Sing it out everyone: All I want for Christmas is two more streams! Yes, we know what you really want (who needs front teeth anyways?), and The Stream Team is here to deliver. Don't look for us in a sky-bound sleigh, though; just keep your eye on Massively TV. That's where we'll help fulfill your fondest wishes for livestreams to enthrall and entertain you over the holidays... and to help take your mind off the fact that you got another package of underwear for Christmas instead of a new video card. Trust us, we understand, and we can make it better. So grab an eggnog, settle back, and enjoy the oodles of streaming goodness that is awaiting you this week.

      The Daily Grind: Will you be playing EQN Landmark next month?

      EQN Landmark girl
      Access to EverQuest Next Landmark is about a month away, according to a recent tweet by SOE CEO John Smedley. I'm kinda wondering where the time has gone, since it seems like last month that the company announced its next-gen sandbox and it seems like last week that it started talking up features and design decisions.

      I guess I need to see about getting some alpha access, and I'm interested to know how many of you have done or are planning to do the same. So there you go, today's Daily Grind: did you pre-order Landmark, and will you be playing it next month?

      Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!

        EVE Evolved: Unleash your inner space janitor

        Did you know that people leave perfectly good stuff just lying around in space? Between abandoned starbases, safespotted containers, floating wrecks, and lost drones, there's a real mess out there in space that somebody aught to clean the hell up. So why doesn't someone get out there with a dustpan and brush and vacuum up everything valuable that isn't bolted down? That's what I've been up to for the past week, and I've found it surprisingly enjoyable and profitable. Building on my recent article on staying safe in lowsec, I put together a strategic cruiser setup designed for rapidly searching through lowsec and nullsec for the goodies others leave behind or don't notice.

        What surprised me the most about my journey across the wilderness of nullsec is how many starbase owners allowed their towers to run out of fuel and shut down. Using just the directional scanner, I was able to locate and destroy dozens of unprotected starbase structures, including research labs, ship hangars, corp hangar arrays, and factories. The main target of my exploration escapades was actually the new Ghost Sites introduced in Rubicon, which spawn randomly throughout space and usually end up migrating to systems that aren't frequently used. The ISK per hour may not be very good in hunting these sites, but the payoff of finding the rare Ascendancy Omega blueprint would make it all worthwhile.

        In this week's EVE Evolved, I delve into the wonderful world of interstellar trash reclamation and asset liberation. I explain how to find abandoned starbases to loot, and I share some tips on locating and tackling the elusive Ghost Sites.

          MMO Week in Review: One last WAAAGH!

          Posted: 22 Dec 2013 01:00 PM PST

          Filed under: , , ,

          At the end of every week, we round up the best and most popular news stories, exclusive features, and insightful columns published on Massively and then present them all in one convenient place. If you missed a big MMO or WoW Insider story last week, you've come to the right post.

          This week, Warhammer Online formally closed its doors, making official a studio-inflicted death destined for years and deeply disappointing returning fans. Happy Christmas to you from EA! At least December is a happy time in many other MMOs; expect snow, elves, pine trees, Santas, and all sorts of winter festivities crammed into online fantasy/sci-fi worlds where they don't belong.

          Read on for a look at the rest of this week's top MMO stories and have a safe and game-filled holiday.
