The MMO industry moves along at the speed of information, and often we’re deluged with so much news here at Massively Overpowered that some of it gets backlogged. That’s why there’s The MOP Up: a weekly compilation of smaller MMO stories and videos that you won’t want to miss. Seen any good MMO news? Hit us up through our tips line!

This week, TERA surprised and disturbed all of us by announcing the sale of “mood clouds” that demonstrate the next level of emotes by placing a rainbow-vomiting cloud above your head. Just in case you weren’t being subtle enough with your emotions.

Read on for more bits of gaming news we didn’t want to leave behind!

Stronghold Kingdoms, a mobile MMO reboot of the 2001 strategy classic, will be coming to iOS and Android this summer. Curious? Check out the game’s trailer and see if there’s substance here or just fluff:

Armored Warfare takes an in-depth look at the armored CRAB, regarded to be the best scout vehicle in the game to date. Sometimes being light on your feet (or wheels) is more important than carrying around serious firepower!

A trailer for a card game might not be inherently thrilling, but Star Crusade tries its hardest to make it so. Check out this game’s launch trailer and see if it might be the CCG for you!

Steparu featured a new gameplay video of Master X Master Global, which now includes more characters from Lineage II, Aion, and Guild Wars 2. Is that enough to make you want to play this MOBA?
