Massively Overpowered

Are you testing the next World of Warcraft expansion? More people have been invited into said test, which is now allowing players to venture into Stormheim and Highmountain. Even if you're not able to try out the expansion, however, you can still enjoy all of the information being datamined and sussed out before the expansion goes live, which includes...

What is an alpha, really? What's the dividing line between an alpha and a pre-alpha when both are playable? If a game has had a functional cash shop since the prior presidential administration but is still officially not launched, is it still in beta? These are the questions being addressed in the latest development dispatch from Crowfall's development team,...

Marvel Heroes has something of a tradition of rebranding now, with each new year bringing a new edition of updates and improvements to the game. An extensive set of updates are planned for Marvel Heroes 2016, and it's all just about done... except it could apparently use a little more time being polished up. Thus, it's being delayed until...

The recent news about Lord of the Rings Online's insta-95 struck me as odd. Not only is LotRO's endgame pretty crap, but if ever there was a themepark MMO about which the old journey-is-more-important-than-the-destination cliche rings true, it would be LotRO, due both to its source material and its wealth of content. So, while I'm usually all about skipping MMO...

Last time MassivelyOP's MJ tried to do The Steady Traveler expedition, something was buggy and didn't let the group be in the same instance. So today they are trying it again! After they finish that short instance, there is plenty more adventure to be had around the Nexus. Tune in live at 8:00 p.m. to find out how much...

In Star Trek: First Contact, Captain Jean-Luc Picard outright states that human beings in the Federation are no longer motivated by the acquisition of money. Star Trek Online makes that a truism because players are not going to take part in this year's winter festivities for anything so base as money. No, they'll be taking part in it for...

Hi-Rez has posted an open letter to Tribes: Ascend's community on Reddit. The forthcoming Out of the Blue patch is a huge undertaking for a four-person dev team, Hi-Rez says, but said dev team desired to see the game "return to form" and feel "more spiritually aligned" with older Tribes titles. Simultaneously, the team's goal has been to avoid alienating...

Server technology is definitely some sort of black alchemy. The new EVE Online server technology is being installed and tested at the CCP Games home office, and you can tell that all of the arcane patterns woven into server structures are just creatively cropped out of the pictures. You just know it. Still, it's good news for players, not...

Granado Espada Europe is apparently an MMO that some people play, though as the title implies, that playing happens mostly in Europe. German publisher EuroGameZ GmbH put together a press release this week designed to hype a trio of three "big events" that are currently ongoing. The first is called Black Friday Event, somewhat curiously of course, since Black Friday is...

You know what this genre needs more of? Hardcore PvP MMOs! Just kidding. But how about a really pretty 3-D hardcore PvP MMO with "political deceit, war atrocities and vile treachery"? Those are harder to find, but one arrives today with a free-to-play model: Sphere 3. NIKITA ONLINE is proud to announce, that Sphere 3: Enchanted World is now available to...
