Massively Overpowered

MMORPG Skyforge is turning one in July, which means it's party time in Aelion -- soon, anyway. My.com is teasing the festivities in a blog post today: "During the celebration players will be invited to view some fun statistics regarding the game, light off some fireworks, and receive some unique anniversary rewards! We’ll have more details to share as the...

Not every edition of World of Tanks is on equal footing, as content that's in one might be on its way or missing entirely from another. For a while now, PC players have enjoyed driving around French tanks (ooh la la) while console players have raged against the machine. For those console jockeys who were dying to man one...

It's almost the end of an era for Shroud of the Avatar, as the game is facing down its final wipe prior to next month's switch to a persistent world. However, before players have to say goodbye to their test characters, they can say hello to a new patch: Release 31. "We are only one release away from final wipe...

Today's Landmark patch will go hand-in-hand with the new appearance pack for players, allowing you to pay money to make your character something other than a baseline human. Whatever your feelings are on that particular business decision (which is the topic MJ has taken on this week, for the record), everyone can be happy about all of the other...

When I was a kid and only slightly more nerdy than I am today, I used to read movie novelizations like crazy. I don't know why, exactly, especially since I could have just watched the films themselves. I guess it was part of getting swept up with the transmedia hype of a good movie. I probably wore out my...

Marvel Heroes's big patch today was meant to conclude the game's anniversary event, but Gazillion is extending the festivities through the 4th of July holiday. "Once the clock strikes midnight on July 4th, the anniversary event will conclude, so stock up on cake slices while you can!" says the studio. "The anniversary event vendor will remain in-game for 1...

Age of Conan's big 5.0 update is live today, inserting a number of big changes into the MMORPG edition of Hyboria: Expect new daily login gifts, a new challenge journal system loaded with rewards, and the love-it-or-hate-it raid finder. Perhaps the most controversial addition, however, is the overhaul to the free-to-play model found in Funcom's new loyalty rewards program. Beginning today, Age of Conan...

The latest installment of Star Wars: The Old Republic's Knights of the Fallen Empire, The GEMINI Deception, is live for all subscribed players today. In fact, subbers will be getting a little something extra -- but only if they're subbed before tomorrow. "As part of the Subscriber Rewards Program, those subscribed by July 1 will receive an in-game HK-55 Victory...

I knew that new races would eventually come to Landmark! From the beginning it didn't make any sense to me that Daybreak would ignore something the community really wanted, especially when it obviously had the models already made. The studio showed them off quite publicly. Later, with the (total suckage) cancellation of EverQuest Next, I couldn't fathom letting those assets...

Pearl Abyss has released a new trailer this morning for its Korean Black Desert players showcasing the game's progress from its original open beta to now -- eight additional classes, two additional regions, pets, non-combat content, and PvP modes. It's basically a video infographic, and while it's not perfectly applicable to Daum's westernized edition, it's still worth a look...
