sort of imminent shutdown or cataclysm, but it’s a sign that the team currently […]

2025/03/09

Corepunk certainly is no stranger to delays, so seeing the online MMOARPG push back its February patch to the end of this month should shock nobody who’s been following the game. However, the studio said that the update will be worth it and gave an extensive preview of what’s coming when it drops. The next […]

2025/03/08

The beginning of this year marked the reveal of the next game to come out of Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem developer Wolcen Studio – Project Pantheon, a PvPvE “ExtrAction RPG” that drops players into a dark fantasy world of historical mythologies to… well, PvPvE and extract in action RPG gameplay. It kind of reads pretty […]

2025/03/08

Have you been enjoying World of Warcraft’s Undermine(d) update enough that you’ve already plowed through its recently added raid? Then you’ve likely already seen the closing cinematic that caps off the encounter and offers some vague hints to what’s next. In that case, you can relive the whole tease thanks to a spoiler-y video uploaded […]

2025/03/08

One thing that has always bugged Massively OP’s MJ is all the junk cluttering up her Astroneer planets — especially after Project C.H.E.E.R. first appeared with its massive blue space shipping containers. But with the EXO C.A.R.E.S event, she can focus on cleaning up the planets by recycling the debris (and get rewarded for it, […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/03/08

Pokemon GO’s just announced the next Go Fest, but the recent Unova Tour LA Tour and now the Global Tour have both recently concluded, and I’ll admit, the fact that the LA Tour had no glaring gameplay bugs or massive lag (as there were still performance issues) was surprising. However, as I’ve said about past […]

2025/03/08

It’s a big launch weekend for Throne and Liberty as the NCsoft and Amazon MMORPG brought its Wilds of Talandre update online, and with roughly 48 hours of time in players’ hands, some opinions are beginning to form. One of the update’s main features, its new solo dungeons, are earning some ire from players, with […]

2025/03/08

A few years ago, it seemed like progression servers were all the rage in MMOs. And why not? They’re a great way to revisit content, to level alongside a community, and to freshen up stale settings. MMORPGs are in a unique position to be able to offer this, and some studios have gladly done so. […]

2025/03/08

Sometimes, things you really, really want are added to your favorite games, even when they aren’t major gameplay things. And that’s exactly what happened to Massively OP’s MJ today! She has long wanted to wear both her Mo cape and her flaming wings in AdventureQuest 3D, and now she can because today’s update added this […]

2025/03/08

We do not hand out an annual award for most unfortunately named MMORPG, but you have to imagine that if we did, BitCraft would have gotten a nod or two for making people think of cryptocurrency despite its having nothing to do with it. But it really has nothing to do with that, and you can […]

2025/03/07

Star Wars Galaxies rogue server SWG Legends has released its winter newsletter this past week as the server celebrates its ninth birthday. But the dev team is already looking ahead. “We’ve long surpassed the lifespan of the original game and are now putting our sites on the milestone 10th anniversary,” the team writes. “[W]e have […]

2025/03/07

Real Warframe fans are mostly looking forward to the game’s next major event being the anniversary festivities starting off on Friday, but that doesn’t mean that nothing is happening with the game this week until then. The St. Patrick’s Day celebration has started, and perhaps most notably for players that includes a color lineup featuring […]

The First Descendant is continuing to hype up its earlier previewed March update as this week brought another developer livestream for the Season 2 Episode 2: Into the Void update, which now has a launch date of Thursday, March 13th. The livestream granted players a rundown of what this patch is bringing, including the Sigma […]

2025/03/07

Being a Bonemancer in Tree of Savior has got to be hard to explain to people. Like, when you tell people you dress in black and white and you freely manipulate bones, everyone assumes “oh, you’re a Necromancer.” And then you have to explain that a Necromancer is something else and it manipulates the dead […]

2025/03/07

EVE Frontier, the “hardcore” survival space MMO that CCP says can’t possibly do what it does without being on the blockchain, is apparently taking its in-game economy extremely seriously, or at least seriously enough that CCP Games is hiring a former real-world economist as part of its ongoing efforts to “[build] a truly open financial […]

If you’re into tabletop RPGs, then you’re probably familiar with Roll20, the virtual tabletop (VTT) website that lets players enjoy their favorite TTRPGs without all of that pesky “meeting up in meatspace” stuff (while still featuring the Scheduling Boss – GMs know what’s up). Apparently the co-creator of Roll20, Riley Dutton, has formed an indie […]

2025/03/07

Over the past three weeks, players trying to get in to ARK: Survival Ascended have been having a lot of trouble, and we all have some likely very bored script kiddies to thank as the game’s server host has been the target of frequent DDoS attacks. Problems first started to crop up on February 20th, […]

2025/03/07

If you thought that the first dungeon that Elder Scrolls Online previewed was a bit of a mouthful, you may be pleased to learn that the other dungeon being bundled with the MMORPG’s Fallen Banners DLC is easier to read in general, although it doesn’t look any less dangerous to visit. That’s sort of the […]
