Over 4600 people participated in our survey about Pokémon GO and shared how much money they spend on the mobile game. We will show you the results, reasoning, and discussions here.
What is it about? Pokémon GO is essentially a free mobile game that anyone can download and start playing right away. Now, nearly 5 years after its release, we want to know how much money you have already spent in the game. Because even though the base game is free, there are many ways to invest.
You participated diligently in our survey and voted on how significant your expenses are.
How much money do you spend on Pokémon GO
This is the result: On May 20 at 12:43 PM, a total of 4,626 people participated in the survey and voted. You can find our survey on spending money in Pokémon GO here.
Each user was allowed to only cast one vote. Since you can’t see exactly how much money you have already invested in Pokémon GO, we asked the participants for a rough estimate. Here are the results:
Between €1 and €50 – 1,025 votes, about 22%
Nothing at all – 920 votes, about 20%
Between €100 and €300 – 775 votes, about 17%
Between €50 and €100 – 585 votes, about 13%
Between €300 and €500 – 400 votes, about 9%
Between €500 and €1,000 – 400 votes, about 9%
Between €1,000 and €2,000 – 274 votes, about 5%
More than €2,000 – 247 votes, about 5%
What do you spend money on in Pokémon GO?
These are the options: In Pokémon GO, you can buy tickets for events in the real world for real money, outside of Corona. You also have the option to invest your money in the in-game currency PokéCoins. With the coins, you can purchase items such as backpack or Pokémon storage expansions, balls, lucky eggs for more XP, and more.
You can earn coins in the game, but there is a daily limit. It goes faster if you invest money.
There are always smaller “1-€ events”. These can only be purchased for real money and not unlocked with coins. This gives you access to special research and associated rewards.
This is what you say about it: Here in the comments on MeinMMO, you shared your opinions.
Zavarius writes (via MeinMMO): “4x €25 since 2016. Items & Pokemon storage were the main reasons. They won’t get more from me… No matter how much they try to ‘manipulate’ the egg and catch rates of new Pokémon (catch rate deliberately reduced for these, confirmed).”
Hauhart writes (via MeinMMO): “Over €1000. Then came the PoGo Fest 2020 and since then, after that and other disasters, spent 0 cents, I won’t support this anymore.”
erzi222 writes (via MeinMMO): “I have invested about €2, but only because I had already earned something through the Google Play survey and could buy the PokéCoins for €11 (?). I won’t invest anything in an outfit like Niantic otherwise!”
Wolve in the Wall writes (via MeinMMO): “Honestly, I have no idea, but I would guess not more than €300 (since launch 2016). However, since the Go Fest 2020, I haven’t spent a single euro more, as I’m just massively disappointed by this scam. I haven’t even played since late 2020.”
In our Facebook group, 144 people commented on the survey (via Facebook.com):
Anja E. writes: “I spend about €50 per month on it. I love the game, and I am very happy to support Niantic with my money, even if not everything goes smoothly. For me, it’s a win-win situation. No one is forcing me. Just be tolerant and let everyone live as they see fit!”
Svenja P. writes: “Over the years, I spent maybe €200, of which 50% were financed with the Google survey app.”
Andreas H. writes: “About €30 to €40 per month, my girlfriend spends a bit less.”
Pascal Z. writes: “€100-300 per month goes for raiding and hatching.”
Tobias K. writes: “€0.00 and I’ve been playing since day one with breaks.”
Jan P. writes: “I buy 2,500 or 5,200 coins monthly, additionally, a free raid pass daily and the €0.99 ticket every month for Community Day. Ticket for the Kanto Tour €13. I estimate about €30 on average, still receiving 50 coins daily.”
What do you think about the results of our survey? Are you surprised, and would you have expected a different result in first place, or does it match what you had in mind?
The Elder Scrolls Online has various bugs, but some of them are so funny that they entertain players more than annoy them. One of them is the notorious loot box mount bug, which lets you ride on a loot box when opening it. Players still demand this bug as a real mount. But can you intentionally trigger the bug? We at MeinMMO tried it out.
What kind of bug is this? The loot box mount bug has been known in ESO for a while and continues to amuse players. Essentially, the following happens:
Players open the menu to open a loot box and the notorious Khajiit Pacrooti appears. The cat sits on a loot box and praises in flowery language what might be inside and how little the box costs. You should finally seize the opportunity!
When you open the box, you get the items and can either continue playing or open more loot boxes, which makes Pacrooti very happy.
In some cases, however, the animation with Pacrooti on the loot box replaces the player’s avatar after they have finished opening the loot box.
The result is that you literally wobble around sitting as Pacrooti on the loot box!
Players celebrate the bug and want their own loot box mount
How does the community react? Just like with the “mount running bug”, the players of ESO are not upset, but rather pleased. Because the bug looks just delightfully silly. Especially after a player posted an incredible Mario Kart-style video on reddit , where he wobbles around as Pacrooti on the loot box through a Gramstorm in Skyrim and gets knocked out by a wild boar at the end.

In numerous comments, players are excited about this “bug” and demand “we want a loot box mount too!”.
This is how you can ride on loot boxes yourself: If you want to ride on a loot box yourself, we at MeinMMO have good news for you. Our ESO expert and streamer MiezeMelli (via YouTube.com) took the hints under the reddit video to heart and tried to reconstruct the bug. In the embedded video here, you will learn how to place Pacrooti as an item and later how to make him wobble around.

As described above, this is how you can get your own Pacrooti loot box mount. With it, you can pass the time until the developers at ZeniMax might eventually relent and grant you a “real” loot box mount. It wouldn’t be surprising, given that silly hobbyhorses and soulless stones as pets have already made their way into the game.

