Massively Overpowered

Imagine you have a friend who wants to play an MMO but doesn't want to get involved in a game that's in decline or might not be around in five years. Where do you steer that friend? Which current or forthcoming MMO has the brightest future? I posed this question to the Massively OP writers for this week's Overthinking in...

As the holiday season and in-game events in most MMOs wind down, Festivult in Dungeons and Dragons Online is ticking to a close as well. Players have until January 3rd to plunder festival coins and turn them in for special rewards. Of course, they'll have to track down the elusive Festivult Jester -- who keeps changing location -- to get...

The holidays are pretty well and truly over for most of us, but they're not so far in the past that we can't get a little stir when we see videos celebrating the holidays. So while the new holiday video from Allods Online is a bit past the point when we would be seriously concerned about hanging ornaments and...

This year, we're taking a time-machine back through our MMO coverage, month by month, to hit the highlights and frame our journey before we head into 2016. December has been a surprisingly busy month in spite of the holidays, and rising to the occasion was Star Citizen, which launched its 2.0 alpha, passed the $100 million mark, and offered up trailer...

What better way to blast out the old year than with giant guns? MassivelOP's MJ was just starting to get the hang of piloting a giant mech last time, and she wants to continue practicing her skills. OK, OK,  so she really wants to blow things up! Tune in live at 4:00 p.m. as MJ says good-bye to 2015...

The year 2015 will go down in memory as a tumultuous time to be a fan of EverQuest and EverQuest II. Even disregarding all of the updates that the games themselves had, you can't distance the titles from the ballyhoo around Daybreak Games and the long radio silence surrounding EverQuest Next. So it seems apropos that the teams behind...

It has been quite a year for ArcheAge. As you look back over the past 12 months, you certainly can't say 2015 was uneventful; from content to controversies, something was always happening with this sandpark title. Not a month went by that didn't have some good, some bad, or even both! It was always a roller coaster ride! The year...

Dogma: Eternal Night is not about to let a failed Kickstarter campaign get it down. After admitting to a "difficult year" in 2015, Prelude Games Factory gave its supporters a peek into what's to come for the supernatural horror MMO in 2016. The first testing stages for the title will commence in the new year, even though the team isn't...

A long time ago on another website far, far away, I held a tradition of kicking off the new year by listing the top 10 MMOs that deserved attention and were likely to launch that year. These days, however, the industry has changed quite a bit, most notably with early access, open development, soft launches, and crowdfunding blurring the...

Botters and exploiters, beware: Tree of Savior isn't having any of that. The newly launched Korean title has banned over 1,000 accounts in its first week for taking advantage of the game. IMC Games swung the mighty banhammer to smack down accounts that were botting, exploiting, or using illegal programs. This follows a somewhat rocky release in which players have...
