Yesterday, Rare patched in a new feature into Sea of Thieves that was designed to allay the rampant griefing going on within player crews. The new open and closed crew feature allows players to select between pugging and only grouping with friends. A good first step, we suppose, except that the studio had to take the system offline due to...
Although City of Heroes is not coming back (I think we all need to come to terms with that), many successors are waiting in the wings with their own vision of how a superhero MMO should be. Valiance Online, City of Titans, and Ship of Heroes all have claimed inspiration from City of Heroes and claim that they will be...
One month. Two million players. Three cheers for TERA! En Masse Entertainment certainly is crowing about its accomplishments this week after TERA’s console editions had crossed the two million player mark by the end of its first month. The launch on both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One looks to be a significant success for the studio, injecting new interest...

But what’s done is done, and now it’s up to you and 29 friends to try to make it work. This is the premise of Grimmwood, a social multiplayer RPG that works in elements...
The next set of quests for OrbusVR takes players up to the frozen wasteland known as the Necropolar. As you can probably imagine, it’s called that because it’s cold (hence polar) and people die there (hence necro). And players will find themselves getting a slow frost-damage debuff the longer they stay out in the open, although the debuff can be...

Last week the waters of Grim Dawn got even more treacherous, thanks to a patch that released a kraken god to harass players (and make life more fun). “Seek out Kra’vall the Ancient of the Waters within central Ugdenbog if you dare and earn new Monster Infrequents exclusive to this powerful foe,” the devs advised.

Hope you didn’t take off any time this week for the next phase of ArcheAge’s fresh start server, because Trion Worlds informed its players that it needs to hold back on this update until it figures out some issues with the help of XLGAMES. The delay should only be a day or so, the studio said. “We found that there...
When last we checked in with Tree of Savior, it was in the middle of a nine-week anniversary event with free DLC, quest, and gear – in fact, that event is technically still running for another week or two. In the meantime, IMCGames is promising “intense balancing changes” coming in the next update. First up? Healing. The current mechanics encouraged...
