A week full of patches and updates in MMORPGs

This week was relatively quiet in the MMORPGs. However, we show you all the known news of the week and what the big titles had to offer the fans throughout the week.

The highlights of the week:

• In Lost Ark, the big August update has finally been released. We have summarized all the information for you.
• Patch 6.2 has been released in Final Fantasy XIV, and while some players are just warming up to the island paradise, other fans are already through all the content and want more.
• On August 23, the Steam release of Guild Wars 2 took place. We looked at whether the fire of the MMORPG has been ignited because of this.
• Additionally, a new dungeon has been released in ESO. Our MMORPG author Mark Sellner had to be careful not to lose his soul in the “Lost Depths”.

The uproar of the week: In WoW, the auction house had issues, and many players lost their hard-earned gold because of it. One fan even goes as far as to claim that the economy of the MMORPG will take weeks to stabilize again.

The discussion of the week: Our MeinMMO author Cortyn took a closer look at the moods of the various races and found that Night Elves are the biggest crybabies in all of WoW.
