BitCraft is a new game in development that aims to combine different genres. Primarily, it is an MMORPG, but it wants to incorporate elements from survival, building, and strategy games. Visually, it is reminiscent of the popular Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
What kind of game is this exactly? In BitCraft, you start as a being imbued with a mystical power. However, you will have to gradually acquire its special abilities. Overall, the game places a strong emphasis on sandbox elements and cooperation between players:
There are no fixed classes and no character levels. Instead, you improve individual skills and disciplines. For example, you will be displayed as “Level 34 Woodcutter” instead of as a character with level 34.
The focus of the MMORPG is on PvE. Outside of towns, you should explore the wilderness to find materials and lost technologies. Discovery plays an important role.
Crafting is expected to offer various disciplines, including farming, fishing, mining, lumberjacking, hunting, cooking, blacksmithing, and leatherworking.
There will be timegates in crafting, but they should feel realistic, such as watching a grain grow. Here it would be unrealistic if players could harvest it immediately.
All players will play together on one server. The servers are expected to be able to continually generate new pieces of the world as more players join, similar to Minecraft.
Only through cooperation will players be able to master huge projects, such as building cities. For cities, the guilds that claim a land will determine who can build and who cannot. Multiple cities will also be able to form alliances.
PvP battles are not planned for the moment, but they are not ruled out either.
Visually, BitCraft is somewhat reminiscent of Breath of the Wild and Genshin Impact. The game is also expected to offer movement options such as climbing and swimming. In this trailer, you can watch first gameplay from 2021:

BitCraft – Announcement Trailer
Test in November focuses on new movement and farming
What is currently happening with BitCraft? From November 18 to 20, a pre-alpha test will take place. New players are to be invited who have not had the chance to try BitCraft yet.
A completely new movement system, new world content, and an initial version of farming will be tested. Additionally, players will be able to build their own boats for the first time. Adjustments to fishing and hunting, which were present in a previous test, will also be made.
However, the developers emphasize that this is a pre-alpha and that there will be many unfinished contents and bugs.
How can you participate in the alpha? On the official website, you can sign up with your email and hope for an invitation. However, players who actively contribute in Discord and who participated in the last event are mainly expected to be invited for this test.
Every invited player, however, will receive a key for a friend, which significantly increases the number of testers overall.
On Twitter, the developers constantly share small snippets about their game, including this lovely picnic blanket that players can spread out:

When is BitCraft supposed to be released? As the MMORPG is still in a pre-alpha phase, the release will take a few more years. The developers from Clockwork Labs in America have not yet provided a time frame.
However, they have revealed that BitCraft will first be released for PC, but later will become a cross-platform game.
What funding model does the game use? There is no final statement. However, the initial entry is expected to be free, as BitCraft aims to target a large community. Many indications suggest a free-to-play model with a shop.
In 2022, 8 new MMORPGs were released, by the way. Which ones they are and how they are doing now, we reveal here:
The Rocket Event in Pokémon GO starts at midnight. We will show you all the bonuses and content that await you during the Rocket takeover.
What kind of event is this? Niantic regularly holds events where the villains of Team GO Rocket come into focus. You will encounter them more frequently, the rewards may change, and new Shadow Pokémon will be activated.
The next Rocket Event starts on Monday, November 14th. In this overview, we will show you the most important details you need to know for the event.

In the upcoming WoW expansion Dragonflight, you will meet an old acquaintance – one you saved an eternity ago.
On the Dragon Isles of World of Warcraft, all the great heroes will soon gather, but a whole series of smaller and lesser-known personalities are also drawn to this place. In doing so, you not only meet new acquaintances, but also many old characters that you may not have seen for almost two decades. Also present is Naralex, one of the biggest sleepyheads of World of Warcraft.
Who is Naralex? Especially Horde players who have been around since “Vanilla” will surely recognize this name. In case you don’t remember, here are two small hints: The Barrens, the Caves of Wailing.
Back then, Naralex was a night elf druid who wanted to explore the Caves of Wailing and the strange natural phenomena there together with some students. However, his students became the notorious “Druids of the Claw,” whom you had to fight in the dungeon, as they were corrupted by the nightmare.

Naralex himself could be found in the last area of the dungeon, where he slept on a stone, still trapped in the world of the nightmare. In the final battle, you had to protect his body against approaching enemies.
Ultimately, Naralex was rescued by the heroes and later appeared in “Cataclysm.” Because of Deathwing’s devastation of the world, there were strange overgrowths in parts of the Barrens that had to be contained.
Where can you find Naralex in Dragonflight? To the joy of all druids, Naralex apparently has not gone back to sleep in the meantime. You can find him in the “Academy of Algeth’ar” – one of the new dungeons of Dragonflight and a place where dragons increase and pass on their knowledge. Although it is a dungeon, there are not only enemies but also many friendly NPCs – and among them is indeed Naralex.

