The next major patch for World of Warcraft is pitting players against what remains of the Iron Horde in the Tanaan Jungle, but unfortunately for players, the land route is blocked off. So what can you do? Why, you can take to the sea! But to do that, you might as well build an entirely new shipyard at your...

Individual character permadeath is so yesterday, right? An upcoming title, ECO, dares to think even bigger, proposing "server-wide permadeath" if players can't band together and stave off global disaster. The concept of ECO is that when a fresh server world boots up, players will find themselves racing against the clock to defeat a certain type of armageddon. To do so, they'll have...

The launch of The Elder Scrolls Online on consoles had some issues, chiefly that players were trying to log in and were unable to do so. The developers have addressed that fact, however, and a new update on the official site explains the problem. Essentially, the sheer number of people trying to log in were overloading the system's ability...

Every age of mankind holds its own interesting innovations and technological breakthroughs, but the industrial age was a new kind of awesome with its mechanical marvels. These machines will be part of Civilization Online's tapestry of history, and in a new video you can see what humans used these vehicles for (hint: blowing up everyone and everything else). It's a...

Only a little more than a week remains before Final Fantasy XIV's first expansion moves into early access for players. But if you have any lingering projects in the game you want to get finished before the expansion launches, you'll want to tackle them before June 18th. Maintenance on the game will start on the 18th at 5:00 a.m....

I'm not sure why Allods Online barely registers with western gamers. It's pretty, it's a well-made themepark MMO, and it has a couple of unique features, chief among them nifty aerial exploration gameplay. Maybe it was the gaudy cash shop prices way back in 2010, before free-to-play and exploitative business models became the norm. Maybe it was the fact that deep...

Daybreak has always been very clear that H1Z1 is a game in development, and while it can never be fast enough for fans, the game has been making steady strides in that department. Just the past week more was added and tweaked, so MassivelyOP's MJ wants to dive in and check those changes out. Will she survive until the...

The title of this post says it all, really. I mean, sure, I could flesh it out with some fluff text about how Final Fantasy XIV went from rags to riches in the feel-good MMO reboot story of the decade. And I could tell you how Naoki Yoshida is a great interview, a talented producer, and generally a game...

Are you ready for the good news? Monster Hunter Online's first elder dragon, a chap named Tartaronis, will be added tomorrow. And now for the bad news: Monster Hunter Online is a China-exclusive! Anyway, MHO is in closed beta, and it's scheduled to launch in China later this year. If you'll be there and you want to play, that's great...

The Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen devs have revealed a new race on the fantasy MMO's forums. The Dark Myr "hail from the planet Issul," according to a lengthy lore snippet that details the race's origins as well as its present status in the game's Frail Age. Based on the associated concept art, it's a safe bet that Pantheon's...
