The Daily Grind: If you had room for only two MMOs on your computer, which would they be?

1 April 2026 at 20:00
Recently, my gaming desktop of 10 years ground to a screeching halt and died pathetically while my hopes, dreams, and Steam library evaporated. While I search for a good deal on a new one, I’ve had to make do with laptops that only have space for one or two titles. While we get spoiled for […]

ARC Raiders’ Flashpoint update arrives with a new map, enemies, and weapons

1 April 2026 at 07:00
Nexon and Embark aren’t letting ARC Raiders go long without new stuff: The Flashpoint Update droppped today with a new challenge to tackle: “Raiders will encounter the new Close Scrutiny ARC Operation map condition, introducing high-risk engagements and high-value targets centered around the ARC Assessor—a heavily guarded unit carrying rare components tied to player progression.” Players […]

Final Fantasy XI revamps tutorial quests and makes Skirmish easier to access

1 April 2026 at 06:00
If you’ve tried to go back to Final Fantasy XI at any point or even tried to start the game completely new… well, you know it’s not an easy thing to do. The game has a tutorial quest, but it hasn’t been updated in years, and that’s without dealing with things like maps being expensive. So […]

Pantheon Rise of the Fallen teases its upcoming Paladin class refresh

1 April 2026 at 05:00
Where my Paladins at? You’re next up for Pantheon Rise of the Fallen’s series of class refresh dev blogs, and Visionary Realms is hopeful you’ll like what you see. The new Pally is still basically a tank or healer who deals with the Wrath combat resource, and Pallies will still be able to spec into […]

Albion Online’s Rites of Spring returns with the chance at getting an all-new bunny mount

1 April 2026 at 02:00
Albion Online players are probably pretty familiar with the Rites of Spring seasonal event that happens every year. What they’re perhaps not familiar with, however, is that this year’s event features something truly important. Truly magical. Truly springlike. A giatn bunny mount. Yes, the seasonal event will once again see colorful eggs sprout all across the […]

1 April 2026 at 01:30
It looks as if Spirit Crossing is making its way closer and closer to its next alpha patch release, as the game’s latest post is once again focused on a feature update in 14.9. And this one is for the social butterflies in the room. First off, players will gain access to the proximity chat sooner, unlocking […]

Throne and Liberty delays global update a week, players resort to peeping the Korean patch notes

1 April 2026 at 01:00
If you were gearing up for the April 2nd Throne and Liberty patch, go ahead and gear back down because it’s been delayed without any reason other than that Amazon says it wants to “ensure a smooth release,” which you would think would always be true. And unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to be an April […]

Indie MMO Drakantos reveals its hella ambitious PvP modes ahead of May beta

1 April 2026 at 00:30
Drakantos is one of the cuter indie MMORPGs we’ve been keeping an eye on over the last few years, so we’re happy to hear that it’s gearing up for yet another beta test in May. Unlike the last one, this test will focus on PvP tuning, though you don’t have to engage and can play […]

RuneScape Dragonwilds’ Dowdun Reach is live today with new quest content and dedicated servers

31 March 2026 at 22:30
As promised, RuneScape Dragonwilds’ 0.11 patch has entered the survival sandbox’s early access chat today, bearing the uncomfortable name Dowdun Reach, which either sounds like “dowdy” or reminds me of Downton Abbey every single time I see it. The patch itself is anything but dowdy, however, as players are looking at new quests, new building […]

World of Warcraft’s Holly Longdale speaks to future development: ‘We want to add dazzle to it’

31 March 2026 at 21:30
Recently, World of Warcraft Executive Producer Holly Longdale sat down to do one of those fluffy interviews where much was said about the future of the game, almost all of it being very non-committal. You know those kinds of interviews? I think Blizzard gives its staff seminars on how to conduct them. In any case, […]

And the farewell letter is quite clear about what’s going on: Despite a decade of trying, the project never reached a sustainable […]
