It appears someone is coming for Star Citizen's lunch! (2)
If I do download the demo later, I'll let you know - curious if anyone else has tried it.

Lord of the Rings Online is raising it's subscription prices substantially

Ginaz — Fri, 29 May 2026 03:29:55 +0000

In case anyone is thinking of re-subbing to LOTRO, the prices for the 3, 6 and 12 month VIP subs are going to increase by quite a bit soon. Beginning on 01 July, 2026, the 3 month sub is increasing from $29.97 USD to $41.94. The 6 month sub is increasing from $59.94 to $77.94. The 12 month sub is increasing from $99.99 to $143.88. The 1 month sub is staying the same price. To be fair, it's been a number of years since they've raised the price for VIP subs but this is a pretty hefty increase IMO.

I really like Hytale, but as it is only about 20% complete, I managed to blow through all the content.
Now, as a disgruntled middle-aged gamer with no-life, I've nothing left to do but torment people on the free forums.

Steam is removing developer's ability to lie about performance and hardware requirements.

Squadron 42 delayed until Q2 2027

FrodoFragins — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 20:21:48 +0000

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/en/comm-link/transmission/21301-Letter-From-The-Chairman

Which brings me to the last thing I wanted to touch on. Squadron 42's release.

At CitizenCon 2024 we announced we would ship in 2026. Our plan was to release in Q4 around IAE. But much like the rest of the industry there is no way I want to launch my spiritual successor to Wing Commander, a game that has had twelve years of blood, sweat and tears invested into it (we started Squadron 42 development in 2014 as 2013 was opening studios, hiring people and getting the Hangar module out for Star Citizen) launching into the attention buzz saw of GTA6. While GTA6 isn’t launching on PC this November, pretty much all outlets and most content creators will be all over it, not leaving a lot of room for other coverage.

We have taken a look at the release windows at the start of 2027, and decided that Q2 provides a better time for Squadron 42 to release.

We are allowing a small number of original backers and long-time Star Citizen content creators an opportunity to play Squadron 42 this October 9th and 10th. We’ll be making further announcements about our release plans during this time and a specific release date shortly afterwards.

I know a lot of you will be disappointed to not be playing Squadron 42 at the end of this year, but it is the best thing for the project as it is truly something special and so needs to the opportunity to have the focus of the wider gaming world.

How do you come up with a name for your MMORPG character and why that name?

Gorakkh — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 00:09:23 +0000

I've seen it all , name generators , stealing names from popular series , using names from more abstract and underground fantasy books / games / movies , creatively coming up with a name from your head , linking words such as SilverWind or MiniDragon , taking a popular name from a well established series and putting a twist of your own on it. So I'm curious to know what you the player go about your name and why you choose the name you do. Afterall to me atleast , the name of your character is somewhat of an important aspect of playing the game. It represents you as an individual and gives a layer of meaning to your character. It's also something your stuck with the whole time your playing and have to look at alot and not something that can usually be changed so the decision is a big one. I always have trouble coming up with a name that I can agree on for more than a couple weeks after using it. So how do you the player come up with a name and why that name?

ai and bot posts.

World of Sea Battle

Asheram — Sat, 30 May 2026 14:52:43 +0000

An age of sail f2p mmo that I am surprised has not been mentioned here. It is like Eve Online but with sailing ships, has decent graphics and mechanics, a player driven economy and not really that big of a grind if you only do the pve stuff and has a decent atmosphere to hang out in imo. It has been out in Russia since 2019 and released NA and EU servers last year October 2025. It is also on steam so no need to use a seperate launcher for access.

51 And Counting!

Scot — Sat, 19 Sep 2026 10:33:28 +0000

I just did something I rarely do, I counted all the games I have bought I have not played yet, its a mountain. Half in jest I recently said I would not buy another game until I had finished my current game. I may have to do this for real, that or draw up a will to pass my games on to! I am a completionist it is both a joy and a curse, so I can't see that I could change the way I game to speed things up.

EQLegends help needed

Kyleran — Sat, 19 Sep 2026 16:49:28 +0000

Apparently too many years of playing "easy mode" (aka user friendly) games has damaged me from quickly finding my groove in EQLegends

I never played EQ1 Classic and by the time I played EQ2 (around 2014) it was pretty WOW like, especially in terms of having a standard UI and in game mechanics.

I've restarted the tutorial 3-4 times now but always get bogged down with the many UI instructions the text boxes throw at me, especially those involving keyboard binds and macro shortcuts.

Just yesterday I was about to step into the world and decided to log out because I wasn't sure I was ready yet.

I remember when playing DAOC back in 2003 having similar struggles to learn / overcome but today most of the private servers have UI's that are far more intuitive than those early years.

To anyone who may also be struggling have you found any websites or perhaps even guides I could print out to study / reference at my side while playing?

Wouldn't mind recommendations on how to set up the UI more optimally as it is almost too flexible making it all a bit overwhelming.

Thanks in advance and please don't make too much fun of my incompetence, adapting to new UI's is one of my big stumbling blocks these days even when they are relatively simple or standardized.

No Man's Sky May of Hit the Sweet Spot

Wargfoot — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 02:18:24 +0000

I played this title a few years ago, but it didn't really click.
It seems the worlds are much more detailed and there seems to be quite a bit to keep one busy.

I like that there are other people around some, but not invading several planets I call home. I hadn't seen anyone until I visited the anomaly (a centralized lobby/mall for players to meet), but upon gating from there to home there were several player-built bases in the selection list. Other players are around, but they're not messing with my stuff, and resources to get started are plentiful - with lots of rare items to find and collect, but they're not getting in the way of my progress.

I've been planet hopping and I've found some very beautiful places. I had two 'paradise' planets in my starting system (out of 3) and I've found at least a dozen places that need some kind of base.

Best moments so far:

1: I'd set my mind to collect some resources, and I'd blown up several dozen of a particular rock. It was very mundane, but crafting games have a bit of that. However, at one point one of the rocks sprouted legs, got up, and ran away. I nearly jumped out of my chair.

2: I found a world that has giant rock squares - hallowed out in the center, spread about the ocean. Almost like a large, square castle wall but giant and rising out of the ocean. The perfect place to put a base.

3: One planet has a dozen eyeballs on stalks that pop out of the ground and attack. It is horrifying. They keep following!

4: I decided to take on some sentinels and that was a fun battle. I wasn't making much progress and first but then figured out they have healers! I took out about 5 of them, thinking the loot in the camp is now mine, but another wave showed up. Fine. When the 3rd wave appeared I knew it was time to get out of town, so I jumped into my ship and took off - but they sent an interceptor after me that beat the hell out of my ship. The ship only had the thinnest bar of integrity left - I did a quick land hoping they'd leave off. They did, so I saved the ship but I had some costly repairs.

Explore, gather resources, build, upgrade, follow a story, fight sentinels - nicely done Hello Games.
