Mo falls asleep and awakens to some unexpected patch changes. Farming goblins will never be the same.

Movie stills aside, we're still waiting to see our first real look at 2016's Warcraft film. The good news is that this will happen next week, as the film's first trailer will debut on July 11th in Hall H at the San Diego Comic Con. Of course, if you can't make it, there's always a good chance that it'll...

Final Fantasy XIV takes you on quite a ride on the way to level 60. There are indisputably fewer dungeons than there are from 1-50 (or more appropriately, 15-50), but the actual dungeons are more involved and fun. They're certainly more filled with loot, dropping a much higher number of items in a given run, which makes the greedy...

Are you ready to party? Because it's birthday time! The Secret World is celebrating its third year, and you're invited to a two-week bash that brings back the Guardians of Gaia event introduced the first year as well as the added Tokyo festivities from the second. That means now is the time to catch up on collecting all the...

Cryptic is incredibly excited about Neverwinter's upcoming guild housing if the studio's barrage of strongholds dev diaries is any indication. Strongholds won't just be given to players; guilds will need to fight hard to win them. The stronghold zone is infested with orcs, mercs, and even dragons, and players will need to "evict" them in the most lethal way possible. Once the...

It might not be your cup of tea, but Final Fantasy XIV is certainly the cup of tea for a large number of MMO players, though how many remains unclear. At a recent event in Japan, producer and director Naoki Yoshida stated that the game has acquired five million total subscribers since its rerelease, although he did not state...

I've been playing a lot of Assassin's Creed: Rogue here lately, and while it's certainly no MMO, it has managed to remind me of the MMO space's more addictive mechanics courtesy of its collection minigames. I've spent far more time sailing around the North Atlantic (and the rooftops of colonial New York) looking for floating musical shanties and glowing...

Were you too busy gaming this week to pay attention to MMO news? Get caught up every Sunday evening with Massively Overpowered's Week in Review! Trion confirmed this week that it is indeed porting Korean MMOARPG Devilian Online to the west as Devilian. In a welcome letter posted to the community, the head devs asserted that the game deserves the MMO label, talking...

Immersion. That's not a word you often hear associated with lobby-based PvP games. But in the case of World of Warships, the third title in Wargaming's WWII-era trilogy, it's more than just fitting; it's defining. Although not a battle simulation, WoWS offers a genuinely immersive experience thanks to the historical authenticity and the level of detail in both the...

The picture of WildStar's future is slowly starting to emerge from the haze with continuing discussion from Carbine Studios about this fall's business model shift and major game changes. Last Friday's studio livestream saw the devs spending nearly the entire time talking about free-to-play and what players can expect when it hits. Among the topics included the always-on sprint, how...
