We're happy to have them as an...

Had enough of combat in MMOs? Are you looking to express yourself... magically? Then you might want to take a peek at Mage Faire Online, an indie title that is currently in alpha testing. Mage Faire Online takes place in an enchanted painting, which means that as the devs put it, "Everything in the world is like a painting within...

It's safe to say that you'll be accumulating a lot of materials and gear in the indie sandbox TUG, so storage is of a higher importance than it would be otherwise.

Amazing story, awesome cutscenes, phenomenal atmosphere, compelling missions, incredible NPCs... The Secret World definitely has a lot of good things going for it.

Looking forward to the next evolution of WildStar? Well, it's coming, cupcake! The team announced today that it's started testing the next drop, Invasion: Nexus. The update will be a goodie bag of content for just about every type of player.

Crowfall's Kickstarter campaign has crossed the 12,000 backer mark and hit yet another stretch goal. This means that the team will be giving an All-Father housing statue to everyone who backs the game. At 13,000 backers, ArtCraft will grant every backer a free month of VIP come launch.

Flameseeker Chronicles is back, now under new management! I can't tell you how thrilled I am to write the fortnightly column about all things Guild Wars 2. Some of you might remember me from my previous brief stint writing for Massively-of-old when I started the MMO Mechanics column back in late 2013. I'm delighted to be back on board...
