23-year-old MMORPG is so popular that the developers have to close the 2nd server – Anyone who absolutely wants to join must hurry

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of the MMORPG Final Fantasy XI are making a new announcement to the players, giving them only one week to respond.

What game is it about? Final Fantasy XI is the first online installment of the series and was released by Square Enix in 2002. The old-school MMORPG allows thousands of players to play and level up together in a world, with the leveling process being a laborious one that can take a long time.

As usual, there are the typical MMORPG roles of Tank, Healer, and Damage Dealer, which in Final Fantasy XI are further complemented by “Pullers” to bring foes closer and “Debuffers” for weakening enemies.

Not only is the leveling phase arduous, but the difficulty level is also high and demands a lot from the players, which poses a significant challenge. The concept seems to appeal to players, as the developers are currently trying to save their servers.

Here you can watch a trailer for the MMORPG:

Servers will be shut down

What have the developers announced? Back in July 2025, the developers of Final Fantasy XI announced that there are simply far too many players on the servers of the 23-year-old MMORPG. Although this is not a negative thing, the developers had announced at that time that they would be closing the most popular server to distribute the load better.

It seems that the load has not distributed very evenly. The developers have now released another announcement. They explain that the second most popular server, “Bahamut,” will also be shut down soon. This means that the creation of new characters on it will no longer be possible.

Additionally, character transfers will be halted, making it impossible to switch from one server to another. The developers have recognized that this measure does not distribute the load as intended. A third server may soon follow. Therefore, they explain in a footnote on playonline.com that they are also considering other measures. The goal is to better distribute the load.

Until when can new characters still be created? Those who absolutely want to start on the server “Bahamut” need to hurry. The developers have announced that the server will be closed on October 9th. After that, it will no longer be possible to access it.

The initially closed “Asura” server will remain closed according to the developers, because despite slightly reduced player numbers, it is still so popular that the server load is too high for it to reopen. When it will be possible again remains uncertain.

That a 23-year-old MMORPG is so popular that the developers now have to close a second server is extraordinary. Final Fantasy XI is currently experiencing something like a renaissance, which is also due to the successor MMORPG.

Here are all campaigns of the biggest streamers in Dungeons & Dragons ranking – Which one has the best characters?

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 8 minutes

The Critical Role crew is the biggest streamer of Dungeons & Dragons and has just started their fourth campaign. Before that, however, they completed three campaigns, which we rank here according to the preferences of our editorial team.

Who are the biggest D&D streamers? The biggest streamers of Dungeons & Dragons is the Critical Role team. With over 2.47 million YouTube subscribers, 1.4 million Twitch followers, and a whole lot of companies around them, the voice actors have really gained quite a bit of fame since their start in 2015.

In addition to the Netflix series Stranger Things, Critical Role is considered a main reason for the worldwide increase in popularity and enthusiasm for tabletop RPGs, especially Dungeons & Dragons. They are now so well-known that they hold live shows worldwide, publish their own games, sell merchandise, and publish books, comics, and more.

How did the ranking come about? This ranking is based solely on the preferences of the MeinMMO editorial team, mainly our editors Alexander Alex Mehrwald (watching since 2020), Caroline Caro Fuller (watching since 2021), and Sophia Weiß (watching since 2017). We have been following Critical Role for several years and have watched all three campaigns in full.

Accordingly, we sat down together, discussed stories, philosophized about characters, and came to this ranking. However, it was also important to us how easy it is for new viewers to get into the completed campaigns.

However, if you have a completely different opinion, we are of course happy to receive your comments.

Honorable Mentions

Campaign 4

On the night of October 2nd to 3rd, 2025, the fourth campaign of Critical Role started. For the first time, long-time DM Matt Mercer hands over the reins for a long campaign to Brennan Lee Mulligan and starts as a player.

If you’ve never seen a single episode of Critical Role, you can start the campaign right on time here. Whether and how good it will be, we can’t say at this point. Unfortunately, this ranking was created before we could take a look at the first episode ourselves, and even then, the first episode wouldn’t be enough to assess the quality.

After the premiere via Twitch and YouTube, the current episode can only be watched on the Critical Role streaming service Beacon until Monday. A subscription is required for that.

Exandria Unlimited

Exandria Unlimited consists of several small, but not year-long mini-campaigns. Here, the cast of Critical Role also changes: Matt Mercer steps down as DM. In each of the currently four mini-series, players from the main cast participate, but many new faces also find a place at the table.