You can find the night elf druid with the green dragon lady Ochresera, who holds the title “Teacher of Oneiromancy” – that is, the study of dream interpretation. It seems that Naralex has not yet fully overcome his experiences in the nightmare and is still trying to recognize what was actually shown to him there. Perhaps a hint that we will come into contact with the nightmare and the Old Gods again – after all, they created the nightmare.
Some job quests in Final Fantasy XIV have very good stories. For lore fans, it’s worth playing them, even if they’re not actually interested in the jobs.
These are the quests: The main story of FFXIV is loved by many fans of the MMORPG, but there are also a whole number of side quests that are worthwhile. This includes the quest lines for the fighter and mage jobs that players must undertake during the leveling process to unlock new abilities.
Players who enjoy exciting stories and deep insights into the lore of FFXIV should not miss these quests. They are worth it, even if one actually has no desire to actively play the respective jobs. In that case, classes and later jobs can be leveled through the Palace of the Dead or through the main scenario dailies.
In this list, I have gathered individual jobs from different roles whose stories are particularly good. The descriptions of the quests have been kept as spoiler-free and vague as possible.
The Dark Knight is one of the most popular job quests in the FFXIV community. Shortly after the release of the Heavensward expansion, which introduced this tank, the first reddit threads and social media posts praising the story of the quests quickly emerged.
Even 7 years later, with the release of a total of 6 new jobs, the Dark Knight has managed to maintain its place at the top. On the one hand, the story once again shows the ugly face of Ishgard, while on the other hand, it reveals what it really means to be “the Warrior of Light.”
Written by the popular developer Natsuko Ishikawa, it presents players with difficult philosophical and moral questions that they must answer for themselves.
Scholar
One of the job-specific armors of the Scholar
The story quests of the Scholars will bring a lot of joy to fans of FFXIV lore. They touch on the history of the fallen nation of Nym and are closely connected to the dungeon “Palace of the Wanderer.”
Since the individual sections of the job quests in FFXIV are divided into levels, the quality of the Scholar quests varies somewhat between expansions. The beginning is a bit slow, but by level 35-40, the story picks up pace.
If you’re not interested in healers or are hesitant to play a healer job, you can instead level the DPS Summoner. It and Scholar share the levels. So you can play the quests without having ever entered a dungeon with the Scholar (and the story of the Summoner is also not bad).
Samurai
One of the job-specific armors of the Samurai
Samurai was one of the two DPS jobs that came with the Stormblood expansion to FFXIV. The job originates from the nation of Hingashi, which is still closed and cannot be entered by players.
Therefore, the job quests provide some informational and lore snippets that reveal more about Hingashi and its only trading port city, Kugane.
The best part of the quest, however, revolves around the personal story of a lonely old Samurai master. He travels to Eorzea and takes the player character as his new student. In my opinion, the story delivered one of the best plot twists of all job quests next to the Dark Knight.
Astrologian
One of the job-specific armors of the Astrologian
The announcement of the city of Sharlayan in the Endwalker expansion was celebrated by many fans of FFXIV lore. The influence of this nation has been woven throughout the complete story of the MMORPG, and now one could finally enter the area on their own.
However, more information about Sharlayan was already given in the Heavensward expansion. The quests of the healer Astrologian provided an earlier insight into the rather modest mentality of the ruling classes of the nation, which is still relevant in Endwalker.
Additionally, the Astrologian quests bring a ton of lore facts about the celestial bodies in FFXIV and their connection to the 12 gods, who play an important role in the new 24-man raid.
In the Shadowbringers expansion, the job quests were changed.
Starting from Shadowbringers, the classic job quests are gone and are replaced by role quests that are the same for all jobs of a role. They are divided into tank, healer, magical DPS, physical DPS, and later from Endwalker also into physical melee and ranged combatants.
While the job quests were rather modest in many cases (I’m looking at you, Paladin), the role quests are only, with a few exceptions, great. I would recommend everyone to level at least one job from each role so you can experience these stories.
As a bonus, there are special side quests for completing all role quests in Shadowbringers and later also in Endwalker, which drop additional lore bombs. So if you’re looking for new story content, you don’t have to wait until the next update. Try out these quests.
Have you played these quests yet? How did you find them? And what are your personal favorites among the job and role quests? Let us know in the comments.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 fundamentally changes the familiar Warzone experience and brings new features to the game. MeinMMO author Maik Schneider celebrates many changes, but also fears being yelled at by strangers on the battlefield.
The first Warzone was my gaming highlight of 2020. By far. Finally, a battle royale that I enjoyed and I already knew the weapons and mechanics from CoD MW 2019. I can’t say for sure if my free time back then would have been different without the lockdown.
Accordingly, my expectations for Call of Duty: Warzone 2, which launches on November 16 are high. A teammate from the old crew is even coming over on the first release weekend to consume an unhealthy amount of shooter content.
Looking at the new features and changes compared to the first Warzone, two things particularly caught my eye that could create a very special dynamic. But it also scares me a little because I know how some players behave in the Call of Duty chat.
I’m talking about proximity chat and the new “interrogations”.

CoD: Warzone 2.0 will be bigger and better – But there’s one thing you have to give up
This feature isn’t new but has recently made a small comeback. MMORPGs like New World and Mortal Online use it – I know it from Killzone 3 from 2011, back on the PS3.
The second feature is “interrogations”. If I knock out an enemy, I can approach them and start the interrogation. This briefly pings the remaining players to me and allows me to see them on the mini-map.
I’ll include a short video with Shroud, who was able to test the mechanic at a CoD event:

