Massively Overpowered

Over the past month, I've been chronicling how I started adventuring on a brand-new World of Warcraft account after gifting my old one to my wife. It's been bizarre to let go of an account I've had since 2004 and start completely fresh. For the most part, it's been a lot of fun, mostly because I do like the...

You can test if you want to if you've gotten an invite. Yes, Fractured kicked off its most recent closed alpha after a delay, and Magic: Legends has been inviting people into its closed alpha. Alpha testing for all! All the people invited, anyhow. That's what closed alpha means. In other news... er... other beta news. That one isn't much...

Forests are lovely places, except for the ones with lots of stinging insects and dangerous wildlife and some form of corrupting influence that requires sci-fantasy fighters to investigate. That last event is only happening to Naverius' Forest in Phantasy Star Online 2 as part of this week's campaign. At least it should be because if that were happening in...

I’m no industry expert, but I bet I know what the gaming consoles need: more battle royale games! This brain wave is being shared by the devs at Pearl Abyss, who have confirmed that Shadow Arena, the standalone Black Desert battle royale, is on its way to Xbox One and PS4. The devs are currently working on the console...

The big news for Destiny 2 this week was one that will have mixed appeal for existing players because the free-to-play title is coming to Xbox Game Pass in the fall. What does that mean? Well, the FAQ hopefully lays it all out for fans. The good news is that it doesn't mean any sort of content exclusivity, timed...

Earlier this month we told you about Past Fate’s upcoming second attempt at crowdfunding after the first swing failed to strike. As of yesterday, that second shot at Kickstarter redemption is now live, with the devs asking for $25,000 – a decidedly low number for an MMORPG’s development (yet higher than its prior ask), but Icy North Games explains...

It's testing time for Magic: Legends! Everyone (who was specifically invited to the test) gets to try out Magic: Legends! The information is available for all (who are in the alpha test, whereas those outside of the testing are able to have the information that testing has started and nothing else)! Yes, the emails have gone out and people...

Hideouts? In my Roads of Avalon? It's more likely than you might think in Albion Online. Yes, players can definitely stake their claim to locations within the Roads of Avalon by locating special energy crystals that keep the mists at bay. An unclaimed crystal allows you to place a hideout, which is still vulnerable during prime time within the...

After another break, Star Citizen is back on its weekly video series rollout as Inside Star Citizen makes its full return. In this episode, players are first shown how CIG considers the creation of the various brands and manufacturers in the game, whether its ship builders like Origin or ARGO or weapons manufacturers,. The video goes into several considered...

The Warhammer Online rogue server Return of Reckoning has put out a fresh patch recently, which isn’t exactly full of jaw-dropping features but has lots of likely desired tweaks all the same. For one thing, players should now only respawn in keeps that are safe and not at the outer door of a keep that’s under attack in RvR. Keeps...
