Sandboxes don't only have to be places where people get to whale away on each other in the most risk-free way possible. They can also be places of creativity and building. That's what Main Assembly is all about: building robots either to complete challenges, to mess around with others in multiplayer, or for the simple joy of creation. Out in...

Are you aware that it's been six and a half years since Warhammer Online ended its official run? What might be even more astounding to you is learning that the rogue server that picked up the WAR ball and ran with it started up a mere half-year after that sunset. In fact, this week Return of Reckoning is celebrating its...

While player count problems still persist for the multiplayer survival sandbox Population Zero, the developers at Enplex Games are full steam ahead with the latest update. This patch adds some needed quality-of-life functions like Armor and Suit Repair Kits, a streamlining to the friends feature, and a significant easing of restrictions to building locations, letting players build stuff across...

Today AQ3D is hosting special "anything goes" live events for players to enjoy, and Massively OP's MJ certainly doesn't want to miss those!

A new round of Series A funding has secured an additional $10 million, led by Galaxy Interactive and Bitkraft Esports Ventures. The latter...

So... yeah, we're not getting our fan festival for Final Fantasy XIV in San Diego. You probably saw that by now. (And if you're wondering why I'm talking about this now rather than on Monday, well, chalk that up to the difference in timetables for writing and planning ahead and when we actually get news.) This is probably not a major...

Considering the cultural weight behind the name, the team behind EverQuest would no doubt have preferred that everything about the Aradune time-locked server had gone off without a hitch. Sadly, this was not the case, and the server is struggling with connection issues, lag, and general server performance as we've been covering at length. While the team hasn't fully...

The outward expansion of MMOARPG Lost Ark has taken another big step forward. The game's official Japanese Twitter account has announced that Thursday, June 25th, will be the date when players can register for closed beta testing. A date for when beta will begin is yet to be tied down, but it's another moment in the Korean game's reach...

It should be a happy day for ArcheAge and ArcheAge Unchained, as the duo's latest expansion, Garden of the Gods, is going live. But this game is cursed, you guys, and no matter who's running it, the game always seems to run into problems. This time, those problems were centered on Gamigo's decision to charge Unchained players for this...

Nobody's surprised to learn that the corporate culture at the tippy-top of Riot Games still has "bad apples," right? After the huge sexual harassment and discrimination scandal that's been rolling along for the last two years, now Riot has added a racism scandal on top.
