Fractured Online had a somewhat successful beta phase and launched on September 15, 2022, on Steam in early access. Now the MMORPG on Steam has only 23 players in the 24-hour peak, but what actually happened?
What is Fractured Online? In advance, the game was presented as the first truly dynamic sandbox MMORPG and brought along some really good ideas. Your playstyle is fundamentally determined by the race you choose to play.
While the Wildfolk as a player race can only act in PvE and live peacefully, as a Demon there is hardcore full-loot open-world PvP and even experience for killing other players. As a Human, you choose the middle path where PvP is possible but punished.
Each of the three races has its own planet, and traveling between them is possible. However, visitors must adapt to the rules that prevail there. Other core features sound equally interesting:
You learn skills by killing monsters that master them
Mandatory crafting, as no finished equipment is dropped by monsters
Player-driven economy, where the community must build and defend an entire city
Traveling between worlds and event asteroids
World bosses as PvE endgame content
ISO view with a real open world and no separated sections
However, the game is not yet feature-complete. Among other things, the Demon race is still missing in early access and is to be added only with the final release.
What sounds great on paper, however, does not seem to convince much. On Steam, the MMO currently has only 42% positive reviews out of a total of 380 reviews, and player numbers look dire.
In the last 24 hours, a maximum of 23 players have played Fractured simultaneously on Steam (as of November 7, 4:00 PM, via steamdb). That’s only about 1.5% of the 1,515 players at launch.
The game is also losing media attention. While at its peak, 4,045 viewers watched on Twitch how Fractured Online was being played, there were only a maximum of 6 concurrent viewers in November (as of November 7, 4:00 PM, via twitchtracker).
It should be noted that Fractured Online also has its own launcher with Glyph, and those numbers are not publicly available; however, Steam numbers and Twitch viewers are often a good trend indicator. A voluntary community employee from the developers confirmed, however, that “significantly more” fans log in via Glyph (via reddit).
You can watch the launch trailer for Fractured here:
If you could log in, there were numerous game bugs and crashes waiting, especially at the beginning. While this is to be expected with an early access, many people in the community were bothered by it.
The developers provided patches almost daily to smooth out some errors, but some felt that was not fast enough. Thus, many fans left just days after the early access launch, leaving unfavorable reviews.
Many fans praise the actual idea and concepts of the MMORPG, but for some, the game is simply too unfinished even for an early access. This image is clearly reflected in the reviews on Steam (via Steam).
While the developers are diligently improving and bringing updates, this is only slowly changing the ratings. But at least: At launch, Fractured only had 38% positive reviews; the ratings over the last 14 days are already at 56%.
The talents in Fractured also seem convincing
Fans want to come back later: On reddit, the sentiment is similar, even if people here are generally more positive towards the MMORPG than on Steam itself. There, PvP fans are particularly active in the forums, who find that Fractured currently offers too little.
Especially on reddit, there are numerous comments saying that they are waiting for the full release and the Demon race to be able to play proper PvP. Additionally, some fans hope that the entire game will run smoother and more polished by launch.
However, very few people seem to have completely written off Fractured Online. The ideas of the MMORPG are often praised here as well and described as innovative (via reddit).
What do you think of Fractured Online? Have you checked out the MMORPG? Is it for you, and are you also just waiting for new content and a smoother experience? Or do you think that Fractured cannot be saved anymore even at launch? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO.
Some of the most useful features of the PS5 are disabled by default. These bring out the best in your console. You can find out which settings they are in this article.
Sonys next-gen console comes with a wealth of practical and innovative features. However, some of these settings are disabled by default, even though they bring out the best in your PS5. In this article, you will learn what those settings are and how to activate them.
How can I adjust my settings? To access the settings for the PS5, simply press the triangle button on your PS5 DualSense on the dashboard and then move the cursor to the gear icon on the right.
Mute the Microphone
Every time you boot up your PS5, the microphone in your DualSense controller starts by default. This means, for example, that your voice can also be recorded during screen captures. You will also need to mute your microphone manually every time you are in a game’s lobby but don’t feel like talking.
If this bothers you, it can be useful to set your microphone to mute by default.
Settings > Sound > Microphone > Microphone Status when Logged In – Mute
Other settings that you should also disable on your PS5 and Xbox can be found in the following article:
You should turn off the DualSense controller’s microphone if you don’t need it.
Activate Remote Play
The Remote Play feature of your PS5 allows you to play games outside your console – for example, on your smartphone or PC. To make this possible, you first need to activate the feature in your console’s settings.
Once you have done that, you simply need to download the Remote Play app for Android, iOS, or Windows, and you can start playing with your next-gen console on the go. With the same app, you can conveniently connect your PS4 as well.
One of the biggest innovations of the PS5 is the support for 3D audio. This feature makes your gaming experience even more immersive – especially on headphones, such as the official PULSE 3D headset from Sony for the PS5. The 3D audio output sounds pretty good on your 5.1 or 7.1 speaker systems as well.
You need to activate this feature manually. Afterwards, you can adjust the surround sound output to your personal setup.
Settings > Sound > 3D Audio for TV Speakers
Activate the Difficulty Preset for Games
If you are someone who always plays games on the same difficulty level, this setting may save you a lot of time. You can choose a preset in the PS5 settings that always sets the difficulty of each game to the same level.
On the same settings page, you can also make similar settings for playing in first or third person, subtitle and audio language, or whether you prefer to play your games in performance or graphics mode.
Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Presets
You can also set spoiler warnings that inform you of possible spoilers before viewing certain content.
Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Spoiler Warnings
You can now pre-order Sony’s first own pro controller, the DualSense Edge. This article has all the important information for you:
When you set up your PS5 for the first time, you will be asked a series of questions about your privacy preferences. If you happen to not remember what you provided back then, you can check these preferences at any time.
For the best possible data protection, you should limit or disable all options under “This is where you specify how your data is collected and used”.
It is also worth taking a look at “View and adjust your privacy settings” to check what is publicly shared on your PSN profile.
Settings > Users and Accounts > Privacy
Configure Your Energy Saving Settings
The topic of energy saving is currently on everyone’s lips for good reason. Your PS5 also has a number of settings to minimize power consumption. For example, you can disable your PlayStation 5 from providing power to the USB ports during standby mode or set when your console or controller will switch to that mode.
Settings > System > Energy Saving
If you want to know what playing with your PS5 costs in electricity, take a look at this article:
If you are the only person who plays with the PS5, you can set it to automatically log in your profile every time the console starts. This saves you a little time each time you boot up the PlayStation 5.

