In Pax Dei, you are not only allowed to be residents of a medieval RPG world but also to build it with your friends and other players. However, the MMORPG is currently not very popular, yet the developers are now announcing the release.
What kind of game is this? Pax Dei is a sandbox MMORPG where players can not only take over the market economy but also contribute significantly to shaping the world. Players can claim plots of land in the game world and build houses, workshops, or even entire castles there.
Ideally, the individual buildings will then create villages and towns that are designed and managed by the players themselves. However, the MMORPG, launching in Early Access in 2024, is currently struggling. A debate about the monetization of plots through a subscription model lost a lot of trust. Now the developers have a new plan.
Here you can see the beautiful game world:

Positive Restart
What do the developers have planned? On October 6, the Early Access servers of Pax Dei will be shut down and everything will be deleted. Afterwards, they will remain offline until the early launch of version 1.0 on October 14. From then on, buyers of the Founder Edition can start, while the full release of the MMORPG will take place on October 16. All players will then be able to start on PC.
New is the release on Xbox Game Pass. All PC players with an active subscription can play the MMORPG without additional cost starting October 16. This is intended to attract new players to the MMORPG and improve the weak player numbers, which only barely reached 400 players on Steam even at peak times (via SteamDB).
What about the plots of land? The debate around the plots in Pax Dei has triggered many conflicts and caused significant trouble with the players. The new system stipulates that players start with a free monthly subscription and receive a plot of land for that.
As long as the premium subscription is active, your plot remains intact. Those who want more plots can subscribe to a more expensive plan and thus receive more tokens for the plots.
Players who want to play the MMORPG post-release without a subscription can access other players’ plots through guilds in the game and play without any monthly costs.
October is highly competitive in the MMORPG genre:

In Pokémon GO, there are some monsters that are very hard to get. A whole collection of them has escaped from a trainer.
While many trainers in Pokémon GO strive to own better and stronger monsters to dominate the various battle modes in the game, there are others who are on the lookout for the rarest monsters in the game.
Some of the rarest Pokémon in the game are the 3 Galar birds. The shiny variants are even rarer than the regular birds. And curiously, a trainer missed all of them. The cause of this is a small gadget that is supposed to help with catching.

What happened to the trainer? In a post on Reddit, he shows a montage of 3 parts of his journal in Pokémon GO. In the journal, you can find information about various activities such as caught or fled Pokémon, completed raids, or spun PokéStops.
The image shows that he encountered all 3 legendary Galar birds in their shiny variants between October 2024 and September 29, 2025, and they fled. And this, even though legendary shiny Pokémon are supposed to be a guaranteed catch if you encounter the monster and have balls available.

Why did the monsters flee? As the trainer reports, he used his Go Plus+ during the times when the daily adventure incense was active and the birds could appear. This is an official gadget from Pokémon GO, which allows you to automate catching monsters, among other things.
With the Go Plus+, you can choose between 2 different catching modes: automatic catching and catching by pressing the gadget. The trainer had the first of the two modes active. In this mode, a simple Pokéball is generally used with a simple throw, without a curveball.
2 commentators explain in the post why this is problematic for the Galar birds. User Galimor explains: “It throws a single straight throw with a red ball and without a berry and misses the ‘Good’, ‘Great’, and ‘Excellent’ levels. If the Pokémon breaks out, it flees”.
Then Contank clarifies why even a legendary shiny monster can flee, even though this is usually not possible in the game. He writes: “The GO Plus attempts to catch a Pokémon once, and then forces it to flee if the catch fails. All usual rules are overridden”.
How can the problem be avoided? If you use a Go Plus+ yourself and are on the hunt for the legendary birds, you should disable the gadget during the use of the daily adventure incense for safety.
Additionally, user OSRS_Socks adds in the post: “Always use ‘Click to Catch’ when using the daily adventure incense”.
October has started. And with the new month, there are also many contents like raids, events, or spotlight hours that take place in Pokémon GO. If you want an overview of this, then check out our overview with all events in October 2025 in Pokémon GO.

The Worlds of League of Legends are starting soon. The 17 best teams in the world will fight for the biggest and most important title in LoL esports. A young pro will face Faker for the first time in 2025 after having substituted for him in several matches.
Which young LoL pro is it about? The Korean LoL player, Poby, is only 19 years old and has been part of the League of Legends esports scene since August 2021. The midlaner was part of T1’s sister team, arguably the most successful team in LoL. In 2023, Poby played as a substitute for Faker, the midlaner and “Demon King” of T1, for almost a month.
Why is Faker called the Demon King? Fans often refer to the star player as the “unkillable Demon King.” The reason is simple: Faker is not easily taken down, wins many of his 1vs1s in the mid lane, and survives team fights due to his mechanical skills as a player. Additionally, he has achieved 5 Worlds titles, making him the most successful LoL player of all time (lol.fandom.com).

