2025/09/27

When I’m not playing an MMO that is of some interest to me, there’s always that feeling of FOMO as time continues to march into the future.

Betawatch: Ship of Heroes’ first week out of beta

2025/09/26

As a general rule of thumb, you do not want the discussion around your just-launched game to have anything to do with your price tag. If that’s what people are talking about, something has gone wrong. And that is all anyone wants to talk about when it comes to Ship of Heroes, which has launched so […]

2025/09/26

It’s arguably a tale of two halves in the newest patch for our version of MapleStory. On the one hand, there’s an imposing looking new boss to fight; on the other hand, players can celebrate octopi. That’s kind of the Cliff’s Notes version of what the latest content update has to offer, or at least […]

2025/09/26

It’s been a couple of months since Wildgate threw open its gates, possibly wildly, and the developers at Dreamhaven and Moonshot want players to know that more is on the way.

2025/09/26

In the wake of Talk Like A Pirate Day, there are a handful of MMORPGs that truly own the moment, and one of those is Pirates of the Caribbean Online. Rather, it would do so, if Disney hadn’t closed it down 12 years ago. So now it’s left to players to continue that tradition, and […]

2025/09/26

An MMORPG class is effectively your entire in-game identity from a character and mechanical standpoint, so naturally players are probably going to have opinions about their chosen representation in the world of Elder Scrolls Online.

If you’re an old-timey MMO player and/or internet user, you surely remember the instant messenger app Xfire, which allowed PC users to chat, track their game time, collab with friends, post pics, and rank games.