Fortnite has now launched its next crossover event. This time there is a collaboration with the NBA (National Basketball Association). Each NBA basketball team will get its own skin. This is likely to bring in a lot of money for developer Epic Games.
What is this crossover? The crossover is a collaboration between the F2P game Fortnite and the big NBA, the US basketball league.
NBA crossover is likely to bring in big bucks – experience shows it
Why is this event particularly worthwhile for Epic Games? While Fortnite is already a very successful game that brings in a lot of money, the idea of bringing NBA jerseys to Fortnite will boost that even further.
This is clearly evidenced by what was already earned during the NFL crossover: Such events with big partners generate significantly more revenue.
How much money did the NFL crossover make back then? Thanks to a lawsuit between Epic Games and Apple and a report from forbes.com, we know that the event likely brought in over 50 million US dollars – in just 2 months. (via forbes.com)
Only other events like Star Wars or Marvel come close to such dimensions, which, however, had several crossover events over a longer period.
What is the lawsuit about? Epic rebelled against Apple and Google in mid-2020. The creators of Fortnite introduced in an update direct purchase for V-Bucks, which allows bypassing app store fees. Apple and Google then responded by removing Fortnite from their app stores. Epic then sued both tech giants, attacking Apple with a video that appears to everyone logging into Fortnite.
That’s why the crossover is likely to be just as successful: As the NBA is similarly popular in the USA, Epic Games is likely to expect a profit in similar dimensions. The crossover could even be more successful, as the NBA is more internationally popular than the NFL.
The NFL is the higher-grossing league (via de.statistica.com), but basketball is significantly more popular internationally and ranks third according to mostpopularsports.net, behind cricket in second place and football in first place. (via mostpopularsports.net)
When does the crossover start? It has been ongoing since May 19.
This is what the NBA skins look like.
What exactly does the event bring?
Here’s what’s included: Since the NBA consists of 30 basketball teams, there will be 30 jersey variants accordingly. However, this does not mean that you have to purchase the 30 skins individually.
In the game itself, there are 6 different skin variants, male and female. You can then customize them to the jerseys of your desired team.
Additional to that, there will be emote packs, a back accessory, and special locker bundles. These were put together by individual NBA players and are available in the item shop. For more information about what else is included, you can find on the official Fortnite website. (via epicgames.com)
Sports skins are especially popular with power gamers
What’s special about the skins: In the past, “football skins” that operate on a similar principle were largely purchased by power gamers. Because you get a convertible skin in many variations, which you only have to buy once. From a “cost/benefit” perspective, sports skins are therefore attractive.
Lord Denathrius is the current final boss in WoW: Shadowlands. But he is being weakened. A deadly ability is now much weaker.
Although the relevance of the current raid “Castle Nathria” is slowly coming to an end with the onset of Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination, Blizzard is changing the final boss once again. A significant nerf ensures that Denathrius will likely be defeated by even more players soon.
What will be changed? After players are affected by the ability “Hand of Destruction”, they are immune to the effects of Crescendo for a brief moment. They cannot be knocked back by the spell.
Crescendo is an ability triggered in heroic and mythic mode when players kill one of Denathrius’ servants in phase 2. After a brief delay, an impact occurs for each player. Those who do not dodge take damage and are knocked back far.
What does this mean? Some impact. In heroic and mythic difficulty, Crescendo in combination with Hand of Destruction has been one of the main reasons for players leaving early. Players not only had to dodge Crescendo, but also perfectly time the killing of the Cabalists so it did not overlap with Hand of Destruction.
An overlap could lead to all players being pulled by Hand of Destruction to a spot where a projectile from Crescendo hits at the exact same time. This, in turn, knocks players in random directions – often sending them off the fight platform to their immediate death.
As this threat has now been drastically reduced, more players should experience this phase of the encounter and have more combat resurrections available for the later parts.
Or simply put: With one deadly combination of abilities less, the encounter should become significantly easier for many groups.
More news about World of Warcraft can be found here:
What does this mean for players? For many guilds currently working on heroic or mythic Denathrius, this could provide the decisive impetus to finally take down the boss of Revendreth. This should encourage some guilds to put in a strong effort before Patch 9.1 to achieve the corresponding success.
Do you think the nerf is good and sensible? Or was the encounter already far too easy?