What does Faker say about the name? In an interview, Faker said that the name is somewhat childish, but he has gotten used to it. Especially when he finishes a game with zero deaths, he feels that the name suits him well.
Poby is happy about the comparison with Faker
What does the young pro say about being compared to the legend? In a recent interview with Sheep Esports, Poby answered many questions about the upcoming Worlds on October 14. One of them was how he feels about the comparisons to Faker.
Poby says he is happy about it, even if it’s just memes. While Faker is the GOAT (“Greatest of All Time”), Poby is referred to as GOST (“Greatest of Some Time”). The title of the Demon King has also stuck to Faker’s former substitute. The “killable Demon King” is, like Faker, a strong player, but he is still defeated too often.
What is Poby’s mood before the Worlds? For the first time, Poby can show on the big stage whether he can replace Faker as the GOAT and the unkillable Demon King. Poby himself says he is very excited to meet Faker, but also surprised that he has now reached this point in his career.
Not even 1 week after the official release of EA FC 26, a striker has already played over 1 million matches. Despite the enormous popularity, his card has already dropped by about 60,000 coins and is available at a low price.
What kind of player is this? Omar Marmoush is a striker at Manchester City. In FC 26, he has a rare gold card for Ultimate Team with a rating of 84.
According to the Players Game Performance on Futbin, the Egyptian has already completed over 1.1 million matches in Ultimate Team (as of October 1, 10:45 AM). Since the Player Game Performance only displays the matches of tradable players (see info box), the number of matches could be significantly higher. Because Marmoush also has non-tradable cards, which do not count in the statistics.
What is the Player Game Performance? The statistic is derived from data on the players being offered on the transfer market in Ultimate Team. From the overview, you can also deduce the goals scored in addition to the matches played.
Marmoush has not only played over 1 million matches, but also boasts an impressive goal average. On average, players with the striker score over 1 goal (1.19) per match. He is among the 25 strikers in FC 26 with a goal average of over 1 goal per game with at least 100,000 matches played.
His price has settled at a current low price of nearly 22,000 coins (as of October 1, 10:45 AM) after an initial price of around 85,000 coins during Early Access.
However, the price for Marmoush could rise again towards the weekend, as the first Weekend League in FC 26 is coming. Players are upgrading their teams and strengthening them with the most popular cards.
Start video
Deep Dive trailer on gameplay shows 2 different gameplays and numerous adjustments
Why do many players rely on Marmoush?
That’s why Marmoush is so popular: The Egyptian possesses strong stats for a striker:
Speed: 89
Dribbling: 86
Shooting: 85
Thus, he has 3 core attributes for a striker with a rating above 85 and offers a strong price-performance ratio. In comparison, you can get striker Julián Álvarez, who has comparable values in speed, dribbling, and shooting, starting at a price of over 70,000 coins.
In addition, Marmoush can be easily integrated into any team. He has links to the Premier League, specifically to his club Manchester City. Suitable cheap connections from the same club as Marmoush would be:
CB: Khusanov (77)
LB: Aït Nouri (81)
CM: Bernardo Silva (84)
CB/LB: Gvardiol (84)
That’s why Marmoush also fits the current meta
Why does he fit perfectly into the current meta? Currently, many players are still struggling with defending. Therefore, many rely on massive defenses and fast counter players who can quickly push into the opponent’s half after winning the ball while the defense is still disorganized. With his speed, Marmoush is perfectly suited as a counter player.
He can also use his dribbling and play style “Technical” (for R1 dribbling) to create gaps in deep-lying defensive teams.
His strong shooting stats combined with his play style “Curled Shot” make him a dangerous goal scorer in the penalty area.
This is how you best use Marmoush: To further boost his strong stats, you should equip him with a chemistry style. For Marmoush, Finisher is ideal as it additionally upgrades his positioning and finishing and improves important dribbling values.
You can mask Marmoush’s physical weaknesses by pairing him with a powerful striker partner with good strength and strong heading ability. For more tips and tricks on Ultimate Team and all other modes, feel free to check our overview: EA FC 26: All guides, tips, and lists in the overview

The German Twitch streamer Kilian “Tanzverbot” Heinrich has been inactive on the internet for a long time. A fan account is now creating its own content and deleting the former videos regarding Tanzverbot.
Who is it about? The Twitch streamer Tanzverbot has recently been noticeable mainly due to his absence. He was last streaming regularly on Twitch, talking in detail about his former relationship with the Twitch streamer Lola. That was in June 2025; according to SullyGnome, his last stream took place on June 4, 2025.
His inactivity is particularly strange because in a past Twitch stream, in front of his 150,000 viewers, he mentioned that he only has the internet and doesn’t know what else to do. He further stated that if he could no longer manage to stream, he would have to stop.
That seems to have happened now, as Tanzverbot has not been active on Twitch since the stream on June 4. Otherwise, he has not given any sign on other social media platforms.

