ZeniMax has settled its ‘Redfall’ trademark dispute
Good news for fans of the name "Redfall," whether you're a fan of what is hypothetically the title of The Elder Scrolls VI or the pre-existing book series.

LOTRO Legendarium: How LOTRO does Lord of the Rings justice
Oh. Oh no you didn't, Kotaku. You didn't just sit there, scratching your head for an easy post, and then write up an essay about how after 40 years no video game has ever done Lord of the Rings justice.
"There are plenty of video games that get the surface level details of Tolkien’s work right," the veteran publication...
Warframe previews the agile Runner and gluttonous Oni
With TennoCon 2019 on the way this July, Digital Extremes soon has to shift its attention to this massive event. But before that shift happens, the studio was able to put out one (possibly) last pre-show developer livestream to give players a peek into the next major content update for Warframe.

The Daily Grind: How far behind are you in your MMO’s main storyline?
From LOTRO to FFXIV, from Guild Wars 2 to SWTOR, the backbone of the modern solo MMORPG experience is the main storyline. And whether you call it the "epic story" or "MSQ," chances are that you've yet to fully catch up to the most recent chapter that the devs have added.
Oh, maybe you're on top...

Sea of Thieves’ latest quality-of-life update tweaks arena waiting time, cooking, and rowboats
Yesterday's Sea of Thieves update marks the second release in year two of the game's rollout, and it's a bit of a mixed bag. Rare tweaked a number of outstanding issues, like rowboat harpooning, arena crew icons, inside rewards, the gold hoard curse, inventory management, and "visual variety" for the cooking pot. The Reddit thread on...
Conan Unconquered slides its release date ahead a day to May 29
Well, this is a pretty different sort of release date adjustment. Conan Unconquered has decided that Thursday, May 30th, is just too round a number and doesn't have the syllabic punch punch of a Wednesday, May 29th, release date. That's actually not true at all; the game is just ready to go.
"We're eagerly looking forward to launch and...

Ashes of Creation explores economy-centric nodes at the heart of its player city system
Ashes of Creation is speaking my language this week in its lengthy dev blog on the game's economic node. Nodes, you'll recall, are the 103 (at launch) pre-planted centers of influence spread across the game for players to settle around and build up as cities, in divine, military, scientific, and economic form.
"If playing the game of supply...

The Survivalist: What ever happened to the smaller survival sandbox MMOs? Part two
Last week we learned what was up with a number of the smaller survival sandbox MMOs. Sadly, some have faded away, but others are going pretty strong.

WoW Factor: Crazy speculation on turning back the clock for World of Warcraft
There's a game I like to play - wait, no, that's a lie. There's a game IÂ do play called "Oh, I Made Myself Sad." It consists of a very simple play mechanic.