Exandria Unlimited: Calamity (4 episodes) is Mulligan’s first guest appearance as Dungeon Master and takes place at the very beginning of the timeline of Critical Role’s world. Exandria Unlimited: Divergence (4 episodes) loosely continues Calamity, again with Brennan Lee Mulligan at the helm.

The adventure originally played first in the Exandria Unlimited universe was led by Aabria Iyengar: Exandria Unlimited Prime. In eight episodes, the Crown Keepers (translated as Crown Guardians) experience adventures that partially transition into the third major campaign of Bell’s Hells. Part of the team returns in the two episodes Exandria Unlimited: Kymal, which Iyengar has also taken over as DM.

Our tip: If you want to dip your toes into Critical Role, Exandria Unlimited: Calamity is a good choice, as it provides a nice insight into D&D as entertainment. You also get to know the first parts of the main cast. Committing to four episodes is also worlds easier than to the sometimes over 100 episodes of the main campaigns – which we will now come to in the ranking on the next page.

But enough of the long preamble – let’s move on to page 2 for rank 3!

„Feels like cheating“ – User drives an electric car for the first time and draws a conclusion after 1,600 kilometers

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

A user reports that he has acquired an electric car. After the first 1,600 kilometers, he draws a conclusion. In many respects, he expresses great satisfaction with his new vehicle.

A user reports on Reddit that he has switched to an electric vehicle. Overall, he has now driven 1,000 miles, which is about 1,600 kilometers. This leads him to share a few “honest thoughts,” as he puts it, about his experiences.

This is what the user reports: He explains that the instant torque still makes him smile. He means that electric cars accelerate much faster without needing high RPMs. Gasoline engines require higher RPMs to achieve high torque and thus accelerate more quickly.

He also adds that he never thought how great it would be not to have to drive to the gas station constantly. It would feel almost like cheating:

I underestimated how much I would enjoy never having to drive to the gas station again. Charging [the car] at home feels like cheating.

One thing he is still torn about is the noise of the vehicle. Driving an electric car, he writes, is much quieter than with a gasoline car, but one is also much more aware of every other sound in the interior.

User’s positive experiences align with others’ experiences

What do other users say? Other members of the community confirm their experiences:

  • Many appreciate the easy maintenance (e.g., only windshield wipers and tire changes) and low electricity costs.
  • The comfort of silent driving and the elimination of fossil fuels are often mentioned.
  • Some report positive long-term experiences with very high mileages without major issues.
  • However, some warn that the absence of engine noise can lead to unintentionally driving faster, requiring more attention to speed.

Features such as instant torque, the “home charging” experience, and the quiet vehicle cabin are characteristic of most battery electric vehicles. All traits that reflect typical
daily experiences of electric vehicle drivers.

Guild Wars 2 announces changes for the raids, wanting to add more than a dozen in 2026, but most are not new

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Guild Wars 2 have announced major changes to their raids for 2026, adding some that are not so new.

Where do the new raids come from? The developers of Guild Wars 2 spoke about the changes to the raids in the MMORPG in an announcement on guildwars2.com. They explain that in the future, strikes and raids will be merged into a single game mode.

The 15 Strike Missions from Guild Wars 2 will in the future be referred to as “Raid Encounters,” while the previous raids will be called “Raid Wings.” Additionally, two new “Raid Encounters” are set to be added with the update. However, it is not just the names that are changing; the game modes are also coming together further.

Start video

Much more raiding

What are the developers planning? With the first major update for Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity in spring 2026, the developers are introducing a new system that will make it easier to join raids. Players will then be able to jump directly to bosses through a new menu.

By blending strikes and the previous raids, players will have access to many bosses from which they can easily choose to tackle with their group. The previously separate reward systems will also be combined to provide players with an even greater incentive to raid.

Additionally, it should become easier for beginners to gain their first experiences, even without a raid group. While raid groups are not mandatory in the MMORPG, they improve the experience and speed up the time it takes to find a raid. Beginners should be able to easily enter light raids through a player search with the new “Quickplay” feature and start playing right away.

Why the changes? The developers justify the changes with the lack of interest in strike missions. This disinterest is exacerbated by the splitting of the reward systems, as there are fewer reasons for professionals to check out the strikes from time to time. Strikes were originally intended as a quick version of raids and a good starting point for new players, but the data showed that they were played very little.

At the same time, the data revealed that players continue to struggle to get into raids and do not see strike missions as a stepping stone to raids. For the developers, this is enough reason to change the system and encourage new players to raid through the “Quickplay” mode.

Warhammer:  Vermintide 2

The co-op slasher set in Warhammer Fantasy takes place during the End Times, the literal end of the world. A group of five heroes (played with a maximum of four) fights against endless hordes of Skaven and Norsca barbarians. With the “Winds of Magic” DLC, it also goes into battle against the Beastmen.

  • Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is currently 90% off on Steam, costing only €2.79. It’s truly a bargain. The game receives ongoing updates, has about 2,000 daily players on Steam (according to steamdb.info), and remains enjoyable even 7 years after release.

For €18.42, you can get the game bundled with Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. The game had major issues at launch, but Darktide has significantly improved since and has even more active Steam players than Vermintide 2 (according to steamdb.info).

Priests in WoW get what they have long needed: more tentacles

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

What can a shadow priest never get enough of in World of Warcraft? Exactly, tentacles. There will soon be even more of them.

Those who know me and my articles a little know that I have quite a fondness for the Old Gods in World of Warcraft. I love the Lovecraftian look with many mouths, many eyes, and far too many tentacles. This also makes up a large part of the allure of a shadow priest for me: the thematic alignment with the Old Gods.

WoW Midnight shows gameplay – All new features

In “Midnight”, Blizzard wants to further sharpen the class fantasy of the individual specializations. This means for the shadow priest that they will focus even more on “madness” and “Old Gods” – which also means overhauling some abilities and improving visual effects.

New for shadow priests will be the “Tentacle Slam”. This replaces the previous “Shadow Crash” and is essentially the opener for area damage. All targets hit by the tentacle will be afflicted with the usual shadow priest DoTs.

One then summons a massive tentacle from the ground and delivers a powerful blow to the victim. Bonk.

WoW Legion Erelya Tentacles
Tentacles never harm. Old Japanese wisdom.

Tentacles afflict enemies with DoTs, fitting for the Old Gods

Unlike before, the Tentacle Slam not only afflicts the enemies at the target point and around it with DoTs, but also all enemies between the player’s character and the target – clearly, the tentacle strikes from the priest’s position and squashes everything in between.

I know that I will probably use the tentacle in 90% of cases just to bonk people when they have made some ambiguous remark.

With the Tentacle Slam, Blizzard continues what they already started in The War Within. Not long ago, there was a small overhaul of the shadow priest. Mechanics like the “Idol of N’Zoth”, where you increasingly afflict enemies with stronger manifestations of madness, have already been introduced. I find it extremely good that Blizzard will continue down this path – and it will likely ensure in the future that my shadow priest remains my absolute favorite. Thanks to tentacles.

In a recent hit on Steam, you owe debt to the devil and play for your life

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 4 minutes

CloverPit is a new indie game that has struck on Steam, selling over 300,000 copies in less than 4 days. But what the hell is it all about? Our MeinMMO author Christos has tested the game.

The game discussed in this article centers around gambling as its main theme. If you are struggling or have struggled with gambling addiction, this game might not be the right fit for you.
If you or someone you know needs help with problematic gambling behavior, you can reach the free phone hotline of the initiative Check your game from the Federal Centre for Health Education (BZgA) at 0800 1 37 27 00.

What is CloverPit? Developed by Panik Arcade, this is a roguelike with horror elements that may appeal especially to fans of Balatro or Bugshot Roulette. In CloverPit, you take on the role of a nameless player. You are trapped in a shabby room with a one-armed bandit and must survive.

The goal is to earn coins to pay off your debts to the devil, but he is not very patient. He sets deadlines for you, and if you can’t meet them, he tosses you into a pit and turns you into minced meat.

At first glance, the game seems solely focused on the one-armed bandit, and one might think it’s a gambling simulation, but you quickly realize that luck alone won’t get you far. CloverPit offers remarkable complexity that encourages you to outsmart the devil and defeat him by any means necessary.

Defeating the Devil is harder than it seems

What makes CloverPit shine? CloverPit is a strategic game, starting with your first deadline as you choose how long your rounds with your one-armed bandit should be. You can opt for a long but expensive round or a short and cheap one. This, in turn, influences whether you earn more or fewer coins and tickets.

Keyword: Tickets. With them, you can buy talismans, and that without buffs a total of 7 times. These items represent the builds in CloverPit, as their selection is crucial to maximize your coin earnings and increase your chances for patterns (symbol rows for higher coin wins). You can choose from a total of 160 talismans, each with different prices and effects, thus defining your playstyle.

CloverPit-Talisman-Shop-Phone
This is what the talisman shop looks like
CloverPit-Collection-Talisman
You can view all talismans in an overview

In addition to the talismans, there’s the red phone on the wall that gives you buffs and debuffs after every deadline. With it, you can equip your talismans with additional effects or even increase the chances for certain symbols per pull. The possibilities to secure an advantage over the devil are almost limitless.

