Final Fantasy XIV previews ‘Before the Fall’ update

15
Things are not going well in Final Fantasy XIV. In the game world, that is, not the real world. The first part of the 2.5 patch saw the Scions of the Seventh Dawn suffer a noteworthy loss, and all appearances indicate that it'll get worse before it gets better. The most recent preview of 2.55's content seems to back...
All right, the Lopp have some chops here too.

Today specifically marks the one-year anniversary of Reaper of Souls, and what with all of the various souls that have been reaped, the folks at Blizzard have gotten sentimental. So they've turned on a buff for dedicated players for...

The Daily Grind: Do you have a love/hate relationship with an MMO?

152
For the most part, my MMO gaming world is pretty black and white. If I enjoy a game, then I'm playing it. If I'm not playing it, either it doesn't interest me or I have negative feelings toward it. But then there's the weird case of Guild Wars 2, an MMO that I simultaneously love and hate. It's a weird...

The Stream Team: Conquering EverQuest II’s Chronoportals

5
The fact that EverQuest II was literally born out of the popularity of EverQuest is not lost on the younger game, and during the yearly Chronoportal event, EQII pays hilarious homage to the game that started the franchise. Massively OP's MJ is putting on her tour guide hat and taking a trip through time to experience some classic EQ...

A new indie project, Starship Empire, is asking for $10K on Kickstarter to purchase better artwork for this stellar ship simulator. Starship Empire gives you command...
