Over the last week or so, ArenaNet has been teasing a series of icons that sure look to most of us like icons for new epic specializations. That’s a pretty big deal for Guild Wars 2 players if so; we haven’t had new elites since 2022’s End of Dragons expansion, just new and proliferated weapons. […]

A while back, we did a Daily Grind on MMOs that run on a potato. We’re flipping ye olde paradigm around today, however, and asking for the MMOs that cook your computer. Caveats apply, of course; I’m guessing most people reading an MMO blog in 2025 have a decent rig, and I know that MMOs […]

You know what’s a great reason to screenshot your MMO adventures? Because it encourages you to stop dashing to your next destination and slow down enough to take in the sights and process what you’re seeing. There are so many great and memorable visuals in MMOs, if only people would really look. That’s the service […]

Back in May, Project Ghost’s Greg Street got MMO players buzzing over the state of MMOs in the West vs. the East. That isn’t what we’re going to talk about today, though. I want to pull on a different thread. In the midst of that discussion, Street mentioned that in his new MMO, he is […]

Thirteen years ago today, The Secret World launched. Twelve years ago today, it began its first anniversary event, and I got to experience one of the most unique and memorable moments of my MMO career. When I think about what keeps me coming back to MMORPGs, this is a moment that is always top of […]

Guild Wars 2, what are you cooking up for us next expansion? The MMORPG’s social media posted some artwork on Monday of a lute, with the cryptic caption “15 days …” and followed it up two days later with a similar icon of a winged helmet, which bears more than a passing resemblance to the […]

What does salvation cost? Massively OP’s MJ is going to find out. Mabon is back — albeit in spirit form — and has enlightened the Guild Wars 2-sday crew on the story behind the titan in Bava Nisos. She needs to permanently shut the Mists gate permanently by releasing the souls of the three White […]

Back when the MMORPG genre was a more wild and wooly place, developers would let you fling your stat points into your character all willy-nilly with no warning or restraints. There are horror stories of what happened to some of those characters with borked stats, but none so terrifying as those who suffered permanent deformities […]

Let me take you back in time. It was the early 1990s, and videos games were super and rollerblades were so rad. A cute, bright-eyed boy spent hours upon hours in the local Pizza Hut. He wasn't there for the pizza, though, mind you. He was there for the arcade games. In small-town Texas, the […]

A few weeks back, I asked our readers how they manage their MMORPG alts (the joke being the LOTRO player who said “log out of one and log into the other”). But I want to jump off that discussion and into another one this week because the question assumed that you even have alts to […]
