If there is one thing you've learned by now, it's that Massively OP's MJ loves fire. It is no coincidence her DDO character is a flame-flinging sorcerer. Now a new quest was just introduced called The Promise of Fire -- and you just know MJ is drawn to it like a moth to, well, you know. Tune in live...

While the stewardship of TERA has been a rather sloppy pot of chili, the IP of the game appears to be heading to the mobile market in a rather unexpected form: TERA: Endless War, a mobile strategy game promising large-scale battles on a hexagonal map.

It's been quite a while since we heard something out of Jandisoft's isometric MMO Mad World, which is a pretty frequent refrain we're expressing when covering this title. The game first had plans to launch to Steam in 2018, then elected to host an alpha in 2019, and then was picked up by publisher Netmarble, which meant another delay....

Well, this qualifies as good news. Sure, we have absolutely zero doubt that some people will be sad to hear that LA Comic Con 2020 is officially not happening following California Governor Gavin Newsom declining to provide new guidance for large-scale public gatherings. But considering that the rationale behind declining to offering those guidelines is because it's a terrible...
