2026/02/20

Just because there’s a big question mark looming over the long-term future of 2019’s WoW Classic doesn’t mean that there aren’t things to do in the meanwhile. Adventurers going through the Mists of Pandaria expansion can look forward to Escalation coming out soon, especially considering that it went up on the PTR this week. “The […]

2026/02/20

It takes all kinds for internet spaceship sandboxes like Star Citizen to hum, and one of those kinds is the industrialist player: the rock cruncher, the space trucker, the material and manufacturing magnate. If you’ve felt as if this aspect of the game is lacking, then maybe some planned updates from CIG will ease your […]

While Massively OP’s MJ already celebrated on Star Trek Online’s 16th anniversary, the actual event had not started yet. Now that it is running, she obviously has to celebrate again! But this party won’t be all fun and games (despite Q’s meddling). Starting with the new episode Curse of Phrygia then moving on to The […]

2026/02/20

Amidst all the drama surrounding Highguard, you could be forgiven for potentially forgetting that the game is actually… like… playable. You can play it right now. And while it’s promising another new game mode soon, the newest patch features a new base in the form of Cloudreach that allows both elevated nests for snipers to use […]

2026/02/20

Time to kick up your feet and listen to a classic MMO tune! This week’s pick is We All Lift Together, a popular shanty from, oddly enough, Warframe and written by Keith Power. Give it a listen and see if you’re not whistling it for the rest of the day! And if you have any […]

2026/02/20

I was surprised yesterday to realize that Nightingale had patched up on my Steam Deck without a peep from the devs, but I had only to be patient: Inflexion has now dropped a Steam post as well as a video explain what’s up. And what’s up is the co-op survival sandbox RPG’s second birthday since […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/02/20

I said it, and I’m actually going to deliver on it this time: I’m bringing you back to another round of Eldegarde. That’s Notorious Studios’ recent mini-MMO, which primarily plays as an extraction RPG. And yet it has so many features that MMO players love to see that it’s been self-dubbed a mini-MMO. The game […]

2026/02/20

Robert Frost’s poem The Road Not Taken was published in August of 1915, and it has endured an immense popularity since then. Many people can quote the last couplet of the poem (“I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference”), and for years the title alone conjures images of […]

2026/02/20

This weekend will be Pokemon Go local Kalos Tour, and as we mentioned in our prep guide, it hasn’t been looking good. We’ve been expecting a big announcement to drop right before the event, and we were right, but it’s not a great one. The problematic-since-release feature, which has seen some improvement, is taking another […]

2026/02/20

We’ve been chuckling in the Massively OP office over Blizzard’s insanely packed infodump that it’s been doing this week for World of Warcraft’s Midnight expansion. Instead of one or maybe two items per day, it’s been a minimum of four rushed posts, and last night was no exception. The infodump period may be winding down, […]

2026/02/20

If you’ve been playing an MMORPG for long enough, you have hit that point before. Not the point wherein there is truly nothing to do in the game, but the point wherein you have accomplished all your goals, earned all your rewards, cleared everything you want. And so then you sit there, log into the game, […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/02/20

This week’s Massively Overthinking is inspired by a tweet I saw from SMITE, of all games, where the Hi-Rez devs asked players to propose one god to delete from the game. Obviously, this is not a serious proposition, but in the aggregate, the answers can kinda show a trend in what people are tired of, […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/02/19

Mercenary Plate is just too darn good in Mortal Online 2. That isn’t intentional, but it is how things have shaken out, hence why the next patch that’s going into public testing on February 25th will involve stat normalization for plate armor. No one wants to pick armor that’s just not going to be good in […]

Every once in a while, into my inbox launches a game so ridiculous I just have to write it up, and today, that game is Roombattle, a “six-player vacuum-party-battler” that could not be winking harder about its very obvious pun name. Spanish developer Dust Games announced this afternoon that it’s launching March 25th, with a […]

If you’ve got a high-tier toon in Eterspire that you’re itching to toss into a new realm of danger and adventure, then you’re in luck because the latest patch has introduced precisely that. Two of them, even. The first of the mobile and PC MMO’s new areas is the Isle of the Fallen Stone, which promises […]