What is the problem? In itself, the mechanics are good additions. But when I think about what happens when the two things collide… it makes me a little uneasy.
Call of Duty has always played with chat – the “Death Coms” are still a highlight feature today. This allows you to briefly hear the enemy in multiplayer after you’ve killed them.
However, if the enemy is sitting right in front of me and yelling at me because they take the interrogation a little too literally, then I’m already scared about what might be thrown at me.
Overall, I’m still very excited and happy that Warzone is becoming a bit more “personal”. I find such social elements very important, even in shooter games.
With Dragonflight, World of Warcraft receives a wealth of new features, some of which are already playable in the Pre-Patch 10.0. MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus is fully satisfied and having more fun than ever. But one tiny detail annoys him immensely.
I’m really looking forward to Dragonflight. Since the Pre-Patch, playing has been fun again. After 6 years, a new class, the Evoker, is finally coming, talents are returning, and many old systems are being fundamentally overhauled.
Things that I used to have to manage with multiple add-ons now work fine without them and even better, I think. It no longer looks fragmented but rather harmonious. Just this detail ensures that I’m having more fun again playing my classes.
So what bothers me? An element that is quite important has been fixed by Blizzard, and in the dumbest spot possible. The experience bar is stuck at the bottom of the screen and can’t be moved.
No matter what settings I try: without add-ons, the bar stays where it is. And add-ons like Dominos don’t work properly with the new UI anymore. So when I want to play in my ideal interface that I’ve built up over years, my abilities now cover most of the bar.
Everything can be moved – except the EXP bar at the bottom. That’s annoying.
This is not only unsightly but also incredibly impractical. Checking how long I have until the next level takes a good bit longer and is more irritating.
This was particularly annoying for me when leveling my alt characters. Right now there are such strong XP bonuses, that you reach level 50 in 4 hours. I did this with the classes that I still needed – but also with this annoying detail.
I’m not the only one annoyed by this. Many players had problems with the new UI even in beta and complaints about the feature have been coming in since the release of 10.0, even though it’s actually a long-overdue change.
By the way, I also contributed to the new GameStar special issue on Dragonflight. You can pre-order it here:
Leveling quickly is great, but the EXP bar gnaws at the thoughts
I wanted to use the preparation for Dragonflight to take a look at all the other classes that I still need at level 60. The new talent trees for all classes look super interesting, and I want to orient myself a bit anew.
3 Minuten Gameplay zu Rufer, der neuen Klasse in WoW Dragonflight
Constantly staring at that little spot between the bars to find the EXP bar is always a moment that literally spoils the excitement for me. It’s not something that makes me stop playing WoW, but …
Well, imagine eating a delicious cake, but with every bite a fly lands right next to your left nostril. Every. Time. With the whole cake. That’s how I feel when I want to check how long it takes until my level-up.
Fortunately, the bar disappears at max level anyway. So I won’t have to worry about it for too long. And by the release of Dragonflight, maybe Blizzard will also introduce an option to move the bar. Otherwise, I might have to build a new UI…
In our comprehensive article, you will find everything you need to know about Dragonflight:
The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online has received 36 updates so far. With Update 26 Greymoor, in addition to the regular item sets, which have between 2 – 5 pieces, there are also so-called mythic items. In this guide, we will give you an overview of how to obtain your desired mythic item.
In ESO, item sets (sets for weapons, equipment, and jewelry) are distinguished by their locations or whether they are craftable. Additionally, you need different numbers of items to unlock the final effect of the set. The number varies between 2 and 5 pieces.
[toc]
Since Update 26 Greymoor, there is another form of item sets, the mythic items, or also: “Mythic Items”. These are one-piece sets, which can consist of either one piece of equipment or one jewelry piece.
How to Activate the Skill Lines “Scouting” and “Excavation”
How do I obtain “Mythic Items”? These items are obtained from the antiquities system. To unlock this, you must first travel to Western Skyrim to Solitude. In the southeastern part of the city, you will find the Antiquarian Circle. Once you enter the building, you can see the quest arrow above the NPC Verita Numida.
Here you can find the Antiquarian Circle in Solitude.
Talk to the NPC Verita Numida at the Antiquarian Circle in Solitude. You will then receive a quest that you must complete. The quest will also give you an introduction to the antiquities system of ESO. You will receive the skill lines “Scouting” and “Excavation” as soon as you complete the quest.
To obtain the mythic items, you need to level the two acquired skill lines. For the mythic items themselves, you need 5 traces, which you will first need to scout and then excavate. When scouting, you need the passive ability “Antiquarian’s Insight” to find the excavation site.
For the excavation itself, you do not need a minimum level, but the difficulty varies greatly with the activation of some passive abilities. Therefore, it is really advisable to invest some effort and gathered skill points there.
But that’s not all. Because the necessary 5 traces, which vary specifically from item to item, may require some more patience on your part. Where you can find the respective traces will be explained in the next section.
Set Effects of Mythic Items at a Glance
Unlike regular item sets, mythic items activate their bonus when wearing just a single piece. Compared to other armor, they are particularly strong for this reason. You can equip no more than one mythic item.
Mythic Item
Set Effect
Left-Hander’s Girdle
Dodging rolls no longer avoid damage from attacks, but you receive a damage shield that absorbs up to 20,990 damage for 1 second. “Fighting Spirit” has no effect on this damage shield.
Belharza’s Band
Increases the damage of your light attacks by 900. If you deal damage with consecutive light attacks, you gain up to 5 stacks of Belharza’s Madness for 10 seconds. If you perform a heavy attack at maximum strength, it consumes all stacks and deals 1,471 physical damage to all enemies in a line for each stack for 1 second. If all 5 stacks are used up, they will stun targets for an additional 3 seconds. This effect can occur once every 10 seconds and scales with your highest between Magicka or Weapon Power.
Dov-rha Boots
While sprinting, you gain one of up to 20 stacks of draconic scales every 0.5 seconds, granting you 660 armor. When you stop sprinting, you deal 152 physical damage for each stack to targets within 8 meters, gain a damage shield equal to the damage dealt, and retain draconic scales for 10 seconds, but do not gain new stacks. At 20 stacks, targets are also stunned for 3 seconds. Damage scales with your physical or spell resistance, depending on which is higher.
While equipped, you cannot switch between your primary and secondary weapons. You gain minor Berserk, minor Courage, major Brutality, major Sorcery, major Prophecy, major Savagery, minor Power, minor Protection, major Resolve, minor Care, minor Valor, minor Intelligence, minor Stamina Recovery, minor Heroism, minor Slaughter, minor Aegis, and Empowering.
Fate of the Reaper
If you continuously sprint for 1 second, you gain the ability to traverse through enemies. Enemies you pass through are enchanted for 4 seconds, removing their ability to attack or use skills while moving towards you. Enchanting an enemy this way grants you 678 Stamina, restores 692 Health, and breaks your invisibility.
Feast of the Deadbringer
In combat, you receive a stacking feast every 2 seconds, up to 30 stacks. Each stack increases your maximum Stamina, maximum Health, and maximum Magicka by 88. Every 4 seconds you are out of combat, you lose one stack of the stacking feast.
Chain of the Shapeshifter
Reduces the cost of your ultimate transformation abilities by 15%. While transformed, your maximum Health, maximum Stamina, and maximum Magicka are increased by 1,707.
Malacath’s Band of Brutality
Increases your damage dealt by 16%, but reduces your critical damage by 50%.
Markyn Ring of Eminence
Grants you 100 Magicka and Weapon Power and 1,157 Armor for every set you wear at least 3 pieces from.
Mora’s Whisper
Grants you a value of up to 1,528 for critical hits and allows you to gain 10% more progress on crafting, Alliance Ranks, Alliance War skills, and 15% more experience when killing NPCs. The actual values depend on how filled Shalidor’s library is for you.
Ehlnofey’s Pearls
When you use resources to perform a healing ability and are in combat while your main resource is below 30%, you gain 5 ultimate power.
Ring of the Wild Hunt
Increases your movement speed in combat by 15% and outside of combat by 45%.
Ring of the Faded Order
You heal for 20% of the damage you deal. This value decreases by 4% for every ally in your group. You may only be healed by yourself.
Snow Treader
While in combat, you are immune to slowing and immobilization effects that can be removed, but you cannot sprint.
Shoulder Pads of Doom
When you begin sneaking, it grants you a 12-meter aura of pride or removes it. Up to 6 allies in it gain 260 Magicka and Weapon Power. For each ally affected by the aura, your Health, Magicka, and Stamina regeneration is reduced by 70.
Sithis’ Sight
Grants 3,276 maximum Health, 1,025 Health regeneration, 4,000 Armor, and reduces your block mitigation to 0.
Stormweaver’s Wrath
Grants 300 Magicka regeneration. Sprinting, dodging, heavy attacks, break free, sneaking, and blocking now consume Magicka instead of Stamina. You do not regenerate Magicka while blocking, sneaking, or sprinting. You regenerate Stamina while sneaking, blocking, and sprinting.
Syrabann’s Protection
While you are wielding, you cannot move. Wielding creates a 12 meter area of protection. Allies within this area have their block mitigation increased by 30% and their Health regeneration by 950. (The block mitigation and Health regeneration only apply to allies, not the bearer of the set. If you combine “Shield Wall” with this effect, you will not be able to move while the ultimate ability is active.)
Thrasian Chokers
If you kill an enemy, you gain 1 hour of up to 50 lasting stacks of Kraken’s Call. Each stack increases your Magicka and Weapon Power by 23, reduces your maximum Health by 120, and decreases the effectiveness of your damage shields by 1%. Kraken’s Call is removed if you unequip the Thrasian Chokers, become invisible, or sneak.
Torques of Resonance
If you have less than 50% Stamina, your Magicka regeneration is increased by 450. If you have less than 50% Magicka, your Stamina regeneration is increased by 450.
Embrace of the Blood Prince
If you deal damage with a heavy attack, an enemy is affected by a lingering, unremovable Blood Curse. There can only be one enemy with Blood Curse at a time. If you deal further heavy damage, the Blood Curse transfers. If you block an attack from an enemy with Blood Curse, you restore 1,605 Magicka. This effect can occur once every second.
Harpooner’s Watkilt
If you deal direct damage, you gain a stacking Hunter’s Focus for 1 minute, up to 10 stacks. You can only gain one stack per second, and each increases your critical hit rating by 125 and your critical damage by 1%. If you take direct damage, 5 stacks are removed once per second. If you unequip the Harpooner’s Watkilt, all stacks are lost.
Serpent’s Wrap
As long as you have full Health, you gain 40% damage reduction. If you take damage while at full Health in combat, you gain Snake’s Wrath for 10 seconds, slowing you down by 40% while granting major Berserk and major Courage, which increases your damage dealt by 10% and your Magicka & Weapon Power by 430. The damage resistance does not apply while Snake’s Wrath is active.

