One Shots: We didn’t see nothin’, we were never here!

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/16

Turn the wrong corner and walk into the wrong room in EverQuest II, and you might see something you really wish you hadn’t. As a silence falls so thick that you can hear the blood dripping off daggers, you raise your palms and back away, hoping that you might live to see another day. You […]

The Daily Grind: How much of your gaming time is...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/16

This might sound weird, but at least in my head, there is a distinct difference between “time spent playing other video games” and “time spent playing MMORPGs.” I can’t really explain why, they are both video games, but somehow my brain just segments the two as being different things. The even more interesting thing is […]

Trove studio Gamigo says it’s revisiting clubs...

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/16

If you’ve followed MOP for a long time, you know that several of our writers are huge fans of Trove’s club world system. It’s basically a player/guild housing system, though calling the massive expanses of land houses does a disservice to the maps, as they can grow to be larger than some whole MMORPGs. And […]

The November 19th update for Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is bringing a bunch of things to do on November 19th, but what it’s also going to be bringing server merges to the PvE sandbox as well.

2025/11/15

With so many materials being scavenged from the crashed ships, Massively OP’s MJ really needs better organization in her Planet Crafter base. She’s already rebuilt and consolidated the structure, and she was also able to purchase the blueprint for the bigger storage containers. Now all she needs to do is get stuff situated… so she […]

2025/11/15

A sound is a powerful thing. The right noise in the right ear can transport the listener back in time to a particular place and experience. It can be used to enhance, to entrance, and to bring out a personality that exists solely in the audio realm. Try to imagine Star Wars without its iconic […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/15

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the MMORPG industry, it’s that developers are bigger geeks than many of us. And because of that, they can’t resist the urge to toss in homages to other IPs in their games. A lot of homages. I’ll always look fondly upon the time that I stumbled upon a Legend […]

Since the game is only in play test phase, the last time Massively OP’s MJ was able to squirrel up and scurry about in Rodent Rumble for Funky Friday was a year ago! But now, there is a new mode that is on even while the servers are offline. Welcome to Target Break! It’s a […]

Betawatch: Where Winds Meet has met its launch window

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/15

So Where Winds Meet has launched, with what we’ll call multiplayer ambiguity, which inspires us to play with title ambiguity, such that we introduce you to Where Winds Meat, a game about spinning sausages into tight coils on sticks, or Werewinds Meet, a game about socializing between people who turn into tornadoes under the full moon. Hilarious! […]

Massively Overpowered ·

2025/11/14

The fundamental problem with naming your game with words like “infinite” or “endless” is that eventually you find out that this is not true. Your “endless” updates do end. Case in point: Halo Infinite, after four years of support, is getting its final update on November 18th. Yes, it turns out it was in fact finite! […]

2025/11/14

MMORPG sandbox BitCraft has become an indie darling in the genre this season, owing in part to its frequent updates. We’re getting another one this week as the game patches in new hats. No, really. Every level 20 profession and skill now has a special hat. Plus we’ve got a new cottage furniture set tier, […]

2025/11/14

Sure, you could already claim some land in the survival sandbox of Pax Dei, but what if you wanted to hold sway over portions of the PvP zone of Lyonesse instead? Well soon your very weird and likely extremely fight-hungry desire will come true when Verse 5 goes live with a feudal sovereignty system. As […]

2025/11/14

The rancor between developers at Grand Theft Auto Online studio Rockstar and its leadership is only beginning to grow in the face of the unionbusting-scented firing of 30 workers, as now the company is facing a legal challenge from the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) and pressure from workers to reinstate the affected […]

2025/11/14

Maybe it’s a little late to the Halloween party, but Wizard101 is bringing all of the deliciously dark sweets anyway — and we’re not complaining. This week, the spell-slinging MMO released Darkmoor, a brand-new zone that’s more spooks and monsters than jingle bells. “Built around gothic horror and dark fantasy, Darkmoor is a land where […]

2025/11/14

There are multiple solarpunk MMOs and multiplayer titles on our horizon, but to complicate things, only one of them is actually named Solarpunk. It’s a cozy co-op survival game that was Kickstarted for $330,000 all the way back in 2023 and then got delayed, as it was supposed to launch in 2024 (and did not). […]

2025/11/14

Just last month, one of our MOP readers asked our podcast why there weren’t more Pokémon MMOs in existence. Someone somewhere must’ve heard that plea, because Seeker Games revealed that it’s creating a creature collector RPG called KinForge that might be worth a look for the Pokémon addicts out there. “KinForge is a co-op creature-collector […]
