Ready to head into the desert in Black Desert Online? If not, why not? Few other titles are so explicit about where you're going, after all; it's not like the game is Shiny Happy Forest With Ample Water Online. So you're going into the big old desert with the first part of the Valencia update, which expands the size...

I recently read an interesting opinion piece by Jason Winter that got me thinking about the general sense of apathy that he believes is trickling into the Guild Wars 2 playerbase because of the current content drought. After the Heart of Thorns launch, ArenaNet has been dedicating a significant portion of its man-hours to remedying some major grievances the community has been...

The Penguin is opening the Iceberg Lounge in Gotham City. That is... probably not a good thing, but it's still legal. So of course, DC Universe Online players will have to contend with the arrival of Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, and Catwoman at the grand opening. There's no way that's going to end well, but you don't have to...

Today marks the start of Riders of Icarus' head start, provided that you were one of the players who bought into it. For the rest of us, we'll have to wait until next week's July 6th open beta release. Either way, it looks like it's going to be an exciting time for the game as the team prepares a host of...

Multitime NBA champion Rick Fox has his sights set on H1Z1 as the next big e-sports field, so much so that he has partnered up with Daybreak in the hopes that the zombie arena will strike it big with viewers and pro teams. Fox owns Echo Fox, a professional e-sports team that competes in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and League of Legends. He said that...

It's been a while since Guild Wars 2 shook hands with its old friend the Living Story, huh? Well, the good news is that they're getting back together, and there's a new event to start kicking things into motion. The bad news is that a new event means that there's a possibility you won't be able to make the...

Sometimes we define our characters by what they we have done and accomplished with them. We've leveled them to the cap. We've gone on hair-raising raids. We've crafted enough goods to open a medieval Walmart. We've roleplayed a steamy romance for the entertainment of a rowdy tavern. Except... maybe we haven't. There are always those things you haven't done in...

Even if she wanted to right now, MassivelyOP's MJ couldn't siege in Black Desert thanks to the bug-induced delay. But that's OK because there are plenty of other things still to do. In fact, MJ could rampage through the land squashing all the bugs she finds in retaliation. It won't help bring the sieges any faster, but it will...

Landmark's launch hasn't gone unnoticed by the MMO blogging community. Several players have decided to use the game's official release as an opportunity to check it out again (or for the first time) and render a verdict of thumbs up... or thumbs down. So what do they think? MMOBro says that Landmark is not too shabby, commenting, "What I found was...

Steff has decreed the return of spirit of adventure -- and so it shall be! In the second part of this theme, the Battle Bards explore adventurous and inspirational MMO tunes.