A video of a fascinating gaming keyboard has surfaced on Twitter. It is said to offer skins that look really vibrant. Allegedly, it is supposed to work with Steam. Now even the manufacturer has responded and presents itself confidently.
Anyone who wants to play and work on a computer inevitably needs a keyboard. However, a manufacturer seems to discover the keyboard as a new form of art.
Because a leak has introduced a unique keyboard. At first glance, it seems rather strange and like a fake, but by now the manufacturer “Finalmouse” has indirectly confirmed the product.
Finalmouse is known for high-quality peripherals. Recently, they teamed up with one of the best shooter players in the world and sold a single mouse for millions:

Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 throws old traditions overboard and has even announced that it will remove loadout drops from the game. Now there are hints that the important mechanic is in the game after all – with a major change.
What are loadout drops? These are a supply mechanic that distinguishes Call of Duty: Warzone from other Battle Royale games.
While in PUBG, Apex Legends, or Fortnite you depend on the weapons you find during the match, in Warzone 1 you can bring your own customized weapons into the game.
Loadout drops come down twice in the game or can be purchased at one of the buy stations on the map for a good chunk of cash – but that is supposed to change with Warzone 2.0.
Warzone 2.0 will be released on November 16 with the start of Season 1 of CoD MW2. A short overview of the Battle Royale can be found in the video:

CoD: Warzone 2.0 will be bigger and better – But there’s one thing you have to give up
How does it work in Warzone 2.0? It’s still not entirely certain. At the big reveal event CoD: Next in September, it was said that loadout drops would totally disappear.
However, even then, the developers hinted that this could change depending on feedback. And the community has responded – many want to see loadout drops back in Warzone 2.0.
Behold: First leaked images from Warzone 2.0 show that loadout drops are back in the game:

However, there seems to be an important change. CoD insider “@TheGhostOfHope” has commented on this – the Twitter account has been bringing small leaks and opinions about CoD for years.
Hope has received the following information from the CoD environment:

Tweet translation: “The loadout drop in Warzone 2.0 will be a free world drop. Loadouts cannot be purchased.”
Currently, this is still based on leaks. However, the developers’ statements align with the latest findings. But the information is not certain, so remain skeptical for now.
Currently, it seems possible that loadouts could also be an in-match event that does not occur in every match.
How the loadouts will come into the game will still be shown later this week. An event with selected CoD streamers, who are allowed to show the first gameplay of Warzone 2.0, will start on Wednesday (November 10) or Thursday (November 11).
How else can I get weapons in Warzone 2.0? The buy stations are supposed to play a much larger role in this. Here you can either buy your pre-made weapons or base weapons that can then be equipped with attachments during the match.
In addition, you will probably find attachments during the match as ground loot and can equip found or purchased base weapons with them.
Which system do you prefer? Participate in our survey:
Leave us a comment with your thoughts on the topic. Loadout drops were something that made Warzone 1 so special – how would you handle personal loadouts? Remove them completely like Warzone 2 or put them in the spotlight like in Warzone 1?
28-year-old Kaitlyn Siragusa, known as Amouranth, is one of the most successful personalities on Twitch. On October 15, she revealed in an emotional stream that she is being controlled by her husband and forced to stream. Now she only wants to do what she wants – and has set a personal record.
What milestone has Amouranth achieved? Amouranth surpassed 6 million followers on Twitch, a new record for her channel. She is now the woman with the second most followers on Twitch, after Imane “Pokimane” Anys with 9.25 million followers. Overall, she ranks 22nd (via sullygnome).
Amouranth reached this milestone less than a month after she separated from her husband. She had accused him of emotional abuse and forcing her to stream.
Amouranth seems to be having a lot of fun with Overwatch 2 at the moment.

