The Daily Grind: Which MMO sound effect drives you...

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/04/11

Back in City of Heroes, we were no strangers to a wide array of sound effects from the myriads of powers being blasted at any given time. While most of them were interesting if not exciting, the one that put my teeth on edge was the whining noise of the force fields that Defenders would […]

2026/04/10

One thing Massively OP’s MJ has missed in AQ3D is the battle concerts. The music. The metal. But now they’re back! Lore is finally hosting another, the Dungeons & DoomKnights battle concert. This time around, the concert is in Killgore’s Dark Carnival. And as with all concerts, there are goodies to get when you win the […]

Betawatch: EverQuest Legends sets beta, Lord of...

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/04/10

Have you heard about EverQuest Legends? Yes, it’s the original EverQuest but a bit different, which means it’s both a new game and not, but functionally it’s a new game so we’re splitting the difference. And it is starting a very strictly NDA-based test on April 24th, which makes sense because otherwise people will never stop asking you […]

2026/04/10

In Norse mythology, Ratatoskr is the squirrel that runs up and down Yggdrasil to carry messages as needed, which teaches you that the Vikings were aware of the need for a robust postal service in order to maintain a functional society. In SMITE 2, Ratatoskr returns from the original as a squirrel who runs around […]

2026/04/10

While Rare noted that Sea of Thieves would see a “slightly quieter month” in April, that doesn’t mean it’s without a splash of events — including a brand-new one debuting during Season 19. The new event is Bilge Rats Weekender, which includes limited-time voyages and new rewards. “Bilge Rats Weekenders are intended to celebrate the […]

2026/04/10

You may not be familiar with eWorlds, an adorable sci-fi puzzle platformer that offers online co-op play, but you should check it out — and sooner rather than later, as the game is trading its current free business model for a $4 price tag next week on April 16th. The devs said that they needed […]

It’s producer’s letter time for EverQuest fans, and that can mean only one thing: vague ideas of what’s coming down the pike for the classic MMORPG! Get ready to get teased and hinted at, gamers!

2026/04/10

Since last December, we’ve been keeping an eye on co-op builder-centric survivalbox StarRupture, although we’re trying not to look too hard at the double-R in the middle there because man that makes the eyeballs twitch. There is a point to all of this: Creepy Jar’s early access game has officially pushed out a new update […]

2026/04/10

How many battleships can your PC hold? If you can’t get enough enormous boat floating around in your SSD, then you’re in luck because the mobile and console game World of Warships: Legends is also making its way to PC on Tuesday, May 5th. That’s at least double the warships, assuming you also have World of Warships installed […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/04/10

One of the things that RuneScape wants to do as part of its overall Road to Restoration initiative is to make the game look better. Some of that is about making the game no longer be dominated by characters who are wearing horrible and ridiculous costumes, sure, but some of that is also about fixing rendering issues. […]

2026/04/10

The convention season will be upon our corner of the world — and across the globe — before we all know it, so what’s one more game-specific celebration event, right? Black Desert has officially confirmed the date and early details of this year’s Heidel Ball, and as the headline points out, it’s happening Saturday, July 25th, in […]

2026/04/10

Not a lot of gamers consider how studios don’t make patches sequentially, fully finishing one before starting on the next. Rather, parallel development is much more common and the focus of this week’s discussion among Lord of the Rings Online’s developers in their latest We Have a Cave Troll video. The devs said that they’re […]

2026/04/10

So this is a column that I have been putting off for a while because it’s going to take me basically forever and who knows if I will ever be done with it, but I figure now’s the time to start. At the time I am writing this intro, there are 64 different Warframes in Warframe. […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2026/04/10

What the heck is an Exile-like? Presumably it’s a reference to the inspiration from the Path of Exile series, at least maybe in tone instead of full-on game design, but perhaps ARPG fans should judge for themselves: Say hello to Crystalfall, a free-to-play solo and multiplayer game (Steam lists it as an MMO) from Swedish […]

If you were curious to see what Amazon was planning to do with Lost Ark’s community marketing after having laid off multiple developers, including its two most prominent community staffers, then consider yourself sated: For this week’s roadmap video, the studio has swapped in… franchise lead Matt Huston. And to their credit, the players on […]

2026/04/10

Crema Games is a studio that can be described as notorious among MMORPG fans. The Spanish developer first arrived to the scene in 2018 with its MMORPG Temtem, described by the studio as a “massively multiplayer creature-collection adventure.” The title ended up raising over half a million dollarbux during its Kickstarter drive and did eventually move through […]

2026/04/10

Yeah, I know we’ll be two weeks past April Fools’ Day by the time Super Adventure Box returns to Guild Wars 2 this year, but that’s only because SAB is a full-on festival now, not just an April Fools joke. And indeed, ArenaNet has now announced that the event is returning next week on April […]

2026/04/10

It feels as though World of Warcraft’s Midnight expansion came out just days ago, but it must’ve been a bit, because the expansion’s already barreling into its first post-launch content update when Patch 12.0.5 arrives on April 21st. The update looks to flesh out the four new zones with a variety of additional activities. These […]

When Daybreak and Game Jawn announced the impending summer launch of EverQuest Legends at GDC, the devs did say that a beta test was imminent and urged players to sign up. Hopefully you did just that because last night, the teams announced an April 24th CBT. “Daybreak Games and Game Jawn proudly announce that the […]
