Massively Overpowered

Even though all MMORPGs compete for our time, affection, and -- above all else -- money, it doesn't mean that they can't get along. At least, in my own head. Despite our heated arguments about which games are superior, I often see the similarities rearing up more than the differences. For today's list, I thought it would be very "why...

There's some potentially good news for NA players of Black Desert on PC this week: After some testing and preparation, the MMORPG's NA servers will be physically relocated on Wednesday, May 22nd, to a new location in the central US in the hopes of providing a better playing experience. This decision stemmed from data findings by Pearl Abyss, which showed...

While most MMOs tend to escalate their level-boosted characters to ever-greater heights, EverQuest is going in the opposite direction when it puts level 50 heroic characters on sale next week. "New level 50 Heroic Characters will be dropping soon in EverQuest! If you’ve been around for a while, you’ll remember that we added Heroic Characters in 2014 at level 85...

Bracing cold winds. Flurries of steel. Crashing waves. No, it's not a word painting for my newest superhero OC (please don't steal); it's Diablo Immortal's newest Tempest class, which is headed for the mobile OARPG on Thursday, May 23rd. "In a time of ever-growing danger for the world of Sanctuary, mysterious wanderers have sailed from the frigid mists of the...

Kakao Games' first financial report covering 2024 is out today, and perhaps not surprisingly, Q1 wasn't particularly great or garbage for the Korean gaming giant. The company reported to investors that its revenues were down 1.2% since Q1 2023 but up 2.6% since last quarter, with the losses coming from "non-game business" rather than its PC and mobile titles....

Now that players of Helldivers 2 have effectively badgered Sony enough that it decided to reverse its PSN account requirement, the playerbase is continuing to mobilize and attempt to undo the damage its done to the shooter's Steam user review aggregate in a show of goodwill and thanks for the decision. As we reported earlier this week, there were multiple...

Friends of vampirekin, rejoice, for today V Rising has officially left early access and joined the surprisingly small roster of survival sandboxes with the courage to do just that. I said what I said. The two-year-old gothic sandbox has been hyping its launch - and more specifically, its 1.0 Ruins of Mortium patch - for months now as Stunlock prepped...

I'm terribly sorry to report this morning that The Wagadu Chronicles is shutting down development and sunsetting. Our readers will know that Wagadu was a unique afrofantasy MMORPG featuring authentic African-inspired music and lore; it was Kickstarted for almost $200,000 back in 2020 and bolstered by Riot Games funding too. It had a promising start, but when it hit early...

We are in an interesting season with Star Wars: The Old Republic -- and no, I'm not talking about a PvP or Galactic Conquest season. Rather, we're in a period when we are starting to see the potential and limitations of the Broadsword team now that it's fully transitioned away from EA BioWare. With Update 7.5: Desperate Defiance on the...

Now that Massively OP's MJ has finally obtained her skyscale in Guild Wars 2, she can fly around all the zones. That means she can ditch SOTO and return to all the content that she missed when she skipped to the end for End of Dragons. With seasons 1 and 2 finished, it's time to plant herself in...
