Massively Overpowered

Hat tip to Redditor dejoblue, who's reminded everyone about the fateful day back in 2005 when SOE, struggling in the wake of World of Warcraft's 2004 launch, gutted Star Wars Galaxies with "new game enhancements" and pissed off a couple hundred thousand Star Wars fans. Wrote no less than The New York Times, 10 years ago today,  radically revamped the game in...

One of the benefits of publishing games from across the Pacific is that a studio can get it to us quickly, and that's exactly what's happened with Trion Worlds' MMOARPG Devilian, which formally launches today, just a few short months after its June 2015 reveal. Massively OP's Justin Olivetti scoped out the game's testing in October, declaring in his first impressions, To...

David Georgeson is best known, of late, for the work he did on both Landmark and EverQuest Next before departing Daybreak. Jeremy Soule is known for making amazing soundtracks for so many games that it's impractical to list all of them in tags. Now, we know that they're joining forces to develop orbital satellites to ensure their domination over...

Blade & Soul begins its next-to-last beta test tomorrow, and if you're not in it, that could be because you haven't pre-ordered with a founder pack yet. So how would you like to win one? NCsoft has granted Massively OP 10 "Master" founder packs, the highest-tier packs you can get, to dole out to our readers. These founder packs are valued at $124.99...

I hadn't heard of Paragon before last weekend, but after watching the brief gameplay clip that Epic released to tease its upcoming MOBA, I'm kinda interested. MOBAs have steadily grown on me over the past year, and while I've been enjoying League of Legends sporadically, I really miss Infinite Crisis because of Batman's various gadgets and some of the...

The upcoming superhero MMO City of Titans has ambitious plans to build up to 40 districts for the game. But how will it create these sculpted maps with an indie crew? By harnessing government science, that's how. The team explained that it's legally appropriating data from the government to build the game world: "There’s a lot of science funded by...

The holidays are upon Anarchy Online and that means one thing: utter leet madness! Santaleets, elfleets, gift-wrapped leets, and gingerleets all need your help with various tasks, up to and including driving alien forces out of a certain industrious workshop. The seasonal events are running through January 5th and include several quests scattered around the game world. If players are...

MassivelyOP's MJ has been busy in ARK hatching a diabolical plan -- quite literally. She's been breeding and raising a flock of albino dimorphodons. Because of their small size, these dinos are well-suited to cave adventures. Plus, they are just plain adorable and fun! Now that the brood has grown, MJ is ready to take them out of the...

Sometimes you put up with a lot from your friends, and sometimes they have to put up with something for you. After all, you know that some of your friends don't really care for the MOBA genre, so you don't mention your obsession with Heroes of the Storm. But now there's a whole recruit-a-friend thing available, and it has an...

Just because a game is in beta doesn't mean that it can't bust out an event or two, right? Albion Online thinks so, anyway, and has added a couple of fun Christmas and New Year's activities in its December Aurelius update. Snowball fight, anyone? Aurelius is more about holiday frivolities, of course. The patch added three new dungeon types, 23 dungeons,...
