The Stream Team: More MechWarrior Online piloting practice

3
What better way to blast out the old year than with giant guns? MassivelOP's MJ was just starting to get the hang of piloting a giant mech last time, and she wants to continue practicing her skills. OK, OK,  so she really wants to blow things up! Tune in live at 4:00 p.m. as MJ says good-bye to 2015...
Questing ever onward.

A special message of thanks from the EverQuest and EverQuest II teams

13
The year 2015 will go down in memory as a tumultuous time to be a fan of EverQuest and EverQuest II. Even disregarding all of the updates that the games themselves had, you can't distance the titles from the ballyhoo around Daybreak Games and the long radio silence surrounding EverQuest Next. So it seems apropos that the teams behind...

Tiptoeing through ArcheAge’s 2015

40
It has been quite a year for ArcheAge. As you look back over the past 12 months, you certainly can't say 2015 was uneventful; from content to controversies, something was always happening with this sandpark title. Not a month went by that didn't have some good, some bad, or even both! It was always a roller coaster ride! The year...

Dogma: Eternal Night shows sewer demo

15
Dogma: Eternal Night is not about to let a failed Kickstarter campaign get it down. After admitting to a "difficult year" in 2015, Prelude Games Factory gave its supporters a peek into what's to come for the supernatural horror MMO in 2016. The first testing stages for the title will commence in the new year, even though the team isn't...

Perfect Ten: The MMORPGs to watch in 2016

98
A long time ago on another website far, far away, I held a tradition of kicking off the new year by listing the top 10 MMOs that deserved attention and were likely to launch that year. These days, however, the industry has changed quite a bit, most notably with early access, open development, soft launches, and crowdfunding blurring the...

Tree of Savior swings the banhammer following its Korean launch

16
Botters and exploiters, beware: Tree of Savior isn't having any of that. The newly launched Korean title has banned over 1,000 accounts in its first week for taking advantage of the game. IMC Games swung the mighty banhammer to smack down accounts that were botting, exploiting, or using illegal programs. This follows a somewhat rocky release in which players have...
A whole new wait, no, not doing this song, never mind.

Nexon is bringing free-form flight to TERA in Korea

54
You all remember how Nexon is taking over publishing duties for TERA in Korea, right? It's important to remember it, because otherwise the newest Korean trailer for the game would make very little sense. You'd be all "why is Nexon of all companies making promises about open-world flight in TERA" and you'd completely lose sight of the message. The...
More for the slaughter once again.

Crowfall testing resumes on January 6th

5
There's a new video from the development team behind Crowfall taking a look at the game's past year of development while thanking players who have been along for the ride. But when will you get to start playing the game again? On January 6th, as it happens, just over a week from today. Currently, six overall tests are scheduled, three...

The Daily Grind: Do you have any resolutions for 2016 in MMOs?

112
2016 is almost here, and I nearly forgot all about it! It feels less like "New Year's Eve" and more like "Thursday, get all of your writing turned in on time" to me. But it still means that the new year is about to kick off, which seems like the perfect point to start making some resolutions about what...

The Stream Team: Going wild in WildStar’s Winterfest

1
Holidays mean festivals! And in WildStar, it's the grand celebration of Protostar's Winterfest that brings the seasonal cheer and gift-giving (and most importantly, gift-buying!). MassivelyOP's MJ is excited to delve into the festivities. She'll do some some caroling, smash some snowmen, and even stop at the SuperMall-in-the-Sky. Will she meet the notorious "Papa" Phineas T. Rotostar himself? Join us...
