Blizzard just added an amazing item for the 14th anniversary of World of Warcraft: the Overtuned Corgi Goggles. The description doesn't mess around, as they literally allow you to view the world as if it were inhabited by corgis. Here'...

10 years ago this very week, World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King expansion (its second) changed the entire MMO landscape. While Blizzard had already helped bolster the genre with World of Warcraft proper and the fantastic Burning Cru...

Final Fantasy XIV has been trucking along since 2013 (technically 2010 but we don't speak of that original version) and Square Enix seems to be pretty happy with it. Producer Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) and his team have been dropping major pat...

Well as it turns out: burning a World Tree in cold blood does pay off. Although the player base was on fire going into the launch of World of Warcraft's Battle for Azeroth expansion, Activision saw the green in the end. Speaking on an ...

Earlier this year we talked about the current leveling problem in World of Warcraft and Blizzard's vague promise to fix it. Go ahead and give the article a read so you're up to speed. You didn't, did you? To sum things up the powers th...

Last year when I attempted to ask the World of Warcraft team anything specific about Classic, they always steered me away with the same response: "we're trying to focus on Battle for Azeroth for now." They've maintained that ...

Without giving us a whole lot more info on patch 8.1 for World of Warcraft (Tides of Vengeance), Blizzard dropped a whole new cinematic on us. It's a short one and mostly deals with fan-favorite Saurfang, who will play a bigger pa...

[Update: Blizzard has confirmed that the demo will have a "60 minute cooldown timer." It's a tad confusing, but basically "If you play for 30 minutes and then log off for 60 minutes, when you come back you’ll have a fresh 60 minutes. ...

A lot of you might not care about this milestone even after I explain it, but I'm going to do it anyway. You're welcome. In 2012 World of Warcraft added a new race into the mix: the polarizing Pandaren, who were taken from Warcraft III and ...

RuneScape arrived at the exact right place and time for millions of people. As a free and easily accessible game, there were few real barriers to entry. It was a good starter MMO. If you had friends who were deep into RuneScape and they wan...

This time of year means a lot to a certain subset of the Final Fantasy fandom. Fifteen years ago from just about today, Final Fantasy XI released in North America. Approximately eight years later, Final Fantasy XIV released. About three yea...

The Elder Scrolls Online has carved out a nice niche for itself. After a tumultuous (but not disastrous) launch on PC, it picked itself up by its bootstraps, completely reinvented the way the leveling system worked, and somewhat pivoted its...

After hitting exalted with nearly every new reputation on both the Horde and Alliance sides in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, I've turned my attention to alts and race changes by way of the Allied Race system: a new concept introduc...

Just as Blizzard is cashing in on nostalgia with "WoW Classic," a re-creation of the original era of World of Warcraft, so too is the Lord of the Rings Online team working on a classic rendition of LOTRO. Dubbed "legendary servers," these s...
