2024/06/13

Lost Ark’s really been churning out the content previews this week; just yesterday, Amazon’s video on the June content blast was making apologies for the roadmap not being out. Well, it needn’t have bothered, as the roadmap is here already. But now it’s apologizing for not having everything hammered out with Smilegate following the Korean […]

2024/06/13

Even given the general pullback in the games industry from using the term MMO, I sure am noticing a bunch of other games that have drawn a whole ton of inspiration from MMOs anyway. There’s a bevy of survival sandboxes, gankboxes, and even cozy crafting games that wouldn’t exist if not for the MMOs that […]

2024/06/13

Today’s Tarisland teaser video is a bit of good news bad news: It’s good because it shows off the female Paladin (including her shiny boots, for some reason), a newly constructed gender-unlocked version of the class, which the company previously announced. But it’s also going to elicit some grumping too, as it’s one of only […]

We’re all time travelers! We travel to the future at the rate of one second per second. Every single machine you will ever operate is a time machine because it travels through time (until it no longer travels through anything). What you’re thinking of when you say “time machine” is a multi-directional time machine. Glad […]

2024/06/13

Clearly, Summer 2024’s theme is “Let’s see how much MMO stuff we can pack into three months!” Joining this effort is Dungeons and Dragons Online, which aims to have its new Myth Drannor expansion out on July 31st.

With the news that Guild Wars 2 is adding homesteads in its next expansion, Nerdy Bookahs is not alone in asking a whole ton of questions about what this system may and may not contain. “But hopefully, we will be ably to freely place items and be creative. I guess the guild halls are a […]

Even though WoW Classic’s fourth phase for its Season of Discovery has been delayed in order to let the other variants of the MMORPG breathe, Blizzard is still eager to let players know just what to expect in Phase 4, with some of the usual additions as well as some possibly unexpected ones. Naturally, the […]

2024/06/13

Now that you’ve heard what our own writer thought about his hands-on with New World Aeternum at Summer Game Fest, you can get your own eyeballs on the game – if you’re a console player, that is. That’s because Amazon abruptly announced this morning that it’s opening sign-ups for a console beta test in July. […]

2024/06/13

How’s everyone recovering from all this New World Aeternum news coming out of Summer Games Fest? It’s been kind of a confusing time for me, as I had spent a chunk of time prepared to see an actual new game as Amazon told us and not, well, Tyler’s turf. But that’s not all bad. In some ways, […]

2024/06/13

In case there’s anyone out there still confused: New World Aeternum is not a single player or co-op game. I know the Summer Game Fest announcement of the “new game” was confusing, frustrating, and surprising in unpleasant ways, but it also masked what exactly is happening in the update, and I say that as someone who participated in […]

2024/06/02

Age of Water (aka Moist Crossout) has quite a way to go before it manages to get into a more suitably playable state, even at a $30 price point for its early access. Three Whales Studio recognizes this, and it’s got a general overlook at plans to address several current issues with the aquatic multiplayer […]

Do you remember when you were a kid and you got to poke around and explore a cool place? You’d eagerly run around it, committing all of the nooks and crannies to memories while allowing your imagination to contemplate the possibilities.

The swamps are swampier and the tutorials are more informative according to Past Fate, which continues its seemingly endless march through closed alpha with its latest patch that looks to be primarily about refining the current pieces of the sandbox MMORPG.

Now that you’ve got the Jurassic Park hymn playing in your head from today’s headline picture, you’re prepared to romp around with dinos, stick your arms into giant piles of triceratops poo, and be eaten anytime you sit on the toilet.

A lot of people like to lie to themselves and say that the metagame in a given MMO does not influence any choices they make. This is not true. If you really want to play a character who has a gun and a game does not feature guns, and you decide you are not going […]
