Massively Overpowered

Although MassivelyOP's MJ loves hunting for treasure chests in Landmark, the real treasures in the game are the incredible builds that players make. Some are beautiful in their simplicity, and some are so elaborate you have no idea what magics were used to construct them. Well, yes you do: It's voxelmancy. But that doesn't mean you know the secrets of...

Chances are that you and pretty much everyone you know won't be allowed in one part of Star Citizen: its Million Mile High Club. This special area is reserved for backers who dropped $10,000 on a package back in 2012. Since you won't be able to check it out in the game, blog Mystic Worlds has invited curious looky-loos to...

The team behind Valiance Online has been rather quiet lately, but a long string of silence was broken recently with a quartet of new character creation screenshots. Sure, they're mostly the same basic character creation shots, but that's more news than fans have had in a while. There's also a promise that something big will be coming out this...

I've had some time to think about Blade & Soul, and I'm still not sure exactly what I want to say about it. I enjoyed my time in the beta, yes. There are some kind of big outstanding issues that are definitely not going to be changed for launch, partly because they're part of the very nature of the...

Bethsoft has reportedly laid off a large number of Elder Scrolls Online support staff from its Irish base. The Connacht Tribune says that 300 customer service representatives have been let go from the Galway offices. "It is understood that just five or six employees remain at the premises," says the news organization. It's likely that as in 2014, many of the laid off are...

Massively OP's end-of-the-year awards conclude today with our award for MMO of the Year. In 2014, we couldn't reach consensus on an MMO of the year. In fact, enough of us voted "nothing" that "nothing" is exactly what won, which was a depressing way to end the year. I'm pleased to say that this year, the choices were a bit easier, in part because...

A hacker group called Phantom Squad is causing headaches for online console players today. Earlier this morning, Xbox Live came under a harsh DDOS attack that interrupted the service and made it impossible to log in for several hours before the hackers apparently stopped. The service is now performing as usual. PlayStation Network may be next, as Phantom Squad has made threats...

Guess who's back once again? If you said "Krampus in The Secret World," you read the title and you are also entirely correct. The bad news is that the creature is entering the world to do various nasty things, but players can turn the tables on Krampus by slipping through his portals to descend and fight Hel. Older holiday...

Being a writer for this particular outlet means getting to work from home, which means that the dress code rules aren't terrible restrictive. The men and women who guard Stormwind and Orgrimmar in World of Warcraft, by contrast, have a rather stricter dress code, what with armor and everything. But it appears that their bosses have allowed them all...

TERA's Knockout update launched earlier this month, bringing with it the brand-new Brawler class. (In fact, if you missed it, we still have keys left for a minipet!) But maybe you're holding off on the class because the promise of beating up monsters isn't enough... maybe you crave lore and backstory for your characters. That's exactly what En Masse...
