Massively Overpowered

I think about MMO fashion a lot because I'm a weird person who doesn't get invited to a lot of parties (or maybe it's the other way around). What puzzles me is how most MMOs seem to get very close to developing good cosmetic wardrobe systems and then drop the ball in different areas. For example, RIFT has it going on with...

Cloud Imperium has just launched Star Citizen's 2.0 alpha version to the public. "Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 is here! Today, we are proud to make the next major step in Star Citizen’s evolution available to all players. This major update to Star Citizen is available now in your launcher. With Alpha 2.0, we introduce a wide swath of features, including...

Who loves Albion Online? The game is clearly doing something right enough to celebrate 60,000 founders backing the game in its current beta test; that's no small number. Maybe it's the fact that the developers are already rolling out holiday events despite the beta testing, thus allowing people who just can't stop testing this game a chance to get...

There are lots of different flavors of creepy in Diablo III. Obviously, players are dealing with a world of the demonic at all times, but that doesn't mean there can't be scarier things than demons in the world. Greyhollow Island is coming in patch 2.4, and whilst it's more than likely tied to demonic goings-on, it's still creepy in...

Korean action-MMO Asker Online's idea of vampires has nothing to do with sparkles, counting, or plotting revenge against Simon Belmont. Instead, the Blood Vampire is all about leaping across the battlefield in a puff of dark smoke and then laying the smackdown on groups of foes with his giant scythe. The Blood Vampire is part of a series of patch events...

Announced earlier this week, Trove's new Chloromancer class draws inspiration from the RIFT class of the same name, and now we have a better understanding of just how the archetype will play. In a post capped off with Poison lyrics (what, go look), Trion Worlds has outlined the Chloromancer's skills. Expect emergency shields, turret-like plant pets, a lobbed heal-and-boom combo, and a classic plant-themed...

BioWare Community Manager Eric Musco hit the Star Wars: The Old Republic forums this afternoon and dived into the hellishly long discussion thread that's been rolling since the livestream earlier this month. In response to complaints about the perceived lack of PvP and group PvE content updates, he wrote, We know you are looking for more information on the timing of future group...

Look, I know what you're thinking, and I'm sorry to say there's not much to be done. As great a gift as it would be, we cannot give you a key to the current expansion testing, nor can we help your favorite World of Warcraft player with a long content drought. There's simply no technology available to prevent these...

Players of Destiny might well have expected the game's future updates to resemble what had happened before The Taken King, with medium-sized DLC packs containing more content. But that's not the direction that the game is going, and a recent update from the development team clarifies what is in the works. While the game is moving to a more...

The most recent patch for TERA added in two new dungeons along with a new class. But what if you're not sure about those dungeons holding your interest? Clearly, the only thing to do is to watch some footage of the boss fights helpfully provided by a player, so you have a clearer picture of what you're up against....