Overwatch 2: Story and teaser about the new hero from Season 2
Amouranth breaks free from control and people love it
What is Amouranth doing differently now? Not much, according to the opinions of some viewers. After all, Amouranth still appears in revealing outfits on stream, licks microphones in ASMR videos on YouTube, and posts racy pictures on Twitter.
Nevertheless, there are some fundamental changes:
Amouranth streams significantly less: In October 2022, Amouranth was live for 231 hours. While this is still a lot, she was following her usual schedule until mid-month. Compared to previous months, she has streamed an average of 100 hours less (via sullygnome).
Shorter streams: For a long time, Amouranth was almost daily live on Twitch for up to 14 hours straight. Now she also takes a day off or ends a stream after only 2 hours (via Twitchtracker).
Amouranth shows different content: Yes, she still appears in daring outfits. But while the Hot Tub and ASMR categories used to dominate Amouranth’s streams, she now takes viewers along to meet her horses in IRL streams or plays Overwatch 2.
What she does, she does of her own free will: If Amouranth now appears in the hot tub, it is likely only because she truly wants to.
Amouranth’s stream content from the last 14 daysAmouranth’s stream content from the last 365 days
Why is this exciting? Amouranth stated in October that she had been severely pressured by her husband. She was not allowed to do anything that could jeopardize her brand, including making her relationship public.
The nature of her content was also controlled by her husband, according to Amouranth. He demanded that she always present herself in revealing clothes instead of participating in fun streamer events, and she had to stay home and “grind”.
It apparently always revolved around gaining more followers and converting them into paying customers on platforms like OnlyFans.
Now, Amouranth is catching up on all the things she enjoys: she visits her horses, holds IRL streams with friends, and plays for hours. This could have led to a drop in viewer numbers.
But the opposite is true: more people than ever are following Amouranth when she is apparently being her true self.
Nevertheless, there are critical voices. Some people accuse Amouranth of using the accusations against her husband as a mere act, claiming she is presenting herself as usual again. Others are concerned and fear that Amouranth will continue to be pressured.
Amouranth responds to criticism
What does Amouranth say to her critics? On Twitter, Amouranth stated on October 22 what is different now: When she used to take a break from streaming, she was always productive in other ways: filming other content or having photo shoots.
Now she doesn’t do that; she doesn’t have any new photos to share. This suggests that at least part of the photos and videos currently posted by Amouranth were pre-produced a long time ago.
I believe some of you just don’t understand that one can be forced to do something over a longer period but want to do it of their own free will under other circumstances.
Amouranth
It seems that Amouranth has to rediscover herself after years of control and experiment with what content is right for her. If the last few weeks are an indicator, viewers can look forward to a mix of familiar and new content in the future.
The “Hot Tub” streams, with which Amouranth also became famous, have been controversially discussed for a long time. In particular, female streamers can circumvent Twitch’s strict clothing guidelines with them, as they are technically swimming. However, they must constantly tread a fine line; one wrong move, and they get banned:
Paramount Hero is a new MMORPG that was released on October 7, 2022, on Steam. It is a solo project by developer Graham Darcey.
Darcey is from America and has been working in the gaming industry for over 10 years according to his LinkedIn profile. Paramount Hero is his first solo project on Steam. It is currently in Early Access and costs €12.49.
What kind of game is it? Paramount Hero is an MMORPG with a classic fantasy setting. You create a character, kill monsters, and complete quests. PvP is also possible.
The environment is partially handcrafted and partially procedurally generated, covering an area of 3 km². To move, you need to click on the desired spot instead of using arrow keys or WASD.
Visually, the game is reminiscent of RPGs from the 1990s, such as The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall or Planescape: Torment. However, it still feels very raw.
What additional content does it offer? Additionally, Paramount Hero features:
Crafting and collecting items
Pets that assist you
A day-night cycle and various weather situations
Various skills and spells that you can level up
Who is it suitable for? If you’re looking for a polished MMORPG with modern graphics, you’re definitely looking in the wrong place. However, if you want to be reminded nostalgically of the RPGs of the past and support a solo project, you should check out Paramount Hero.
Don’t let bugs deter you; after all, the game is still in Early Access and has only one developer who can fix issues.
What do you think of Paramount Hero? Do you want to give the MMORPG a try, or do you find the graphics too outdated? Have you already tested it? Which RPG from the past do you feel transported back to when looking at this game? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO!
Until Gearscore 1,370, Lost Ark will comparatively guide you and show you the way. At least the advancement in Gearscore always works the same way. But what happens next when you reach 1,370? We from MeinMMO make it easier for you to get into the endgame.
What is special about 1,370? No matter if you are Gearscore 302 or 1,302, leveling in Lost Ark works exactly the same from Tier 1 to Tier 3. You reach a certain item level, get the armor that you can obtain from then on, and bring it to +15.
Then you are high enough to drop the next armor, which is back to +0, and you bring it up to +15 again, until you get to the next armor. This works excellently up to Gearscore 1,370, just not after that.
You don’t unlock a new chaos dungeon that provides you with new gear, and with your blue or purple gear, it simply stops at +15. But don’t worry, you won’t be stranded at 1,370; the progress just works differently.
To face Kakul-Saydon, you need Gearscore 1,475:

