Massively Overpowered

On the fifth day of TOR story the Empire gave to me... crazy Alderaan families! Yes, MassivelyOP's Larry and MJ got stuck on Alderaan, where rich nobles are duking it out for control of the planet (as opposed to the Hutts and blatant criminals experienced earlier). Can our Imperial team make it through the story on this planet quickly...

It's the most wonderful time of the year, everyone. No, not December; it's October and a month full of Halloween-related festivities. World of Warcraft is gearing up for Hallow's End celebrations as it does every year, complete with pumpkin-themed vanity gear, costumes, candy, and presumably a visit from the Headless Horseman. Players can also decorate their garrisons in holiday...

Face it: You can always stand to become a little more uber in Age of Conan. Funcom knows this, which is why the studio is preparing the next steps of your character's endgame progression. First up is the creation of Tier 6 armor, which required some adjustments to the stats on Tier 5. "This new T6 set bonus will provide...

Did you vote for Galactic President Prolapser in Ascent? Possibly not, but everyone has to deal with what's happened as a result of his administration. Said president has instituted sweeping price reforms, making the prices of things like meat much lower and the price of raw materials much higher. Planetary mayors are also now able to ban certain goods...

I'm not really on board with the trend of saying that big expansions are back. They never left. Sure, we have one coming out for Star Wars: The Old Republic and Guild Wars 2, but World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy XI, and Final Fantasy XIV have all been keeping the faith for a long while now. Their format shifted...

Buried amid all of the hubbub of WildStar's free-to-play launch is the news that the game is no longer region-locked (although it still does not support cross-region play). Players can now select either the North American or European servers from the launcher regardless of where they live or what code is associated with that account. "Characters / items / etc....

Patreon, the platform we use for ongoing crowdfunding of Massively OP, recently suffered a data breach. We do not have any reason to believe that usable sensitive data were yoinked at all, let alone from our specific Patrons, but we wanted to keep you apprised. Here is the email we were sent this morning: Dear Massively Overpowered, Yesterday we learned that there...

Call my stance on Trion World's upcoming Devilian "oh-so-cautiously interested." Personally, I think Trion invited more grief than it wanted with the importation of ArcheAge to its portfolio, and with many MMO players still stinging from the disappointments that ensued with that title, I almost cringed when I heard that Trion was bringing in yet another game from Korea. Almost cringed. Because...

As we enter October, people are inevitably going to be asking for hoverboards because a movie once posited that October 21st, 2015, would include readily available hoverboards for purchase. If anyone asks you, however, you can just point the questioner toward The Secret World, which has multiple styles of hoverboard available, as well as new World War II-themed vehicles...

How would you like for one of your favorite authors to come in and pen content for your virtual world? R.A. Salvatore fans get to experience just that in Neverwinter when Underdark releases this fall.