Who needs to create their own content? A channel with over 50,000 subscribers posted on YouTube that it would now create its own content. The channel was created and run by a fan named Paul, but in consultation with Tanzverbot.
Before, the channel was called “Doppelpeace” and regularly uploaded highlights from Tanzverbot’s content. The YouTube channel is now called “filmbypaul”.
Paul announces that it was decided together that he would continue the channel with his own content in the future. In the comments under the post, he confirms that he deleted the videos about Tanzverbot at the request of the network.
Finally, Paul writes: “The people who are not interested in the content can of course unsubscribe. All those who still find it interesting what kind of videos I produce are welcome to stay.” (Source: YouTube). So far, the channel has not posted anything further.
The work on the movies of The Lord of the Rings takes a long time and was a significant challenge for some actors. Two actors received a very special gift from Peter Jackson.
Peter Jackson tackled a mammoth project in the late 90s. Not only did he plan to adapt the grand fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, but he also wanted to shoot all three parts simultaneously.
Normally, for such large productions, one film is shot first, and the success at the box office is awaited. But Peter Jackson decided against this and filmed the entire trilogy between 1999 and 2001. There were additional shoots afterward, where extra scenes were recorded.
At the end of the long and exhausting work, the director rewarded his acting ensemble with various gifts. Ian McKellen, who played Gandalf, received the sword of his character. Liv Tyler, who portrayed Arwen, was allowed to keep one of her dresses. You can find impressions of these emotional moments in this video on Instagram.
However, for Elijah Wood and Andy Serkis, who played Frodo and Gollum, Jackson had kept a special gift. He rewarded them with the most valuable thing in Middle-earth.
Epic Trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship
One Ring to rule them …
What was the gift? Many might already suspect it – yes, Jackson presented the two actors with the One Ring. The most powerful weapon in Middle-earth, which naturally exists only once in the story. However, since the film production made a whole series of copies, Jackson was able to pass two of them on.
The curious thing is: The director gave Elijah Wood and Andy Serkis their gift at different times. Both did not know that another actor had also received the One Ring. They were left under the impression that they were the only ones to have received this very special prop.
But Sauron – pardon, Peter Jackson – deceived them all: He managed, like the great villain from The Lord of the Rings, to keep the existence of the One Ring a secret from others. It is unclear when exactly Elijah Wood and Andy Serkis found out that the other also possessed the Ring.
However, it can be assumed that both actors were pleased with the gift. After all, they played two Ring-bearers. The fiery flames of Mount Doom will likely never see these copies of the powerful weapon.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 brings you another zombie mode, but this time it is different. Upon release, there won’t be several small maps, but a gigantic one where you can drive around and solve puzzles. Everything you need to know about it can be found here.
The zombie mode for Black Ops 7 is supposed to be different and more extensive than anything you have played before in the world of the undead. This includes:
A gigantic map with several areas
A vehicle that you can actively drive through the map
New weapons
A story around the soul thief of the protagonists
Return of familiar faces like the Primis characters and the bus driver from Transit (BO2)
For many, the zombie mode is a highlight where they can spend several hours defeating the undead, breaking records, and solving Easter eggs. We are now going into details and showing you what and when you can expect something from the zombie mode.
[toc]
The Zombie Mode in Short
How does the mode work? The zombie mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is a classic, round-based horde mode in which you must eliminate waves of zombies and survive. The goal is to survive as many waves as possible.
Upon release, you can expect the gigantic map “Ashes of the Damned,” which brings you into the heart of the Dark Ether. In addition, there will also be the “Dead Ops” mode – a classic from Black Ops, where you eliminate zombies in arcade style from a top-down perspective.
Besides aiming for high rounds, Easter eggs are crucial for zombie fans, and these will also be there to solve again. The Easter eggs involve complex, often lengthy puzzles that explain the story around your selected map.
Start video