With Odyssey, the PC version of the space game Elite Dangerous has received a new expansion. With it, you can engage in heated shooter battles on planetary surfaces. We’ll take a look at how the addon is received by players.
What does Odyssey offer? One could say that Odyssey turns Elite Dangerous into almost a new game. It is possible to land on planets, exit your ship, and explore the landscape on foot. Additionally, there are missions that you must complete on the planets.
These missions lead you to bases where you need to steal certain goods. Of course, you will encounter guardians along the way. This creates fast-paced and action-packed shooter battles.
Since when has the addon been available? Odyssey has been available to players since May 19. It is a paid expansion that you can acquire for 34.99 euros. Initially, it’s only for PC. The version for Xbox One and PS4 is expected in the fall.
What is the problem with Odyssey? The addon is currently dividing the community. So many new features have been added that the Odyssey version is incompatible with the previous Horizons version – unless owners of Odyssey switch to a Horizons mode and forgo the new features.
However, this division of the community is not expected to last. The developers have already indicated that they want to reunite all players with the release of the console version of the new addon.
How is the expansion received? Odyssey is currently struggling with some launch issues. Right at launch, players initially could not access the servers. However, when they finally could, there were reports of severe lags. There are also said to be ongoing issues with the Horizons mode. Currently, maintenance work on the servers seems to be happening continuously to address these problems.
Those who have managed to play report an impressive experience. Landings on the planets, exploration, and the shooter engagements feel very good. All that’s needed are optimizations to ensure everything runs smoothly. Here are some voices from the community:
OLD JOJO is thrilled (via Steam): “An excellent competitor for Star Citizen. Just needs optimization.”
CMDR_Rayven_Niunda writes (via reddit): “I’m impressed by how good the ‘On-Foot’ gameplay is, the handling, and the shooting, the use of tools. In my opinion, Elite Dangerous has always had the best ship mechanics. Although I didn’t expect the ‘On-Foot’ gameplay to be perfect, it exceeds my expectations.”
OZeT complains about performance (via Steam): “The performance is crap, I want a refund!”
AMDDesign has a specific point of criticism (via reddit): “The UI is terrible. I’m really not picky when it comes to UIs in games, I can handle most bizarre HUDs and menus, but man. Elite Dangerous surely has one of the most convoluted and chaotic UIs I’ve ever seen.”
In summary, it can be said that Odyssey still has a few issues that the developers are working on. When it runs smoothly, the shooter elements are a lot of fun.
Have you had a chance to try the Odyssey addon for Elite Dangerous? What do you think about it?
Since May 19, you can play the Pre-Patch of WoW BC Classic. Many players have had problems installing or updating addons since then. Here you can learn how to get new addons and use the WoWUp addon manager.
Why were updates not working? With the Pre-Patch, Blizzard introduced two separate versions of Classic: WoW Classic and Burning Crusade Classic. This also changed the folders in which the games are located.
Burning Crusade is now simply “Classic” and the original Classic has been renamed “Classic_era” in the folders. Your old addons are now in the wrong folder and do not work properly there.
You can still play both versions, but when installing addons, you need to make sure to use the correct version of the game and the correct folder:
Retail WoW is on version 9.0.5 and the folder is called “_retail_”
Burning Crusade is on version 2.5.1 and the folder is called “_classic_”
Classic is on version 1.13.7 and the folder is called “_classic_era_”
Some addon authors have not yet adapted to BC Classic and there are no new versions yet. Addon managers like WoWUp had to adjust as well. However, if you follow our guide, everything should work without any issues.
What are addons? With addons, you can make various mechanics in the game easier or acquire additional functions. They allow you to move your action bars freely, change enemy nameplates, or check your damage and that of the group. Addons are particularly popular in dungeons and raids to make certain boss mechanics easier to play.
Installing Addons for BC Classic with WoWUp
What is WoWUp? The new addon manager appeared shortly before Shadowlands and is now very popular. It is an alternative to the established Curse client, but does not work with the somewhat unpopular Overwolf in the community.
With WoWUp, you can install new addons and uninstall or update old ones. The manager retrieves data from both the Curse website and other websites and the authors themselves.
WoWUp provides you an overview of your addons. In the bottom right, you can update the manager if you already have it.
How to use WoWUp: At WoWUp.io, you will find the current version of the manager, 2.3.0. You absolutely need this version to manage your addons properly. Install WoWUp and let it scan your folders.
Normally, WoWUp should automatically find your WoW installation. However, you can also search manually via “Settings.” For new addons in BC Classic, follow these steps:
Select “Classic” in the dropdown at the top left – this stands for Burning Crusade
In the “Install Addons” tab, search for addons you want
Install the addons via the corresponding button
Under “My Addons,” you will find installed addons and the ability to update them
If you played the “old Classic” before BC Classic, you need to check the versions of your addons in WoWUp. If version 1.13.7 is still indicated for the addon, you should uninstall it and look for the corresponding output for version 2.5.1.
Installing Addons for BC Classic without WoWUp
If you prefer to install addons manually, you can also do this without a manager. You need to download the addons from their respective sources and then extract them into your addon folder. You can find it for BC Classic under the following path:
[…]World of Warcraft_classic_InterfaceAddOns
You can obtain addons from databases or from the providers themselves. Many authors upload their works directly to Github or distribute them through the Curse website. Just make sure that the version of the addon is correct. You can explicitly filter for addons for version 2.5.1 on Curse (via Curseforge.com).
Many players are currently looking for addons they want to install in BC Classic. The most sought-after addons are listed here for you.
Auction House Addons like Auctioneer
What do the addons do? With these addons, you can improve your handling in the auction house. In Classic and Burning Crusade, many of the quality changes in the auction house that Retail WoW already has are missing.
The addons allow you to manage your auctions, set them up and cancel them more easily, and provide a better overview. You can also scan the databases of all auctions and gain insight into prices, making it easier to filter.
These addons are available: Auctioneer is one of the most popular auction house addons, but according to our information, it does not have a current and fully functioning version for BC Classic. However, there are three alternatives that have received an update or a fix:
The addons also change the appearance of the auction house. Here: TSM.
Currently, there may still be issues with all addons. Some players report that other auctions are set at absurd prices in the auction house, which confuses the addons. When testing, we had the least problems with TradeSkillMaster.
You can find Auctionator, AuctionBuddy, and TSM on WoWUp as well. Auctioneer is currently only available through Curse (via Curseforge.com).
Questie – Addon for easier leveling
In BC Classic, you are not shown where to go for a quest. When you accept a task, you need to read the text to find out where it is exactly. However, you can bypass this with Questie.
Questie essentially takes on the role that the map has in Retail WoW today: The addon shows you where to find quest mobs or accept new quests. This makes leveling easier, especially if you don’t want to constantly search online for solutions or don’t know the quests from memory.
You can find Questie on WoWUp or directly via the website (via Github.com). In the official Questie Discord, you can also get help with the addon and chat with other users (via Discord.com).
Questie shows you where you have quests to complete.
Bagnon for better bags
With Bagnon, you can merge all your bags and organize your inventory more easily. Furthermore, the addon improves the overview of your bank and allows you to see what is there from anywhere.
Especially with many larger bags, the overview is greatly improved. But even on a new character with few bags, Bagnon is useful as it highlights important or useless items. This makes it easier to sort items.
Currently, there is no version of Bagnon for Burning Crusade, but the Classic version should work. However, you cannot download it via WoWUp. You can find Bagnon directly on Curse (via Curseforge.com).
Bagnon merges all bags and the keyring. With the command “/bagnon bank” you can see your bank from anywhere.
You can find countless other addons at WoWUp and Curse that you can already use. If your favorite addons have not received an update yet, you should check back frequently. Many authors are still working on new versions, and certainly, several more addons will be added by the release of BC Classic. BC Classic will be released on June 2. You can find more information about it in our special:
The Twitch streamer Trainwreck (30) is currently gambling on Twitch. A viewer asks him to stop, and he can hear quite a bit. Trainwreck explains to him that he has 7 million US dollars in cryptocurrency set aside even after the Bitcoin crisis.
This is the situation:
Trainwreck is something like “Twitch for advanced users”. He is a variety streamer with about 12,000 viewers, playing games like Among Us, Call of Duty: Warzone, Rust, or gambling. He is also known for his “Just Chatting” streams.
Trainwreck claims he had 15 million US dollars in cryptocurrencies and lost around 8 million dollars during the current crisis.
Now a viewer has advised him to stop gambling on Twitch – to which Trainwreck reacted irritably.
“I still have cool 6 or 7 million US dollars after the crypto drop”
This is what Trainwreck says: On May 19, Trainwreck played online slot machines on Twitch when a viewer asked him to “Stop Gambling” and to stop gambling. Trainwreck responded angrily:
Stop gambling? Why? Why should I do that? Can I be honest with you, you dickhead? Before the crash, I had 15 million dollars in crypto, now I still have cool 6 or 7 million. Fuck you, damn axe. I have more money in crypto than your whole family combined. Fuck you and let me gamble in peace.
Trainwreck
Trainwreck then explained that he is financially secure and does not want any interference in his financial situation. If he wants to gamble his money away, that is his right.
People who are not successful should not tell people like him what to do with their money.
He would be happy to show his bank statement to prove that he is financially secure.

What does he mean by “drop in cryptocurrencies”? The cryptocurrency Bitcoin has seen enormous value increases in recent years but suffered some setbacks in the last few days:
First, tech pioneer Elon Musk tweeted that Bitcoin would no longer be accepted as payment at Tesla, because the energy required to create a Bitcoin is, too high. Musk publicly experienced environmental guilt.
Furthermore, China has distanced itself further from cryptocurrencies and warned against them.
As a result, cryptocurrencies briefly crashed. However, the downward trend has already stabilized somewhat. Over the years, the value increase in the most successful cryptocurrencies has been immense, amounting to several thousand percent.
Legendary is the story that on May 22, 2010, an early Bitcoin enthusiast ordered two pizzas and paid 10,000 Bitcoins for them. Today, those 10,000 Bitcoins would be worth 325.6 million euros.
Twitch streamers are into cryptocurrencies; many have made a lot of money
This is behind it: Trainwreck shows a certain irony: The same characteristics that can lead you to lose a lot of money in “online gambling” have enabled people like him to achieve enormous financial resources through risky investments in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin in recent years.
The completely irresponsible handling of money from a conservative perspective, by investing in a “fantasy currency,” has made Trainwreck and some others connected to gaming and technology wealthy in recent years.
They are now immune to financial advice from others.
The German Twitch streamer MontanaBlack is also heavily invested in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The example of Trainwreck also clearly shows that Twitch streamers should by no means serve as role models for excursions into virtual casinos. When a millionaire like Trainwreck gambles a few thousand US dollars, it’s a tiny part of his total fortune. If one of his viewers were to emulate him and gamble away the same amount, it would probably be a large portion of his wealth.
Here in Germany, we had the debate about “gambling on Twitch” as early as 2019 and 2020, when streamers like Knossi or MontanaBlack were enormously successful with it. The German Twitch streamers have largely stopped these casino streams due to new regulations.
In the English-speaking Twitch community, the debate about “gambling on Twitch” is just starting to pick up speed. Casino streams are trending and on the rise.
Trainwreck lost several million US dollars in market value overnight, but that’s nothing compared to the head of an MMORPG studio:
In Call of Duty: Warzone recently had a major tournament for $100,000. Many top players were invited by pro Nadeshot. But instead of an exciting tournament among the best Warzone players, there was a shooting gallery for hackers who ruined the fun for everyone. This causes a lot of frustration for the professionals, who are slowly ashamed of the game.
What happened at the tournament? Pro Nadeshot recently hosted a major tournament called “Nadeshot Warzone Invitational.” The prize pool is $100,000, and numerous professionals were invited. Even the well-known streamer Tfue announced his grand return to Warzone.
However, instead of exciting battles among the best players in the scene, there were many unpleasant frustrating moments. Because the matches were plagued by numerous hackers and cheaters. Even top players had little chance against wallhackers and aimbotters, and the whole event turned into a huge frustration. Unfortunately, it was not an option to just sink the cheaters in the sea. Just like at Nadeshot’s tournament, the participants of an event by pro Vikkstar faced similar issues.
Professionals are furious – “I regret promoting this sh** game!”
This is how the professionals react: After these disheartening experiences, the frustrated professionals are venting on Twitter and finding strong words about the state of the game.
Well-known Warzone player Bobby Poff writes on Twitter: “We had brazen aimbotters who ruined our day. I’m really ashamed that I ever promoted this sh** game!”

