Were you too busy gaming this week to pay attention to MMO news? Get caught up every Sunday evening with Massively Overpowered’s Week in Review!

This week, Star Wars: The Old Republic came under fire over its Dark vs. Light event, which essentially requires achievement-hunting players to roll new characters (on alt servers or with newly purchased slots, assuming their home server is full) to replay content they have already have done many times before. PvP and raiding requirements also have eyebrows quirking and historians reminding everyone of WoW’s Children’s Week’s many problems.

But hey, I can’t wait to see the EA infographic bragging about the eighty bajillion characters rolled in SWTOR!

Read on for the very best of this week’s MMO news and opinions.