How has the story developed? After the Black Ops 6 team reached the Janus Tower, they were teleported into the Dark Ether. There, they encountered the former Primis team led by Richtofen.
The warm welcome was only short-lived, as they were interrupted by a mysterious figure carrying two cages with skulls. This being, which looked like a cowboy, stole the protagonists’ souls and then disappeared through a portal.
Now you must fight your way through the Dark Ether, find the being, and reclaim your souls to leave the Dark Ether.
Standard, Directed, Survival, and Cursed Mode
Additionally, each map can be played in different modes that are meant to provide variety. The following can be gleaned about the modes from the blog post:
Standard Mode: Play the new round-based map “Ashes of the Damned,” continue fighting against the undead in the Dark Ether, and search for clues about the truth behind what lies ahead. Recommended for experienced players. This map includes access to main and side quest content and will be available from November 14.
Directed Mode: Choose an optimized path through a zombies map, where clear goals and guided progress keep you focused on the main quest. This experience is particularly suitable for new players or those looking to advance the story. Directed is expected to appear after Standard, similar to Black Ops 6.
Survival Mode: For the first time since Black Ops 2, there are survival maps for zombies. They offer a focused, unfiltered experience based on a small section of Ashes of the Damned at launch. There are no quests except for you and your team must survive as long as possible against the relentless undead!
Cursed Mode: Experience a new player experience with old game mechanics and numerous side quests to discover ever more powerful (and cursed) relics. Activate these relics to face tougher challenges and gain new power levels, increased replayability, and rewards.
What Changes/Remains the Same Compared to Black Ops 6?
For many, the question now arises as to what has changed compared to Black Ops 6. Which mechanics were carried over and which are new? Can you still use your gums from the predecessor or will they not be transferred at all?
One fear we can alleviate for you, much from Black Ops 6 has made its way back into Black Ops 7. You can expect the following features:
All your gums from Black Ops 6 will be transferred to the sequel
You can crush unwanted gums during a match to obtain essences.
Your research progress in weapon mods as well as perk-a-colas will also be transferred from Black Ops 6
Essences and scrap remain existing (except in Survival Mode)
There should also be workbenches
Loadouts remain and offer you space for 5 gum packs
This should reassure most now, because anyone who ground a lot in Black Ops 6 will have it much easier at the start of the zombie mode to complete the Easter eggs. Apart from that, regarding items and gameplay mechanics, you can expect the following:
Fire Works, Brain Rot, Napalm Burst, Shadow Rift, Dead Wire, Cryo Freeze.
6 types of field equipment (1 new and 5 known types).
Toxic Growth, Dark Flare, Healing Aura, Frenzied Guard, Energy Mine, Aether Shroud.
There are now ammo boxes where you can refill your ammunition.
S.A.M. tasks have been replaced by T.E.D.D. tasks (The bus driver from Transit).
Exfiltration is possible, but no longer with a helicopter, but rather with a phone booth.
When attempting to escape, you must kill a HVT and his minions, or you will die.
NEW: If some in your squad choose to forego exfiltration and you lose, only you will be killed, the rest can continue.
Each of the perk-a-colas also receives three new augmentations, including one large and two smaller options to the already 6 known from Black Ops 6.
Once all eight available augmentations have been unlocked, you will have the option to add a second smaller augmentation to your effects.
Further known mods of your ammunition and types of field equipment that you know from Black Ops 6, but did not make it to Black Ops 7 at launch, are expected to appear during Season 1.
Can I test the zombie mode? Yes, you will have the chance to test the round-based zombie mode before release during the beta phase of Black Ops 7. This begins on October 2 and runs until October 8. Depending on the type of beta code (whether pre-order or viewer of CoD: Next), you have a chance to start the mode earlier or later. All information about the beta can be found in our beta overview, which we have linked for you above this paragraph.
These were all the important changes for the upcoming zombie mode of Black Ops 7. Are you excited about the huge map or do you prefer smaller maps?
In Dune: Awakening the developers have implemented a change on the test server that should please many fans. It finally allows saying goodbye to the game.
What kind of change is this? In Dune: Awakening the developers have uploaded a new patch to the game’s test server. Among the many changes, there is also one that allows many to finally stop playing the game.
The stated change increases the space for items in the locker, and the maximum weight of the vault is increased as well. Instead of 25 items, after the patch, 500 items can fit in it. The weight limit increases from 1,500 to 30,000. An important change considering the effort many players put in week after week.
Here you can see what a new update in Dune: Awakening can trigger:
Start video
Dune: Awakening verdoppelt nach großem Update die Spielerzahlen
End of the Hamster Wheel
What does this change bring? In Dune: Awakening players have to take care of their base weekly. For this, they need to log in regularly and refill fuel in the generators as well as pay taxes. If this is neglected, for example because one is on vacation for a long time, the base starts to be gradually destroyed by sandstorms as the shields are no longer active.
This mechanic ensures that players have to log in every week since the release, not only to save their buildings but also their items. The locker was so small that you could only save the most important things for a long time and would have to start almost from scratch upon restarting.
The current change, on the other hand, allows players to finally say goodbye to their base and simply store many items in the locker before leaving the survival MMO. The base itself will not be saved, but at least re-entry will then be much easier.
When will the change come? The change is currently still on the test server and is therefore not final yet. As with most changes on the test server, however, it should be implemented in the game with the October patch for Dune: Awakening.
Since this is still not an announced change, it may happen that the values will change again or the increase will be completely dropped. However, this has almost never happened in the past.
With the new change, the developers of Dune: Awakening are helping many players to have a better restart in the game. Additionally, this could also be a first step towards server merging by already providing more ways to secure items outside of bases. With the major update Chapter 2, many returnees felt like this: Dune: Awakening attracts players back with a new update, but they are now asking: Where is my base?

