Massively Overpowered

If you've been hiding under a rock for the past couple of years and have no clue about the crowdfunded beast that is Star Citizen, a new article at Wired will bring you up to speed. Not in a hurry, mind you, since it's a lengthy piece featuring everything from an interview with a dude who's spent over $22,000 backing the game...

So here's something that doesn't happen very often: I talked a friend out of buying Star Citizen's Vanguard LTI concept. In the past I've spoken enthusiastically about Cloud Imperium's space sim sandbox and I'm still looking forward to it, of course. But in this particular case I advised my buddy to either spend $250 bucks on a ship he could tool...

Mac users, you are cleared for departure. Set a course for the beta star system and engage, although be warned: It may get a little bumpy due to space bugs. The Mac beta for Elite: Dangerous is now live, although currently only those who had access to the PC alpha or beta program are allowed to participate. Frontier expects to...

EverQuest II's latest producer's letter is a bit lower key than previous entries, perhaps, but no less vital for it. The letter outlines new class balance changes that are being tested for Fighters, Summoners, and Scouts. High-priority issues have been lingering for all three classes for some time, so all three are due for revamps that will make them more...

Today, we're reintroducing our general MMO advice column, here named Ask Mo: the column where you ask Mo questions, and he... lets me answer them for him because he doesn't talk, see. That's his thing. The first question is an oldie but goodie that arrived in our inbox recently: I have always been a huge fan of MMOs, since the original days...

Fish and chips is a dish of English origin consisting of battered fish and french fries, preferably served with tartar sauce for the fish and ketchup for the fries. It's tasty. Fish 'N' Ships, on the other hand, is an update for Trove that you should most definitely not attempt to eat, even ignoring that updates are a metaphysical...

Ever get bummed when MMOs are released in Asia and then, eventually (or perhaps never) ported to other regions? Well, this time around one Korean MMO will be headed to North America before releasing in its home country. Neople announced that Ghost in the Shell Online is slated for a NA release before it goes to other regions: "As Neople's...

So what awaits you at the end of the road in Skyforge? Sure, you become a deity, but what are you actually going to do once you get there, sit around and occasionally appear in mustard jars for the faithful? A new development blog makes it clear that you'll have far more active things to do, including taking part...

It's April 1st, and in the MMO space that means that studios morph into merry tricksters and devious liars. But how will you keep track of all the goings-on today? With this article, of course! We'll be endeavoring to collect and link to all of the fun and wacky April Fools' Day pranks that are going on in MMOs and...

The (as of yet unspecified) plans to create a mobile version of Final Fantasy XI touches on a sore subject for me: the lack of quality MMOs in the mobile market. Perhaps they're too complex to boil down to a touch screen, but I'm hoping that if FFXI can create a decent mobile adaptation, then other studios will perhaps...
