2024/08/25

When I drive around and look at the sea of boring cars with mostly the same shapes in the same four colors, I can understand why a vibrant variety of mounts in MMOs appeal to us so much. When you don’t have to worry about safety ratings or MPG and can enjoy the aesthetic, why […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/08/25

I remember for a long time that there was a sentiment in the City of Heroes fandom that the game was horribly languishing and suffering because it was being managed by Matt “Positron” Miller. While it was true that he was the lead designer at the time, this was a sentiment that largely went away […]

2024/08/24

Last month saw RuneScape earn itself an eyebrow raise when developer Jagex asked players a variety of questions about the MMORPG’s microtransactions, particularly since some of the questions asked about whether players would like to see its lockboxes removed. Since then, players have received an address from Mod Pips about the survey, which doesn’t really […]

What does Planet Crafter expect? The survival game wants Massively OP’s MJ to advance the terraforming of the planet, but all she wants to do is run around and explore!

2024/08/24

The past month of Lord of the Rings Online’s operation has been one of the busier summer months in this game’s history. Update 41 arrived at the tail-end of July, there was (and continues to be) an uproar among Lore-master players for their changes, the new legendary servers arrived, the Famer’s Faire returned, and the […]

2024/08/24

Yesterday we pointed out how headstart for World of Warcraft: The War Within was already seeing players who were actively spoiling the story ahead of the expansion’s formal launch. Well, we can now add another name to that dubious list: Blizzard itself, which has already shared a couple of major in-game cutscenes ahead of time. […]

2024/08/24

One of the truly neat social side effects of MMOs is that you get to connect with people all around the world and learn about various cultures and countries. The other night in my guild chat, an Austrian was going on and on about the various types of sausages they have there and how hard […]

2024/08/23

If you walk without rhythm, you won’t attract the launch. Wait, is that how the phrase goes for Dune Awakening? We kind of lost interest in the fourth book. How are the movies? The important thing is that the game has revealed it’s launching early next year, so that’s closer to a final date but […]

It’s been quite some time since we heard much about Old School RuneScape’s Sailing skill – there was confirmation of phase one’s completion in May – but Jagex is ready to spill lots of beans once more with an in-depth behind the scenes dev blog about what’s been happening since.

2024/08/23

We won’t be covering this game too much owing to the fact that it’s a purely single-player experience, but it’s worth touching on lightly as it’s from Bethesda Softworks and may be of interest to Elder Scrolls Online fans and folks who play Fallout Shelter. It’s The Elder Scrolls: Castles, a new mobile game that […]