Sometimes you just have to troll a little in World of Warcraft. We have 5 items that are particularly good for that.
In World of Warcraft, there are several tens of thousands of items. So many items that it’s hard to keep track. However, only a few of them serve a special purpose: They are perfect for teasing your fellow players or being the infamous drop that spills over the cup during a tense raid night.
Yes, that’s not always nice. Yes, it will certainly bring you the wrath of one person or another. But sometimes the little troll within you just needs to be satisfied, right?
Therefore, we present to you 5 items with which you can annoy other WoW fans greatly.

WoW mal so richtig ehrlich erklärt
Football
Sometimes it’s the little things in life that are really annoying – whether in reality or in World of Warcraft. And what could be more annoying than having a football shot directly in your face?
Again. And again. And again.
Not only does your character jerk back repeatedly, but it is also accompanied by an extremely annoying sound that sounds exactly like the round leather landing perfectly in the face of the victim.
The terrible thing about this item is that you can spam it mercilessly. Because it has no cooldown or rather: The cooldown lasts only as long as the animation, until the football comes back to you.
Nothing is more annoying than when one (or several) choose the raid leader who is trying to explain the boss strategy in Discord and is constantly drowned out by the terrible sound of the footballs.
When people say they have disabled the in-game sound in World of Warcraft, it’s very likely that the football is one of the reasons for that.
Where can I get the football? You can buy the football from various toy vendors in World of Warcraft all year round. If you regularly participate in the Winter Veil festival, you may have already received it from a gift under the Winter Veil tree.
If that’s not the case, simply travel to Dalaran and visit the NPC Jepetto Funfizz – he sells the football for a mere 40 gold pieces.

You can now challenge Duraludon in Pokémon GO for the first time. To ensure the battle is successful, we have compiled the best counters for you.
When is the monster available in Pokémon GO? Duraludon will be available from September 30, 2025, to Tuesday, October 7, 2025, in 4-star Dyna-Raids in Pokémon GO. It is part of the Steel Skyscrapers event.
What weaknesses does the monster have? The Pokémon has Steel and Dragon types. Because of this combination, it is weak against Fighting and Ground type attacks.
Start video

With these counters, the battle against Duraludon will be successful
What are the best attackers? The best attackers to deal maximum damage to Duraludon during the Dynamax phases are monsters with Fighting and Ground type attacks. If you have the opportunity, you should definitely use Gigantamax Machamp.
Gigantamax Machamp is currently the strongest Fighting type Pokémon. All other options, which you can find in the following table, are less effective than Gigantamax Machamp.

What defenders are recommended? You use defender Pokémon to tank Duraludon’s attacks until your Dynameter is full, and you can switch to your attacker.
As defenders, Zamazenta (Crowned Shield) and Dynamax Blissey are particularly recommended. Zamazenta has resistance against all attacks that Duraludon can perform. Blissey generally has high defense and HP values. If you can, you should rely on one of these monsters.

Fast Attack
Zamazenta (Crowned Shield)
Metal Claw
Dynamax Blissey
Pound
Dynamax Metagross
Fury Cutter
Zacian (Crowned Sword)
Metal Claw
Dynamax Corviknight
Sand Attack
Can Duraludon be defeated solo? Duraludon has 2 out of 3 possible charge moves. They are Flash Cannon, Dragon Claw, and Hyper Beam. If it does not have the charge move Hyper Beam and you have a very good team with sufficiently high levels and trained Dynamax moves, you can defeat Duraludon solo with some luck.
For this, you can use a Gigantamax Machamp and 2 Dynamax Blissey. Fill your Dynameter with Blissey and switch to Machamp during the Dynamax phase. Then switch it out and use Blissey again to repeat the process.
If you want to be sure, you should count on more trainers. Depending on how good your teams are, you should adjust the number of trainers. If you are 3 or 4 trainers with weak teams, think about the typical allocation in tough Dynamax battles of attackers, defenders, and healers.
While 1 – 2 trainers act as attackers, there should be one trainer who uses shields as a defender and one trainer who takes care of healing.
October has begun. And as usual, the new month brings some events, raids, spotlight hours, and other content to Pokémon GO. If you want to know what they are and when they take place, feel free to take a look at our overview of all events in October 2025.

The Twitch streamer Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris often stood out due to his driving behavior. Now he admits to a mistake when he relied on his autopilot.
Before that, he activated his “autopilot”, as he said, so that the car would brake without him. However, it does not brake steadily by itself, but the emergency assistant eventually intervenes with an automatic emergency braking.
MontanaBlack complains about it: “But that was autopilot. (…) One should simply not rely on modern technology. That was a good example. That was autopilot and I had to brake myself.” (Source: Reddit).

