Massively Overpowered

Are you ready for a new year, and a new decade, of Choose My Alignment adventures in SWTOR? Massively OP's Larry and MJ are! They are currently in the middle of convincing various factions to work with their double-crossing plans (so they can secretly double-cross those!). Come make some memories on Mek-Sha by tuning in live at 8:00 p.m....

We've been taking a tour back through our MMO coverage, month by month, to hit the highlights and frame our journey before we launch into 2020 and a whole new decade of MMOs, and now we come to the final month of 2019: December. It'd be tempting to assume December is a slow month, as it is somewhat slower on...

Nobody wants to have their creative endeavors trashed and game developers certainly shouldn't be outright abused in a physical or mental sense. That said, some criticism for kicking out and selling an incomplete game on Steam should be expected. And while Hellion developer Zero Gravity has certainly taken its lumps, it also is directly responding to a YouTube video...

Today we're continuing our countdown of Massively OP's weirdest MMORPG stories of 2019! Coming in at #4 on our list is... Snoop Dogg has a giant mural of Star Trek Online concept art in his home Rapper Snoop Dogg is apparently a big sci-fi fan and loves Star Trek in particular. So it shouldn't really surprise anyone that this big ol' nerd...

Final Fantasy XI has a few things planned for the month of January according to a recent forum post from the devs. Players can look forward to some Beastmaster and Domain Invasion changes, a new fight in the Ambuscade, and a couple of other updates. The Ambuscade appears to be celebrating the coming new year with a fight against...

It would appear that Nexon is keen on smooshing together some of its studios in the interests of "organically integrating the know-how and resources of each development corporation through the restructuring of its affiliates" according to a press release. I'm not entirely sure what the heck that means, but it does mean that Nexon has bought all of the...

Overwatch 2 and Path of Exile 2 being announced in such close proximity, plus rumors of an Anthem reboot in the weeks and the re-announcement of Mortal Online 2, are starting to make for a trend - and I'm not entirely sure I'm happy about it. MMO players are traditionally wary about sequels in our home genre. Sure, sometimes you...

I feel like a broken record saying this, but the success of a blog is not just about page views or ad impressions or click-through or conversions or all those boring things. It's also about comments and reader engagement! And that's because the things you like to click on aren't necessarily the things you like to talk about or...

The down side of doing these columns at the end of the year every year is that there's a certain challenge of writing the introductions. The up side? They're not a vote! I can just put whatever I want on them in any order that tickles me, and no one else gets a vote on the matter! So, anyhow,...

Time for another annual tradition here on Massively OP: the counting of the polls! Yes, we run a bunch of polls in our irregular Leaderboard column every year, but how many of you vote and then never go back to see how it turned out? That's what we're gonna do right here right now for some of our most...