Finally, there are drawers, which you can only permanently unlock as a feature to store your talismans. They are an important part of advancing the story indirectly in CloverPit and essential when it comes to defeating the devil. So if you haven’t unlocked them all yet, you might consider your matches in the roguelike as warm-up rounds.

CloverPit-Workplace
Here you play for your life

In CloverPit, it’s less about naively manipulating the one-armed bandit and getting lost in it, and more about developing a strategy to defeat the devil. That is what captivated me: Which talismans and buffs harmonize perfectly to outsmart the machine and escape this dingy dungeon?

For my part, I’ve already invested over 10 hours into the game and have only managed to unlock one drawer so far. I’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg of what CloverPit has to offer. Additionally, each round is a fight for survival, reminding me of my beginnings with Dark Souls. Every defeat inspires you to find new ways to survive longer this time and finally see the end.

But don’t expect a story with cutscenes, because there are none. Instead, CloverPit thrives on its environmental storytelling, requiring you to piece together the story by unlocking further secrets yourself. I don’t mind that at all, as all Souls games, which are among my favorites, thrive on their indirect narratives, and CloverPit is no different.

If you’re looking for a game to challenge yourself with in between, you’ll find enjoyment with this indie game… unless you aren’t into the pixelated arcade graphics from the PS1 era.

You can currently only play officially on Steam. More platforms may follow in the future, and if you look at Balatro, a mobile version of CloverPit would also be a good fit for casual play.

Another game on Steam has also taken off as an indie game and involves jumping wildly through the map to defeat as many monsters as possible. The developer even nearly missed a release: He chose the worst time for the release of his game, yet still reached 80,000 players on Steam

The most successful movie on Netflix delights fans with strong songs, yet a particularly emotional song was cut out.

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

A movie on Netflix is more successful than all others: KPop Demon Hunters. The film offers some good songs that fans can listen to repeatedly even after the credits roll. Unfortunately, one song didn’t make it into the final film, which makes one singer particularly sad.

What kind of movie is it? KPop Demon Hunters was released on June 20, 2025, on Netflix and has since achieved incredible success. The animated film tells the story of a K-Pop girl group that battles demons. In a short time, it has become the most successful film on the platform and left other major blockbusters like Red Notice and Carry-On behind.

Currently, the film stands at Netflix with a whopping 325 million views, measured in the first 91 days after release. For comparison: Red Notice in second place achieved “only” 230 million views in the same period.

The success of KPop Demon Hunters is therefore enormous. One reason is certainly the songs, which are bound to create some earworms. The soundtrack was also successful independently of the actual film and reached number one on the German album charts with a single (via wikipedia.org).

For a film soundtrack, that is more than remarkable, especially considering that the very popular K-Pop group BTS only reached a maximum of sixth place in the same charts. Similar successes were also achieved in the US market.

As one singer from the film recently announced, however, not all songs made it into the final cut. Among them is one that is said to be particularly emotional.

Select a MMO video…

One song fell victim to the cutting room floor

Which song is it? The songwriter and singer Ejae provided the singing voice for the character Rumi in KPop Demon Hunters. She wrote several songs for the film herself. In an interview with Collider, she talked about a song that was very important to her but unfortunately was cut from the film.

It was about her character Rumi. The song would have been very personal and tells of her breakdown:

It was a powerful, ballad-like song; dark, yet powerful, with a hint of sadness. It was powerful, and that was something I like to sing. But who knows, maybe in the next (film, note from the editor)?

Ejae

That some elements like scenes or songs get cut from a film to streamline content or simply to fit the time is normal. It is still a shame for the fans of the character and the singer.

However, according to Hollywood Reporter, there are already talks between Netflix and Sony about a sequel, which is no surprise considering the film’s tremendous success. Perhaps the aforementioned song, as the singer has already hinted, will find its way into a potential second part.

Promising role-playing game for D&D for Steam and PS5 gets release date, could it be what fans have been waiting for for a long time

Alexander Mehrwald Alexander Mehrwald Reading time 2 minutes

A promising crossover with Dungeons & Dragons will soon celebrate its release. It has a lot to offer that the community has been waiting for some time.

Which game is it about? Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked is an upcoming tactical and turn-based virtual tabletop game from Resolution Games that combines the Demeo RPG system with the setting of D&D. Demeo was the first title in this style and has achieved a rating of 88% positive votes on Steam and a score of 80 out of 100 points on Metacritic (as of October 2, 2025, 7:00 PM).

