2024/09/08

Hopefully in 2024, there’s not as much of a stigma for the player who wants to experience an MMORPG largely solo. World of Warcraft is home to many such gamers, which is why Blizzard created a guide shepherding new players through a largely solo path. The studio lays out a leveling path for complete newbies […]

One Shots: The concert that ended the world

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/09/08

Poor Ragnaros. This World of Warcraft dude’s been trying to live up to his namesake by trying to destroy the world for the past 20 years, and all he’s gotten for his troubles are countless deaths, corpse desecration, and use in plenty of memes. But at least he gives Minimalistway a thrill and an opportunity […]

The Daily Grind: What’s a daily MMO task you struggle...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/09/08

Pretty much every MMO has some form of daily task, just because that’s a good way to get people logging in every day to take care of things. Even if it’s not something put forth by a system with daily bonuses or the like, there are probably things you only do once per day. But […]

2024/09/08

Would you pay $27 for a subscription to an MMORPG? Lord British’s tiny and controversial crowdfunded MMO Shroud of the Avatar is going to test that theory, as it’s added two new monthly sub pledges in addition to the existing one, meaning players could choose to pay as much as $27 for their monthly sub […]

2024/09/07

Back in June, we first reported on Polaris, a co-op PvE shooter that sees players take up the role of superpowered individuals to fight guerilla battles against an enemy force known as the Regime. The game’s major hook was its fully destructible environments and it was headed for a pre-alpha test over this weekend. Unfortunately, […]

2024/09/07

The best thing about being a Necromancer is that you can make friends in a rather literal sense, and now thanks to the most recent patch to RuneScape, those Necromancers have a new buddy to call on in the form of the phantom guardian. As one might be able to guess, the phantom guardian is […]

2024/09/07

Light, dark: Far be it for Massively OP’s MJ to favor one side over another. She’s an equal opportunity slaughterer; In V Rising, she’ll kill both sides for their loot equally.

2024/09/07

One of the most important yet easiest to overlook parts of your character’s growth in Lord of the Rings Online is investing into virtues, especially early on in the long grind to the current level cap of 150. If you want a good start to your character, then by the time you enter Moria at […]

2024/09/07

When you play MMOs for a long time and enjoy observing different aspects of them, you’re going to notice mobs beyond abstract loot piñatas with buffs and debuffs attached to their name. I really do enjoy zooming in to check out enemy art styles, animations, and even their death throes. If an art team does […]

Betawatch: Corepunk hits pause, Guild Wars 2 presses...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/09/06

Is there such a thing as too much success – and too much money? That’s what Corepunk would have us believe, as earlier this week it halted preorder sales in the middle of its fourth alpha, which has been rocky indeed. That also means there’s no clean way into that alpha as sales won’t resume […]

2024/09/06

The beginning of last month saw Allods Online leap back on to our radar after the MMORPG saw a little spike of activity on Steam – a metric that has been maintained with what might be characterized as machine-like efficiency – ahead of its Update 15. That content patch has since gone live with a […]
