With the war prep concluded, Massively OP’s MJ is heading to the front lines to meet up with Rytlock and Faren in Guild Wars 2. Scarabs must be smashed! And who better to face this pestilence than MJ, who is very brave. After all, the quest itself declares I’m Brave, You Know. Then it’s on […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
It’s sad news this week for fans of the multiplayer hangout and building space Rec Room, as the developers have announced that the game is closing down after a decade on June 1st. And the farewell letter is quite clear about what’s going on: Despite a decade of trying, the project never reached a sustainable […]
When Massively OP’s MJ tried to work her way through EverQuest’s new 27th anniversary quest, she failed. Face-first-in-the-snow kind of failure. After dying to the ambush and recollecting her corpse, she couldn’t get the mission to continue at all. Today, she’s hoping she can give it another go, whether it is continuing or dropping the […]
Genshin Impact already gave players a reason to return to the starting area of Mondstadt back in February, but now it’s giving those folks a reason to stay with its next update scheduled for Wednesday, April 8th, by way of a new part of the region to explore. The zone will expand northward into a region […]
Not every raid boss that players fight in Vindictus is some horrible monster. In fact, a great number of them are actually quite pretty in some ways. So when the action MMORPG’s latest update added a cute-looking mage as its latest raid fight, you probably shouldn’t blink an eye too much. Especially when she unleashes spell hell […]
Some days are just a grind. When her initial confidence in conquering the spider cave in Project Gorgon was beaten to death, Massively OP’s MJ knew she needed to get her other skills to level 10. So now she’s back in the dungeon to grind up her sword and unarmed skills just so she can […]
Sure, we’ve seen a couple of games that combine creature collecting and survival sandbox mechanics before, but what if that game format were more about ARPG combat and also let players directly control the companions they capture? That seems to be the elevator pitch of Never Wither, a developing multiplayer survival crafting ARPG from studio […]
PUBG Blindspot was probably always doomed to be in MMORPG fans’ blindspot, given that it was a multiplayer tactical shooter, but you still might’ve though Krafton would be able to make it stick in the games industry with the word “PUBG” attached to it. Apparently not: Over the weekend, Krafton’s ARC Team (no relation to […]
Last month we were all given some worrying news about Corepunk developer Artificial Core, as the studio suffered some layoffs that led players to assume the worst for the early access MMO’s prospects of crossing the finish line. And while the studio has already made sure to state that the game wasn’t abandoned, it still continued to […]
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 […]
With everything else going on, it’s easy to have missed that PAX East was kicking off over the weekend, which is where Digital Extremes dropped some new details for its games Warframe and Soulframe during its panel at the convention’s main theater. A large number of reveals were made for Soulframe at the event, chief among them being […]
There are plenty of MMORPGs out there, but few can match Wizard101 in being a fun all-ages romp of a thing… which is why it’s a good thing to note that at long last, the title is available on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Now younger players (and older players who like a touch of whimsy to […]
It’s the Eye of the Titan, it’s the thrill of its plight Risin’ up to the challenge of its survival And the first known Warforged wasn’t built by Cannith And we learn that by staring into the Eye of the Titan House Cannith’s claims to have created the Warforged in Dungeons & Dragons Online? Rubbish! […]
This week’s Massively Overthinking is inspired directly by something MOP reader Zulika said last month in comments about Smed’s new MMOFPS. “More and more I am just glad past me was around to experience MMOs starting in 2000.” OK, obviously Zulika was throwing deserved shade on some of 2025’s excesses, but let’s talk about more […]
This week saw the first season arrive to the early access mulitplayer sandbox of Skate, and like all games that run a seasonal model, this one is once again making sure that players are made aware that it has a battle pass – sorry, skate pass – that offers up cosmetic goodies to earn. The […]
