Niantic has now released the July events for Pokemon GO and, so far, it's not exactly exciting. July Community Day is Starly, and as it's using the same model that disappointed us in June, but with a vastly inferior Starly getting a move that will make it only about 1% more useful in raids, we were already in for a...

There's a little something for the present and future prospects of ArcheAge in this news post. We'll start with the present state of affairs, specifically a recent patch that has made adjustments to earning Leadership in Hero Missions, improved Ipnya Ridge weekly quests and daily Cracking Eggs quests, and adjusted the times for the Akasch Invasion as well as...

It's been a really long time since we've gotten to have some math up ins. You know by this point that I really like having math-centric columns when it comes to expansion release dates and what-not, but I didn't actually do one when Dragonflight was first announced because... well, because World of Warcraft had given me a bunch of...

Niantic, the company that named itself after a whaling vessel abandoned for the goldrush, admitted yesterday that it is shuttering four more gaming projects, leading to 85-90 people being laid off. While three of the projects seemed barely formed, one of them is apparently the MMOARG Transformers: Heavy Metal, though the official site has yet to make this announcement....

Earlier this week, Diablo II: Resurrected announced an update meant to "elevate multiplayer lobbies for console and PC." That update has arrived on schedule, introducing a number of features to make playing with others easier. One of the major features for this update is another expansion of the games search list, which will now find a larger number of game...

The rumors around the impending release for multiplayer pirating title Skull and Bones continue to mount. A supposed new leak found by dataminer Aggiornamenti Lumia on the Xbox Store confirms a release date of Tuesday, November 8th, along with some pre-order goodies and DLC like missions, an art book, and a Smuggler's Pass token, which suggests some form of...

Elrond babies, they'll make their dreams come true! Elrond babies, they'll do the same for you... now in Lord of the Rings Online's Update 33.1, which can be found on the Bullroarer test server. Standing Stone Games began testing LOTRO's July patch this week, offering players a first glimpse at the new "Further Adventures of Elladan and Elrohir" story. The...

Remember way back in 2020 - I know, I'm sorry to make you do this - when Gaijin took the wraps off a new PC MMO called Age of Water? MOP's Chris lovingly referred to it as "Moist Crossout," which was crude but fair, as the game centered on customizing boats, fighting pirates and merchant vessels, and exploring the...

Happy patch day to everyone but the remaining Lost Ark bots! Yep, Amazon is pushing out Wrath of the Covetous Legion, Lost Ark's June update, today after a brief delay; it brings with it the Vykas Legion raid, the Kungelanium Guardian raid, the Thronespire dungeon for solo fans, and Heartbeat Island, the most important raid of all... "Need some R&R...

Some games officially announce when they're going into maintenance mode. (And some games then update more than some non-maintenance titles, but that's an exception.) But an awful lot of games just... stop having more than new occasional events and are very clearly not being updated, yet they are still available for play. You can go play one of those...