Twitch: MontanaBlack is criticized for his driving behavior
“Eyes on the Road”
What does MontanaBlack say about the incident now? In a subsequent Twitch stream, MontanaBlack talked about the incident. MontanaBlack understands “cruise control/autopilot” to mean that the car would manage speed, distance, braking, and acceleration by itself.
He admits that it was a mistake to turn around with sunglasses on while driving and emphasizes several times that it was “stupid” and “dumb”.
He also sees the main mistake as his own: “No matter how nice your system is and how expensive it is, don’t rely on it. Eyes on the road. It was a mistake on my part. I’m realizing that. No matter how cool my new sunglasses were, I shouldn’t have turned around like that even if I had my system on.” (Source: YouTube from minute 03:14).
How does the community react? Some voices from the community react surprised at MontanaBlack’s insightful statement:
The user No-Band-2074 writes on Reddit: “As much as I can’t stand him, I can’t blame him fully here. These assist systems are practical, but they also make you rely too much and become careless. (…)”
Also eledile 55 seems surprised on Reddit: “Surprisingly insightful and well-stated. Hopefully, he learned something from it.”
User ThePixelLord12345 is also satisfied with MontanaBlack’s response (Source: Reddit): “He didn’t say anything wrong overall. At first, I thought it was heading towards ‘not my fault’, but at least he admitted it was stupid. That’s fine with me.”
Others under a post on Reddit remain critical of MontanaBlack. After all, there have been several incidents in the past where the Twitch streamer was criticized for his driving behavior.
How much MontanaBlack has now learned from the incident and whether he will no longer rely on the system in the future or how else he behaves in traffic remains to be seen.
The MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online launched in 2007 and has maintained itself thanks to a loyal community until today. Even though the release was so long ago, there are now even queues again.
The Lord of the Rings Online was released in 2007 and has undergone many changes since then. Over 15 years ago, it was decided to make the game free for all players and switch to a Free2Play model.
Especially the strong community carried the MMORPG through the competitive 2010s to its current state. This year, players were able to enjoy new 64-bit servers that have technically improved the MMORPG.
Even though October 2025 is a good month for MMORPGs, hardly anyone believed that queues would be experienced again, yet they returned to the European servers last weekend.
Here you can watch the teaser trailer for the new expansion “The Kingdoms of Harad”:
Select a MMO video…
Full Servers and Queues
How high is the demand? Not only the queues, but also the daily logins on the European servers are impressive. According to the fansite gefallenehelden.de, players logged in over 250,000 times on the servers between Sunday and Tuesday.
While every login counts, so there aren’t as many players as one might initially think, these numbers depict a better picture than the weak peak player count of about 1,600 (via SteamDB).
Why is HdRO popular again? The reasons for the success lie in several events over the last few months and the current announcement. The developers laid the foundation in 2025 with the 64-bit servers, bringing the community even closer together, which revived the MMORPG.
Following this was a coupon code that is still available until November 3rd, giving away a lot of content and making it much easier for new players to connect with the veterans. The latest announcement probably caused the final increase in players, the new expansion.
What will the expansion bring? The expansion “The Kingdoms of Harad” adds a new area to the MMORPG. Here heroes can level up to level 160 and complete over 400 new quests. In addition to fierce enemies, the expansion will also conclude the story “Song of Waves and Wind”, thus wrapping up an important story chapter of the MMORPG.
An extremely popular mount is available starting today in World of Warcraft. But you only have a few weeks.
The reactions to the Trading Post in World of Warcraft are quite mixed month after month. Of course, there are always different topics, and hitting the taste of everyone is difficult, if not impossible. However, in the month of October, Blizzard seems to have struck a chord with the community – as a reward from the Trading Post is making waves.

What kind of mount is this? The “Headless Horseman’s Reins” is known in another variant from the Hallow’s End, but this time you can buy a dark version of this horse at the Trading Post – for 700 Trader’s Tokens, which is a little more than 2/3 of the available amount this month. Since the mount looks quite impressive with its burning hooves and detailed armor, one might be able to overlook the cost.
If you have no use for the horse, there is a second mount this month – simply as a reward for completing the travel journal for October. A Fel-corrupted Elekk mount, which will fit all Draenei who have earned the red “Man’ari” customization:
The Fel-Elekk is for those who have no use for horses.
How long do you have? If you want to get the “Headless Horseman’s Reins”, you have a little over 4 weeks, specifically the entire month of October. If you do not have the necessary Trader’s Tokens available this month, you can also “freeze” the mount and transfer it to a later month to buy it in November or December.
Community celebrates the mount, will overshadow all other mounts
Looking at the community reactions to the new mount, they are extremely positive. A post in the Subreddit of WoW titled “The Trading Post in October has a mount that makes me forget all other horses” has received over 3,000 upvotes. Even in the comments below, there is a lot of agreement. Here are some excerpts:
“I have saved so many Trader’s Tokens from the last few months, looks like I can finally spend them on something.” – Unlikely_Wrangler_52
“The October Trading Post is eating up all my tokens. The year has otherwise been quite disappointing for me.” – Vrazel106
“The mount will pair well with the entire transmog from Flames of the Dawn.” – Data-McBytes
If you have no use for the Trading Post mounts at all, you can certainly save your Trader’s Tokens. However, there are also plenty of alternatives in World of Warcraft, as some mounts can be farmed relatively easily – we have presented 5 of these mounts from The War Within here.

