Massively Overpowered

While her heart was ready, her hands were not: Massively OP's MJ discovered that battling the boss tank in Warframe 1999 while simultaneously battling pain in her hands does not bode well. She lost both fights! But she's obviously not going to give up; there's unspoiled story awaiting on the other side of that tank, and MJ is determined...

Sometimes you bite off a little more than you can chew. For the vast majority of people, doing so doesn't really have many negative consequences; you just deal with the fact that you overestimated your abilities a wee bit and move on with your life. But with video games, such as multiplayer Lynked: Banner of the Spark, sometimes it...

Since the year we went independent as MassivelyOP, we've been taking time at the end of the year to recap every month as a capstone on everything that happened to the MMORPG genre, all in one place, as a reminder to both us and our readers. Next year, MOP turns 10 years old, which means this is actually the...

We hope you're not too super attached to your vampire's build in V Rising in terms of stats. That's because a major rework is on the horizon for update 1.1, which will apply various adjustments to how enemy blood, gear, spells, and even the stats themselves affect your neck-nibbling survival ghoul. First, stats will all have soft and hard caps,...

Remember when gamers noticed how Shroud of the Avatar and Catnip Games' Chris Spears was quietly forming a new game studio to put together a battle royale RPG known as Slayscape? Well it would appear that he's continuing to branch away from the MMORPG - or at least aim his attention in multiple directions, as Reddit noticed Spears' name...

Whenever you're playing Conan Exiles, the obvious response to someone shouting, "Werehyena!" is to point and then say, "There hyena!" It's a laugh riot. And then you are mauled by a werehyena, as has happened nearly 10 million times in the game over the course of 2024. That's a lot of werehyenas showing up to maul people and proof...

MassivelyOP's not-so-serious end-of-the-year awards continue today with our award for the MMO most likely to distract you in traffic. The Golden Yachties series is our run of fauxwards, named in honor of somebody we've long forgotten from Old Massively who insisted that surely we make so much money that we're typing MMO blog posts from a gold-plated yacht. (Joke's...

I’ve been waffling on what MMOs to play in this upcoming holiday break since I’ve got a handful of long-term games already in session. It's probably because - as I’ve learned about myself these past few years - I really, really am a completionist, just not entirely in the way we MMO gamers typically think of it. It’s not that...

As Standing Stone Games' dev team spins down for the holidays, one final 2024 LOTRO stream came out of the studio last week tidying up the news and events in the virtual Middle-earth. Of key concern was the reaction to the recent roadmap and the confusion over the upcoming new 64-bit servers. SSG said that its next livestream on January...

Technically, Final Fantasy XIV's patch 7.15 contains one piece of ongoing content... insofar as you're going to keep turning in custom deliveries to Nitowikwe for several more weeks, and then weeks beyond that as well. But that's honestly not how most of it presents. The bulk of it feels much more like it's a story patch. Two of the...
