This week, an MMORPG has died, surviving only 7 months without even leaving the beta phase. Listen to the news of the week in the new episode of the MeinMMO Podcast.
These are our topics: The year 2021 claimed a new MMO victim last week. Magic Legends will be shut down in October, although it is still technically in beta.
Gamers are once again proving they can throw around a lot of cash. A Chinese player spent €18,400 on an E-Girl who was supposed to play LoL with him, and then sued her afterwards. In the Kickstarter MMO Star Citizen, another player spent a whopping $100,000 (about €84,550) on ships, simply because he wanted them.
There was drama and disputes in WoW over a loot item, where Blizzard stepped in directly, and in LoL, where a professional player was thrown out of a team again.

News from the editorial office – Move to Julep and vacation
What is important for you: In July, the MeinMMO Podcast will move to the new platform Julep. Therefore, you need to start using the new podcast feed from Julep for your apps right now. The old feed will no longer be updated after July.
If you follow us on a platform like iTunes or Spotify, you don’t have to do anything. The platforms will automatically switch to the new feed. It may take a little time. So please bear with us if the episodes appear a bit later.
Additionally, Leya will enjoy 3 weeks of vacation and relaxation in July. Therefore, she will not be present in some episodes of the podcast, but she will still personally say goodbye to you in this podcast.
