The Stream Team: Fun with the Fall Guys
After finally getting a taste of Fall Guys during the eighth MOPiversary, Massively OP's MJ fell in love with the adorable ultimate race. She had so much fun running, bouncing, and falling all around the courses. In her final run, she even placed second -- right after Chris who was in first! Can she do better this time? Tune...
Neverwinter elaborates on upcoming combat companion balancing and prepares another Siege event
Companion NPCs can be a pretty invaluable tool when making your way through the battles of Neverwinter, but it looks like those combat companions are due for a balance tuning, which has been elaborated on and explained in a developer blog.
According to the post, this will be a more comprehensive set of adjustments than previous ones, with a reduction...
Sea of Thieves highlights Halo-themed cash shop items and confirms a delay for its next Adventure
Has your time in Sea of Thieves been missing some Master Chief style? Then you're in luck because tomorrow, February 16th, there will be a variety of Halo-themed cosmetics arriving to the game's cash shop, which were the highlight attraction of the sandbox's latest video.
The vignette shows off a whole host of items including a Spartan helmet-like head piece,...
Star Trek Online preps its 13-year anniversary bundle while celebrating the newly canonized Enterprise-F
The 13th anniversary of Star Trek Online has arrived, and that also means that players have a new anniversary bundle available. Considering the storyline of the past year, we suspect it's no great shock that it's all about the mirror universe, with the bundle offering four new alternate-universe ships, account unlocks for new looks from the mirror universe, a...
Old School RuneScape adds the ‘game changing’ option to resize spell icons
It's not just the Grinch that saw his heart grow three sizes bigger one day -- Old School RuneScape is giving players with poor eyesight some relief by allowing them to beef up the size of their spell icons.
"Have you ever filtered your spellbook and been left frustrated with the sheer amount of dead space left around those teeny,...
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight sees its first level 70 character that has never left the boat to Exile’s Reach
The starting experience in World of Warcraft makes sense. You sail on a ship to Exile's Reach, you complete a bunch of quests, you reach the mainland, complete a bunch more quests, and so forth. But one player decided not to do that. At all. No reaching Exile's Reach, no completing quests there, no killing things, no doing anything...
Citrine’s Last Wish is now live for Warframe on all platforms
What, precisely, is Citrine's last wish? Was it to finally ride Space Mountain all by herself? Was it a notarized letter specifying that crystal stuff is pretty cool? Was it a kiss from the warframe she has a crush on? We don't know, you'll have to play the latest Warframe update to find out for sure! Or maybe you...
The Stream Team: Running and gunning through the corridors of Warhammer 40K Darktide
While the recently released co-op shooter Warhammer 40K: Darktide is a bit atypical from our usual livestream haunts, MOP's Chris is ready, willing, and extremely eager to take his big boy (and his even bigger grenade launcher) out for a few runs! It's going to be a grim and grisly good time and it starts today at 2:00 p.m....
Valheim teases Ashlands, a new critter, and a hat toggle
The last time Valheim foretold a "fairly meaty" patch, it turned out to be a nothingburger, so don't get too excited by today's dev blog telling you to hold onto your hats, either.
Iron Gate Studios recaps last week's patch, again calling it "quite a large patch" (it wasn't), and it pats itself on the back about its comms. "Last...
Black Desert adds individual war rewards for console and kicks off Adventure Week on PC
Ideally, the time players spend in Black Desert on PC is already full of adventure, but that's not stopping the game from hosting an event that's all about adventure. It's called Adventure Week, and while the name might not blow your hair back, some of the freebies might.
Adventure Week is being marked by offering up a bunch of login...
New World plots an event to take down evil Roman bosses starting February 21
New World may not have run a Valentine's Day-themed event, but if that means we get an in-lore event later this month instead, we're not even mad, and that's exactly what Amazon has just announced: a boss-bashing event featuring the cyclopes who follow the evil General Crassus. And hey, now you know the real plural of cyclops! My good...
Tamriel Infinium: How Elder Scrolls Online’s quests go above and beyond the MMO norm
There are some MMOs you play because of and some you play in spite of, if you catch my drift. These titles have great qualities and features that make them compelling to play even though you have to wade through some bafflingly bad systems at the same time. I always felt that The Secret World was like this, and...
Aion Classic is still launching a European version in ‘early 2023’
This morning's NCsoft financials was a clear reminder that Aion Classic was one of the smartest things Aion has ever done, which is surely why the company is partnering with Gameforge to launch a European version early this year. Today, the studios have explained a bit more about what to expect when that launch happens. If you already lived...
Perfect Ten: Ranking 10 MMORPG map designs from worst to best
When I was a kid, I loved poring over maps in our family's atlas when we went on road trips. Getting a kind of bird's eye view of the world and figuring out my location in it was always satisfying.
This hasn't changed as I transitioned into virtual road trips through vast fantasy and sci-fi worlds. I am quite enraptured...
Bungie says it won’t promote AI-generated Destiny 2 fan art
Regular readers of Destiny 2's weekly newsletter know that one of the features is a highlight of player-created work, whether it's videos or fan art, and so it was with a highlight from two weeks ago, which showcased a piece of art titled Guardian Rendition. As it turns out, however, that artwork was an AI-generated image.
The discovery was unveiled...
Lost Ark applies a fix for its wrongly applied anniversary shop chests
Last weekend we reported on an issue with certain anniversary shop items in Lost Ark, which mistakenly had goodie bundles on offer that were account-bound instead of character-bound as originally intended. As of this morning's maintenance, that error has now been corrected.
The bundles in question have been removed from the Twinkle Twinkle Exchange and replaced with the correct items,...
Palia spins a web of relationships for its 23 signature NPCs, says romancing is optional
As we continue to wait for a new playtest for one of our most-anticipated MMO projects, at least we can learn more about the unique world of Palia. The team at Singularity Six has been highlighting the relationships and romances between the population of the central village -- and hinting at how players themselves might get entangled in these...
NCsoft Q4 2022: Guild Wars 2 had a great 2022, Throne & Liberty is still launching by summer
There's good news and bad news in the Q4 2022 and FY 2022 financial report, and the bad news might help explain why NCsoft decided to take an axe to its western subsidiary in the form of mass layoffs a few weeks ago. While the company's overall sales and operating profit are up when comparing 2022 to 2021 (11% and...
The Daily Grind: How long is your average MMO gameplay session?
Mine's one hour, in case you were curious about my situation. On average, I play an MMO for about an hour at a stretch. Every night I get two hours to play, so that's usually divided up between whatever two titles have my interest that week.
And an hour feels like a good amount of time for me. I can...

MJ joins Marjory in Lion's Arch to investigate the recent attack. Tune in live at 8:00 p.m. for Episode 2 of Living World Season 1, Sky Pirates.