Fans of Warhammer 40,000 can currently get what may be the best role-playing game related to it at an unprecedented low price.
Which game are we talking about? We’re referring to Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. The role-playing game by Studio Owlcat Games, the creators of the Pathfinder games, was released on December 7, 2023, for PC on Steam, GOG, and in the Epic Games Store.
There are hardly any classic role-playing games set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe – but there is at least one that is really good. Rogue Trader is not only perhaps the best RPG for Warhammer 40,000, it is also one of the best games to enter the world of Warhammer.
Here you can see the launch trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader:

What kind of offer is this? You can currently get Rogue Trader on Steam with a 55% discount. The game currently costs €22.49 in the standard edition. The offer ends on October 6, 2025.
Additionally, Rogue Trader is available on GOG at a discount until October 7. However, it is slightly more expensive there at €25.05. But you get games on GOG completely DRM-free. Therefore, you are not tied to the launcher. Once you have purchased the game, you can also start it completely without.
A woman in the USA won a tournament in Mortal Kombat under special circumstances. Just five days earlier, she gave birth to a daughter who was in her mother’s arms throughout the tournament.
What kind of tournament was it? The woman won a small tournament held by Juicy Game Night in Orlando, Florida. Juicy Game Night (here on Twitch) hosts monthly tournaments in various fighting games, including Tekken, Street Fighter, and also Mortal Kombat.
On Saturday, September 27, 2025, such a tournament took place. The now 10-year-old Mortal Kombat X was played. A total of four people participated in this tournament – including a woman who competed with her newborn baby in her arms and was crowned the winner.
The Mortal Kombat series will receive a new film in 2026, and you can watch the trailer here:

Into the Grand Finale with baby in her arms
Who is this woman? According to her profile on X (formerly Twitter), where she goes by Legi0n, the woman is a 3D artist and a mother of two. She also occasionally plays fighting games, it states there.
However, the best moment of her week was probably not the tournament victory, but the birth of her daughter. The baby was born via cesarean section on September 22, just five days before the tournament (Source: Dexerto).
The fact that she and her husband, who also participated in the tournament, had their daughter with them that day was not planned. But even though the woman was still recovering from childbirth, she decided “last minute” to participate in the tournament.
Here’s how the tournament went: With a 3:2 victory, the woman made it to the final by defeating her husband 3:1. She was also able to win the subsequent Grand Final – all while holding her 5-day-old daughter in her arms.
Her victory eventually went viral on social media.
“As a fellow gamer mom, I salute this woman,” writes mamadovah1102 under a post on reddit, which received 5,000 upvotes.
“Winning with the baby in tow is an insane flex,” writes Criti Fect on X
Under the same X post, Noma writes: “Nobody topping this aura”
Additionally, many people on the internet have good-natured fun referencing the famous “Fatality” announcement in Mortal Kombat, with phrases like “Fertility!!!” or “Bability” (Reddit).
The prize for winning the tournament was $28 (around €24) and a trip to DreamHack in Atlanta.
The beta of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 starts this week and requires a setting on PC, without which the game won’t start.
What is this setting? As Activision announced, PC players must enable a setting called “Secure Boot” to launch the beta of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.
“Secure Boot” is a security feature that protects you from harmful software like malware (for example, rootkits) and ensures that only safe software is loaded when booting your PC. In Call of Duty, this setting is supposed to support cheat prevention.
Here you can watch a trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7:

Players complained: A lot of stress for nothing
Why was there criticism regarding this in Battlefield? The activation of secure boot annoyed part of the community for two reasons that went hand in hand:
The option has to be enabled in the BIOS. Likewise, it is advised that users without IT experience not enter the BIOS unless necessary, and only make small changes under guidance. For users without IT knowledge, enabling it could therefore be associated with headaches.
Although Battlefield 6 required enabling secure boot, the first cheaters still roamed the game within a few days. Players then wondered why they had put themselves through the stress of secure boot if it didn’t help.
If you want to play the beta of Black Ops 7, you should make sure early on that secure boot is enabled – otherwise, you might want to play and suddenly face problems. If you have already enabled the option for Battlefield 6 and haven’t disabled it again, it should still be enabled for you.
Here’s how to check if “Secure Boot” is enabled on your system: Press the Windows key + R to open the dialog box and enter the command “msinfo32”. A window named “System Information” will now open, where you’ll find the tab “System Summary”.
Here all components of your computer are listed, including the manufacturer of your motherboard. You will also see in the line “Secure Boot State” whether Secure Boot is enabled.
How do you enable secure boot? Here it gets tricky. To enable “Secure Boot,” you need to enter the BIOS. This is essentially the firmware of your motherboard and the first software that starts when you turn on your PC. Only after the BIOS has started will the operating system (Windows) load.
To access the BIOS, you must restart your computer and watch the screen. During the boot process, you should see which key to press to enter the BIOS. Depending on the manufacturer of your motherboard, this is often Delete, F2, F10, F12, or ESC.
In the BIOS, you often need to go to the Security section and enable “Secure Boot” there. You can find a detailed guide on your motherboard manufacturer’s support page. In the case of Battlefield 6, MeinMMO editor Alex Mehrwald has also written a guide for you. Since you have to enter the BIOS, you should be able to use the guide independently of the game also for Call of Duty: Battlefield 6: Secure Boot not enabled? Here’s a simple guide

