The New World preview event (yes, they're calling it a preview event this round, not a beta or density test) is coming up on us next week, and while Amazon hasn't dropped full details yet - those are coming tomorrow - it has clarified where exactly we'll all be testing come Tuesday. "In an effort to reduce confusion, we want...

Elder Scrolls Online's Stonethorn DLC is just a week away from its PC launch now, but if you're not enthused about the pair of dungeons it's bringing, you should at least be welcoming its ride-along free update and the brilliant new content it's launching in Tamriel - most importantly, the scripted character pathing inside player housing. The new system...

If you were one of the people who really believed in the goals that Chronicles of Elyria's development team advocated and were hopeful to see the game actually launch, we're sorry for your loss, but we're happy to say that legal action for restitution is moving forward according to the Discord channel tracking the litigation. If you're instead part...

Kickstarted MMORPG Crowfall dropped into beta last week, free of NDAs and full of content, but not everyone who's ever signed up for the game's testing has been invited. That'll be changing probably sooner than you might've thought. "Beta to us is not about starting a particular version," ArtCraft's Todd Coleman explains. "It's about getting enough features and enough stability...

OK, OK, you can put your pitchforks down - or maybe just set them to the side for a while as you read the Squadron 42 dev blog that Cloud Imperium put out today. The publish comes after weeks of justified complaining from the Star Citizen community over the fact that real news on S42, which like its MMO...

So how is EVE Echoes doing out in the wild? It's hard to know hard numbers from CCP and Netease, but since its launch last week, the game's seen almost 17,000 reviews on Android and over a thousand more on iOS, along with a tidy boom in Reddit participation. The reviews seem relatively fair so far, balancing a solid...

Probably a lot of us aren't getting that fantastic summer beach vacation that we had hoped to get this year. But instead of getting bummed out by that, why not visit a tropical resort or two in MMORPGs? Tropical zones are among my favorite zones in MMOs because they're so peaceful and serene, even if you're fighting for your life...

Bandai Namco and Neowiz are making more moves with Bless Unleashed, as we noted last week, pushing the Xbox One game next to PlayStation 4 with a beta set for tomorrowday. And now the companies granted Massively OP a stack of keys for that beta, which begins Thursday, so our readers can check it out for themselves. Click the...

Autoplay, huh. What is it good for? Absolutely something! I'll say it again: There is value in autoplay. It's got such a bad reputation in the western MMO community. From our perspective, anyone who plays it is either a sucker, a lazy whale, or both. But does that really justify an instant-uninstall, or is our adherence to ideals from...

World of Warcraft Classic isn't exactly a walk around the block, especially if you're coming at it from modern MMOs. Of course, that's part of the strange appeal of the game: to go back to a time where leveling up in WoW was a struggle. But for those who think it's still too easy, there are always the game's hardcore...
