Massively Overpowered

Now that you've had a day or two to properly ooh and ahh over the reconstructed New Lion's Arch in Guild Wars 2 like a tourist, you might be curious about how the devs went about making this new hub. A behind-the-scenes dev blog is your semi-access pass to the minds at ArenaNet as the team explains the decision behind...

Blizzard sure is proud of World of Warcraft's timewalking mechanic, at least if the number of related dev blogs is any indication. Today the firm released another one, this one focused on The Slave Pens and featuring a map, a boss breakdown, and some gameplay tips as well as a blurb about associated achievements and reputation. The blog post explains that...

Marvel Heroes' second anniversary month is going out with a bang. After three weeks of cow invasions, free heroes, and escalating XP bonuses, Gazillion is bringing back its craziest event: the Big 10. Basically, Big 10 is a whole bunch of events running simultaneously. Players will get extra log-in bonuses for the next week and enjoy activities such as Odin's...

Did you get enough SWTOR news this week? Either way, why not join Massively OP's Larry and MJ to talk about it all as they continue to try and cram in as much story XP as possible? You might also see more evil flow: Larry's convinced he can get MJ to fall deeper into the clutches of the dark...

Even as Skyforge winds down its final closed beta test, Allods Team still has more of the game to show off to fans. Today's dev blog concerns the Eskenian Peninsula, a tropical tourist trap that's quite easy on the eyes.

You know how you wince whenever you think of typing /played into your MMO and realize just how many hours you've given to a pretend world? I can only cringe at the thought of seeing a tally of how many in-game quests I've performed since 2001. At least 20. Probably more. Game developers are quick to tell you that there...

The studio behind MMOs RIFT, Defiance, and Trove tweeted out a mysterious message and link today, suggesting it's got a new game in the works. It lies in wait, the devil inside us all. devilinsideyou.com pic.twitter.com/8je0vxIV5E Is it an MMO? We freaking hope so,...

Today we're hanging out with Broadsword Online Games, the indie studio that emerged from the implosion of Mythic Entertainment a while back. Broadsword is now steward of the Ultima Online and Dark Age of Camelot franchises and is actively developing both of these veteran MMORPG titles. We've got three members of Broadsword with us today: President Rob Denton, UO Producer...

Star Wars Galaxies would have been 12 years old this week, had it lived a day past Star Wars: The Old Republic. That makes this the perfect time to dig up and try to answer an old email from longtime Massively OP reader Hagu the Pally in this week's Ask Mo. Why did SWG have so little influence on games...

Facing off against final boss in World of Warcraft's new Hellfire Citadel raid might have some players quaking in their steel codpieces, but we all know how it's going to end for him. Sure enough, Blizzard has forseen Archimonde's defeat and has created a death cinematic for him that you can see right now -- if you're willing to...