The setting is the Forgotten Realms, including areas around the city of Neverwinter. The game offers turn-based combat, cooperative game modes for up to four players, and the ability to experience solo or team-based pen-and-paper-like adventures without needing a game master, using it like a virtual “table.”

The game finally has a release date and will be available on November 20, 2025, on Steam, PS5, and for VR systems PS VR2, SteamVR, and Quest. If you want to give it a try, you have the opportunity during the Steam Next Fests from October 13 – 20 as part of a demo.

Through the crossover, fans of Dungeons & Dragons may finally get a tool that provides what they have long desired.

Here you can see the trailer for the crossover between Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons:

Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons as an alternative to Project Sigil?

What have fans been waiting for? Already at the release of the first trailer for “Battlemarked,” positive feedback circulated in the community. Many fans of the tabletop RPG praise the visuals and style of the game and look forward to exploring popular and well-known areas from Dungeons & Dragons in this form together with friends and to “roll some dice virtually in the evenings.”

A fan even sees it as a potential alternative to the virtual tabletop from DnD Beyond’s “Project Sigil”. The project has been in development since August 2022, with the first alpha tests conducted since September 2024, and in March 2025, around 90% of the staff were laid off (see Polygon.com), which is why many fans are looking for alternatives.

Under the gameplay trailer for the crossover of Demeo and D&D on YouTube, user carryaushongkong writes about Battlemarked: “Well, they have actually laid the groundwork for what Project Sigil failed to accomplish. I wonder if they could go further and introduce 5e. Then you’d have the biggest thing the DnD community has been longing for <3”.

The price increase of the Game Pass annoys the players, but GameStop could be the solution for some.

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

Microsoft has announced a price increase for the Xbox Game Pass. This has caused anger among the player base and led to numerous cancellations. However, one company wants to stick to the old price.

What does the change look like? On October 1, 2025, Microsoft announced that the Xbox Game Pass is going to be more expensive effective immediately. The price increase affects all subscription models – you can find a detailed overview in a dedicated article on MeinMMO.

Currently, many players from the community are upset about the change and have caused a wave of cancellations of the service in the past few hours. The influx was so strong that the website where the Game Pass can be canceled was overloaded for a while (via thegamer.com)

In the midst of the discussion about whether the price increase is justified, another company has now spoken out: GameStop.

GameStop to the rescue?

What does GameStop say? The American company, which has been in the video game trade for 25 years, reacted to the situation in a post on x.com. It states:

We will continue to sell Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $19.99/month in-store and online.

The aforementioned Ultimate Pass now costs $29.99 (26.99 €) instead of the previous $19.99 (17.99 €). This is a price increase of 9 €, which is quite a lot. GameStop thus offers players the option to purchase the Ultimate Game Pass at the old price. This offer is available both in-store and online.

Other retailers such as Amazon are also still offering the product at the old price but have not yet commented on whether it will remain that way.

Link to the Twitter content

What does the community think? On Reddit, the news is already being discussed by players. User Soggy-Wave3743 suspects that GameStop acquired a stock of Game Passes for 17.99 € in the past and is now slowly depleting it. This would allow them to stick to the old price, which particularly applies to physical cards – as the amount is printed on them. Once the stock is exhausted, the price may change in the future, the user writes.

Under the original post on x.com, the news is mostly received positively.

  • “I never thought I would see the day when I would root for GameStop,” writes CraigStillborn.
  • “Damn GOATS, now I have a reason to come,” says Sevi.
  • “GameStop’s new slogan should be: ‘More power to the player,'” says nmayfield28.

That GameStop is offering a lower price in this matter seems to surprise some users. In the past, the company has been criticized for reselling used games at high prices.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 shows just in time for the beta launch what your PC needs to be able to do and it is not as bad as expected

Alexander Mehrwald Alexander Mehrwald Reading time 2 minutes

The beta for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is about to start. Accordingly, the system requirements have also been published – and they should please players without a high-end PC.

Why can players without the latest hardware be happy? In a blog post, the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 shared the system requirements for the beta. It quickly becomes clear that neither the minimum requirements nor the recommended components expect the latest hardware.

Especially regarding graphics card and CPU, players who do not necessarily count themselves among the owners of a high-end PC can breathe a sigh of relief. This is particularly surprising compared to the relatively high demands of Battlefield 6.

What you can expect if you want to participate in the closed beta from October 2 to October 5, 2025, or the open beta from October 5 to October 10, 2025, you can find out here.

Especially TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot have already frustrated players in the beta of Battlefield 6. Because enabling these features can prove to be quite complicated.