What to do from 1,370? One thing doesn’t change; you need to switch your equipment. The only thing that changes is how you get it. Because to progress from 1,370, you need legendary gear. You have three different sets with different bonuses to choose from.
Once you’ve snagged these legendary sets, you’ll quickly notice that they have a base Gearscore of 1,340 instead of 1,302 like your current gear. So go to the upgrader and transfer the +15 from your current equipment to the new legendary armor.
Don’t be alarmed, because although your Gearscore stays at 1,370 once everything is transferred, your gear is now only +6 and no longer +15. From now on, you must reach +15 on your legendary gear again. Once that’s done, you’ll be item level 1,415 and can face the first Legion Raid.
Where do you get legendary gear? There are 3 legendary armor sets that you can get from 1,370. There are two sources for this:
You progress easiest by completing the hard mode of Orehas Well once and picking up only the legendary weapon there. The set from Orehas Well has hardly any relevant set bonuses, while the set from Argos has a strong 5-piece bonus. It’s advisable to get the most expensive item from the 6-piece set of Orehas Well so you don’t have to farm Argos for it.
The Abyss Raid Argos then secures you the other 5 pieces, but you face a big grind here. Because at 1,370, you can only complete the first of three phases of the raid and thus receive only a third of the rewards. A bit of gold can help here.
Argos is much meaner than he looks
Buying Argos pays off: If you absolutely want to earn everything yourself, you can certainly do that, but nowadays, it can be very easy and especially cheap to buy your way through this tedious leveling phase. Especially for Argos, numerous so-called “buses” are offered in the party finder.
There, players with high Gearscore sell you all three phases of the raid, currently in EU Central usually between 700 and 1,000 gold. This is especially worthwhile because at the end, you earn 2,700 gold from Argos.
You thus earn your legendary gear, jewelry, experience, and even gold, despite paying gold.
In total, you need 2 complete runs of all Argos phases to gather the 5 missing set pieces. So it will take at least 2 weeks since you can only defeat Argos once a week. Which of the two sets you buy depends on your class. Websites like maxroll.gg can help you with that decision.
Gearscore 1,415 – What to do?
What to do from 1,415? Once you have your legendary set at +15, you have reached Gearscore 1,415. But unlike before, you no longer need new equipment. Instead, you need to continue enhancing your existing legendary pieces.
This will be expensive, and the probabilities are very low, but currently, this is the only way to progress in the game. However, starting from Gearscore 1,415 with Valtan and from 1,430 with Vykas, new opportunities open up for you to acquire upgrade materials and gold.
Only from Gearscore 1,445 do you switch your equipment again, as you will unlock the Relic equipment, which is even stronger than legendary.
Unlike usual, however, your upgrade level does not change here. Legendary and Relic sets share the same Gearscore, only offering better set bonuses and stronger base stats. To obtain a full Relic set, you must defeat both Valtan and Vykas multiple times.
Valtan awaits you as the first Legion Raid starting from Gearscore 1,415
Focus on jewelry: However, starting from item level 1,415, you unlock something no less exciting, namely Relic jewelry and Relic ability stones, with which you can rework your engravings. Depending on how much gold you are willing and able to spend, it is now possible to achieve up to 5 engravings at level 3.
If you don’t have that much gold, you should first aim for 4 engravings of level 3. This is possible because Relic jewelry from level 1,415 can give you a bonus of up to 5 slots per engraving.
You can now focus on improving your engravings and jewelry to get more out of your character. However, be aware that before you build and buy, it is not possible to reach 5 engravings at level 3 unless you have at least one of the engravings you can equip at legendary, that is, x12.
Late goals, missed opportunities, misplaced passes – a lot in FIFA 23 can be frustrating when a match goes badly. However, a challenge in FUT Moments takes it to the extreme, says MeinMMO author Max Handwerk.
Since Ted Lasso landed in FIFA 23, a large yellow banner with the word “Believe” adorns the fan curves of my stadium in Ultimate Team. “Believing in it” is always a good approach when you want to secure a dramatic win in football.
But it can also be excessive: Currently, FIFA 23 presents players with a task in “FUT Moments” where “believing in it” is pretty much the only thing you can do to complete it. Because almost everything you do immediately causes you to lose and have to start over.
It’s about the task “Castle Wall” in the FUT Moments collection “Medieval Football”. A challenge that could very well come straight from hell.
Please, please, goalkeeper – stop catching the damn ball
What kind of task is this? I don’t know who came up with “Castle Wall”, but I can vividly imagine the diabolical laughter while crafting this challenge.
The task is: “You are leading by 1 point. Do not gain possession of the ball for 6 minutes and do not concede a goal.” So: Do nothing. Still do not lose. Good luck.
An almost impossible challenge
I thought: Sounds exciting, it’s something different, could get a bit tricky. And yes, it is tricky. Because to this day I have not completed it.
So I start the moment, land 6 in-game minutes before the final whistle in the match and the opponent is launching an attack in my half. I have seen this scene so often now that I slowly feel like Bill Murray in “Groundhog Day”.
Again and again I started the moment, again and again I fail within seconds.
The problem: No matter what you do, almost everything causes the immediate pop-up question of whether you want to restart.
If you take the ball from the opponent, you have lost – because you have gained possession.
If the opponent kicks it out, you have lost. A goal kick or throw-in also counts as possession.
The goalkeeper catches the ball? Unfortunately lost!
If you do nothing? Well, the opponent scores a goal. Lost!
You may at least slide tackle or head the ball away. But if the attempt goes to your teammate? Ha, lost.
The AI defense takes the ball? Yep, also lost.
You simply see this screen too often
I saw one last chance in consistently sliding the ball away or if necessary the opposing players. But this tactic was also in vain. Foul the opponent to the ground may work, but it only gets you through time with a lot of luck. If it goes badly, you also hit the ball instead of the opponent’s ankle – and have, you guessed it, lost.
I always had hope when my keeper cleared the ball to a corner and I headed the standard far away afterwards. But generally, that is also not enough to get to the end – somehow the ball still ends up getting to you. And most of the time my keeper just caught the ball, whether from corners or during the run of play. Please, please… stop catching the ball!
Even if the ball is lying freely around, my players automatically run towards it. Unless you do something against the automatic running. And therein lies perhaps the only chance to complete the challenge.
Is there a solution? There is a way that has circulated in the FIFA subreddit and is also suggested on YouTube. And it almost brought me to success.
You first have to bet that the opponent shoots and your keeper clears the ball into nothing, where it stays. Here, my defender actually runs automatically – but you can perform a “Hard Cancel” by pressing L1, R1, L2, and R2 simultaneously. Then the player does nothing – and for some reason the opponent holds back.
Then the ball lies freely, and no one cares what happens with it… until the 89th minute.
After the Hard Cancel, no one wanted the ball – A chance?
That was the moment when the opposing players suddenly all ran like they were stung by a tarantula, took the ball, and shot at my goal as if there was no tomorrow.
My defenders blocked, jumped in between, but they did not regain possession. In the first minute of stoppage time, my mouth curled into a triumphant smile, I thought I had done it – until my goalkeeper of course proved his excellent reflexes once more and caught that last ball with the final whistle.
Then I turned off the console straight away. But that is likely the way to ultimately master this challenge from hell:
Save the ball.
Hard Cancel everything, do absolutely nothing.
Wait for the opponent to come rushing in like crazy.
Overall, the task demands a rather strange way to play a match, and it’s best to just let it be. But after all these attempts, giving up is no longer an option. I mean, what would Coach Lasso say? Eventually, it will work out. Believe.
What do you think of FUT Moments? Is the mode something for you, or do you prefer to save yourself the little tasks? Let us know in the comments! And if you still need players for your team: Many cards are currently cheap on the market.

