Massively Overpowered

Am I the only one who feels like there's actually been a bit less news about Shadowlands ever since it opened up beta testing? Or maybe I just haven't been focusing as well. Could be a bit of both. What's definitely the case is that I was paying attention when some of the systems underpinning the new version of...

For hopeful fans of Amazon's Crucible, it has not been the most comforting of summers. At the end of June, the studio announced that it would be taking the title back to closed beta for an extensive rework due to its poor reception. It was so abrupt and concerning that the Massively OP team pondered whether or not Amazon...

Testing for World of Warcraft's upcoming Shadowlands expansion just got a little more interesting. The most recent beta build of the expansion has introduced the ability for players to change their chosen Covenant. Players will reportedly have to go through a series of confirmation windows to leave a Covenant, while returning to a Covenant involves the completion of a quest....

Magic Legends has finally deigned to show off the latest of the multiplayer ARPG's starting classes. Say hello to the Sanctifier, a veritable beacon of white mana light described as a "refreshing take on a more classic, dedicated support class."

As promised, DC Universe Online's Wonderverse episode rolled out after hefty patching last evening. Daybreak's Dimensional Ink Games has delivered a Wonder Woman-centric storyline, or maybe we should say Wonder Women-centric, since Wonder Women from multiple eras and timelines are featured. Don't think about it too hard; this is supposed to be fun! Expect the new Patchwork Themyscira mission,...

Nonameplease recently sent us a concerned email about the future of MMOs, specifically Star Trek Online. "I have spent a ton of money on rare ships," he told us. "When this game finally shuts down, I'll be SOL.... unless there is an emulator. Even though my previous purchases won't be carried over, I'm guessing the emu folks know they can't...

With all the festivals lately, it seems like months since Massively OP's MJ has adventured through Neverwinter's story. (Oh, it has been!) Can she even remember where she left off? Oh ya! Tonight, she returns for her meeting with Dying Howl, the primal spirit for the wolf tribe. Sounds totally safe, right? Tune in live at 9:00 p.m. to...

It appears that even the claims of Final Fantasy XI's story being finished were greatly exaggerated. That's not news, of course, but it is notable that the game's August version update scheduled for August 6th includes the first part of a new storyline exploring what is said to be a corner of Vana'diel not previously explored. Players will need...

Well would you look at that, Tree of Savior is still kicking out the jams. Good for you, you plucky, painterly, pretty little MMOARPG. The game's most recent update has some pretty sizeable new things for max level players, including an all-new raid and some potent weapons for the game's classes. The raid takes place in the White Witch Forest,...

Risa is a resort planet. That's its whole thing in Star Trek in general and Star Trek Online in specific. It turns out that part of what has made it viable as a resort planet is the Risian Weather Control Vessel, a scientific ship made to manipulate weather patterns that increasingly turned into an ever-more-engineered craft capable of performing...
