Choose My Adventure: Rising through the ranks in Guild Wars 2
Hello, friends, and welcome yet again to another installment of Choose My Adventure. Over the course of last weekend, I've continued my journeys in Guild Wars 2's fantastical land of Tyria, and although I didn't manage to accomplish quite everything I set out to accomplish (more on that in a bit), I still managed to get quite a bit...
The Stream Team: Choose more SWTOR Agent adventures
It's been a while since MassivelyOP's Larry and MJ did the 12 Days of TOR, where they put their Star Wars: The Old Republic lives in the hands of viewers. But they haven't forgotten their promise to return to the Choose My Adventure format. MJ's Agent still has some adventures to finish before she can move into the expansion...
Check out the new Druid bear forms from World of Warcraft’s Legion alpha
What is the number one threat to Azeroth? Bears. That's why Druids can turn into bears, after all. The new World of Warcraft expansion brings in further customization for Druid forms, and you can see these new customizations in a short gallery highlighting the many different flavors of bear available.

Black Desert answers questions on localization and release
There is no way in the world to know when the second closed beta for a localized Black Desert will take place, although the first is planned for December. Why can't you know? Because it's all up in the air and depends wholly upon the localization process. There's a lot of text to translate before the game is ready...

Daybreak gifts two weeks of All-Access membership to EverQuest II returnees
Almost everyone knows that EverQuest II's newest expansion launched last week, but what you might not realize is that the very same day, Daybreak launched an initiative to entice players to return to the game. A number of long-absent players were granted two free weeks of All-Access membership (if you're missing yours, check your spam folder) just in time for a...
Crowfall: Milestones from eight months of development
Crowfall has been in development for eight months now. That sounds like a substantial amount of time until you think about how long games typically take to go from "Kickstarter concept" to "playable game." A new video from the development team shows off a part of the process by highlighting the development team's biweekly sprint meetings and how they...
Trove throws a ‘block’ Friday patch
Hey, we don't make the puns; we just report on them. Trove has indeed released its Block Friday patch in time for Thanksgiving here in the US, and players are gobbling it up.
In addition to several sales for the holiday, the patch includes the tools and ability for players to start creating their own custom battle arenas. Now, the...
The Daily Grind: What’s your favorite World of Warcraft memory?
Eleven years is a long time to cast one's recollection lines back into the memory pool, but several moments from the initial launch of World of Warcraft remain firmly embedded in my mind. I'll always remember the chaos of those initial weeks, my first steps as a Dwarf Hunter, and the joy that this game I'd been anticipating for...
