A nasty bug on EverQuest’s progression servers has kept players from completing an expansion boss for over a year now, with bug reports and complaints to Daybreak resulting in no action taken whatsoever. Whenever players engage the Rathe Council, a fight made up of 12 enemies, the mobs frequently despawn and respawn before the fight can be completed. Even worse,...
Crowdfunded indie PvP sandbox Albion Online officially launched last summer, finding so much initial success that its servers were hammered and it even suffered a round of extortion-centered DDOS attacks before settling into a scaled-down MMO live team and playerbase. So it always surprises me that the game never came to Steam, in spite of the fact that it was Greenlit on the platform four years ago. The...

This month’s developer question and answer video from the Crowfall team is full of exciting steps forward in the game’s history, starting with the upcoming debut of world clusters. World clusters allow the studio to take a bunch of campaign servers and group them under one (non-literal) umbrella. The first step from this is data transfer between maps and zones,...
The entire month of May has been claimed for TERA’s anniversary celebration. It’s too powerful to let the anniversary events end. So you’ll have to just start in on the second week of celebratory activities, starting with a mystery event teasing on May 9th and ongoing dungeon events. There’s also no shortage of events being run through the whole anniversary,...

The team at Ship of Heroes hinted at a test that sounds like it is going to involve a lot more players than have seen the game to date. The event itself, which will accept sign-ups, is just going...

The BBC has a piece out on a World of Warcraft player from Romania, Calin Mateias, who was apparently extradited to California, charged with conducting a denial of service attack on WoW’s servers back in 2010. He pleaded guilty to “causing damage to a protected computer,” will sit for a year in prison,...
Hope you’re ready for a combination of both nautical and amorous elements, because that’s what Chronicles of Elyria is dishing up for its “Kickstarterversary.” In other news, the English language just flipped over the table and stormed out of the room saying, “That’s it, I’m done with this foolishness.” For this month’s one-year anniversary of Chronicles of Elyria’s Kickstarter campaign,...
Will Warmind be enough to help Destiny 2 recapture the hearts and minds of Bungie fans? We don’t know the answer to that yet. But we do know Warmind is rolling out today all the same. As previously explained, the game’s second expansion includes the Mars polar ice cap locale, new armor and weapons including the new Valkrie relic weapon, the...
Some MMOs pump out an endless stream of previews for their big patches, especially the type that overhaul major game systems or balance combat, to the point that by the time the update hits, everybody has the bullet points memorized and we can type the post from memory. Guild Wars 2 hasn’t been one of those for the last few...