As for tournament organizer Vikkstar, there is only disappointment and exhaustion:
I encountered numerous brazen hackers in the competition today and was killed in the grand final by someone who had glitched under the map. I’m being honest with you, Call of Duty and Raven Software. This is getting really exhausting. I’m sure other professionals feel the same way.

Cheaters have always been a huge problem for honest players in Call of Duty Warzone. Often, the hackers get away unscathed and ruin the fun for everyone. However, the developers seem to be gradually catching up. A pleasant example was recently seen in a match with top streamers like NICKMERCS and TimTheTatman. There, a cheater had a lot of fun cheating but was banned in the middle of the match after the streamers’ complaint!

The podium vehicle Freecrawler
What’s new: You can now find the vehicle Freecrawler on the podium at the casino in GTA Online. It is an off-road vehicle in a rather unusual style.
The Freecrawler offers 4 doors and 4 seats and belongs to the SUV category in GTA Online. Usually, you would have to pay 597,000 GTA dollars if you want to buy it at Legendary Motorsport.
Top speed and acceleration are in the middle range and not particularly high. However, the Freecrawler scores with relatively good handling.
You can win the vehicle by spinning the lucky wheel. This can be done once a day for free and offers you a chance to win the car. With this method, it is said you always win the car in GTA Online.
What do you think about the current bonus week? Are there any contents that you definitely want to buy in the offer, or are you taking the opportunity to fill your accounts with the new money bonuses?
Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments how and if you plan to take advantage of the new event week of May 20.
On Steam, you can play the Free2Play MMORPG Therais Book. We at MeinMMO will tell you what the online role-playing game has to offer and how it is being received.
What is Therais Book? The MMORPG basically offers what you would expect from an online role-playing game:
An open world
Guilds
PvP
Quests
Pets that fight alongside you and improve
Rare items that you need to search for
Fights against boss monsters
You can download Therais Book as a Free2Play MMORPG for free via Steam. However, the game is still in the early access phase.
What is so special about the game? Therais Book is developed by a single person. The developer works on the game in their spare time but has a “real” job as well.

