Skyforge's Pantheon Wars are gradually coming to a close, taking no prisoner and sparing no hurt feelings. The Allods Team is already preparing for the bloody coda, Tessa Temple Battles, and prepped a dev blog to talk about this staged conflict. Tessa Temple Battles are 10v10 fights between warring pantheons that each control a celestial temple for the goal of...

This year, we're taking a time-machine back through our MMO coverage, month by month, to hit the highlights and frame our journey before we head into 2016. I'm not sure which MMO had a worse May: WildStar, which finally admitted it was going free-to-play this month, or World of Warcraft, which lost three million subscriptions in three months. May also played host...

Istaria -- the MMO that will forever be linked to its former title of Horizons with any mention of it, making one wonder why the name change was needed -- just blew out the candles on its 12th birthday cake.

During this time we have gathered immense amounts of feedback, information, and data on the game. We’ve loved seeing how you’ve played...

Record of Lodoss War Online is old-school. It's meant to be old-school. The IP that it's referencing is old-school, its gameplay mechanics and graphics are meant to be old-school, the long stretches of radio silence regarding the title are old-school.

If we could all get whatever we wanted tomorrow, I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts we would all want the same fundamental thing: the best game ever. What that game is would vary, but we'd all want it. So let's mix things up a bit - if you could have anything you want in an extant game, rather...