Due to a display bug in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, there is some confusion regarding the submachine gun Minibak (Bizon). You can find out how to unlock it on MeinMMO. We also provide you with a strong setup.
How do I unlock the Minibak? The submachine gun is available in the game. However, there is a bug in the weapon platforms display, which does not correctly highlight how to unlock the weapon. Here’s how it’s done:
CoD MW2: Unlock Minibak
Reach Rank 23 – unlock Assault Rifle Kastov 762
Play Kastov 762 at Rank 11 – unlock Kastov 545
Play Kastov 545 at Rank 13 – unlock Kastov-74U
Play Kastov-74U at Rank 18
The Minibak is now unlocked.
You can find a setup for the submachine gun further down. Here you can also find an overview of the best weapons in MW2 and here a video about the upcoming Warzone 2.0:

With this setup, you have a powerful submachine gun that allows for accurate hits at long distances. However, in close combat, it often falls short compared to competitors. You trade damage for range and a large magazine.
The bug will likely be fixed by the start of Season 1 at the latest. The developers have noted several things they want to address – balance adjustments, hardcore modes, bug fixes, and not least the release of Warzone 2.0.
As of March 2022, eight new MMORPGs have already been released in the West. We at MeinMMO reveal what makes these online role-playing games special, who they are interesting for, and how they are currently doing.
What MMORPGs are there? In this list, you will find games that were released in 2022. However, they must have had a full release or an Early Access release. Titles in Alpha or Beta have not been included.
The article was created by MMORPG expert Alexander Leitsch, who has already played all of these titles for at least 15 hours.
This list was last updated on November 7th. We have added information about Embers Adrift and Mist Legacy and updated the current state of the games.

Chimeraland
Setting: Fantasy | Developer: Proxima Beta | Platform: PC, Android, iOS | Release Date: January 6, 2022 | Model: Free2Play
What kind of game is this?Chimeraland is a new sandbox MMORPG where you can take on the role of humans as well as various animal beings. Chimeraland does without classes, instead allowing you to define your playstyle through your equipment.
There is an open game world with 4 continents without loading screens, which visually resembles Genshin Impact
There are collecting and crafting systems through which you can actively level up, just like in New World
You can build your own house anywhere in the open world
You can tame your animal companions and pets in the open world
You can sprint with Shift and jump with the Spacebar
There are various PvE and PvP content in the endgame
There is a real money shop with cosmetic content, XP buffs, chests with materials, and automatic completions of daily quests, as well as an additional purchasable Battle Pass
So far, the MMORPG has officially only been released in Malaysia. The mobile version thus has a region lock. However, downloading on PC works fine, although the ping is somewhat high due to the server location.
What is special about it? Chimeraland impresses especially with its crazy character editor. There you can play shark, bird, or rhinoceros people. Furthermore, you can change nearly everything about your body using sliders and thus create the ugliest character of all MMORPGs.
Another highlight is the breeding and hatching system. With it, you can cross different species of animals and thus breed creepy creatures as mounts or pets.
I have captured my first 60 minutes in Chimeraland in a video:

How has it been since the release? Chimeraland has been struggling with several issues, including performance and the rather empty game world. Generally, the MMORPG still feels unfinished and of not particularly high quality months after release.
The fun part of the game is the character editor, the breeding system, and the free building in the open world.
Meanwhile, Chimeraland has been released in the West. On Steam, it has so far peaked at 2,264 concurrent players. In the last 24 hours, at least 337 were online concurrently. The MMORPG can also be played via a standalone client and on mobile devices.
Who is it interesting for? If you are looking for a sandbox MMORPG with housing and a crazy character editor, take a look at Chimeraland, as it is Free2Play. However, do not expect a high-quality MMORPG on the level of Black Desert or ArcheAge.
The game is more suitable for a few fun hours with friends, where you can experiment with the systems, but less as a new main MMORPG that is supposed to replace WoW or FFXIV.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In New World, the Fresh Start took place on November 2nd. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch was right in the middle and leveled a new character for the first time since December 2021. He was impressed by the many changes during the start, but there are still issues now.
New World has made many adjustments to the start in the last 12 months. However, such adjustments can be quickly overlooked by veterans, although they are essential. If an MMORPG cannot convince in the first hours, many players already leave without ever seeing the endgame.
In keeping with the Fresh Start, I leveled a new character, waited in queues, and took a closer look at the changes. And I really like a lot of it.
The start is much smoother, the travel paths have been reduced, and the story is now equipped with cutscenes. Additionally, an Isabella constantly whispers in my ear, explaining why my mission will fail and the Corrupted will dominate the world. Atmospherically, New World has gained an incredible amount.
However, unfortunately, Amazon has overdone it with some adjustments or overlooked some important issues. The biggest sticking point for me: the leveling speed.
Who is speaking here? Alexander Leitsch is the MMORPG expert at MeinMMO and has been following New World since the alpha. Overall, he has accumulated over 850 hours of gameplay and has written dozens of guides for the game.
The start is short and varied
After creating the character and the short tutorial, I still land in the same three beaches in the game world in New World. However, the quest guidance there has been significantly revised. I no longer have to run back to the same camp constantly, but meet the NPCs to hand in and take quests always near me. This saves time and feels good.
The number of quests in the starting area has also been reduced, but in return, the number of experience points has been increased.
Everything feels more linear, structured, and thought out. In addition, the respawn times of the mobs have been reduced, eliminating unnecessary waiting times. This makes the start infinitely better.