The trailer gives you an insight into the MMORPG Therais Book.
A One-Man Team Develops an MMORPG
How does the developer manage it all alone? An MMORPG toolset for the Unity engine is used. Therefore, the developer does not have to program and create everything from scratch, but relies on a toolkit.
With this, they create the world, quests, and everything that goes with it.
How is the MMORPG being received? The general ratings are at 71% (based on 35 votes, as of May 20 at 9:30 AM). The 19 ratings from the last 30 days are at 68% (via Steam).
However, there are very few players online. The peak since release was 10 simultaneous active players (via SteamDB).
Therais Book is doing quite well, even if the number of players has been very low so far. Here are some opinions summarized for you:
Dog writes (via Steam): “I was quite fascinated when I found out that one person made this game. So I tried it without expecting much. But sheesh, this is a really impressive MMORPG.”
Sanctum elaborates (via Steam): “Fun and interesting early access game. There are some bugs with the sound effects, minimal content, and very little crafting, but it’s a solid start. A big thumbs up for the developer.”
BawassHoG explains (via Steam): “Great free game. There’s still little to do at the moment, but it has a nice concept.”
J Dub says (via Steam): “I played it for about 30 minutes. There’s understandably not much to do at the moment. But I like the commitment of a one-man developer and I’m curious to see what else comes from this project.”
omguembes is somewhat disappointed with the limited scope (via Steam): “At first glance, an interesting game. But after two hours, where I leveled up to level 11 and walked around, there’s nothing left to do. And there are a few glitches that need to be fixed.”
What do you think of Therais Book? Is it an MMORPG that you would consider checking out?
In Destiny 2, you should definitely utilize the Exotic Deathbringer. Thanks to the new catalyst from Season 14, the rocket launcher is one of the strongest options in PvE. How does this unusual weapon compare to the well-known meta weapons?
This is what the Exotic is about: The Exotic Deathbringer has been in the game since Shadowkeep (2019). The special thing about the rocket launcher is that it is actually more like a mortar. You fire high above your enemies, and the projectile splits into several homing rounds that slowly rain down from the sky and deal more damage depending on the distance traveled.
This is new now: Many players were not satisfied with the unusual gameplay of the Exotic. However, the new Exotic masterwork catalyst from Season 14 now makes it much easier to utilize, allowing the weapon to reach its full damage potential faster.
However, since you need quite a bit of space above your enemy and often cannot even see the enemy when you fire, need to hold the trigger down for a long time, and the mini Nova bombs sometimes seek other targets instead of the boss, we could only recommend it for enthusiasts.
This is why it’s so strong now: The new masterwork catalyst changes only one thing, but it leads to a whole chain of positive developments:
In-game description of the catalyst: ‘Accelerates the reaching of the full potential of Dark Descent.’
The Void spheres now need to cover less distance to deal high damage.
The reduced distance is massive: you now only need to fire a few meters above the enemy. Keep in mind, previously you couldn’t even see the enemy at the bottom of the screen if you wanted to deal the juicy extra damage (the numbers are yellow instead of white).
This also means that the 7 projectiles land more accurately on the enemy where they should. Previously, the distance could be slightly misjudged, and the targeting sometimes didn’t seem to work because the distance was a bit too great.
You can now see your enemies and still reach maximum damage easily
Find and level the catalyst for Deathbringer in the Season of the Splicer
How to get the catalyst: Finding the catalyst is the easy part. The upgrade item drops randomly after completing activities. Many Guardians report that they received it after the first strike or crucible match in Season 14. So check the description of Deathbringer to see if you already have the catalyst.
Remember: you can only obtain exotic catalysts for Exotics that you already own.
What is an exotic catalyst? Exotic weapons can unleash their full potential through so-called masterwork catalysts. Exotics have individual catalysts, short for the “catalyst,” that provide tailored bonuses for the weapon. However, not all exotic weapons can become masterworks yet – so Guardians are always excited when a new catalyst comes into the game. More info can be found here: All masterwork catalysts in Destiny 2 and how to obtain them
Quickly turn into a masterwork: To unlock the bonus from the catalyst and turn Deathbringer into a masterwork, you only need to defeat enemies with the rocket launcher. You should defeat a proud 400 enemies with the Exotic; only then will the catalyst be fully leveled (via light.gg).
You can do this in PvE alongside other activities; it will take a considerable amount of time. Or you can farm specifically:
Grinding goes particularly quickly in the raid ‘Last Wish’ from Forsaken.
Here, hordes of weak enemies await you; if you run out of ammo, you can quickly respawn and refill your power ammo and super at the raid banner before the door.
Hunters can accelerate the leveling process with the Arrow super and the exotic boots Orpheus Rigs.
Most Guardians already have the catalyst – now you should level it
Why rocket launchers are particularly worthwhile in Season 14
Thanks to the catalyst, Deathbringer is now the strongest exotic rocket launcher in terms of a single shot – and finally also easily usable for every Guardian. But the entire genre benefits tremendously from the mods from the seasonal artifact in the Season of the Splicer.
‘Explosion Radius’ charges you with Light on rocket launcher kills and costs only 1 energy.
‘Silver Bullet’ increases the damage of rocket launchers by 20% and allows faster reloads – the otherwise expensive mod costs only 1 energy in the artifact, and you can equip it multiple times in your armor to increase the effect (up to 3x).
‘Rocket Launcher Loader’ significantly reduces the reload time and costs only 1 energy.
‘War Spirit’s Grace’ causes War Spirit Cells to appear during Void explosions – including with Deathbringer – costing 3 energy.
‘Energy Accelerator’ increases the damage of legendary rocket launchers with the perk Chain Reaction and costs 2 energy.
You have now learned why Deathbringer is said to be so great thanks to the catalyst and how you can use mods to get even more from the weapon. But how does this Exotic compare to other heavyweights in PvE? This is exactly what the well-known Destiny expert Ehroar tested (via YouTube):
Here are the numbers:
Deathbringer deals 154,950 damage when all 7 Void spheres hit with full damage. If you receive no extra damage, all charges together deal 86,450 damage.
The second 7 spheres from Deathbringer still deal 112,500 damage after loading, and after 4 rockets (so 28 Void spheres) the damage is a strong 89,500 DPS.
The Complaint is an exotic sword and the most popular Exotic from Season 13. For good reason, the burst damage is very high and you have plenty of ammo. The full Complaints combo deals 189,750 damage, which corresponds to 81,750 DPS. Keep in mind that the Complaint was slightly nerfed in damage with Season 14.
Xenophage is probably the feel-good Exotic and is actually usable in every situation. However, the DPS value of the LMG is only 48,150.
Other legendary rocket launchers with good rolls deal about 80,000 to nearly 90,000 burst damage. The DPS value is around 60,000.
The Fourth Horseman achieves even higher DPS values than Deathbringer. However, the shotgun is mostly hardly practically useful since you have to be really close to the enemy, and the ammo runs out almost immediately.
Did you ever think that Deathbringer would be promoted by experts like this? Do you already have the catalyst in your inventory and are you now leveling it quickly to get a look at the new best Exotic rocket launcher?

