Love it or hate it, MMOs are going mobile in ever-increasing numbers. Last year saw a crop of acclaimed titles making their way to tablets and smartphones, including Old School RuneScape and Villagers and Heroes. While we’ve seen MMOs come to mobile in the past, it seems notable that 2018 was a year in which more and more people were recognizing that these games don’t have to sacrifice quality just to make a quick free-to-play buck. Well strap in for 2019 because we’re about to get flooded with many new games in the mobile space as well as developments on current titles. We’ll be greatly exceeding our typical 10 entries for today’s list in the hopes of covering most of the significant up-and-comers in mobile MMOs. Let’s get to it! AdventureQuest 3D: MJ’s favorite mobile MMO continues to cram in more classes, areas, and features as it aims for a full release. Mad World: This stylish grimdark 2-D cross-platform should be coming to mobile, but it … [Read more...] about Perfect Ten: Mobile MMOs to watch in 2018

Perfect Ten: How to find the right MMO for you
A common question that I see posited around forums and Reddit is, “What MMO should I play?” If there is a more loaded question than that in this community, I haven’t heard it. What is usually being asked, by both newcomers and long-time players, is, “What MMO is right for me that I haven’t played yet?” While I hear you and have been there, the truth is that there is no one universal answer to that question. There are just hundreds if not thousands of MMOs, big and small, out on the market, each with its own personality, feature set, and setting. Those have to be compared and matched up with the millions of people who all have their own unique preferences. It’s what makes recommending an MMO a difficult proposition. I’m game for difficult! Today’s list won’t be “10 MMOs that I think you should play” but a rundown of how to sort through the important categories that are out there in the hopes of finding the game … [Read more...] about Perfect Ten: How to find the right MMO for you
5 Best Tips to Train Your Herblore Skill in Old School Runescape
Herblore is a member’s only skill centered on herbs and the brewing of potions. As of this year, OSRS has around 47 different potions, all with different effects. At level 99, players are veritable masters of potion-making, and here’s how to reach that title. Eighty-seven attack potions will raise your Herblore from 3 to 15. Mix a guam leaf and eye of newt in a vial of water for 25 experience per potion. The method is likely to result in loss of gold but will take only about two minutes. At level 15, you may want to start making a hundred and twenty-seven strength potions. It will bring your level up to 26 and might take around five minutes. Each potion requires a vial of water, tarromin, and limpwurt root, and will give 50 experience. Alternatively, you may buy unfinished potions in the GE, which is faster and more convenient. However, this is expensive, so if you’re short on gold, be content with the vials of water. After making all those strength … [Read more...] about 5 Best Tips to Train Your Herblore Skill in Old School Runescape
MMO Week in Review: Star Trek Online is going free-to-play, again (May 6, 2018)
Support Massively OP on PatreonWere you too busy gaming this week to pay attention to MMO news? Get caught up every Sunday evening with Massively Overpowered’s Week in Review! There are hardly any proper MMORPGs that haven’t already seen at least one major business model shift over the years, and this week Star Trek Online announced its second: It’s going even more free-to-play, or maybe more buy-to-play, depending on how you look at it, as it’s trading its optional subscription away for an optional flat-fee buy-in. Meanwhile, we’re looking ahead to Guild Wars 2’s underwater update, watching players quibble over Elder Scrolls Online’s and Star Citizen’s business models, debating the state of modern MMO raiding, genuinely enjoying SWTOR’s latest update, being surprised that WoW’s doing so well, and mourning the impending loss of two PWE MMORPGs.

Perfect Ten: 20 upcoming MMOs to watch in 2018
It has become a long-standing tradition as Massively OP and our former site that we like to end the year by creating a list of titles that we anticipate for the coming one. It has always been a devilish list to create, full of loose dates and fast guesswork about which titles will and won’t be releasing during a 12-month window (just read last year’s list to see how spot-on I was). This year we’re changing things up a bit by tossing out the qualifying factor of “will see a hard launch in 2018.” Instead, I drafted up a list of 20 MMOs that have the potential to do or be really interesting next year, whether that be a launch, a long-anticipated beta test, or some other significant development. Plus, hey, you get 20 for the price of 10, so no complaining now! As an aside, this list isn’t going to cover some other exciting-looking multiplayer games that are arriving in 2018, like Anthem, Sea of Thieves, The Crew 2, Monster Hunter … [Read more...] about Perfect Ten: 20 upcoming MMOs to watch in 2018
