2024/03/01

It’s been a long, winding, weird, and litigious road, but Myth of Empires has made it to a Steam release, and MOP’s Chris is ready to take his first-ever look inside of this new survival MMO. What sort of things will he find? Was this game really worth all of the legal hullabaloo? We’ll try […]

2024/03/01

Pokemon Go‘s Sinnoh Tours and Season of Timeless Travels are both behind us, and we’re left with… World of Wonders? Based on the latest announcements and leaks, apparently we’ll be adventuring “with” baby Ultra Beast Poipole (which should evolve into Naganadel at some point), getting buffer Tapus thanks to their signature Fairy move being featured, and […]

2024/03/01

When it comes to superheroes, you can generally get a lot of information from the costume they wear – it’s a big part of comic book visual language, after all. With that in mind, it makes sense that Ship of Heroes wants character stories to be conveyed in their outfits, and that’s what’s being showcased […]

2024/03/01

How does New World work when using a gamepad as a control input? Well, you can either wait for the Season of the Guardian to find out, you can leap into the PTR to test it, or you can read this developer blog all about it. Either way, you’ve got options. “Options” is easily the […]

Changyou is sunsetting its global Shadowbane revival...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/01

So, remember back in 2021 when Shadowbane came back from the dead? I’m now sorry to report it’s dying. Again. Longtime MMORPG fans will remember that the game was originally sunsetted back in 2009, and the industry said farewell to the PvP sandbox, at least temporarily. That’s because Chinese company Changyou picked up the rights […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/01

When City of Heroes waved farewell in 2012, I had an army of alts who were, at most, in their mid-30s. And I loved that game. It’s not as if leveling in the game, even then, was somehow onerous or a chore. Indeed, that’s an area where the game has always excelled. It was me […]

Epic Games rebuts ransomware gang’s 189GB data hack...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/01

This story looks to be a case of not everything posted on the internet is true: A ransomware gang made a bold claim on a darkweb site that it had managed to get its hands on some serious data from Epic Games, but the company itself is claiming that no such hack has happened. The […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/01

“Ashes does questing just a little bit differently than other MMOs.” That’s a good heads-up for any fans that Intrepid Studios’ upcoming MMORPG may require some readjustment of expectations and routines. With Ashes of Creation’s Alpha Two test on the horizon for this year, the studio used this time to explain the daily questing loop […]

2024/03/01

Last night’s Campfire Chat stream for Diablo IV saw the Blizzard team reveal The Gauntlet, a “fixed non-linear Dungeon that will pit players of the same class against each other for top rank.” Starting March 5th, players of the OARPG will head to the southwestern port in Gea Kul in the Seasonal Realm on World […]

2024/03/01

If you’ve been worried about the future of Star Trek Online, Neverwinter, or Champions Online recently… well, who can blame you? It’s been a weird time for the games with Embracer in flames, Gearbox about to be sold off, and Cryptic being shunted off to a tiny European branch of the company. This is why […]

The Daily Grind: Which MMO have you kept installed...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/01

A few weeks back, I asked y’all about the MMOs that have a permanent place on your device, the ones you’ll never uninstall. I even showed a pic of my little list of permanently installed games and poked fun at myself for even keeping some MMOs I haven’t played in years but just can’t bear […]

2024/03/01

One thing Massively OP’s MJ has been very interested in since its release last December is DDO’s Paws and Peril. How could she not love a quest called Catastrophe involving kitties and dragons? And what better time to indulge than for the game’s 18th birthday celebration? Join us live at 8:00 p.m. for this Leap […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/03/01

The Nightingale team’s admission that players are clamoring for an offline version of the game – and that Inflexion is now planning to do it much sooner than anticipated – has left me a bit bewildered about where I stand on the topic. Nightingale actually began as an MMO in its original design and had […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/02/29

After taking a brutal and unexpected axe to all of its PvP systems earlier this year, Vindictus is looking to shore up that self-inflicted wound with more content. Some of this healing comes in the form of this week’s Dead of Night update that added a new raid against a vampire boss. This raid takes […]

2024/02/29

The Wilderness zone of Old School RuneScape is looking to get a little more wild and smell a lot more like zombies and sea salt. That might sound like an awful combination on the face of it, but it’s apparently what players of the MMORPG are looking forward to according to Jagex, so they’ve taken […]

2024/02/29

Mortal Online 2 studio StarVault is smooshing around its sub and – if we’re reading it right – sweetening the deal by offering players the chance to pay it money. That’s not a joke! Apparently, there was no way to sub during various free promos. Now there is. And as a bonus, SV is adding […]

2024/02/29

Happy 15th birthday, Runes of Magic! Runewaker’s Gameforge-published MMORPG is hosting a party for its players to mark the western version’s new milestone by launching an all-new minigame for players to enjoy. And what could celebrate 15 years of operation better than “festive artillery”? You read that right: Players are invited to speak with one […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/02/29

Both the Pokemon GO’s Sinnoh Tour LA Tour and now the Global Tour have both ended, and while there are good points to be had for both events, overall, the Hoenn Tours were more impactful, even if they were low in value. I’m not one to normally give praise for the sake of giving praise, […]

2024/02/29

Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen appears to be trying to exude a renewed sense of vim and vigor in the February producer’s letter, which gets right past the preamble and outlines several lines’ worth of progress updates made to the MMORPG as it opens its current season to additional backer tiers. Updates applied to the […]