Scavengers is a shooter that offered a mix of PvE, sandbox, and classic survival shooter elements. It was released on May 1, 2021, in Early Access on Steam and Epic Games. In May 2022, it was announced that the game would be put into maintenance mode. It is now confirmed: it’s all over in December.
What is so special about the game? Scavengers was supposed to be the new flagship game for the technology “SpatialOS”. This technology was meant to revolutionize the MMO genre because it allowed the shooter to send 9,000 players into battle simultaneously. This could have enabled new world records.
How did it go for the MMO Scavengers? Right from the launch of Early Access, the “Massive” aspect was abandoned. In the largest matches, only 60 players compete simultaneously in three different teams.
The basic principle is reminiscent of Fortnite or other battle royales, where the winning team is not the last survivor but the one that scores the most points. For these points, you could also complete many PvE challenges, including battling tough bosses.
You had pre-made characters available, from which you could choose one per match.
What will happen to SpatialOS? Improbable, the company behind the wonder technology, has found a new focus away from traditional gaming.
They are now focusing on the “metaverse” as a new business field. Their project is supposed to be able to represent up to 10,000 players simultaneously to allow events or announcements to take place in a virtual world.
Everything that does not serve the metaverse is no longer the focus of the company, explains the CEO Herman Narula.
A new MMORPG has been released on Steam with Chainmonsters, which is heavily inspired by Pokémon. You catch, train, and battle with monsters while facing PvE and PvP challenges. Highlights include dungeons and raids that can only be conquered with other players. If you want, you can even test it for free right now.
However, it promises an even greater focus on cooperative gameplay.
You follow a story told through quests. These quests are meant to be completed together with friends.
At launch, there should be over 135 different monsters with various types and abilities.
The combat system is turn-based, featuring combo and chain attacks to add more strategy. You can also battle in 2v2.
A dynamic weather system is supposed to influence the environment and the monsters in the world, as well as abilities.
There will be dungeons, raids, and special boss events that can only be tackled as a group.
There will be housing in the form of your own island. There, you can build crafting stations and your own houses.
Thanks to blockchain technology, all monsters, items, and cosmetics will truly belong to you. They should be tradable both in-game and outside of the game.
Chainmonsters is set to launch in Early Access on Steam and on Android and iOS in 2023. Cross-play and a console version are planned. The MMORPG will be free-to-play.
You can check out the first gameplay in this trailer:

