Massively Overpowered

MMO developer Alexander Zacherl kindly put this game on our radar today, and it couldn't be more timely, given that this summer's swelling of support for Black Lives Matter initiatives prompted many people to seek out Black creators and media and games to patronize. The game's called The Wagadu Chronicles, and as presented in its Kickstarter by Berlin, Germany,...

The story of Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers got a pretty explosive sendoff in patch 5.3, which brought several major plotlines to their conclusion and set up the next portion of the game's ongoing story. It was major, it was epic, and it was big enough that a lot of players were still left somewhat staggered even a month later,...

If you're a new player in Star Trek Online, there are a lot of reputations to level up once you get to a sufficient level. If you're a veteran player who took a break, there may still be a lot of reputations for you to level just to catch up. The bright side of the new acceleration option available...

Players in World of Warcraft sure do love their kitty cats, even the ones that periodically sprout void tendrils. That's what Jenafur does, a kitty who has long stymied the game's secret-finding community as players have searched for how to obtain Jenafur as a pet. But the secret has been uncovered, with a new video from Kelani explaining how...

In a year of many game and project delays, one more isn't surprising -- even though it isn't welcome to hear. So bad news, Dungeons and Dragons Online players: You're not getting that level cap increase that Standing Stone Games promised earlier this year. At least, you're not getting it right now. Pointing to the "global crisis," the studio said...

There's nothing worse than spending all sorts of time and resources to acquire something you think will be cool... but turns out to be a bit of a dud instead. For EVE Online players who might feel a little let down by the performance of their EDENCOM ships, they should be pleased to hear that today's Rolling Thunder update...

Until last week, somehow I had heard of the Agrilat Swamp but never actually visited it in Star Wars Galaxies. SWG Legends' @RoarAshley tweeted an image of it last week and my jaw dropped. How in the heck have I been playing this game the better part of my whole adult life without ever noticing this place? https://twitter.com/RoarAshley/status/1307409053744803842 My theory is...

Last time, Massively OP's MJ prepared for her first heist in Heist by leveling up a new chaos-centered Witch in Path of Exile. Now, it's time to pull it off! She's about to set off for Rogue Harbor to find a job and gather some hirelings. Join us live at 8:00 p.m. to see if MJ can succeed at...

We've been peering in on the progress of Naïca on a couple of occasions now in our usual roundup of obscure MMOs, noting the 2-D MMORPG's variety of features like PvE and PvP content, “adaptive” classes, and cross-platform play on PC, iOS, and Android. If any of those reports have stoked curiosity, then you'll have your chance to sate...

The primary point of playing Shadow Arena is, presumably, to get some fantastical battle royale gaming in. But then Pearl Abyss stopped and said "What about deathmatch?" So with the latest update on PC, that's just what players have gotten: team deathmatch mode. This really is about as simple as it gets in terms of how things work. Deathmatch pits...