New World: This is what to expect in the largest update so far
A small highlight is the many weapons that are scattered throughout the starting area or given as rewards for quests. I can already test every weapon from New World with level 3 and then settle on my preferred playstyle. With my first character in 2021, I had only sword, bow, and life staff to choose from.
The developers have also come up with something new for the main story. My screen often turns red, and a voice tells me that my entire mission is doomed to fail. The Corrupted are too strong, I am too weak, and evil always wins.
This whispering is complemented by a cutscene around level 6. Cutscenes were previously only present in some endgame content of New World, but now they are also sporadically included in the quests of the first 25 levels.
The Fresh Start was utilized by many players, as the quests for building the first campfire show.
The three factions in the game also received another positive overhaul. They now have their own headquarters with a fast travel point. Moreover, there are new quests where you have to prove yourself for the faction.
If desired, one can also do the quests of all three factions and only decide on one at the end. This gives additional experience points, though I never needed them. Because New World has more side quests per area than necessary, I can constantly chase after a new task.
Additionally, many changes improve the overall gaming experience, including additional fast travel points, lower travel costs, faster running on the paths, and much more. If you’re only interested in the adjustments, you can find an overview here:
However, it is precisely with the quests – or rather the associated experience points – that my first and by far biggest criticism lies. You level up far too quickly.
At launch, the leveling phase was very slow, but now with the story having received more love and players identifying more with the quests, it just feels too rushed.
I really noticed this when joining the factions. While I joined a faction at level 9 at launch, the quests are now designed for characters of level 17. However, the playtime until then remains the same.
Some will be glad that the leveling time is so quick, but I see it critically because many players with little experience and low crafting levels and sometimes poor equipment are trying to rush directly into the endgame dungeons.
My first hours in the alpha of New World were brutal. Everything felt more like a survival game; I had to dodge constantly and died multiple times in the first levels. At launch, there were already numerous adjustments, but you were still constantly thrown back by enemies or had to actively dodge.
With the Fresh Start, everything felt somewhat easy. This may partly be due to my experience, but completely new players also confirmed this feeling to me. I did not die a single time until level 40, and only with bosses did I really pay attention to dodging their attacks.
While New World caters to new players this way, the difficulty level should eventually increase during the quests. But so far, it feels more like kindergarten than a dangerous MMORPG.
This issue is currently even circulating in the forum. Players are complaining that the content at level 60 suddenly becomes way too hard and that they feel too weak.
Problem Number 3: Unfixed and New Bugs
The launch of New World was plagued by queues, bugs, and exploits. The Fresh Start went much smoother; new servers were opened faster, and there was no exploit that destroyed the economy.
Bugs still exist. Many players struggled with error messages like “Unable to Login” or were occasionally thrown out of the game with a black screen. There is also a problem with the display of buffs and debuffs that simply does not work for some players.
Some users also complain about bugs in crafting that were introduced with Patch 1.7.1. For example, the 24-hour cooldowns do not reset correctly.
In addition, there are many small issues:
I myself could not see the achievements in the interface for several days because there was a visual bug.
Some resources cannot be gathered correctly.
The quests of the other factions do not disappear from the quest log when you join a faction. While this does not limit gameplay, it is annoying to look at the map.
This is what my achievements interface currently looks like.
New World is Much Better Today, but Remains New World
The list of changes to the start of New World is long, and most of these adjustments are successful. Anyone who left the MMORPG due to boring quests, lack of story, and economic exploits should consider returning. The developers have also improved enemy diversity in the meantime.
But New World remains true to itself – in all good and bad things. Not everything is perfect, as seen in the difficulty level and leveling speed. The grind still plays a significant role, and while the combat system has been smoothed out, it still consists of the same fundamentals. If you don’t like that, you wouldn’t want to start again in 2022.
Overall, however, New World has developed significantly over the past 13 months. Players appreciate this. Currently, as many people are playing on Steam as last seen in December 2021. The future also looks very promising on paper.
For me, New World is thus one of the best MMORPGs on the market right now, and the new entry and the new area Brimstone Sands are a lot of fun for me.

