2024/02/27

The sandbox MMORPG Pax Dei is extremely proud of its plantlife and animal life, and just in case you doubt us, then you need to only look at the massive gallery of images that the devs shared on Discord over the past few weeks, offering a look at a wide assortment of life from its […]

2024/02/27

All right, so if you’re playing EverQuest II, you have plenty of achievements tracking throughout the entire year as the Year of Darkpaw rolls on. But if you’re not a big fan of wondering what in the world the year’s achievements will look like, you can be happy that the entire year’s worth of tradeskill […]

2024/02/27

Star Wars has had its fair share of pirates and scoundrels over the years, and for 12 weeks this winter, SWTOR players are invited to dip into the underworld to grab some new rewards as they duke it out in the PvP scene. PvP Season 5: Pirate’s Pluder begins today and will run over the […]

2024/02/27

With 25 million players behind it and all sorts of publicity, Palworld isn’t hurting for momentum at the moment. Helping out in this regard is this week’s Patch 0.1.5 and a spate of fixes and adjustments to various issues across the game’s scene. With Tuesday’s update to PC, Palworld began to backup save data on […]

2024/02/27

Oh man, Age of Empires II was my jam back in the early 2000s. Along with many of you, surely, I sunk in so much time playing Microsoft’s hit RTS civ game. But the question is, will the Age of Empires format translate well into a mobile experience? Let’s hope so, as Xbox Games subsidiary […]

Skull and Bones hauls Season 1: Raging Tides to the...

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/02/27

When you think about it, “Raging Tides” is an apt description of the unstable flow of Skull and Bones’ gameplay these days. Ubisoft’s pirate simulator got off to a wildly uneven start this past month, with multiple issues and mixed reviews holding this title back. However, it’s not all doom-and-gloom for Skull and Bones, as […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/02/27

The Wagadu Chronicles has kind of made me sad. I wasn’t really expecting this game to be some arbiter of a new age for early access MMORPGs, but I was expecting so much more. Once again, I repeat that the intent of this column isn’t to pass final judgment on a game or give a […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/02/27

We’re starting to suspect that companies choose these layoffs chunks of 900 people to stop headlines from saying “a thousand,” but it’s bad no matter what, and Sony is the next gaming company to axe big numbers of the very game developers who propelled it to success. In a memo dubbed “Difficult News About Our […]

2024/02/27

Can you believe it has been more than half a year since we took our first steps into the mysterious, long-teased Wizard’s Tower in Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure? This expansion’s structure has been different to say the least, with an initial release that was noticeably lighter, with just enough content to justify […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/02/27

Apart from the Crystal Raiders update at the top of the year, Albion Online has had a slow 2024 so far – and even Crystal Raiders was fairly low-key, with content aimed chiefly at guild territory raiding. That was probably to be expected, as at the tail end of last year, Sandbox Interactive told players […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/02/27

Originally Kickstarted in 2018, Last Epoch has been in early access on Steam for about five years, but the developers at Eleventh Hour Games have now finally decided the game is ready and released their 1.0 version, to a rush of players that resulted in server crashes. Leading up to launch, they were kind enough […]

2024/02/27

Should it be illegal to put out an MMO patch and patch notes at 7:25 p.m. on a Friday night? Yes, definitely, tar and feathers and all that, but since it’s Project Gorgon, we’ll totally let it slide and catch it up as soon as we see it anyway. Yep, our Indie MMORPG of 2023 rolled […]

2024/02/27

There wasn’t much lead-up to this – indeed, the world has known it was happening for less than a month – but Zenith’s new spinoff game, Infinite Realms, is officially launching today. Well, it’s launching on Meta and Steam today, anyway. We still don’t know when it’ll come to PlayStation. Studio RamenVR calls it a […]

So, who’s hungry?! You, hopefully, and if not, you will be by the time you make it through the newest New World dev blogs – and there are actually two to feast your eyes and ears on so far this week. The first is focused entirely on the cooking overhaul; Amazon says the devs now […]

2024/02/27

So hey, things with Temtem are just going absolutely super. Last week, Crema Games insisted that it was still working on the main game in addition to Temtem Swarm and that the latest spinoff game wouldn’t mean the end of updates for the MMO you Kickstarted. Apparently, the kerfuffle over this particular issue has led […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2024/02/27

I was thinking about this topic a few weeks ago when chatting with MOP’s Eliot about some of our formative experiences in the genre. I never really got on with EverQuest 1; I found it deeply disappointing after my time in a sandbox like Ultima Online (and later, Asheron’s Call), and if it hadn’t been […]

Although a bit disappointed that both weren’t traitors, Massively OP’s MJ did root out Dralys in Elder Scrolls Online’s Necrom story arc, as well as get to speak with the avatar of the Hermaeus Mora. But she still needs to unmask more conspirators to eradicate the threat to the mortal world and Apocrapha. Her next […]

The weekly community livestreams from Embers Adrift are continuing to pour forth, and this week’s episode is talking about items, or specifically the new categorization features that are being implemented in the sandbox MMORPG. CM Elloa brought on developer Adric to discuss the matter, who explains this categorization feature as a color-coded system to differentiate […]
