Massively Overpowered

While ZeniMax has yet to release any sales numbers from Elder Scrolls Online's console launch, at least one thing is crystal clear: the MMO is doing very, very well for itself on the PlayStation 4. The PlayStation Store posted its June sales charts, on which ESO was number one for the PlayStation 4. The game also topped the "add-ons" charts...

In this special podcastish episode, Larry, Justin, MJ, and Bree debate genre definitions, business models, and building the perfect MMO.

In the mood for some summer fun that doesn't actually involve leaving the house to go participate in any summer fun? Why not just fire up Neverwinter and enjoy the festivities for the game's Summer Festival? There's a variety of contests to take part in and two daily quests offered as well, giving you plenty of ways to take...

Could all of the toxic community behavior found in League of Legends actually be beneficial? It might be in a roundabout fashion, as Riot Games has performed countless hours of research on the issue in an attempt to discourage vile gamers and encourage positive sportsmanship. In a new interview at Re/code, Riot's social systems team revealed what it's been working...

The current expansion for World of Warcraft takes place on a world where there are no trolls, which means that it's unlikely we'll get an entire patch centered around killing trolls or even a new troll-themed dungeon. Thus, the latest timewalking dungeon preview shows off Gundrak, proving that even if you can't get a new dungeon full of troll...

Before a few months ago, the time that I spent in Marvel Heroes was largely uninformed and aimless. I figured it was just a Diablo click-fest that required very little knowledge other than how to work my index finger.

The big lore dump for Overwatch yesterday did not come from nowhere. Hot on the heels of that article connecting the mysterious Soldier: 76 to the supposed demise of strike commander Jack Morrison, a new hero has been added to the game's hero roster. It's the Soldier himself, and while playing him does not include a Reveal Predicted Face Behind Mask...

The most polite possible way to describe Derek Smart is "contentious." He's indisputably worked on several games of huge scope without great reception. But he's also in a unique position to evaluate the ambition behind Star Citizen due to the scope of those projects, and in a recent essay he states in no uncertain terms that he doesn't believe...

Will EverQuest II's new progression servers prove to be the popular gathering spot that EverQuest's was earlier this summer? We will soon find out, as testing has already commenced on the project. These time-locked expansion servers are currently available to beta test, although players are required to be all-access members to roll up new characters. There are two servers from...

To this day, I've really only been a "crafter" in a small handful of MMOs: Fallen Earth, World of Warcraft, and Lord of the Rings Online.