The big mid-season update of Call of Duty: Warzone is online. With the update 1.37, two iconic action heroes from the 80s are coming to the game – and they will even be immortalized with a few of their own locations on the map “Verdansk ’84”. MeinMMO shows you all the information.
What’s up? Season 3 shifts into the next gear and brings the mid-season update for Call of Duty: Warzone. The developers from Raven Software have now released the complete patch notes. Included are:
Fresh locations on Verdansk ’84
“80s Action Heroes” event
New weapon – the ballistic knife
Killstreak – combat bow
Minigun and attack helicopter
New game mode “Power Grab”
Weapon balancing
Bug fixes
Update May 20: The article was published on May 19 and has been updated by us after the release of the patch notes. Under the new heading “Warzone: Update 1.37 – Patch Notes” you will find the most important adjustments.
[toc]
We include the mid-season roadmap here for you:
CoD Warzone: All information about update 1.37
When is the update coming? The new Warzone update is online, the content is fully available.
How large is the update? According to the developers, the update sizes on various platforms are as follows:
When does Season 4 start? Season 4 is expected to start on June 16. On this day, the current Battle Pass of Season 3 ends – which has always been the deadline for the start of the new season in recent seasons.
Warzone: Update 1.37 – Patch Notes
What changes does the update bring? The patch notes show some bug fixes and weapon adjustments.
Overall, the developers adjusted the base values of 6 weapons, changed some attachments and scopes of the “Cold War” snipers. Furthermore, there was an adjustment to the “special ammunition” – the field upgrade has been criticized a lot lately.
For many changes, especially with the weapons, the developers also write their motivation. We show you the changes and a glimpse of the thoughts behind the adjustments.
Warzone: Update 1.37 – Balancing adjustments
Balance adjustments weapons
AK-47u – Rework: Less range and bullet speed, but more mobility and a higher multiplier for neck damage. It is intended to be a submachine gun that rewards risky gameplay with high damage.
Neck multiplier increased from 1.0 to 1.4
Sprint-to-fire time increased by 20%
Bullet speed reduced by 25%
Maximum damage range reduced by 25%
PPSh-41 – Buff: Receives a small damage buff and is expected to be significantly stronger, according to the developers.
Maximum damage increased from 27 to 28
Maximum damage range increased by 3.8%
M82 – Rework: Is supposed to differ more from the DMRs – receives a lower rate of fire but more penetration power. Further buffs may follow
Bullet speed increased by 14%
Extremities multiplier increased from 0.9 to 1.0
Rate of fire reduced
LW3-Tundra – Buff: The developers know that the weapon is strong but suffers from some weaknesses, making it unpopular. A small buff is intended to improve its effectiveness.
Target stability increased
Swiss K31 – Buff: The mobile sniper rifle is supposed to perform better in mid to long-range combat and has received important boosts.
Flinch resistance significantly increased
ADS speed slightly increased
Target stability slightly improved
ZRG 20mm – Buff/Nerf: The ZRG is very powerful and has the largest bullets among firearms in Warzone. The developers write that the weapon should feel that way too.
Bullet penetration increased
Chest damage multiplier increased from 1.25 to 1.7
Stomach damage multiplier increased from 1.15 to 1.25
Extremities multiplier increased from 0.9 to 1.0
ADS speed reduced by 4%
Movement speed reduced by 2%
Bullet speed reduced by 2%
Movement while aiming reduced by 1%
What about the special ammunition? The developers mention in the patch notes that they have recognized how strong the field upgrade is. With special ammunition, you get 30 rounds with increased damage in the magazine, which slightly increases your recoil. In a 1vs1 fight, the player with special ammunition often wins.
Raven does not want to remove the field upgrade, and it should continue to be part of Warzone. However, the spawn rate has now been drastically reduced, and the advantage is no longer so widespread but should be something special.
What happened to the attachments? There was a very interesting change to the weapon attachments. The muzzle attachment “suppressor” should become a decent alternative to the Agency or GRU muzzle brake:
Muzzle attachment suppressor
Now increases bullet speed instead of reducing the value
Improves ADS speed
Improves sprint-to-fire speed
This should particularly benefit close combat weapons that could not utilize some of the values of the Agency/GRU suppressor. However, the suppressors were unrivaled and thus set for the close combat weapons.
In addition, there were adjustments to some laser attachments from Cold War, and the target stability of the airborne/GRU elastic grips has been increased. If you want to look at the adjustments in detail, you can find the link to the English patch notes – via ravensoftware.com.
Warzone: Update 1.37 – Bug Fixes
What bug fixes have been made? A lot has happened here as well, and the developers were able to fix several bugs from Warzone:
More repairs to the map Verdansk ’84, so players cannot unintentionally leave the map
A glitch with infinite gas masks has been fixed
Activision ID was not always displayed correctly when spectating a player
Looting mission at the location “Summit” has been repaired
Loadout drops should no longer fall through the salt pools of the salt mine
LW3-Tundra – fixed graphic bug with the weapon model
Swiss K31 – glitch could give unintended one-shots with special ammunition
Bullfrog – sometimes had an excessively high bullet speed
CARV.2 – barrels did not always give the correct values in matches
FARA 83 – 50-round magazine is now also a 60-round magazine in the menu
Mid-Season is dedicated to action heroes
Action hero content of Season 3
Fresh locations on Verdansk ’84
“80s Action Heroes” event
New operators John McClane and Rambo
What are these new locations? The map will be changed in several places and will temporarily receive a few locations related to the action hero event. The map changes will apparently be reversed after the end of the event or the season.
In Downtown, you will find the “Nakatomi Plaza” during mid-season 3 right next to the Parliament. The skyscraper is from the famous action movie “Die Hard”. It is said to be the largest building in Verdansk and offers 5 walkable levels. Additionally, you can complete small missions in the building that are entirely in line with the film template. MeinMMO author and “Die Hard” fan Jürgen Horn is now truly excited about Warzone.
At several places on the map, camps are to be replaced by “survival camps.” Here there is a load of equipment, and the developers would like to remind players of “Rambo II.” You can also complete a small mission here – there are “dog tags” to find, and if you collect a certain number, there is a chance for greater rewards.
The third new location is a “CIA Outpost.” In a hangar at the airport, the CIA has settled in to find the fugitive Rambo. You can presumably exchange your found “dog tags” for equipment. This will likely involve air support.
The Nakatomi Plaza in the middle of Verdansk.
What type of event is this? Mid-Season 3 is themed around two action heroes from the 80s: Rambo and John McClane (from Die Hard). Both are coming to the game with the update as operators and can be used as full-fledged characters – however, you will need to spend money if you want them.
Additionally, an event similar to the Eagle event at the start of Season 3 starts. You can complete up to 9 tasks in Warzone and Cold War respectively and receive a reward for each completed task. If you complete all 9 tasks, there is a special weapon blueprint as a reward. The event runs for 14 days until June 3.
We will include the trailer for the hero content here for you:

What is this new weapon? The ballistic knife is a melee weapon with a twist. You can use the knife normally in close combat, but you can also fire the blades at ranges. Although the range is limited, with some practice, kills are possible even at medium distances. However, to carry the knife, you need to sacrifice a weapon slot and take the ballistic knife as a secondary weapon.
What is this new killstreak? The combat bow will be part of Warzone. You can find the bow as loot and effectively target opponents and vehicles with it. The longer you draw back the bow, the farther the burning arrow will fly.
What is this new game mode? With “Power Grab,” a battle royale is coming to Warzone that brings a kind of killstreak system. You can collect “dog tags” for kills, completed missions, or find them as loot, and with each collected tag, you will progress up a reward ladder. The higher you climb, the better bonuses are available for the match. This includes regular items like killstreaks or self-revivals, but also really strong equipment like the “Enhanced Gas Mask” or the powerful “Specialist Perk.”
Additionally, the first play area circle closes faster and is significantly smaller than in normal matches. Overall, there are only 5 circles, and the Gulag is eliminated. You can revive your teammates through buy stations or with the “dog tags.” The “Power Grab” mode will apparently be introduced in the coming weeks with different team sizes.
What about the minigun and the attack helicopter? For the duration of the event – and possibly beyond – the minigun is making a return. The exact sources for large weapons are not yet known. Furthermore, the attack helicopter was seen in the trailer for the Rambo event. However, the helicopters were not mentioned in the blog for the mid-season. It’s quite possible that the cheating helicopters won’t make it into the game again.
Season 3 is revving up, and the mid-season update looks quite promising. Especially the changes on the map and the small new gameplay elements in the battle royale of Warzone could bring some excitement to the game. Pack your meta loadouts for Warzone in Season 3, tie your headband a little too tight around your temples, and follow in Rambo’s footsteps in Verdansk.

The starting island of the Draenei in WoW Classic – but in modern graphics. This is how it could look in Unreal Engine 4.
World of Warcraft has been around for several years now, and many of the areas have visually aged significantly. Time and again, talented WoW fans pick an area and recreate it in a more modern engine. Now, with the launch of Burning Crusade Classic, this has also happened for the Azuremyst Islands.
What are the Azuremyst Islands? Essentially, the Azuremyst Islands are the starting area of the Draenei. Originally, the island was inhabited only by a few elves and otherwise by nature, but the Draenei’s spaceship, the Exodar, crashed there. As a result, various crystals infused with arcane energy spread across the island, polluting the forests and creatures and causing numerous problems.
As freshly landed Draenei, you try to find other survivors, explore the (foreign to Draenei) world of Azeroth, and simultaneously address the problems caused by the crash.

What kind of video is this? The video shows a part of the Azuremyst Islands in a stunning new look. Thanks to Unreal Engine 4 and a lot of work, the WoW area now has much more detail and a significantly more realistic appearance. The comic graphics have been traded for more realism, making the game world likely fit better in more modern games.
The forest environment is covered with many purple crystals, and in the background, the Exodar looms.
More cool examples of World of Warcraft in modern graphics can be found here:
Who created the video? The creator of the video is YouTuber SpazzGibbon (via YouTube.com). He has previously tackled several projects using Unreal Engine 3 and 4, but the Azuremyst Islands stand out significantly. He himself says he worked on the project for nearly a month in preparation for Burning Crusade Classic.
Hopefully, there were no expectations disappointed when he could see the direct comparison between in-game and his video graphics.
What do you think of this version of the Azuremyst Islands? Breathtakingly beautiful and a great work? Or does it just look wrong?

