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 […]

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, […]

While Spry Fox’s cute and cozy-looking MMO Spirit Crossing isn’t out yet, there’s already a pretty big concern for the title as a whole — and the studio knows it. The issue is that of turning the game into a money-making venture without selling out its soul, a topic that’s the focus of a new […]

The second year of piratey naval conflict wrapped up in Skull and Bones, and Ubisoft said that it couldn’t be more pleased with how the title developed during the time. The studio posted a retrospective for Year 2’s accomplishments, including adding the Schooner, World Tiers, and the much-vaunted Faction War. “Year 2 was designed as […]

Project Gorgon always has been quite the social MMORPG, but now it’s going to have more structure to back that up thanks to the debut of its guild system. Players can form a guild for 200 ancient coins and five members, and they can share a bank and a special guild chat channel. “Please note […]

In the middle of layoffs and future uncertainty for Fortnite, the popular PvP title is latching onto Game of Thrones for its next cross-promotional boost. There’s going to be a new ice area while players can grab skins for Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, and the Night King. And this is just the beginning of the rest of […]

Many of the bravest souls emerged from Lord of the Rings Online’s Shire — but it is less-well-known that some of the fluffiest butts also came from this pastoral paradise. Ladies and gentlemen and Free Folk of Middle-earth, presenting… Sir Flufferbottom of Little Delving! “I have my goat and my flowery outfit, time to talk […]

For Lord of the Rings Online players who found their characters stuck on an unwanted — or closed — server, developer SSG has some good news: You might be able to move to a better home right now. Yesterday, the studio announced that it is re-activating transfers from the old 32-bit “dark world” servers to […]

Do you hear the cackle of a witch in the woods? Do you sense the disquieting presents of a ghoul in the closet behind you? Do you feel that you’re never too old to dress up in a costume and demand treats from strangers? Then it’s time to pull out your best glamour and partake […]

Here’s the crazy thing: It’s October 2025, and it already feels as though World of Warcraft: The War Within is completely over at one year and one month after its launch in August 2024. Back when the Worldsoul Saga was first announced, Blizzard said that these expansions would come faster than normal — but I […]

The door to Bilbo’s Haunted Burrow creaked back open as Lord of the Rings Online welcomed back the Harvestmath Festival on Thursday. The expansive annual event, which runs through November 3rd, includes activities in a haunted Hobbit home, a chilling maze, and even a sad story about a long-dead character that takes you through one […]

It’s been quite the rollercoaster of a week for World of Warcraft — and I’m not merely talking “ups” and “downs.” There were helixes and spirals and some unintended brake runs where too much lag infested the new Legion Remix mode.