Diablo 4: Summon and defeat Urivar – Here’s how it’s done

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 3 minutes

How to summon Urivar in Diablo 4, where to find the boss and what loot he drops, you can find out here on MeinMMO.

This is how you summon Urivar: To summon Urivar, you no longer need any special materials since Season 8. You can simply enter his dungeon and summon him at the altar. Go to the “Fields of Judgment” east of your hideout in Nahantu at a torment level. When you interact with the altar, the boss fight begins.

Once you have defeated Urivar, a chest spawns which you can open with 12 “Masks of the Judge” to get the loot. You obtain these, among other sources, from chests in the Whispering Tree and from world bosses.

What level is Urivar? With Season 6, Blizzard abolished the often criticized world levels and integrated a new difficulty system. The monster levels now depend on the level you are playing at and are no longer displayed. Thus, the level of Urivar depends on your difficulty level, as does that of the enemies you will encounter in the “Fields of Judgment”.

You will find Urivar in Nahantu – the area from the first expansion “Vessel of Hatred”:

Start video
Trailer for Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred provides insight into the story of the expansion

Defeating Urivar: Tips for the fight

How do I prepare? First, you need a powerful build to have any chance against the tough boss. A list of the best builds in the endgame of Diablo 4 can be found in the Tier List for Season 10. The more damage you deal, the less time Urivar has to attack you.

Since Urivar uses fire attacks among other things, you should also ensure that your resistances are at 70%. If that is not the case, stock up on potions to increase the value.

What should I watch out for? Initially, Urivar will attack you directly, later he will spawn spears and knights that help him in fighting you. The spears strike the ground – so pay attention to the circles that indicate the spots, and evade.

After that, Urivar will slow you down and throw swords directly at your position. Later, Urivar will raise his sword high and slam it down into the ground, covering the ground with flames that cause enormous damage. Position yourself so that you can evade quickly.

Once Urivar loses about a third of his hit points, he summons a circle of knights. Use AoE abilities if possible to take out the enemies. Also, keep moving so the knights don’t overwhelm you.

A year ago, Faker lost to the girlfriend of a Twitch streamer, now the 5-time world champion in LoL has the chance for a rematch

Nico Scheibel Nico Scheibel Reading time 2 minutes

League of Legends has many tournaments that are played throughout the year. An event now brings together the best players in the world and a popular German streamer team again.

Which LoL event is being discussed? The Red Bull League of Its Own 2025 is an event where professional teams come together to play League of Legends against each other. It is a so-called off-season event, not an official tournament like the European Championship or Worlds.

In 2023, the event was held and produced some highlights, such as the first match between the streamer team NNO, featuring players like NoWay and Tolkin, and T1, which was watched by more than 500,000 people and MeinMMO was live to witness it.

Also in the following year, fans could cheer for both teams on stage. This time, the former girlfriend of the Twitch streamer, Broeki, stepped in as a substitute player and even managed to defeat the five-time world champion Faker.

Which teams are participating in the event? The official page of the event has already introduced the participating teams. Among them are:

  • T1: Probably the best team of all time in League of Legends. They have already won 5 World Championships, and Faker has been part of all of them
  • NNO Old: The known German streamers and LoL players NoWay, Tolkin, and Broeki are part of the team
  • G2 Esports: The multiple title holders of the European League (LEC) are also participating and are Europe’s great hope for the upcoming Worlds 2025
  • Los Ratones: The team of streamer Caedrel is participating for the second time. They have already been European Champions twice
  • Karmine Corp: The last team of the event is from France and has a wonder child of LoL on the bot lane with their ADC

The great LoL event takes place in Germany

Where and when is the event taking place? On the website of the Red Bull League of Its Own 2025, there are many details about the event. It will take place on November 29, 2025, at SAP Garden in Munich, expecting several thousand spectators on-site. You can also follow the event from home and cheer for your favorite teams or players via Twitch and YouTube.

What do the tickets cost? The day ticket for the event varies in price depending on where you want to sit. The upper tier costs 40 €, while the lower tier is listed at 60 €. The infield ticket to be in the midst of the action costs 90 €.

Also, a VIP ticket for the biggest fans is available, costing 250 € a little more than half of the skin that Faker received some time ago.

The mid laner of NNO Old, NoWay, faced the legend Faker for the first time in 2023. In the first match, the multiple world champion was able to defeat the streamer team. The second match in the following year went to NNO. Although NoWay has achieved the highest rank in League of Legends in several regions across the world, he still lacks a few world championship titles to match Faker: German Twitch streamer has reached the highest rank of LoL in 8 regions, now challenging the best of the best

CoD: Warzone will change everything in 2026, taking inspiration from the predecessor from 2018

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Warzone, the developers want to deliver a new experience in 2026 that attempts bold innovations. They are looking to the predecessor for inspiration.