MMORPG expert at MeinMMO
In 2023, there will be further updates for New World. Already, a raid boss, new weapons, new dungeons, and even a new crafting skill have been announced. Additionally, leaderboards for PvP and mounts will be introduced. More details can be found here:
The heads of Diablo 4 provide more insight into the development of the new action RPG in a series of interviews. The latest part focuses on the different classes and how you can find your own playstyle.
This is the skill system: In an interview with IGN, Game Director Joe Shely and the new Diablo head Rod Fergusson talked about 3 topics:
Fergusson explained in a previous interview that Diablo 4 will have a progression system similar to Diablo 2. Skills build on each other, and you should have the opportunity to create your own builds without being overwhelmed by the selection.
In the endgame, it is possible to reset talents for gold. For more customization, however, there are special mechanics for each class that can completely change the playstyle.
What unique mechanics are there? Shely explains that each class is meant to look interesting. When you see the abilities of another class in co-op, they should encourage you to engage with that class yourself in the next season.
Check out gameplay of 3 classes from Diablo 4:
Start video
Diablo 4: Druid, Sorceress and Barbarian in Gameplay Trailer
This mainly refers to various abilities that can be further adjusted through special mechanics. Shely says about this:
We want the classes to shine in their own way and to differentiate from each other. This brings us back to the aspect of choice. When we look at the class mechanics, we try to create them in a way that increases the number of meaningful choices, so you can customize your character.
The heads explain that Necromancers are built around the fantasy of a dark mage who raises the dead and takes them into battle with an army of the dead. Through the Book of the Dead, it can be customized how exactly such armies should look:
If you want to rely on a mixed army, you can raise skeletons and a larger servant
You can forgo a large golem and instead summon many skeletons
Instead of a large army, you can also summon a particularly powerful servant
If you want to completely avoid servants, you can focus on things like bone spears and corpse explosions
Each playstyle should feel unique and have pros and cons. Through the Book of the Dead, you can also customize what role your servants should fulfill or what weapons they fight with.
Here you see gameplay of the Necromancer:

The goal is, according to Fergusson, to bring depth to the classes without overwhelming players with too complex systems.
When exactly Diablo 4 will be released, we cannot say yet. According to rumors, the release is in April 2023 and in February, open beta and early access are supposed to run. You can read more about the upcoming ARPG in our comprehensive article:

Steps are a powerful tool in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to detect enemy soldiers. However, you can also move completely silently – although it’s not that easy when the field upgrade “Dead Silence” is still on cooldown.
The steps in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 are relatively loud. Enemies can be heard from several meters away, even through thick walls you can hear the tell-tale steps.
If you walk slower, crouched, or aim down sights, the volume of your movement changes. You can even move completely silently – even without the popular field upgrade “Dead Silence”.
However, you need to pay attention to some things and on PC, even make special settings. MeinMMO will show you the most important information about this.
CoD: Warzone 2.0 will be bigger and better – But there’s one thing you have to give up
How can I move silently? The most obvious tool is the field upgrade “Dead Silence”. When it is active, you run faster for a moment and are not even heard while sprinting. In the beta, there was still an audible signal when “Dead Silence” was activated – now it can hardly be perceived.
It gets trickier if you want to creep without “Dead Silence”. Because your steps are almost always audible. YouTuber “JackFrags” tested this and found that your steps are actually always audible – no matter how slowly you move.
However, Jack and his testing partner managed to find a movement combination that makes you completely silent:
Walk slowly
Crouch
Be aimed
This way, you are completely silent while walking, but you only move very slowly. In some tactical situations, this can be extremely helpful.
PC players must go into their settings to adjust the “Slow Walk,” while controller players only need to use their controller stick with the appropriate finesse.
To do this on PC, go into settings under “Mouse & Keyboard” and look for the “Movement Advanced Settings.” Set your “Walk Speed” to “Slow” here. Now you also need to assign a key under “Movement Advanced Keybinds” that you will press to walk slowly.
The gameplay of Modern Warfare 2 is somewhat slower compared to earlier versions. This is noticeable even in actions like reloading, activating killstreaks, or sliding.

