Massively Overpowered

Another year has come and gone. (Though we might be glad this one's over.) Secret World Legends, the reboot of the beloved Secret World, will turn three this week on the 26th. Usually, that means an anniversary retrospective column all about the past year, highlighting the happenings in game. For SWL, however, there really isn't much in-game to report...

What makes a beta a beta? It's been a source of scowling-faced commenter "discussion" ever since marketing betas and early access muddied the water. In the case of Crowfall, and according to an interview J. Todd Coleman held with German website MeinMMO, the latest build of the game is technically a beta, as referenced here from a Google translated...

Dungeons and Dragons Online's popular permadeath temporary server is coming back at noon today with a third trip through this brutal gauntlet. This time around, however, it's not just subscribers that can participate; Standing Stone Games announced that free players are welcome to partake of the hardcore madness as well. There's also a new twist for this third iteration: "For...

The demise of Kickstarter darling Chronicles of Elyria this past spring doesn't mean the corpse has completely stopped moving and all is said and done. Even as Soulbound Studio CEO Jeremy Walsh insists that work is still being done on the game -- despite laying off the entire team and running out of money -- former supporters have been...

So what's going to happen with Curseforge and your precious, precious World of Warcraft addons? You need those to play! For those who missed it, Twitch owned Curseforge, but then sold Curseforge to Overwolf, which means that you're going to need to use a different client in order to download addons. Or not at all; according to the new...

OK, for today's topic, we're going to be limiting ourselves strictly to scifi MMORPGs (sorry fantasy, you'll have to settle for pretty much 95% of the posts on any given day). As we explore virtual galaxies, we've bumped into plenty of alien races -- some playable, some helpful, and some grumpy as all get out. So the question is this:...

Massively OP's MJ is closing in on the queen's assassin! She's now down in the Elder Scrolls Online's Blackreach Caverns with vampire Fennorian and half-giant Lyris, seeking to solve the mystery of the missing miners, explore the caverns, and find the assassin. MJ might also have to sing the Holy Sweetroll Liturgy again! Tune in live at 8:00 p.m....

While the in-development Mortal Online 2 might sound like a world of misery and danger, that also doesn't mean that there can't be nice things to see as well. For example, there's a recent preview video of the city of Kranesh, which shows off various buildings and places of interest. But it still sounds like a place of misery...

Hey, folks, remember Dawngate? The answer is probably "no, not in the slightest," which would make a certain amount of sense as the game never actually launched and didn't really make much of a splash. It was a MOBA with a similar map structure to League of Legends and... well, similar lots of things, but it did have refinements...

Who wants swimsuits in Final Fantasy XI? That's what you'll be getting when the Celestial Nights event rolls around once again on June 30th, an event that's marked summers in the game for several years but has a strangely bare-bones announcement on the official site. "It's happening, have fun." A welcome announcement for veterans, no doubt, but a bit...
