Call me a softy, but I always cringe when I am sent in to slaughter the small, the fluffy, and the cute in MMOs. Sure, I’ll do it, because the quest log rules my life and removes all free will from my system, but I don’t have to feel good about it. In RIFT, there’s a special pet you can...

Call ’em golems, call ’em automatons, or call ’em war machines, at the end of the day, they’re robots in a fantasy setting, and we have to be OK with that. Actually more than OK, because robots are awesome and sometimes they go haywire and we get a valid excuse to go beat some up. This will happen next week...
Crowfall is ready to push its pre-alpha testing phase to the limit. A new dev video from ArtCraft this week shows off some of the new content in its 5.5 version, focusing on its new map, Wrath.

Brand-new content just opened up today in AQ3D, and Massively OP’s MJ is excited to jump in and show it off. But even cooler than that, you get to meet the mind behind the World Tree. MJ will be joined by Slifsgaard, the backer whose generous pledge and design ideas made this whole area possible! Oh, and Artix will be...
