Welcome back to the MMO Friday Fight. This week, we have a battle for the ages: two of the most prolific MMOs of all time, Final Fantasy XIV and World of Warcraft go head to head.
Path of Exile 2 launched into Early Access today and Mitch has been putting it through its paces ahead to today's launch. Here is our thoughts on the game as it enters early access, and whether it's worth dropping your hard earned money on going into the weekend.
This week, Ship of Heroes has a dev update, Ember Sword talks about the struggles of making a Web3 MMO, and Corepunk launches into Early Access.
This week's MMO Friday Fight, Mitch talks about lore-based and real-world events in MMOs, and whether one is better than the other.
This week, Corepunk outlines Early Access updates, Eternal Tombs gives thanks, and Fractured Online goes free-to-play.
Black Friday is still a week away, but many outlets started their Pre-Black Friday sales weeks ago. We've combed through some of the best hardware, games, and accessories to gift to your favorite gamer, or just get yourself something nice this holiday.
For this week's Friday Fight, we are changing the format slightly. Mitch pits the three major monetization models against each other in a no-holds-barred cage match.
This week, Dragon and Home gets an update, BitCraft begins its Closed Alpha 3, and Corepunk refreshes its website ahead of Early Access.
This week's MMO Friday Fights, Mitch pits the heralded massive skill bars the MMO genre has become known for against the current trend we see in modern MMOs: limited action skill bars.
This week, Foxhole heads to the sky, BitCraft prepares for another test, and Haven & Hearth heads to Steam.
Every MMO has multiple classes to choose from when you want to primarily be a damage dealer. Ultimately, all of those classes can be filtered into two groups: melee and ranged. Which reigns supreme? Mitch finds out in this week's MMO Friday Fight.
Recently, Dungeons and Dragons Online got its first 64-bit server. Mitch took it for a spin to see if it solves some of DDO's lingering issues, and whether it is worth the VIP subscription price of admission.
This week, Embers Adrift temporarily goes free-to-play, Nightingale sees additional layoffs, and Ethyrial: Echoes of Yore has a new roadmap.
This week, Halloween events are everywhere, Ember Sword cancels their next Beta Test, and Fratcutred Online sets November 20th for its F2P launch.
This week, we're tossing a new pair of combatants into the ring: solo play vs. group play. It's the nature of MMOs for players to have to engage in both solo and group play, but which one is better?