MMORPGs offer their players various systems when it comes to classes. Which one do you prefer to play?
Here’s the deal: The idea behind classes and class systems has existed in RPGs since their origins in pen-and-paper games. You take on the role of a warrior, mage, or rogue to fight against monsters and beasts.
This concept transitioned almost seamlessly into MMORPGs as well. Since the earliest days of the genre, there have been either fixed classes or systems where players could assemble the skills for their characters.
Over time, these systems have become increasingly diverse. There are various types of class systems in MMORPGs:
Fixed classes with only one specialization
Fixed classes with multiple skill trees
Fixed classes with a dual-class system
Classless system: A selection from skill trees that can be mixed
Classless system based on equipment
They all have their advantages and disadvantages, but which one do you prefer? Let us know in our survey.
This is how you can vote: You can cast your vote in the survey tool below. Keep in mind that you only have one vote, and your choice cannot be undone.
If you can’t find the class system you like the most in the list, then let us know in the comments and tell us what is cool about it.
So tell us: which systems do you like the most? Do you prefer fixed classes with different specializations or no classes at all, creating your skills yourself? Is there an MMORPG that you think has absolutely nailed the class system?
Let us know in the comments and have fun voting!

Yesterday, on May 18, the banner for the new character Eula has launched in Genshin Impact. During the event period, you have an increased chance to obtain Eula and three other characters. We at MeinMMI reveal everything you need to know about the new banner “Waves of the Hour”.
With “In the Jade’s Glow – Part 2”, developer miHoYo has ushered in the next phase of Genshin Impact’s last update 1.5. Since May 18, the Eula banner is also live, where you can obtain the new character with increased chance. This is the second banner for version 1.5 after Yanfei.
How to get her? To unlock characters, you need to pray. This, in turn, costs primogems. While it can be farmed in-game, it is significantly faster to obtain through creation crystals. These can be obtained through certain actions or purchased with real money. This procedure is part of the Gacha system of Genshin Impact.
Also, keep in mind that obtaining the desired character depends on a low, percentage-based chance. The Gacha system is often compared to gambling and is a criticism of such games. How exactly the system works, we explain in our FAQ about Genshin Impact’s Gacha system – How Pay2Win is it really?
But for whom is Eula actually worth it and what makes her special? We present the new character and show what she can do. Here you can watch the trailer for Eula that miHoYo recently released:

Origin, Skills, and Talents of “Whirlwind Dance of the Mist” Eula
This is Eula: Players have not yet encountered Eula, although she comes from Mondstadt. This is because she is constantly on the move as the captain of a reconnaissance unit of the Knights of Favonius and rarely returns home.
Despite her efforts for the residents of Mondstadt, she is quite unpopular. This is because her ancestors were part of the Lawrence clan, who exploited and oppressed the citizens of Mondstadt for a long time.
Some fear that Eula may be seeking revenge and is merely a saboteur disguised as a knight. However, according to Jean, these are unfounded rumors.
These are her traits
Weapon: Greatsword
Element: Cryo
Rarity: 5 Stars
Constellation: Aspergine Maris
Skills and Talents
What Eula can do: Eula wields a greatsword and can perform a 5-hit combo called “Favonius Bladework – Edel” with her normal attack. Additionally, she has the powerful attack “Icetide Vortex”.
What does the attack do? Her attack “Icetide Vortex” deals Cryo damage and activates the “Grimheart” buff. The buff increases Eula’s defense by 30% per charge and her resistance to interruptions. A maximum of two such charges can be active simultaneously. They can be refreshed every 0.3 seconds.
If you hold the elemental skill, the stacks of the Grimheart buff will be unleashed in a Cryo AoE. This weakens your opponents and reduces their physical and Cryo resistance by 23% each. Each charge lasts for 7 seconds. Additionally, the charges remain active as “Icewhirl Brand” on the battlefield, dealing 153% Cryo damage.
What does her ultimate do? It’s called “Glacial Illumination” and deals AoE Cryo damage. She summons a light sword that hovers near Eula. For every damage dealt, you charge energy.
Once the sword disappears, it causes a powerful explosion that deals physical damage. The more energy you’ve charged, the stronger the explosion damage. You can accumulate up to 30 charges for the sword.
These are the 3 talents:
Aristocratic Insight: 10% chance to double the amount of items obtained while crafting
Roiling Rime: If Eula has 2 Grimheart charges, holding her elemental skill will summon a light sword that explodes immediately, dealing physical damage
Wellspring of War-Lust: When you use her ultimate in combat, the cooldown of Icetide Vortex is reset and Eula also gains a Grimheart charge.
These are her stats:
Eula is a very strong physical DPS, with quite high stat values that gain a critical damage bonus upon ascension. At level 90, she has:
Base HP of 13,226
Base ATK of 342, placing her on par with top DPS like Xiao or Diluc
Base DEF of 751
Although she deals Cryo damage, she is primarily viewed as a physical DPS character.
This is how you should play Eula: As mentioned, Eula is primarily a physical DPS character. While her abilities deal Cryo damage, you should prioritize physical damage with her.
Eula is particularly characterized by her buffs, debuffs, and her ultimate ability. With the Grimheart buff and Glacial Illumination, she is capable of building massive damage.
Ultimately, it’s about charging the light sword of her ultimate with as much damage as possible and then blowing away everything in your path with the subsequent explosion.
What makes it difficult: You need to pay close attention to your active buffs, debuffs, and cooldowns. Eula is not a character you just rush in and smash everything. However, if you master the interplay of abilities, she can build a lot of damage.
A certain strategy is required to utilize all synergy effects properly.
If you are looking for a powerful build and the right strategies, you can check out this video from Gacha Gamer:

How long will the Eula banner be active? You can obtain Eula until June 8 with increased chances from prayers. You also have the chance for additional 4-star characters:
At the same time, the prayer “Divine Work” is also active, where you can obtain powerful weapons. You can find more information about it on the official website. (via genshin.mihoyo.com)
What do you think about the new character Eula? Is she interesting to you? And how will you play her?

On May 25, a major offensive will start in Guild Wars 2, bringing the old episodes of the Living World into focus. This will motivate players to complete old areas and achievements, and those who missed certain episodes can even save real money.
What kind of action is this?
Starting May 25, two episodes of the Living World will be highlighted each week in chronological order for 7 days each.
It will begin with Season 2, followed by Season 3 later.
By highlighting these episodes, players can unlock them for free instead of having to spend 200 gems (about 2.50 euros) each. This will happen automatically when you log in during the respective week.
In total, you can unlock 14 episodes and potentially save up to 35 euros, which will likely correspond to the selling price of the upcoming expansion End of Dragons.
Who benefits from this? The “Living World Story” action is particularly aimed at returning players who missed an episode in between or newcomers who have not unlocked any episodes yet.
But veterans can also benefit from the event as the old content becomes interesting again. Additionally, there is a new reward for completing all achievements of the two seasons.
Whether it is still worth starting with Guild Wars 2 in 2021, we will reveal here:
What makes the event interesting? The episodes of the Living World are updates that were each introduced with a story chapter, new achievements, and new rewards.
Some of these content updates even contain a completely new area that can only be accessed if you own the corresponding episode. So if you want to know and experience the entire story of Guild Wars 2, you must have all episodes.
However, veterans can also benefit from this event. Because with the spotlight, new players will attempt the story achievements and the areas, making it easier to find fellow players for the old content. At the same time, completely new achievements and rewards for the old content are announced.

