World of Warcraft players are noticing some problems with soloing old content in the pre-patch

12
You may be forgiven for thinking that after doing a massive item level squish twice before, World of Warcraft's developers would have learned how to do so without causing major disruptions to the status quo. You may also be forgiven for having a moment of blinking confusion at the concept of twice before there. But no, it turns out...

0
Things are heating up in EverQuest II with the release of Game Update 115: Reignite the Flames. The patch comes equipped with many challenges for seasoned adventurers, including two new raids, a heroic dungeon, and additional quests.

The Daily Grind: What MMOs did you test that never released?

30
When I submitted my column on Flagship's Mythos (shameless plug!), Bree and I got into a short discussion about how we both tested the game back in the day. We both kinda liked it, too, and felt that it was a shame it never actually made it to launch. Probably many of us have tested an MMO or two that...

The Shadowlord: First major villain of Final Fantasy XI, owner of a tragic backstory, leader of beastmen, and wielder of an absolutely killer sword.

Conan Exiles adjusts avatars and followers in console patches, moves on to PC

8
Usually in multi-platform MMOs, the PC version is the first to get updated and consoles follow shortly after (likely thanks to the differing certification processes for each console). In a rather odd twist, though, Update 41 for Conan Exiles has landed on PS4 and Xbox One first while update timing and details for PC players are missing at the...