What have the developers announced? The developers of Call of Duty: Warzone have announced a major innovation on X (formerly Twitter). They plan to take a bold step in Spring 2026 and release a new experience for Call of Duty: Warzone.

However, it won’t be entirely new, as it is inspired by the predecessor of Warzone, Call of Duty: Blackout.

This trailer started Call of Duty: Warzone:

Start video
Call of Duty: Warzone – The trailer that started it all

From Predecessor to Innovation

What is Call of Duty: Blackout? CoD: Blackout was the predecessor of Call of Duty: Warzone, released in 2018 instead of the campaign of CoD: Black Ops 4. The game mode was the first attempt by the developers to create a competitor for the then-nascent “Battle Royale” scene.

Unlike Warzone, the shooter was less realistic, allowing for a lot of climbing and relatively free movement. This was supported by a map that included the zombie maps from the part and allowed players to fight against AI opponents, who dropped weapons like the “Ray Gun” and “Monkey Bomb” known from CoD Zombies as loot.

The gadgets were also somewhat different from those in Warzone. Players could place traps on the map, drive toy cars around, or climb onto rooftops with the grappling gun. There were also zombies in the game mode.

What can be expected from the Warzone update? The announcement of the “bold new experience” has sparked player ideas about what content can be expected from the predecessor to Warzone. Many are primarily looking forward to the new Avalon map, where the innovations will be experienced.

Players like @Puma_708 on X.com primarily associate Blackout with the absence of loadouts, metas, and the same weapons for all players, as these can only be picked up from the ground.

Especially the loadout mechanic and the current meta of Call of Duty: Warzone are repeatedly mentioned in the comments under the announcement on X.com as the most important changes and something that must definitely be learned from Blackout.

German Twitch streamers want to create their own hardcore guild in WoW, almost failing before it even starts

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamers Maximilian “HandOfBlood”, Giacomo “Metashi12” Gaviria and Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller want to play in a guild in World of Warcraft, but there is already the first problem. The three wanted to discuss details in a meeting, but that did not happen.

What kind of project is this? The Twitch streamer Papaplatte had a new idea for a project in the German Twitch scene: A WoW guild modeled after the American example OnlyFangs. There should now be a first meeting with the Twitch streamers HandOfBlood, Metashi12, and Papaplatte in attendance. Papaplatte had invited both to his project earlier.

HandOfBlood reports in one of his Twitch live streams that he exchanged ideas with Papaplatte about the planned project via WhatsApp. They both looked forward to it and finally agreed to discuss the first things together in a meeting with Metashi12.

“Typical Kevin, I thought”

What do the Twitch streamers fail at? The meeting was supposed to take place at 11:30 last Tuesday. Metashi was already informed and the conversation was to take place via Discord. Since HandOfBlood could not participate himself due to another appointment, he sent Dennis from his team in his place.

However, one hour before the meeting started on Tuesday, HandOfBlood’s employee had not yet been added to the corresponding Discord server. HandOfBlood first reassured him: “I think this will be a last-minute thing. ‘Typical Kevin,’ I thought.” (Source: twitch.tv starting from minute 00:22:15).

He asked Papaplatte shortly before the meeting again, but received no response from the Twitch streamer. He then turned to Metashi12, who was also supposed to be part of the meeting.

To HandOfBlood’s surprise, Metashi was live on Twitch and assumed that the meeting would not take place until 3 PM. However, he was not completely sure of this either, as Papaplatte had not communicated with Metashi12 about it for some time.

Whether the Twitch streamers managed to meet in a meeting remains unclear to HandOfBlood. In the end, HandOfBlood still says that he is definitely involved: “I’m watching this, friends. I’m in no matter what. Personally, I will also tell him [Papaplatte] that it would be cool if we say we do something like this together, that we decide together.” (Source: twitch.tv starting from minute 00:24:15).

There were already initial discrepancies before, as HandOfBlood believed that the group was far too incompetent for certain raids. Raids like Zul’Gurub are too difficult, and he referred to the group as a “wrecking crew”.

Additionally, the chosen start time, February 2026, coincides with the release of the remake of the expansion The Burning Crusade Classic, which, according to HandOfBlood, is likely to receive less attention in hardcore mode. His condition was therefore that he would only participate as raid and guild leadership in the project.

Metashi12 then opposed the demand and HandOfBlood clarified that it was not a serious statement, but just a joke on his part.

