Massively Overpowered

The Wandering Light Saga has been woven throughout this year, taking Massively OP’s MJ on a journey through the  den of evil for the AQ3D’s Hand of Mortis cult beside Sera Phimion. The two have been freeing Sera’s fallen sisters from Mortis’ grip and giving each of them the peace they were denied in undeath. […]

There’s a Reddit thread that caught my eye, but not necessarily for the reason that it maybe intended to. A team of folks making an “Ultima Online-inspired private shard” asked a simple but also bold question: “When you try a new sandbox MMO, what makes you stay beyond the first week?” Just on the face […]

The Halloween season is in full effect in Grand Theft Auto Online, as the multiplayer title has kicked off a whole bunch of events and bonuses that celebrate the spooktacular season all through the month of October, with lots of thematic activities that are sure to put you in the spirit of the season. Or at least […]

What do a dragon that gets stronger the more it eats, a three-headed dog that’s totally not Cerberus, and a dinosaur that got some TLC have in common? They’re the highlights for ARK: Survival Ascended’s suite of updates to the base game, the Dragontopia DLC, and the Fantastic Tames Season 1 DLC. So you’re getting triple […]

Just because the world ended doesn’t mean it can’t have a future. So sayeth Fallout 76, which put out a new multi-seasonal roadmap for the online RPG in its newest director’s letter. Bethesda seems focused on delivering major quarterly milestones to Fallout 76, which is currently focused on its Pint-Sized Slasher event that’s rampaging across […]

Have you kinda burnt out on Beastmaster already in Final Fantasy XIV? Do you find yourself in need of something to do? Well good news; very soon you’ll be able to tumble into the abyss! No, really, the collaboration event between Final Fantasy XIV and Fall Guys will return starting October 7th, giving everyone a chance to blunder […]

We absolutely appreciate how maintaining MMOs, MMORPGs, and multiplayer titles is not easy even at the best of times, but if your live service game just so happens to be pretty popular, the problems associated with that can multiply by massive amounts. So it appears to have been for ARC Raiders developer Embark Studios, as executive […]

Let’s be honest, calling an amusement park Pukaland might not sound all that inviting, but naming oddness aside, the in-game amusement park that was just added to gacha RPG Neverness to Everness does look pretty fun if a trailer is any indication. This newly opened location features a number of attractions for players to try out, all […]

If you happen to be absolutely flush with Old School RuneScape cash but weren’t able to buy some particularly high-priced item within the game’s Grand Exchange auction house, you were left at the mercy of using third-party sites or other outside means of making a trade that hopefully was above board. Those dark days are over […]

Training a puppy is hard, but just because that’s true in real life doesn’t mean that it also has to be true in Soulframe. Luckily, thanks to the multiplayer RPG’s most recent patch, the wolfpup that was added in the last major pre-alpha build can now be adjusted to be precisely the kind of doggie you want […]

Farever’s second major early access update landed with a trumpet blast of triumph this week, bringing more challenges and loot into this mini-MMO (is that what we’re calling it from now on? Can we start calling other games maxi-MMOs? We need a ruling on this!). Call to Glory brings a new heroic difficulty mode to […]

Blizzard seems quite determined to pique my interest with what’s going on with World of Warcraft Forever, and I’m not the only one. But things get particularly spicy with the rumors about a survey asking people to sound off on new potential classes coming to the alternate version of the game. This is, in fact, the […]

There’s a whole lot of stuff in Final Fantasy XI, even aside from all of the things that have been added to the game over the years when it has technically been in maintenance mode. But you don’t have to take our word for it; the game has a free trial you can play right now. “No, […]

Welcome back to yet another roundup of MMO and MMO-adjacent industry news! Want to hear about Discord ads? Maybe about rumors of Xbox planning to put itself on the market? We’ve got both of those major headlines and more, so let’s get in to another pile of games industry-related capitalist nonsense! It looks as if […]

Considering EverQuest announced its 2026 expansion earlier this week, reason would stand that its sequel EverQuest II would soon follow suit. And indeed it has, as the MMORPG’s producer’s letter has has taken the wraps off of the Descent to Val’zyroth expansion arriving sometime later this year. As the expack’s name suggests, players will be heading underground through […]

At long last, a fresh and crispy new season has landed to the multiplayer OARPG Last Epoch. Season 5: Rage of the Frostborn is officially live, with new mechanics, new encounters, more abilities, and a whole suite of other changes. A central feature of Season 5 is the Rage of Morditas random encounter, where players must slaughter […]

Today is the day for the old school-styled MMORPG Monsters & Memories to officially wade into the waters of early access as its next milestone of development since it was first unveiled back in 2021. And even before launch, it already was making something of a splash with its niche but dedicated playerbase. As we reported […]

Which classes should get the first spotlight in World of Warcraft Forever? All right, that’s an academic question, the first one was Paladin, but the developers are showing off more classes. There’s a whole page deep-diving into the changes for Druid and Hunter; the latter gets talents like Lone Wolf and new Survival melee options, while […]

I was talking with a friend recently about the reason why she didn’t play Warframe and I found it interesting. The thing that she didn’t care for about the game was, in fact, a core part of the game. Removing it would actively make the game worse. And she knew that; she wasn’t suggesting that the […]

Massively OP’s MJ is on a roll! She’s been making some headway on various quests — and she finally found Marna!! Of course she has also been cursed. Well, win some, lose some. To add to her wins, MJ plans to go spelunking in the cave under the red crystal. What will she find there, […]
