February is a time for lovers, a time for cuddling, and of course a time for Mabinogi players to take stock of their wings and whether or not they are enchanted optimally. That last one might not feel like it is quite traditional, but the quality-of-life patch that the game has just dropped adds a number of […]

Have you ever had that moment when you and another car are racing to get the last parking spot near a store? Have you thought to yourself that this would make for a great video game if it also featured rockets and collisions and the mechanics of musical chairs? If so, well, maybe you are […]

So despite the fact that I am a devout City of Heroes person on this site, I have something of a minority opinion in that I have never liked the original login music for the game. No, really. I think the replacement tune used for when the game went free-to-play sounds much better, and I will die on […]

For many years now, we (or one of our writers, if we’re being honest) have noted that Final Fantasy XI has been mostly treating its annual holidays by turning on familiar events and letting players enjoy them. This is true, as the game is mature and has plenty of events as it is. But the Doll […]

Join us for our weekly open thread! We're discussing what MMOs we're playing this weekend and answering a bonus question about movies you've somehow never seen...

Boy, people in space get angry, huh? That’s the takeaway from Star Wrath, a new game in close beta that hits that good old-fashioned PvPvE extraction drum for appeal. If you want to extract from space but you are also extremely angry about it for various reasons, maybe it is exactly what you’re looking for. Meanwhile, Time […]

Once every year, Final Fantasy XIV celebrates Little Ladies’ Day, which in practical terms absolutely means people getting glowsticks to cheer for idols putting on a concert. Yes, it is a bit of a walk to get from “a holiday for young women” to that endpoint, but it happened. The latest outing is planned for Thursday, […]

Amidst all the drama surrounding Highguard, you could be forgiven for potentially forgetting that the game is actually… like… playable. You can play it right now. And while it’s promising another new game mode soon, the newest patch features a new base in the form of Cloudreach that allows both elevated nests for snipers to use […]

Robert Frost’s poem The Road Not Taken was published in August of 1915, and it has endured an immense popularity since then. Many people can quote the last couplet of the poem (“I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference”), and for years the title alone conjures images of […]

If you’ve been playing an MMORPG for long enough, you have hit that point before. Not the point wherein there is truly nothing to do in the game, but the point wherein you have accomplished all your goals, earned all your rewards, cleared everything you want. And so then you sit there, log into the game, […]

Mercenary Plate is just too darn good in Mortal Online 2. That isn’t intentional, but it is how things have shaken out, hence why the next patch that’s going into public testing on February 25th will involve stat normalization for plate armor. No one wants to pick armor that’s just not going to be good in […]

The moment I first saw Witchspire was a thing, I knew the exact people in my life for whom the title alone was an alluring promise. I’m not exaggerating with that; there are people who mean the world to me who are here precisely for big witch hats, witch cottages, and everything that goes along with endless […]

There are some very fun abilities to use in Warframe, but one of my favorite is Mesa’s fourth ability, Peacemaker. In a game full to the brim with guns, a Warframe has an ability that is just “draw more guns.” And it’s actually very useful, arguably up there with any other games the game has to […]

before we go any further, let’s establish some ground rules: the word I shouted was “fjord” I will not explain why I shouted “fjord” the questions about my t-shirt that says “fjord is a mating ritual for me” are all answered by the presence of my t-shirt and I will not answer further questions about […]

I’m not exactly surprising anyone when I say that we here on Massively Overpowered love us some Project Gorgon and we would love it even if it didn’t have a launch date, which it hasn’t for a long time… but it does now! January 28th is the official launch date for the game now, meaning that […]

While Square Enix still plans to make Final Fantasy XI’s Besieged monsters more difficult, there’s something it needs to do first: implement a new set of changes in the next version update. The developers say they are well aware that Besieged currently involves most players camping by the spawn points if they’re geared enough to […]

If you’d enjoyed running around on Ellan Vannin in a peaceful celebration, you’d better get ready for what Dark Age of Camelot has done to the region. That peace has been shattered and players are now faced with an open PvP zone flagging anyone not in your group as an enemy, complete with ruined towers for […]

So if you’ve somehow forgotten about Bless Unleashed, we don’t necessarily blame you. The original version of the game was Bless Online, which launched and then un-launched with shocking alacrity, followed by Bless Unleashed on consoles that later made its way to PCs. But the console version shut down, and the PC version kept going, and then it […]

A week ago, I was talking about Warframe’s Tauron Strikes and noted that they were, at the end of the day, a collection of Win More buttons. And this is something that I stand by: I think they come by that particular distinction honestly, since there needs to be both a reason to get them and […]

With early access fast approaching for Hytale, the game is soon going to be at a point where there is, in fact, a canon and absolute limit for the lore in the game. But before we hit that point, a new entry on the game’s official site takes fans through the team’s approach to lore within […]