Chainmonsters – Beta Trailer
German developer raises 108,000 euros on Kickstarter and launches free demo
Who is developing the game? Chainmonsters is being developed by B-Side Games, an indie studio. They managed to raise 108,765 euros for their project via Kickstarter (via Kickstarter). Interestingly, the studio is based in Hamburg.
What kind of demo is this? The demo on Steam is free, and anyone can simply download the game. The download size is around 2 GB.
In the game, there is an initial area that you can explore. You can encounter 36 Chainmonsters, several NPCs, a shop to buy replicators (for “catching” the monsters), and the ability to battle other trainers.
First images we captured in the demo from battle and the shop.
The demo version is very rudimentary but shows the direction the MMORPG wants to take. There are quests, and you can interact with the environment. For instance, there are plants to collect or crates that you can open to find money inside.
Somewhat unusual is the combat system, as you need to drag the abilities onto the opponents when you want to use them. This function should be quite useful on the smartphone, though.
Otherwise, not much can be concluded from the demo yet. Too many elements are still missing. It’s funny that some texts in the game are defaulted to German. This may confuse the international audience a bit.
What do you think about Chainmonsters? Is such a game needed right now, or are you content with classic Pokémon? And what does Chainmonsters need from your perspective to be truly successful?
Just in August, a Pokémon MMORPG had to halt its development because they ran out of money:
In Destiny there were many items that players could farm, buy, and use. However, one item was so powerful and popular that every Guardian used it. It’s about the legendary Three of Coins. What this item is, why it was so popular, and why it was banned, you will find out here.
What are Three of Coins? The “Three of Coins” is not about actual coins, but about a black token with a white symbol. This token was considered a rare consumable and could only be purchased from Xur, the mysterious vendor.
As unassuming as the item may have appeared, the effect of the Three of Coins was unparalleled and especially popular in the community among the unlucky ones of RNG. When used, your chance of getting an exotic engram was greatly increased when you had defeated a boss or completed a Crucible match.
Due to this fact, the age of effective and efficient farming of Exotics broke out in Destiny 1.
Farming with the Three of Coins was fun
Before the implementation of the Three of Coins in Destiny 1, all Guardians were dependent on their luck. Either the RNG gods favored you, or you faced a months-long drought filled with blue and purple engrams.
Exotics were still scarce at that time, and when one was obtained, it was celebrated in the clan. However, with the dubious item from the DLC “The Taken King,” this was supposed to change.
Especially yellow engrams were eagerly hunted by Guardians
Players then had luck on their side, and new feelings began to blossom in the hearts of the Guardians: joy and hope.
It was simply fun to earn many strange coins for Xur during the week, only to exchange them for a huge stack of Three of Coins. This way, one could independently counteract the poor drop rates of Exotics.
With a large stack of black tokens, one would choose the nearest Strike, mission, or even a Crucible match to consume them one after the other. Time played no role, as it flew by in such farming sessions.
When a Guardian filled their inventory with yellow engrams, they would head straight to Rahool, the Cryptarch, and hope that he wasn’t having a bad day. After decoding, one either received Exotics they still needed or just junk to dismantle.
Rahool made no friends in Destiny 1 through poor decoding
Why were they banned? While the Three of Coins were popular in Destiny 1, they were not favored in the early days of Destiny 2. They were a relic of the old days. Since Guardians were already flooded with Exotics in Destiny 2, they were practically worthless and thus lost their shine.
Bungie’s policy changed in 2017: More players, especially casuals, should be introduced to the universe of the loot shooter. Had the grind-heavy system from Destiny 1 been present, it would have discouraged many players who were not accustomed to such.
Finally, Bungie recognized the rudimentary item and eventually removed it completely from the system at the release of Forsaken.
This was a brief look back at perhaps the most powerful item from Destiny. Do you remember it, and if so, what was the first Exotic you received with the help of the Three of Coins? Feel free to let us know in the comments!

The MMORPG Throne and Liberty (PC, PS5, Xbox) showcased real gameplay for the first time in 2022, but with a focus on PvP. In a Q&A session regarding the current quarterly report, the conversation also touched on what TL should do to be successful in the West. The answer: high-quality PvE, story content, and action-packed battles.
What kind of game is it?Throne and Liberty is the biggest MMORPG set to release in 2023. It is being developed by NCSoft, who have produced Aion, Blade & Soul, and Lineage. The first gameplay trailer looked particularly strong, featuring massive boss battles, action-packed combat, and cool movement options like climbing, flying, and swimming.
However, the trailer also concerned some players. Because it mainly showcased PvP battles for castles, which are expected to play a central role in the endgame. However, Western players tend to prefer PvE content.
Nevertheless, the developers reassured that their central concept for a successful MMORPG in the West is based on story and PvE content.