In Pokémon GO you have had the opportunity to secure mysterious coins since the weekend. Now the reddit community is already hotly debating how this will continue. We at MeinMMO show you which three theories are highly regarded.
Which coins are we talking about? After the Community Day Classic with Dratini ended on Saturday, the PokéStops in the game gradually turned golden. If you spun one of these special stops, you could secure a new mysterious coin with a bit of luck. Meanwhile, you were pursued by a new Pokémon named Gierspenst.
Both, according to the information from Professor Willow and his friend, the biology teacher Jim, come from the Paldea region. While the first information about the new Pokémon has already been announced, there are still plenty of question marks about the new coins, especially regarding what they might be used for in the future.
This question has also been pondered by trainers in the reddit community, who have come up with various theories. We have summarized which ones they are below.
These 3 theories the trainers have about the golden coins
Many trainers in Pokémon GO have been primarily concerned with one question since Saturday: What will the new mysterious coins be used for in the game? This is also what the reddit user TheRealMrRogers wanted to know and asked the reddit community for corresponding theories.
And there are plenty of them. Among the multitude of ideas, however, three theories particularly stand out that seem plausible to many players.
Evolution item: Some trainers, like GeneralSecura, suspect that the mysterious coins represent an item that can be used to evolve Gierspenst. He writes on reddit: “A kind of evolution item for this mysterious coin Pokémon.”
A possible hint for this theory is that the coins are located in the item bag below the other evolution items. It is therefore conceivable that it is related to Gierspenst.
However, it is still not known whether the Pokémon has an evolution. It does possess two different forms: the wandering form, which you can currently see on the map, and a chest form. It is possible that the item could also be related to that.
New Wonder Box: Another potential function for the coins that some players could envision is for them to work like the Wonder Box with Meltan, giving you the chance to catch the new Pokémon.
According to current information, this Pokémon is slated for release in the new Pokémon games “Pokémon Scarlet” and “Pokémon Violet” for the Nintendo Switch. Starting in 2023, it should also be catchable in Pokémon GO in its wandering form, which is currently accompanying you in the game.
Similar to Meltan, it is possible that you can connect with the respective games and, by activating the coins, obtain Gierspenst spawns for a certain period.
The reddit user CarPars could even imagine that you need 100 coins to activate a kind of chest. He writes (via reddit.com): “Maybe for a kind of exchange into a box like with Melmetal. For example, you can unlock a chest every 100 coins?”
Here you can find out how to activate the Meltan Box with Pokémon Home:
Level Up: In Pokémon GO, trainers and Pokémon can currently reach a maximum level of 50. To bring Pokémon from level 40 to level 50, you currently need a lot of XL candy.
Trainer Cholo-Warrior can therefore imagine that the coins are needed to level up further. He writes (via reddit.com): “They will announce that the level cap will be increased to 55. And you will need these in addition to the XL candy.”
Since Niantic introduced a new item for leveling up from level 40 to level 50 also with XL candy, this would also be conceivable in the event of a new level expansion.
Further theories about the mysterious coins
In the reddit comments, you can read plenty of other theories that trainers could envision in relation to the new coins, and they vary in seriousness.
These range from the idea of a cryptocurrency to connections with the actual coins in the game, up to the return of free remote raid passes (via reddit.com):
ComplexityZX75: “It is a new cryptocurrency called ‘Confusion Coin’.”
Tiki_the_voice: “If we collect enough globally, they will bring back the daily remote raid passes.”
Da_Cow_: “Probably a way to turn a rare, non-tradable, non-shiny Pokémon into another without hope.”
hys_rag3: “Hopefully a new way to get Pokecoins.”
Beginning_Of-The_End: “When you reach 100 coins, you can exchange them for a PokéCoin for the shop.”
What function the new coins will actually have remains to be seen. As Niantic announced in the Pokémon GO blog, new information is expected in the next research report. However, it is still unknown when that will be.
Even though the golden stops have become somewhat rarer in the game, you can still secure one or another mysterious coin with a bit of luck and bridge the waiting time.
How do you like the new golden coins in Pokémon GO? Which of the theories could you envision? Or do you have a completely different assumption about what the coins might be about? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers on this topic.
A gamer bought a graphics card on Amazon. But instead, he received a message from the seller. The community warns him not to respond or pay. Because he will never see his money again, and certainly not a graphics card. MeinMMO explains what this scam is all about.
Christmas is just around the corner and many people are waiting for great deals around Black Friday. The search for bargains is also “worth it” for scammers who target the money of unsuspecting customers.
A popular scam on Amazon is regularly used, as a user on reddit has recently shown again.
A user complained on reddit that he had bought a graphics card on Amazon. But instead, he received an email stating that they could not send him the graphics card because his payment method was not supported.
On reddit, the community directly warns him of fraud. Because behind the message from Amazon lurks a nasty scam. A user says on reddit he should report the offer directly to protect other customers.
What kind of scam is this? Simply put, scammers try to lure you away from Amazon.
In their offers, the scammers often write that you should contact the seller via email.
Often, the purchase on Amazon is canceled by the seller, and you receive an email indicating that you should proceed with the purchase differently.
Or they provide you with a bank account number to transfer the corresponding amount.
In all cases, these are third-party sellers, so not Amazon itself, but sellers who only use Amazon as a platform.
No matter what these emails say, do not engage with the demands! Because they only want to achieve that you leave Amazon’s secure system and no longer pay directly through Amazon. Because you will not see your paid money again outside of Amazon, and you won’t receive the goods anyway.
Why do these offers look good? Often, these are shops that have been hijacked by hackers and are now being misused for fraud. For this reason, these shops initially appear trustworthy:
Often there are good reviews.
There is a Facebook page.
Phone numbers and an imprint that complies with German law.
However, there are a few simple ways to quickly recognize the fraud.
How can you recognize such offers? In most cases, the offers are too good to be true. An RTX 3080 for 500 euros? An RX 6700 XT for 300 euros? You should question such offers immediately. Additionally, there are further indications of such dangerous deals:
The imprint and linked websites are often poorly maintained and many years old. Facebook pages often have not received any posts for years.
The mentioned phone numbers are unreachable, or you end up somewhere else because the provider has since reassigned the number.
Often such scammers offer a whole range of articles at absurd prices, usually high-priced products. You might find graphics cards alongside dishwashers or branded bicycles.
Especially now, during the pre-Christmas season, many scammers try to get the money of careless customers. So be careful when buying your Christmas gifts, because with such supposed deals, you will only get a lot of trouble.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is temporarily free on Steam. If you get it now, you can even keep it permanently. Find out with MeinMMO if the game is worth it for you.
In Vermintide 2, you take on the role of one of 5 different heroes and face literal floods of enemies in various missions. In co-op with up to 4 players, you hack your way through rat-like Skaven, corrupted followers of foul Chaos gods, and wild beastmen using swords, arrows, and magic.

I enjoy fantasy worlds where things can get rough.
I’ve always been interested in Warhammer and Warcraft.
I like playing with friends against AI in PvE.
When I’m wading through the blood of literally hundreds of enemies, I feel at home.
It’s important to me to be able to try out a wide variety of play styles.
I enjoy character progression, loot, and roguelite games.
Games need to have a low entry difficulty but also a significant optional challenge for me.
I really enjoyed the gameplay of games like Left 4 Dead.
Dark humor and sharp banter between heroes are important details for me.
I HATE RATS! Like, really!
The Emperor is an incredibly cool dude, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a heretic. (a “yes” here is fundamentally enough for a download)
