Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/03

Last weekend, Star Citizen challenged its players to wrest control of an Idris capital ship from developers in a special in-game event, which was ostensibly about showing off the ship’s new interior. However, it was probably hard for most players to really take in the scenery when they were focused on gunning down people in-game […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/03

When RuneScape put out its Necromancy skill, it did so alongside some specific combat updates that were so well-received by the playerbase that gamers clamored for them to come to other combat skill lines. Now the time for those adjustments is nigh as Jagex will be releasing a wide-ranging combat refresh on Monday, March 4th, […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/03

You have to love the absolute hubris of Jedi in Star Wars because there’s no object that they don’t think they can levitate, smash, or slice into tiny bits with their laser pointers. Even the moon. Especially the moon. Vincent is gathering up a considerable amount of bravado before assaulting our lunar friend here in […]

The Daily Grind: Are there any MMOs in which you’d...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/03

Let’s be clear about something: The MMO genre does not have zero overlap with the roguelike genre. I mean, the Diablo games exist in the larger genre space, after all. But there are also a lot of games where that is definitely not the case. Sure, it might suck when you continually fail to get […]

2024/03/03

You know how everyone likes to joke that M*A*S*H the TV show was several times longer than the actual Korean War? Let us pause to consider that World War II Online (aka Battleground Europe), which launched in 2001, has lapped its source material a few times as well. In any case, this ongoing virtual conflict […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/02

Whether its continued existence constitutes a blessing or its continued neglect a curse, RIFT has made it to its 13th birthday as of March 1st. The long-running fantasy MMO has seen ups and downs, especially since the dissolution of Trion Worlds and transfer to Gamigo. To celebrate the occasion, the company is giving a free […]

Genshin Impact brings a new character and potion shop...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/02

The spring season brings a lot of things – flowers, rain, allergies for some folks – but we’re not sure managing an alchemical potion shop is one of the usual arrivals. Yet that’s just what’s coming to Genshin Impact when it releases Update 4.5: Blades Weaving Betwixt Brocade on Wednesday, March 13th, along with a […]

Time sure flies! Massively OP’s MJ remembers way back when Black Desert Online first came out and all the fun she had exploring the new game. Over the years, there have been many new beginnings as starter experiences changed — and she kept experiencing each one! Now, BDO turns eight years old tomorrow, and MJ […]

2024/03/02

There’s a special agony reserved for faithful fans of a franchise when they see said franchise make unforced errors, decline in quality, or fail to address critical issues. Love mingles with dismay, and frustration ends up tainting enjoyment. As much as I truly do love Lord of the Rings Online — and I’ve been writing […]

2024/03/02

Dragonite: While this was not known until two years ago, in the 1970s Dragonite starred in a show titled Which Animals Can Survive In A Hot Car that aired on Australian television. The worst part is that aside from the title, it doesn’t even involve hot cars. It mostly involves salt being sprinkled on fish […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/02

There are certainly a lot of developing MMO projects to keep tabs on these days, but one that stands out to me as a potential strong contender is Tarisland. I initially wrote this off as yet another lame World of Warcraft clone, but positive reports from testing, a good amount of studio promotion, and what […]

Massively OP’s MJ loves Darkovia, so when a new quest cropped up in AQ3D’s werewolf- and vampire-laden realm yesterday, she knew she had to dive right in! Of course, she also wants to share the experience with you. She’ll drop into Boog’s tavern to start the story of A Shadow of One’s Self, a vampire […]

2024/03/02

Well, what do you know, Camelot Unchained has declared a launch window of late 2025. It’s going to launch! Can you believe that? Can you? Do you believe that? Because I find it somewhat dubious after a decade! But the newly renamed and investor-bolstered Unchained Studio (fka City State Entertainment) has now declared that it […]

The non-stop JPEG party that is Pax Dei’s Discord continues on once again as developer Mainframe Industries is using the occasion of the one year anniversary of its announcement as cause to show off more in-game visuals.

2024/03/01

It’s hard for me to believe that Star Wars Galaxies rogue server SWG Legends is officially eight years old this week, but it’s true, and the player-run dev team behind the project are celebrating with a wee patch. Players can log in this week to snag badges and new gift paintings, plus the patch fixed […]

2024/03/01

While its final tally may not be record-breaking in the annals of crowdfunding, a win is a win for multiplayer life sim Galactic Getaway. The Animal Crossing-in-space title surpassed its $50,000 Kickstarter ask to end at $65,847 in the final hours of February. This was enough to propel Galactic Getaway across three stretch goals, adding […]
