Massively Overpowered

Last month's Thanksgiving holiday in the US prompted several MMO bloggers to share their thanks for gaming and other geeky goodness. Stars of the Spiral had an entire list of thanksgiving, including a shoutout to CMs: "I give thanks to the community managers of Pirate101 and Wizard101 as well as #JuliaFromKI. Without them, the KingsIsle community would not be...

For some PvP players, there is nothing quite like the struggle of a truly epic siege. Appealing to players who like a good army vs. fortified castle situation is the upcoming Titan Siege, developed by Chengdu Storm Totem Studio. Titan Siege is set against the backdrop of a world ravaged by two factions of the titular titans and weaves together mythology...

Trove's newest class landed yesterday -- and it's bringing transMMO synergy to a whole new level. The Chloromancer obviously borrows its flora-based concept and skills from RIFT's class of the same name, and both games are getting in on Trove's act. The class actually can be obtained for free by completing an easy quest in RIFT, and both games are...

OK, Citizens. Put down your joysticks and listen up. Star Citizen's holiday hype trailer "From Pupil to Planet" has arrived and demands your eyeballs as it introduces the in-development procedurally generated planet system. Glide along with the camera as it pulls back from a character's pupils to show the scope and scale of space ships, stations, vistas, atmosphere, and planets...

Tree of Savior players in Singapore and Malaysia have a serious, deadly, world-shattering choice to make. OK, it's not that dire, although it is a little interesting. IMC Games said that it is allowing players from those countries to choose from one of two servers and their operators. The first choice is rolling on the international English server through Steam, while...

Paladins isn't officially launched yet, but Hi-Rez is already planning its competitive scene -- and its first tournament. On the official forums yesterday, Hi-Rez President Stewart Chisam wrote, At Hi-Rez, we are very serious about esports, and we feel Paladins has strong potential to become a great competitive game. Doing so, however, will require “early adopters” to come into the scene...

We might not have flying cars here in the year 2015, but we do have a game that's trying its hardest to create flying airships. That title, of course, is Worlds Adrift, an exploration MMO that might still be in early development but isn't afraid to show off what it's got. Over the past couple of weeks, the developers have...

It never fails. I am too weak to resist a Secret World dev tour! Even knowing that spoilers will abound, I cannot help myself -- I must see what's in store. I call it my civic duty; after all, I need to report it to you, yes? Of course, you could just wait a smidgen and see for yourself...

Here's an interesting tidbit: Did you know that killing one player in a PvP area in World of Warcraft can get you banned? Not normally, perhaps, but a multiboxer playing on 60 simultaneous accounts reported a player on every one of those accounts, with speculation on Reddit being that it tripped an automated ban on Blizzard's end. The original...

Sword Coast Legends had a bumpy start earlier this fall, with delays and mixed reviews upon release. However, the title has been patching in content and fixes fairly regularly since then, and the developers are hoping that the larger community will come give it a second look to see how far it's come. Thus, this weekend anyone can play Sword...