What new features are there? The spotlight will introduce new achievements that veterans must complete. There are also numerous old achievements that need to be completed.
Those who complete the achievements of Season 2 and Season 3 of the Living World will receive a voucher for a precursor of the new legendary weapons, which are set to come with End of Dragons.
Additionally, there is a new legendary amulet for all players who have completed all meta achievements of Living World Seasons 2, 3, 4, and the new Icebrood Saga. So those who have missed episodes so far can catch up on a lot of old content while waiting for the new expansion.
Where can I find tips for the Living World achievements? We at MeinMMO have only published a few guides for Guild Wars 2. However, you can find detailed guides for the individual episodes in German from the colleagues at Guildnews.de. There you will find all episodes listed chronologically (via Guildnews).
What else is happening in Guild Wars 2 in 2021? At the end of April, the developers provided an outlook on plans for summer 2021. Besides the event around the Living World, the return of the Marionette, various special events, and a major announcement about the new expansion were also presented:
TOTW 34 is now available in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. MeinMMO reveals which players have made it into this week’s Team of the Week.
When does TOTW 34 come out? The new Team of the Week 34 is now available. It was released on May 19, 2021, at 7:00 PM and will be available for one week.
To get cards from the TOTW, you can try packs in FIFA 21 but you need a lot of luck for that. You can also buy them on the transfer market, but they can be quite expensive.
This is the new TOTW 34: Unfortunately, there are quite a few strong cards missing from the current Team of the Week. However, the most exciting cards are likely the new TOTW cards of Alexander-Arnold (89) and Dembélé (86).
TOTW 34 Starting XI:
GK: Buffon (84)
RB: Alexander-Arnold (89)
CB: Boyata (84)
CB: Nacho Fernandez (83)
RM: Dembélé (86)
CDM: Hojbjerg (85)
RM: Fassnacht (84)
CM: Carlos Soler (86)
ST: Ajorque (87)

The company Koch Media has surprisingly announced a collaboration with publisher Activision. This involves the distribution of all physical releases and games in Europe and beyond. MeinMMO shows you what is behind it.
What happened? Koch Media has announced an official partnership with Activision Blizzard. From May 2021, Koch Media will start distributing all retail products of the US publisher.
The company announced this on its official Twitter account. Thus, Koch Media is now distributing the retail products of the global market leader in the field of console and PC games.
Activision Blizzard is actually a name known to every gamer. The publisher is known for franchises and games such as Call Of Duty, World Of Warcraft, Overwatch, Sekiro, Diablo, and numerous other titles.

KOCH Media Holding GmbH is a German-speaking company founded in 1994 in Höfen (Tyrol), Austria, and still has its headquarters there. The company specializes in the distribution of software such as video games, films, and other media.
Koch Media also includes the brand label Deep Silver, which some players know through titles like Metro: Last Light, Saints Row 4, Risen 1-3, and several other games. Warhorse Studios also belongs to the subsidiaries that developed the role-playing game Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
The company is alongside THQ Nordic one of eight divisions of the Swedish Embracer Group, which according to gameswirtschaft.de is one of the biggest employers in the German video game industry. (via gameswirtschaft.de)
Koch Media secures portfolio from Activision Blizzard
What is Koch Media doing now exactly? In simple terms, the company will now take over all retail business of Activision Blizzard in the EMEA region.
What does EMEA region mean? The abbreviation stands for the economic area of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Thus, some locations in the Middle East and Africa are also included. Only Italy and the United Kingdom are excluded from the partnership.
This decision fits the intention to conclude an external partnership for retail distribution with Koch Media. Koch Media already has experience in this area, numerous company locations spread across the world, and distributes games for partners like Sega or Square Enix.
In some countries, Capcom, Bethesda, or Konami are also among the partners (via beta.gamesmarkt.de).
What changes for players? This is currently hard to say. Probably, we will see the Koch Media logo on the game packaging alongside the Activision logo in the future.
Whether this also applies to titles that have already been released remains to be seen. Overall, players are unlikely to see any significant change.

The MMORPG Ragnarok Online was released in 2004 in Europe and was the entry point into the genre for some players. For 2021, developer Gravity announced 3 new games for the franchise. Among them is a new PC MMORPG.
What was announced? As part of a business event, developer Gravity gave an insight into the plans for 2021. And they are very interesting for fans of the Ragnarok series:
With Ragnarok Begins, a completely new PC MMORPG is coming. The release is planned for the second half of 2021.
The Lost Memories: A Song of Valkyrie will be a new mobile MMORPG that is supposed to evoke the retro style of the first part. A demo was already showcased at G-Star 2019 (via YouTube).
With Project S, another mobile game is coming to Ragnarok. This is an MMORPG developed in the Unity engine. There are no precise details yet.
In addition, the service of some already released games for Ragnarok is being expanded, including the new Ragnarok X: Next Generation, which will be playable in Southeast Asia from June. The only global release this year occurred in March with the game The Labyrinth of Ragnarok.

Ragnarok Begins will be a new PC MMORPG, set before Ragnarok Online
What is Ragnarok Begins? This game is a side-scroller MMORPG. You move mainly left and right only with your character.
The story takes place 100 years before Ragnarok Online. It focuses on the conflict between the kingdom of Rune Midgard and the church of Arunafelz.
You have access to 4 classes, each of which can develop in two directions:
Swordman: Warrior, Defender
Archer: Hunter, Ranger
Mage: Elementalist, Summoner
Acolyte: Saint, Inquisitor
Further information about Ragnarok Begins can be found on the official Korean website (via gnjoy.com). You can get a first glimpse of the gameplay in this video by YouTuber ICATV:

Why is the game so interesting? Ragnarok Online was an MMORPG that some players grew up with in the West and still generates significant interest today.
Since then, there have mostly been mobile games in the Ragnarok series. However, to play the new MMORPG, an i5 processor and 8 GB of RAM are recommended by the Korean developer. A smartphone version is not planned.
When will Ragnarok Begins come to us? When and whether the MMORPG will even be released here is still unclear. The release in the second half of 2021 mostly targets Korea.
However, Gravity stated in their plans for 2021 that other countries are being targeted for their Ragnarok games. This increases the chances that Ragnarok Begins will also come to us. The last Ragnarok game that was released here was Ragnarok M: Eternal Love in November 2018.
What do you think of Gravity’s plans? Do you wish for a new Ragnarok MMORPG for the PC?
