| Posted: 24 Nov 2013 09:00 AM PST Filed under: Video, Game Mechanics, Opinion, Mobile, Rise and Shiny, Livestream, Sandbox, Crafting, Player-Generated Content, Buy-to-Play  Flash forward well past those betas and Minecraft has become an empire. There are Minecraft toys, clothing items, building sets, and all sorts of real-life tie-in merchandise. It's a popular game on both console and PC and has bridged the age gap between millions of gamers. But we don't talk much about it on Massively. Why? Well, it's not an MMO. Or is it?

| One Shots: Angmar, you're going down Posted: 24 Nov 2013 07:00 AM PST Filed under: Screenshots, Lord of the Rings Online, Culture, Star Trek Online, One Shots, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Final Fantasy XIV, Miscellaneous  Perhaps reader Michael18, who took this particular photo, can: "To celebrate the release of the Helm's Deep expansion, I send you some of my screenshots. I tried to capture the beauty of the old zones of Lord of the Rings Online like Angmar. With all the Rohan pictures to be seen on the web over the next couple of weeks, this might be a nice diversion." That's it, Angmar; you're going down. I'm going to get some flowers and go plant them all over your fields. Take that! Continue reading One Shots: Angmar, you're going down

| The Daily Grind: Do you like solo dungeons? Posted: 24 Nov 2013 05:00 AM PST Filed under: Culture, Opinion, The Daily Grind, Miscellaneous, Dungeons  Do you like this? I'm a fan not because I'm anti-social but because sometimes I want the dungeon experience without the hassle of a group finder or going at the team's pace. Hey, my dungeon runs have lots of breaks for alt-tabbing to see what's happening on Massively, so don't judge. Solo dungeons: Do you like them?  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!

| The Tattered Notebook: The EQN Landmark founders pack fallout Posted: 23 Nov 2013 03:00 PM PST Filed under: Fantasy, MMO Industry, News Items, Opinion, Free-to-Play, The Tattered Notebook, Promotions, EverQuest Next  That one little bit of intel set off quite a flurry of comments, from valid concerns to some head-scratching claims. Some folks had questions as to whether these packs have anything to do with EverQuest Next (they do not); there seems to be some overall confusion and misinformation mixed in among legitimate points and vitriol alike, so today I'm going to address some of the concerns that cropped up.

| The Mog Log: Lightning fizzles in FFXIV Posted: 23 Nov 2013 01:00 PM PST Filed under: Fantasy, Events (In-Game), Opinion, Consoles, The Mog Log, Subscription  Still, it matters only in the broadest sense; after all, most of the references packed in hearken back to the first game in the set, and I didn't need a pre-order to know that I wanted a gunblade. So I've been following along with Final Fantasy XIV's event and dutifully progressing along the quest chain for the week. But I wasn't terribly impressed all around. I think there were some very nice touches coupled with some really baffling decisions here and there, and the overall effect was rather lackluster. It isn't really the fault of the event so much as a problem with popularity. Continue reading The Mog Log: Lightning fizzles in FFXIV

| The Secret World adds remote banking and other vet rewards Posted: 23 Nov 2013 11:00 AM PST Filed under: Horror, Real-Life, Game Mechanics, MMO Industry, News Items, The Secret World, Buy-to-Play  All players also have access to a whole new category of store items called weapon moulds. Here, players can acquire reusable weapon skins. Veterans do, however, get an exclusive perk in the form of Venetian Exemptions. Coming in stacks of five for the cost of five Veteran Points, these remove the lockout timers on scenarios.
