3
Greg "Ghostcrawler" Street and the devs at Fantastic Pixel Castle continue to assemble on Street's podcast to discuss the creation of the Ghost MMO and how it's being built around player experiences.

The Quinfall begins taking names for its second closed beta test, reaffirms it will have no NDA

0
The Quinfall has been courting controversy ever since it was first announced, with grandiose claims that caused gamers to be immediately suspicious, statements about open betas being paid that appear to have been walked back, and staunch defense of using AI tools and "ready made assets" in its creation. But soon, everyone - or at least a larger chunk...

Book of Travels’ Q&A covers death and mounts – but not when it’s leaving early access

2
Book of Travels has had a long and winding path through its early access through its just over two-year journey, so it would stand to reason that players had some questions to ask developer Might & Delight about the tiny multiplayer online title. Some of those questions were answered in a new Q&A video, which runs about 30 minutes...

Old School RuneScape premieres a Varlamore cinematic trailer, talks changes to mage training and prayers

0
The new region of Varlamore is coming to Old School RuneScape, and that means Jagex has a reason to get all cinematic on us and debut a new trailer heralding its arrival. Just in case you were looking for some low-poly characters doing cool things that aren't actually possible in-game because the footage isn't gameplay. As such, the video...
This is some Michael Bay contrast.

Wisdom of Nym: What we’re likely to see at Final Fantasy XIV’s PAX East 2024 panel

13
I realize at this point my general dislike of heading up to Boston for the annual haunted plague box that is PAX East is reaching "old man yells at cloud" levels of curmudgeonly relation, but I've also outlined why I'm not fond of the convention, and that was before it was a haunted plague box. But Final Fantasy XIV...

With Update 39 and the Spring Festival pushed to the servers this past week and a meetup at PAX East happening in the coming week, Lord of the Rings Online's team undoubtedly is very busy these days.

Tencent’s Tarisland begins its next round of player testing… in China

0
The next phase of Tarisland's testing has begun overseas as Tencent announced on Discord that the Chinese test is now underway. As part of this playtest, Tencent decided to remove the tradable feature of Inscribed Stone Energy, as such trades were causing "imbalances within the game" thanks to pay-to-win situations. Other adjustments to the current build include making certain restrictions...

Apex Legends esports tourney is hacked mid-match, postponing the event and raising security concerns

5
Nobody likes to see cheaters win in an esports competition (or any competition for that matter), but a bout of cheating occurring in an Apex Legends esports event happened in one of the most unprecedented ways possible: by hackers managing to get into competitors' machines and engaging cheats during live competition. As first reported by MMO Fallout, the NA finals...

Star Citizen provides a close look at character creator updates arriving in alpha 3.23

4
Character creation in Star Citizen right now is, frankly, awful - a relic of the game's early beginnings that involve a weird secondary molding feature and a few different hairstyles. That's going to be changing in alpha 3.23, however, as the avatar creator is getting some much-needed modernization. Creation still starts with a DNA blending feature, but will now also...

0
The EU version of Aion run by Gameforge has a big update in store for Aion Classic: Update 2.7 Rise of the Revenant.

The Daily Grind: Which MMOs are best primed for retirement gamers?

31
A conversation with MOP's Carlo the other day made me wonder about this topic. Folks who were 40 or so when the first MMOs rolled out are now eyeing retirement, and if nostalgia is really all it's cracked up to be, then MMOs should be on the cusp of a renaissance as all these older gamers suddenly have a...

MMO Week in Review: Scions of Ithelia, Building a Foundation

0
It was a week of big updates for the MMORPG genre, as Elder Scrolls Online released Scions of Ithelia and Star Wars The Old Republic launched its wacky date night patch. OK, it's not really called that, but it's more fun to pretend it is. Meanwhile, we got a look at Camelot Unchained spinoff Final Stand Ragnarok, Star Citizen whispered...
