One Shots: Poetry slam at the bear café

Maybe a poetry recitation is a pretty dull affair if you stumble into one at a coffeehouse in real life, but in Project Gorgon, it’s the social event of the week that draws all the partiers — and giant glowing green bears — to slam down some lyrics and boost some skills. There once was […]

The Daily Grind: Which MMORPG has the login music you like the least?

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 […]

Casually Classic: WoW Classic is all about the chill, not the thrill

In the Venn diagram comparing WoW Classic and Lord of the Rings Online, there’s a large overlapping section that simply says “chill gameplay.” And that’s probably why I appreciate both titles: because they feed that need I have to slow down, drink in the game world, and focus on a long leveling journey with no […]

The Daily Grind: Have you ever played a 2-D MMO?

If someone was keeping track of MMORPG gaming achievements that encompassed all of your online career, would you have earned that special award that said that you — yes you — had tried and played a 2-D MMO at some point in your life? There aren’t a lot of them out there, but it’s not […]

Fans and game devs debate Diablo II Resurrected’s recently added Warlock and its impact

You would think that adding an all-new class to an old game like Diablo II: Resurrected would be a happy event, but then you also likely have never experienced ARPG players in public forums and subreddits, who primarily appear to be the angriest of human calculators. That appears to be the case among players of the game, […]

Star Citizen discusses plans for variety and gameplay for industrialist gamers

It takes all kinds for internet spaceship sandboxes like Star Citizen to hum, and one of those kinds is the industrialist player: the rock cruncher, the space trucker, the material and manufacturing magnate. If you’ve felt as if this aspect of the game is lacking, then maybe some planned updates from CIG will ease your […]

Highguard promises a new game mode while showing off its new base and new cosmetics

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 […]

Well, too bad because you’re getting another one in Project Gorgon this weekend as the tiny crew at Elder Game is busy busy busy. “[W]e are once again looking at a weekend patch update, which sucks for everyone!

Vague Patch Notes: MMORPGs are less different than you think

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 […]

Massively on the Go: Pokemon GO inexplicably destabilized the Mega system ahead of the Kalos Tour

This weekend will be Pokemon Go local Kalos Tour, and as we mentioned in our prep guide, it hasn’t been looking good. We’ve been expecting a big announcement to drop right before the event, and we were right, but it’s not a great one. The problematic-since-release feature, which has seen some improvement, is taking another […]

The Daily Grind: What do you do in an MMORPG when you have nothing to do?

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, […]

Massively Overthinking: If you could delete one class or skill from your favorite MMORPG…

This week’s Massively Overthinking is inspired by a tweet I saw from SMITE, of all games, where the Hi-Rez devs asked players to propose one god to delete from the game. Obviously, this is not a serious proposition, but in the aggregate, the answers can kinda show a trend in what people are tired of, […]

First Impressions: Witchspire has charming visuals and promise, but the demo is a bit rough

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 […]

Horse mystery MMO Equinox Homecoming opens a free demo and adds controller support

Unless you’re on Instagram, you may have missed the news that Equinox Homecoming has launched a demo on Steam – we sure had, anyhow, before a reader tipped us off and we found the announcement buried on Reels, rather than on Steam itself or other social media. Perhaps by the time this post is live […]

MMO Hype Train: ArcheAge Chronicles, Chrono Odyssey, and dealing with MMORPG delays

We’ve all been there. You’re dragging yourself through another so-so gaming year, playing the same old titles, all while telling yourself that it’s about to get a lot more interesting, because a game you’ve been eyeing should come out before too long. And almost as if you jinxed a cosmic trickster, the next day you […]

Bungie delays Destiny 2’s next major update to June 9 for ‘large revisions’ and ‘sizeable’ QOL

If your first thought when hearing about Marathon’s March 5th release date was how that would immediately clash with Destiny 2’s plans for a major update for Renegades on March 3rd, well good news! It’s not going to get in the way anymore because Bungie is delaying that update for nearly four months. Wait, no, that’s the opposite of […]
