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 […]

VR multiplayer sandbox Rec Room is shutting down on June 1

31 March 2026 at 21:00
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 […]

The Stream Team: EverQuest anniversary quest, take two

31 March 2026 at 07:55
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 […]

Vindictus brings a new raid boss and new equipment in its latest update

31 March 2026 at 06:00
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 […]

The Stream Team: Grinding those skills in Project Gorgon

31 March 2026 at 02:55
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 […]

Krafton has sunsetted tac shooter PUBG Blindspot after just two months in early access

30 March 2026 at 23:00
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 […]

Corepunk Q&A discusses recent layoffs, future updates, and challenges with funding and perception

30 March 2026 at 22:00
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 […]

Wizard101 has launched on Xbox and PlayStation at long last

10 October 2025 at 22:00
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 […]

Massively Overthinking: Is there a specific year of MMOs you’re glad you lived through?

10 October 2025 at 07:00
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 […]
