EVE Online’s Invasion event overtakes the galaxy while new ships approach

EVE Online's galaxy is on fire -- more than usual, we mean. As MOP's Brendan covered last week, the Invasion event of the past month has spilled across the game map, with numerous systems being involved in a tug-o-war between the Triglavian Collective and EDENCOM. While CCP is very happy with how the event is progressing, it is keeping...

The Stream Team: An Astroneer underground bunker

0
After a rocky first week on her Astroneer dedicated server, Massively OP's MJ cannot wait to get in and work on her rocky underground bunker.

The Game Archaeologist: Were sequels ever a good idea for MMOs?

In the history of MMORPGs, there have been many more...

The Daily Grind: Which lowbie MMO alt have you enjoyed playing the most?

20
Looking back over all of the characters that I've made in MMOs, I've probably spent half my time on low-level alts that never went anywhere. Yet that didn't feel like wasted time to me; I had fun with them and occasionally got to see the game from a slightly different perspective. Sometimes it's just fun to create and play lowbie...
