SWG Legends is letting players demolish over 13K houses in latest pack-up event

People put a lot of effort into their MMORPG houses, but that only enhances the amusement when it's time for the community to blow them up, right?

WoW Factor: What's behind the turning of the tide in World of Warcraft's patch 9.1.5?

There's some interesting stuff going on right now when it comes to World of Warcraft's next major patch, due in no small part to the fact that it's clearly the patch all about pulling the ripcord. Indeed, it's a patch that is pulling that cord so hard that I suspect the cord is going to come […]

Book of Travels attributes its latest delay to an 'unholy trio' of bugs, promises a new early access launch date soon

When Book of Travels saw its early access release date pushed back a fourth time to date, there was perhaps some concern about just what is happening.

World of Warcraft patch 9.1.5 kicks off testing with a number of new customization options for Nightborne, Lightforged Draenei, and Void Elves

Playable Worlds' Raph Koster has all but said he's building a metaverse

If you've been listening to companies like Epic Games yammer about the "metaverse" over the last year and wondered whether it's all just a lot of simple tricks and nonsense, then you might want to read up, and who better to offer that reading than someone who actually built and ran one? That someone would […]

Wizard101 celebrates its 13th birthday with free gifts and zone samples

There's nothing that strikes as much fear and trepidation in the heart than seeing someone officially become a teenager, unless that newly minted teen has access to an unparalleled magical arsenal of destruction. Then it becomes a party! That's right: Wizard101 turned 13 years old this month, and KingsIsle is raring to celebrate. For the […]

Daybreak parent Enad Global 7 plans a Q&A presentation for next week

Hey, do you have questions for the owner of Daybreak Game Company and Standing Stone Games?

The Daily Grind: How long a commitment are you willing to make to an MMORPG?

During a MOP Podcast back in August, our own Justin noted that he'd lost interest in the Lord of the Rings Online Treebeard server because of the time commitment. Treebeard, you'll recall, is a server that's set up so that players level quite slowly and the patch rollout is slow too, such that it'll take […]

Massively Overthinking: MMO ideas that were ahead of their time

I'm gonna say something wild right now: In some ways, CliffyB was ahead of his time. My husband and I came to this realization a while back when he was trying to find a replacement for Overwatch and dipped his toe back into Paladins and Apex Legends. I was watching him play and realized that […]

ARK Survival Evolved made it to Google Stadia, counts 20M sales since 2015

It might almost seem an afterthought to put ARK Survival Evolved on Stadia at this late a date, given that ARK II is already under development and the original game isn't destined for any major upgrades in the future, but it's happening all the same. Studio Wildcard is putting the eternal-early access 2015 survival game into […]

Book of Travels devs discuss their Studio Ghibli and Baldur's Gate influences

At some point, developer Might & Delight should recognize that it's kind of repeating itself a bit.

Massively on the Go: Everything we learned from Pokemon Go's post-backlash Task Force

While Niantic already reverted its Pokemon GO gym and PokeStop nerf in late August, the company said that more changes would be announced on September 1st, along with the rest of the "Task Force" findings. Those changes had been shared, but now we have the reasoning too. While they make sense, they also suggest company was […]

DC Universe Online has opened a survey to judge how players are feeling about the game

Are you happy with DC Universe Online at the moment or unhappy with it? The developers want to hear from you, and they're using the time-honored method of putting the whole thing in a comprehensive survey for players to take right now if they're so inclined.

Vague Patch Notes: MMOs are useless, and that's completely fine

When you play an MMO, you are developing a skill. That skill is playing that MMO. It's not a skill with a great deal of lateral application. But it doesn't need to be. We were having an interesting discussion in the MasivelyOP offices at one point about hobbies and the things that qualify as hobbies… […]

World of Warships finally issues apology for August debacles, addresses communication and monetization

World of Warships has really not had the best run over the last couple of weeks. As our own WoWS expert Ben has been covering, August saw a mass-exodus of dedicated content creators from the game over what they characterized as abusive behavior toward influencers as well as problematic and aggressive monetization. Russian devs then […]

Blade & Soul opens up pre-download of its Unreal Engine 4 update on the game's launcher

Let's assume that you're a Blade & Soul fan who was sitting on your hands, not double-clicking the NC Launcher icon on your desktop until the game's big Unreal Engine 4 update launched on September 8th. That's totally fine, all things considered, since you might want to wait until the new update goes live. However, […]

Embers Adrift, formerly Saga of Lucimia, says it's raised enough money to launch

Stormhaven Studios has been relatively quiet this summer since announcing that it was rebranding Saga of Lucimia as Embers Adrift following the bizarre departure of the game's original founders earlier this year. But it's got a state of the game update this week with some extremely good news as the studio says it's now fully […]

World of Warcraft removes references to former employees and removes the AoE cap in patch 9.1.5

The most immediate fallout of the ongoing Activision-Blizzard lawsuit has been the removal of numerous references to now-former employees directly named or implicated in the suit, and the latest hotfix has removed a number of such references in World of Warcraft. Jonathan LeCraft, Jesse McCree, and Luis Barriga have had the vast majority of their […]

Dungeons and Dragons Online seeks out a new producer, improves its grouping tool

Seeing as how getting a producer has helped to kickstart communication and organization over at Lord of the Rings Online, SSG apparently figured that it was time to do the same for sister MMO Dungeons and Dragons Online. The studio posted a new help wanted ad for a DDO producer, saying, "The producer will primarily […]

The Daily Grind: Are there IPs you still want to see in MMO form despite failed projects?

My bitterness toward Jagex is entirely down to how the company handled its license to make a Transformers online game. Transformers Universe was first announced as an MMO set in one of the fictional universes for this property that I have a deep and inexplicable love for. Then it wasn't an MMO any more but a […]

Final Fantasy XIV shows you how to make its 8-year anniversary cake in painstaking detail

As part of the celebration for Final Fantasy XIV's eight-year celebration, celebrity baker Kim-Joy took the time to create an elaborate cake including cactuars, fat chocobos, spriggans, and even an appropriate moogle topper. It's quite the epic-looking cake. But if you want a slice of that cake, you'd be sadly out of luck… unless you're in […]

Pixel sandbox MMO RPG MO celebrates ninth birthday with a big ol' patch

Starbase's latest minor patch fixes crashing and crafting issues

Do you like approaching your own station in Starbase and being greeted by the calm, welcoming sound of the game crashing? The answer is "no" because no one likes that and it's not something that even was supposed to be happening. Fortunately, the most recent minor patch for the game fixes that particular crashing issue as […]

Trove's latest PC patch adds 'Depth Stepper' gates to elite delves

Gamigo has rolled out a fresh content patch for Trove, at least for PC. The studio's calling it the Depth Stepper update. What the heck is a Depth Stepper, and why is it so hard to pronounce? Well, we can't help with that second question, but as for the first, it turns out to be […]

World of Warships adds new Soviet ships and new Transformers skins to the game

The staff behind World of Warships is really hoping that you can be distracted from its ongoing community demolition effort with the prospect of new boats.