There is no actual dispute between the Twitch streamers, but rather some chaos in the organization. However, there has already been a lot of drama in the WoW guild OnlyFangs.

WoW: Chris Metzen has casually erased the greatest enemies of Azeroth

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A small note from Chris Metzen clarified: The greatest threat from World of Warcraft no longer exists. Everyone is gone.

When considering what the greatest threat in World of Warcraft is, one quickly enters a competition of superlatives. The first might still say “Arthas!”, the next “The Burning Legion!” But sooner or later we end up with the Void Lords. These are the most feared creatures in the cosmos. At least, they used to be. Because Chris Metzen just dropped: There are no more Void Lords.

Start video
WoW Midnight shows gameplay – All new features

What are Void Lords? The cosmos of World of Warcraft consists of several dimensional planes. There is not only Azeroth but also a dimensional plane of demon magic (the Nether), a dimensional plane of death (the Shadowlands), and also a dimensional plane of the Void. There in the Void, the Void Lords have previously roamed. They are considered incredibly powerful, hungry beings that wanted to devour basically everything. More about the story and the Void Lords can be found in our lore overview of all WoW.

Until now, the Void Lords had no way to directly access Azeroth, so they used the Old Gods as their envoys. In patch 11.2, there was then for the first time a battle against Dimensius, one of the most powerful Void Lords. But that was likely the last battle of this kind.

The last Void Lord is defeated – where are the others?

What did Chris Metzen say? World of Warcraft released a “Deep Dive” on YouTube a few hours ago. The video is mainly about the game systems and the story of Midnight. However, it was introduced by Chris Metzen, the story guru behind WoW, who summarizes the events of The War Within and the current antagonist Xal’atath. After all, Xal’atath has control over the power of Dimensius, after we sealed it for her in the Heart of Darkness.

But Chris Metzen chooses his words carefully and reveals an important detail, as he says:

“And recently, Xal’atath has seized the power of the last Void Lord, Dimensius.”

Yes, you read that right. Chris Metzen spoke of the “last” Void Lord. With that, he practically mentioned “in passing” that there are no other Void Lords anymore. The great cosmic threat posed by the Void Lords practically no longer exists.

Where have the Void Lords gone? Although Metzen does not say it precisely, one can piece together what has happened to the Void Lords. For the Void devours, and that applies to all creatures of the Void.

It stands to reason that the Void Lords devoured each other until only Dimensius was left. After all, we partially learn this in the battle against Dimensius – there he summons two “lesser” Void Lords that he has already devoured over the course of his life.

For many in the community, it came as a surprise that the Void – aside from Xal’atath – has thus disappeared as a cosmic opponent. Because apart from Dimensius, who is sealed in the Heart of Darkness, there are no other Void Lords left. But who knows if that will change again. Perhaps we will learn more about it in the upcoming expansion Midnight.

Twitch streamer creates a mod for Red Dead Redemption 2 that is supposed to make players feel guilty – community immediately causes wild chaos

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

A Twitch streamer has made it his mission with a mod to give players of Red Dead Redemption feelings of guilt. However, the fact that the Twitch chat has contributed texts to this mod makes it all ludicrous.

What kind of mod is this? The Twitch streamer Blurs has created a very special modification for the game Red Dead Redemption 2, after receiving the idea from his community. When players kill an NPC, they are forced to watch a cutscene about this character.

The cutscene includes a series of melodramatic scenes intended to give the characters more background information and thus a certain depth. It is supposed to show “unique” memories of the character. Additionally, according to Twitch streamer Blurs on X, it is intended to cause “maximum guilt feelings”.

Community Makes Tragic Mod Funny

How does the community create chaos? Blurs programmed the mod independently and compiled the “B-roll footage” for each character himself. For the voice-over, however, he included his community via Twitch chat.

Some were allowed to provide the scripts, which are then automatically voiced using the text-to-speech function. The scripts do not really align with the rather dramatic nature of the material shown, but rather make most of it ludicrous.

Characters talk about the series Rick & Morty or that they want to become a pirate king by finding the One Piece. Blurs himself says in a Reddit post that it was a “mistake” to involve other people in writing the scripts for the voice-over.

In a YouTube video, Blurs shares a montage from his Twitch stream and writes: “This mod should never have been made.” You can watch the video, which also shows the creation of the mod, here:

The Twitch streamer Blurs is known for regularly taking funny mod suggestions from his community and trying to implement them. There are several other funny mods for Red Dead Redemption 2. For example, one that transforms the main character Arthur into a kind of superhero: RDR 2: Mod transforms Arthur into a flying “superhero” who throws police officers
