Massively Overpowered

Another week, another wave of mass-bannings in Tree of Savior. IMCGames announced yesterday that it's banned 5,607 accounts that were using a UI hack that allowed them to remotely access the market, repairs, personal storage, and team storage outside of cities. According to the studio, 1151 had already been permanently banned and therefore their status has not been altered ...

It's hump day! The week is half over, and MassivelyOP's MJ is celebrating in HEX. It's not like she needs an excuse to play her battle bunny, but she'll jump on any reason to hop in! She still has some quests to finish: First up, taming a bubble bee. Can she finally find one? Tune in live at 2:00...

If our exclusive preview of The Secret World's Museum of the Occult last week has you pumped for more, then good news -- Funcom's got more. The studio has just released a teaser video walking players through the new zone that's a cross between personal housing and a Hall of Monuments-style achievement brag room.

Quick question: What does Overwatch have that Battleborn doesn't? If you answered "Winston," you are correct, but that's not the point. If you answered "players," your snark is appreciated, but that's still not the point. If you answered "the option to pay money for skins and taunts," you are correct, but you won't be correct after the June 16th...

Hello friends, and welcome back to Desert Nomad. This week is a pretty big one for Black Desert, as I’m sure you’re all aware. At some point this week, the game is getting the siege patch -- as of today, the update has been delayed until Friday. For players who are inclined toward PvP, this update is a major one,...

Despite being a two-year-old game, The Elder Scrolls Online has made a good showing at E3, which really shouldn't have surprised me -- but it did. According to ZeniMax marketing, the game has surpassed even its own expectations. I don't think that we can say that ESO is the most successful Elder Scrolls game ever; looking at the raw numbers, we...

Most MMORPG veterans are surely familiar with NCsoft's Lineage II, the 2003 sequel to the still-wildly-popular-in-Korea Lineage. Last spring, the EU publisher, Innova, began work on a hardcore classic version of the game, opening pre-orders and then launching the server last autumn after players voted overwhelmingly in favor of a classic, legacy shard that goes back to the game's...

That headline may sound strange, but after a long, hard talk with game creator JC Baillie of Novaquark at E3 this week, I feel it’s the most accurate. Initial rumblings about the game hinted at a huge, single server game with seamless planet-to-space action plus voxel-based world building. I was admittedly skeptical when I heard about it, even more...

As with many other MMO imports from Asia, ArcheAge often gives its community a heads-up as to what's coming down the pike thanks to earlier releases in Korea that eventually wind their way to the east. Yesterday, Trion Worlds confirmed what some players already assumed, which is that Korea's Ascension 3.0 update will be coming to North America and...

While World of Warcraft players will have to wait until the very end of August to dive into the new expansion, a major event and update is coming before that to keep the summer interesting. We speak, of course, of the Legion pre-expansion patch. This is the patch that gets everything in motion for the expansion, and it is now...
