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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Massively Overpowered ·

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 […]

Massively Overpowered ·

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

“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 […]
