2024/03/16

Forget raids or the epic books or even Bingo Boffin; we all know that the true endgame in Lord of the Rings Online is the parade of fashion. Heck, that’s the case is pretty much every MMO. And while I am by no means the greatest fashionista you’ll ever meet, I have been known to […]

2024/03/16

Today, March 16th, is the day when EverQuest first launched in 1999, and 25 years later this elder statesman of our genre is still going strong. That means it’s time to celebrate with goodies and data, which are two of Bree’s favorite things (the third is probably chocolate). The infographic below has plenty of fun […]

2024/03/16

As much as we like to hold ourselves up as ironclad individuals above the influence of others, c’mon, we all feel the tug and pull of FOMO when everyone is flocking in a direction. Hearing a friend enthusiastic about a game has the potential to get me pretty excited about it too, especially if our […]

Betawatch: MultiVersus rises from its grave

2024/03/16

Everyone was a little suspicious when MultiVersus shut down and promised it would be back again some day, since we were all pretty sure we’d heard this song before and we know how it goes. But to our great shock, the game is coming back after all, complete with a targeted launch date of May […]

You know, until this press release dropped in my inbox, I had completely forgotten that Titan Quest 2 was in development, which is great for me as I got to enjoy the experience of realizing it all over again. Yep, the sequel to the original classic multiplayer-optional ARPG was announced last summer, and it’s just […]

2024/03/15

While Mad World doesn’t have a group finder in the usual sense, it does have a party recruitment tool as of the OARPG’s latest patch, which might be useful for those looking to group up for some delves. Maybe. The UI in question (which suffers from some rather unfortunate translation as the buttons instruct players […]

2024/03/15

Back in 2022 we threw a spotlight on Midnight Ghost Hunt, a multiplayer 4v4 game of hide-and-seek in the same vein as Prop Hunt and Witch It, only players who are hiding have opportunities to menace the hunters. The game has been in early access since March of that year, making updates along the way […]

2024/03/15

It really would have been easy to just sort of kick Craftopia into the dumpster when Pocketpair had an actual runaway success on its hands in the form of Palworld, but the game is still chugging along and has just received its spring update. And it’s a springy update indeed, as it includes future technology […]

2024/03/15

When it comes to adding updates to a survival sandbox (or any MMO/multiplayer game), it’s generally a good idea to cast a wide net. The net being thrown out by Enshrouded is wide indeed, as the game’s 2024 update roadmap covers the gamut from furniture to biomes, dungeons to water, cosmetics to quests, and nearly […]

2024/03/15

A battle royale shooter like THE FINALS very often lives and dies by getting new seasonal content, so it’s probably little surprise that this week’s launch of Season 2 is jam-packed with things for players to do, whether it’s fighting on a new map, checking out new game modes, or blowing apart others with shiny […]

2024/03/15

Zenith Infinite Realms – the obstacle course-filled OARPG side piece that Ramen VR put out last month, not the virtual reality MMORPG that players backed in 2019 – has put out a mid-season update that’s focused on some new content for the game. At least in terms of some new course variations, anyway, which is […]

St. Patrick’s Day is coming soon, but DC Universe Online is getting into the Emerald Isle spirit ahead of time the only way it knows how: with the return of its annual Mister Mxyzptlk’s Mischief event.

It’s increasingly easy to pair up with people around the world in Final Fantasy XIV, but as it currently stands data center travel is limited to a single region. You can play with friends on any North American data center, but you can’t visit the house of a friend on the European servers… but that’s […]

St Patrick’s day this year happens to fall on a joykill Sunday, but if you were planning to celebrate in video games rather than in a pub, then Gamigo’s blocky sandbox Trove might pose a suitable destination. That’s because the team has brought back the St Qubeslick event for the occasion. “Taking place from now […]

It’s finally over, at least until the next round of merges this summer: Lost Ark is now fully back online after nearly two days of downtime for some servers. Amazon’s plan was to take down the remaining merging servers Wednesday and have them back up around 16 hours later – not an inconsiderable feat given […]