New MMORPG Hope from Korea Finally Shows a Lot of Gameplay in New Trailer
Further, it was asked how NCSoft plans to bring a console MMORPG into the mainstream in North America, as console MMORPGs are not a big hit there. The answer:
We have incorporated a lot of narrative content to enhance immersion. This is something entirely different from the MMORPGs we have catered to in the past. I don’t think the MMORPG genre itself is the problem in North America. When high-quality PvE, action, and narrative content come together, MMORPGs can even grow further. In our next announcement, we will prepare for these differences to fully come into play.
NCSoft further explained that too much emphasis had been placed on PvP in the videos so far, which led to a distorted image of the game. In the future, more PvE videos are to be released.
Was there anything new about the payment model? Not concretely. It was only stated that the IPs Throne and Liberty and Lineage should differ so that they do not cannibalize each other.
Lineage relied on a subscription model for a long time, but switched to free-to-play in 2019. The latest installments in the series, which like Lineage 2M are primarily released for mobile devices, are also free-to-play and place a strong emphasis on the shop.
This indicates that Throne and Liberty could potentially be buy-to-play to distinguish itself from that. However, this is not confirmed.
Throne and Liberty focuses on an open world and forgoes classes
There are no classes. Instead, you equip two weapons that determine your play style.
The combat system will be action-oriented and is roughly reminiscent of Blade & Soul.
There will be no classic holy trinity.
The game world is supposed to be completely open.
You play your character in third-person view, similar to most popular MMORPGs. Initially, an isometric perspective like in Lost Ark was planned.
The environment will play an important role. Much depends on day, night, or weather. Wind is supposed to affect archers when shooting, and rain will weaken fire attacks.
What do you think of Throne and Liberty? Are you interested in this new MMORPG? And do you always feel a bit skeptical about Korean games?
NCSoft is also rumored to be working on an MMORPG for Horizon: Zero Dawn. They were asked about this in the call. It is said that they are working with many partners and “soon” an official announcement will come. More on this here:
Leveling weapons is especially the main activity of many players at the start of a new CoD game. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, there is a trick to easily collect a lot of XP. MyMMO author Maik Schneider sometimes feels like he is in a noise disturbance simulator because of this.
Tricks for faster weapon leveling in Call of Duty are always welcome. Every year, there is a different trick, a different method to quickly bring your arsenal to max level.
In the new Modern Warfare 2, it was first the Invasion mode that everyone rushed to – fight through to the enemy spawn and take out the NPCs wandering around in the big team deathmatch.
However, this leads to monotonous purpose-driven gameplay, only interrupted by annoying real players who clear my position. While I spit out an obscene curse, I am already on my way back to the spot, and it repeats – frustrating.
Fortunately, there is the decoy grenade – a tactical grenade that mimics gunfire. It turns out that you can farm a ton of extra weapon XP with these things if you regularly throw them in places where many enemies go down.
But since almost everyone is currently using this trick, some matches sound roughly like this:
At the moment, however, I just wish for some peace and quiet. There is banging, hissing, and firing from all corners. Sure, CoD is a war game, and I’m used to things exploding and gunfire everywhere.
But the decoy grenades take it to a whole new level of disturbance. Sometimes I feel like my ears are going to explode.
Particularly motivated specimens like to stay active for 20 seconds, playing sounds from almost every automatic weapon class and emitting the sound so that the shooting could come from just about any direction.
I’m the first to use such tricks, spread the word, and celebrate them. But the decoy grenade is driving me crazy right now. But my weapon levels look excellent … .
The trick is good, but my gameplay experience is currently somewhat clouded by it – can you remember similar situations, perhaps also in other games like Call of Duty? Leave a comment on the topic.
Are you dragon experts in World of Warcraft? Then prove your knowledge and show what you can do in this quiz!
In the next expansion of World of Warcraft, everything revolves around the dragons. After all, the Dragon Isles are the setting in Dragonflight – so you need to be well-versed in the history of these winged creatures to navigate there. Each of the new areas essentially tells the modern story of a dragonflight and the problems they are currently facing.
But how well do you really know the dragons and their background story? Do you understand all the connections that come with the dragons? Or are you more of an inexperienced “whelps” who can’t quite grasp the dragon story?

On November 12, the TV total Wok World Championship took place. This year, there were two four-person woks participating, featuring well-known streamers and YouTubers from Germany. However, neither team managed to secure a podium finish. Trymacs also suffered a knee injury.
How did the WOK-WM go for the streamers? Two teams of streamers and YouTubers participated in the Wok WM:
World Wide Wok Team 1 consisted of: Knossi, Trymacs, MontanaBlack, and Unsympatisch TV.
World Wide Wok Team 2 consisted of: Papaplatte, Rewi, Laserluca, and wildcard winner Johannes
Although the qualifying round was promising, the final race did not go well for either team.

Twitch: Who were actually the first successful streamers?
Trymacs injures himself, drops out in the second run
How did Team 1 perform? In their first race, Team Knossi and Trymacs almost faced a fall. To avoid this fall at nearly 100 km/h, they had to place their body parts on the ice track, which slowed them down and cost them a lot of time.
They barely managed to secure 8th place out of 10, which at least qualified them for the finals. The last two teams were eliminated in the preliminary round.
Additionally, Trymacs was reportedly already struggling with an injury from the rehearsal before the first run, as Knossi shared in an interview. After the fall, it was said that Trymacs had bruised his knee and could not participate in the second run. The streamer announced this via Instagram. Instead, a stuntman took his place.
However, the second run was also not successful. This time, the fall was unavoidable, and Knossi spent part of the ride completely outside the wok. In the end, they lacked the time to compete for a higher position, and they remained in 8th place.
Here you can watch the second run of both internet teams:

How did Team 2 perform? The team led by Papaplatte and Rewi only managed to secure 7th place in the first round, just one position ahead of Knossi and the team. In the finals, they also managed to drive a bit faster than their Twitch competitors.
In the end, however, they also finished in 7th place.
Who won the Wok WM in the four-person category? The team Deutschland 3, consisting of former luge athlete Johannes Ludwig, actor Felix von Jascheroff, Olympic bobsledder Francesco Friedrich, and former cross-country skier Evi Sachenbacher-Stehle, took 1st place.
Team Deutschland 2 took 2nd place and Team Deutschland 1 finished in 3rd place. The favorites, Team USA, only came in 4th. Team Burger King from Turkey finished 5th, and the Irish team led by Joey Kelly took 6th place.
What is the Wok WM anyway? The Wok WM was established in 2003 by Stefan Raab after he offered it as a wager on Wetten dass..?? Participants race down a bobsleigh track in a steel wok.
The event took place every year from 2003 to 2015. After Stefan Raab withdrew from active television, the event was suspended. It took place again in 2022 for the first time.
Did you watch the Wok WM? Or did the event pass you by? Do you think it’s good that YouTubers and streamers participate in such events, and can that motivate you to turn on the TV? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
Currently, it is a trend that larger Twitch streamers and YouTubers host real-life sports events. In addition to boxing matches, there was a football event featuring Trymacs and Knossi:
Hearthstone is known for its sometimes absurd cards. But with one of them, you simply lose directly – if you don’t hurry up.
With “March of the Lich King”, the next expansion of Hearthstone is coming soon, set to be released in December. Gradually, all 145 cards will be revealed – and as expected, there are some particularly curious cases among them. One of the newest cards simply makes you lose – at least if you don’t get to the end of the game quite quickly.
What kind of card is this? Lord Frostbringer is a legendary neutral undead minion, boasting stats of 6 / 6 for 6 mana. Its effect is also quite devilish, as its Deathrattle states: For the rest of the game, your first card each turn costs (0). You will die in 3 turns.
Thus, Frostbringer can shine as a “Mana Cheat” – because from turn 7 (or even earlier with the coin), you can play cards that cost significantly more mana – and for free. However, from this moment on, you also have the certainty and thus the pressure of time, which signifies your impending doom. For if you cannot finish the game after Lord Frostbringer’s death within 3 turns, the card ends the game for you – with a defeat.
Start video

The true danger lies elsewhere: While one might easily say, “Then I simply won’t include this card in my deck”, the true danger of Lord Frostbringer lies in a random factor. You can end up in a really “sticky” situation if you accidentally draw Lord Frostbringer – this could especially happen to Shamans who upgrade their own minions via Evolution. But many other cards that summon random minions could suddenly encounter Lord Frostbringer and thus initiate the countdown to doom.
However, it will be interesting to see if the community manages to create some sensible decks with Lord Frostbringer. After all, its effect is quite powerful – and can allow for some truly crazy combos that can indeed lead to a timely victory.
What do you think about such cards? Cool, interesting strategy possibilities? Or complete nonsense?
The Viking game “Land of the Vikings” is currently available in Early Access on Steam. The player manages a village where each resident has individual strengths and weaknesses, making them suitable for specific jobs.
What is Land of the Vikings about? The game is a settlement-building simulator with elements of strategy and survival games.
The player takes on the role of the leader in a Viking village, becoming what is known as a “Jarl”. As such, you work to expand your settlement further.
Here you can see the Early Access trailer for Land of the Vikings:
Start video
Land of the Vikings – Early Access Trailer
Organize the Viking settlement and manage job assignments appropriately
What does the gameplay of Land of the Vikings look like? In the game, you manage the village’s resources, withstand the forces of nature, and fend off enemy attacks.
As a Jarl, the player must know each and every one of their Vikings, because: The NPCs each have their own personality. In total, 20 traits define a person in the village.
Therefore, you should consider the skills and abilities of each Viking when assigning tasks. Because not every NPC is well-suited for every job. For example, the values to keep in mind are:
Happiness
Strength
Speed
Intelligence
In addition, there are certain traits and peculiarities that influence the abilities of the Viking NPCs, such as charisma, bravery, laziness, and cunning.
The player gathers resources by having trees felled, taking care of field cultivation, and sending NPCs hunting. Minerals can also be mined, and fish can be caught.
Here you can see some screenshots from Land of the Vikings
Especially in winter, enough resources must be available to survive the cold season. Additionally, there are natural forces like earthquakes or lightning that can cause fires.
With your Viking neighbors, you can trade and also send a crew by ship to sell goods. There is also the option to forcibly seize goods by sending the player to raid other villages.
To expand your village, you build up civilization as you see fit and try to achieve high satisfaction among the population. Progress is rewarded with “Fame Points”, which can be used to unlock new types of buildings on the great “Tree of Life”.
More about new games on Steam can be found here on MeinMMO:
How do players rate Land of The Vikings? The ratings for the game are very good – however, there are currently only very few reviews. Of the 50 ratings, 80% are positive (as of November 9, 2022, via Steam)
How much does Land of the Vikings currently cost? The game is currently on introductory offer on Steam. Until November 18, 2022, Land of the Vikings is reduced by 10% and costs €17.99 instead of €19.99 (as of November 9, 2022).
Important note: Land of the Vikings is currently only available in English on Steam.
NCSoft, the company behind Lineage, Aion and Blade & Soul, is reportedly working on a new MMORPG. This is said to be developed in collaboration with Sony and set in the world of the Horizon series.
Update November 13: During a Q&A session regarding the quarterly report, NCSoft was also asked about the Horizon MMORPG. The response indicates that due to their long-standing MMORPG experience, there are many cooperation offers. They cannot comment on it yet, but an announcement of a new project is expected soon.
This project is intended to excite shareholders and appeal to the global market (via bbs.ruliweb).
What kind of game will this be? Not many details about the MMORPG are available yet. The report comes from the Korean website MTN, which claims to have heard this information from insiders around Sony and NCSoft.
It is said that NCSoft and Sony have teamed up to develop a new online game based on the Horizon IP. Development is reportedly already underway, and both companies are said to be in close contact. Internally, the game is codenamed “Project H”.
According to the report, Sony is actively involved in the development. This suggests that the Horizon MMORPG will also be released for PlayStation and will not be a purely mobile game like some of NCSoft’s recent titles.
Does the concept of Horizon fit into an MMORPG? Absolutely. Especially the structure of the open world, the many secrets to discover, the different modes of transportation, and the weak points principle would make a Horizon MMORPG really interesting. We found that already with the first part:
Sony has probably wanted a multiplayer for Horizon for a long time
What supports this information? As reported by the website VGC, Guerrilla Games – the developers of Horizon – and Sony wanted to incorporate co-op into the first game, Zero Dawn. However, this was discarded to focus on the remaining game content.
Sony was reportedly very interested in getting a co-op mode for Forbidden West, but Guerrilla decided against it again and only wanted to develop a separate online spin-off later, if at all.
Now it seems that Sony has decided to develop an online game with NCSoft.
What has NCSoft created so far? NCSoft is one of the largest MMORPG companies out there. They had great success with the Lineage series. Lineage 1 was released on September 3, 1998, and still ranks among the top 20 online games in Korea today. The sequel, Lineage 2, also makes it into the current top 20.
Otherwise, NCSoft made a name for itself with the games Aion and Blade & Soul. They are also the publisher and owner of Guild Wars 2, even though it is being developed in America. As a publisher, they also worked on Wildstar, Tabula Rasa, and City of Heroes, all of which have now been discontinued.
Throne and Liberty: We show you in 80 seconds what you need to know about the great MMORPG hope
When could we learn more? The G-Star takes place from November 17 to 20. This is the largest gaming expo in Korea. New titles are usually presented here. It is quite possible that Sony and NCSoft will reveal more about the Horizon MMORPG there.
Does the idea of an MMORPG in the world of Horizon appeal to you? Or should it remain a purely single-player franchise? What should the MMORPG definitely have to be interesting for you? Let us know in the comments.
An MMORPG from NCSoft is Guild Wars 1. Many players are now wishing for a remake that moves away from Guild Wars 2:
Today, on November 13, top raids featuring Hoopa are happening again in Pokémon GO. Here, we show you everything you need to know about the mini-event in an overview.
What are top raids?Top raids are relatively new in Pokémon GO and present a special challenge for you.
They are more difficult than normal raids; you need many trainers.
The eggs “hatch” for 24 hours – then the boss can be challenged for 30 minutes.
They start at 11:00, 14:00, and 17:00.
You can only participate on-site and not with remote raid passes.
Here, we show you what you need to know for the next event of this kind, which starts this weekend.
Top raids with Hoopa on November 13 – What is happening?
When does it start? The top raids are running today, on November 13, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM local time. During this time, you can see the special eggs at gyms and participate in the battles with many other trainers.
What is known? At the beginning of the month, it was initially only known that there would be top raids on November 13. On November 7, the Japanese account of Pokémon GO confirmed on Twitter that the event would feature Hoopa in its Unbound form. We embed the tweet here:

In New World, the mysterious material Azoth plays an important role. It corrupts the world but is also used by players for fast travel or crafting. We at MeinMMO reveal what exactly lies behind Azoth.
What is Azoth? Azoth is a mysterious material that is said to offer eternal life. It attracts many adventurers stranded on the island of Aeternum, as this material is said to exist only here. However, the greed for Azoth corrupts the game world and has thus created the Corrupted.
Besides its significance for the lore, Azoth is also an important currency in New World.
How to get Azoth? Azoth does not play a major role at the beginning, and you only receive a very small amount of it. However, starting at level 20, it becomes more relevant and easier to obtain:
A simple way to obtain Azoth is by completing quests related to the main story and the Azoth staff. These reward you with about 20 Azoth.
However, you can also farm more specifically by defeating Corrupted enemies of level 20 or higher.
What can you do with Azoth? You need this currency for various content in the game. The currency plays an important role in crafting. If you want the best gear with the best perks and attributes, you must use Azoth in the process.
Furthermore, Azoth is needed for fast travel. This allows you to travel from outpost to outpost and also reset the cooldown in your house. However, the costs have been drastically reduced, making its use less relevant now.
Lastly, you can use Azoth to reset your skill trees and thus adjust your build for the respective weapon.
In New World there are various debuffs that play an important role in both PvE and PvP. In this guide, we explain what the individual debuffs are and what they do.
What debuffs are there? In New World, there are eight different debuffs:
Slow – Reduces movement speed by 50%
Rupture – Reduces damage absorption by 30%
Weakness – Reduces the opponent’s damage by 50%
Disease – Reduces healing received by 50%
Exhaustion – Reduces stamina regeneration
Silence – Prevents the use of abilities
Root – Prevents movement while allowing attacks and abilities to continue
Stun – Disables all actions
These debuffs play an important role, especially in PvP. Particularly important are stuns, silence, and disease. This way, you can control opponents, prevent abilities, and reduce healing received.
In PvE, it is important that Rend is active on opponents so the group can deal more damage. Additionally, there are certain abilities that activate or trigger bonus damage when enemies are hit with an active debuff.
Do DoTs count as debuffs? No, burning, poison, and bleeding do not count as debuffs, but have their own category.

5 Tips if you want to start with New World in 2023
You must master buffs, debuffs, and the different types of damage
What can you do against debuffs? Debuffs typically expire on their own. However, there is also the effect “Cleanse” through which you can remove all debuffs from yourself. Additionally, there are abilities that remove specific debuffs.
What important aspects are there besides debuffs? Debuffs play an important role when you want to deal maximum damage while controlling opponents. But there are two other important aspects you should know.
On one hand, there are buffs. Empowerment increases your damage, reinforcement strengthens your defense, and haste makes you run faster.
The combat system of New World does not consist of learning complicated rotations, but has a tactical component where positioning and dodging are essential.