A small indie game is currently a surprise hit on Steam, despite launching under the worst possible circumstances, and the developer almost missed the release.
What game is it? Megabonk, heavily inspired by Vampire Survivors, is currently an absolute surprise hit on Steam. In this new 3D roguelite, it’s all about developing overpowered builds and mowing down tons of enemies. There are 20 unique – and sometimes quite outlandish – characters as well as numerous items and upgrades available.
Megabonk caught the attention of Twitch streamer shroud, who showcased it on September 23rd to over 15,000 viewers and has not stopped playing since (Source: Sully Gnome). On the same day, the roguelite reached 30,000 players on Steam, and over the weekend, according to SteamDB, it even surpassed 80,000 concurrent players.
And this, despite the solo developer Vedinad choosing the worst possible time for his release.

The launch trailer of Megabonk on Steam shows not only fast action but also a lot of “Bonk”
Developer took on genre giants and AAA games
Why was the timing so bad? Vedinad showed extraordinarily poor judgment in selecting a launch date, and that happened multiple times. He originally scheduled the release for September 4, 2025 – exactly the date when Hollow Knight: Silksong was released, which fans had been waiting for years.
Like several other indie developers, Vedinad postponed his release to avoid Hollow Knight – and ended up on the newly chosen September 18th, exactly between the also highly anticipated games Borderlands 4 and Hades 2.
However, there was one positive aspect to the delay, as Vedinad admitted in a video on YouTube that his game was far from finished three weeks before the scheduled release. Therefore, there must have been panic when he received an email from Steam requesting the finished build of his game within the next few days.
On Steam, Megabonk has a “very positive” score of 94% and is still available for 8.28 euros until October 2, 2025.
In Diablo 4 there are various activities to test your builds, but none is as effective as the Pit. Tier 150 represents the ultimate test, but one player makes it look like a joke with his Druid.
What has a player accomplished? The YouTuber BigPapaPlump shared a video showcasing his build. It is a “Poison Vine” build for his Druid. The goal of his build is to maximize poison damage as much as possible.
However, the YouTuber went a bit overboard, as he was able to increase the poison damage through an exploit so much that he even finished the Tier 150 Pit in under three minutes – a dungeon that is considered almost impossible to complete.

Build is unfair, will be banned by Blizzard
How did Blizzard react? The YouTuber seems to have exploited a bug, as the Aspect of Wild Rage, combined with Poison Vine, made activities like the Tier 150 Pit look like child’s play.
Countless Ravens could therefore be spawned, trivializing the combat against the surrounding enemies as well as the final boss. After BigPapaPlump published his YouTube video about his build and the Tier 150 Clear, Blizzard reacted after 2 hours by banning the playstyle (via Blizzard Forum). The Aspect of Wild Rage was temporarily disabled so that the showcased build would not affect the Pit leaderboards.
So you have no chance to recreate the build, but the clear still stands as one of the most entertaining moments in Season 10. The Druid is considered one of the weaker classes in Diablo 4. With this build, he was able to demonstrate, albeit temporarily and unfairly, that even the Warriors of Nature have what it takes to sweep away the strongest opponents in Diablo 4 effortlessly.
Until Blizzard reactivates the Aspect, it might take a while. But until then, you can take a look at our Tier List for the best builds for Season 10. In the current season, every class is represented with at least one build at the top level. There is also a wide selection available for Druids that you can rely on: Diablo 4 Season 10: Tier List with the best builds

One year after his stroke live on Twitch, Andre “CommanderKrieger” Krieger gives an update on his health and how he has lost weight.
This was the situation before: About a year ago, viewers of the Twitch streamer CommanderKrieger were shocked, when CommanderKrieger had a stroke live on stream. He couldn’t speak properly, his pronunciation was slurred. Some viewers quickly recognized the signs of a stroke and informed the Twitch streamer in the chat.
Shortly after, CommanderKrieger went offline, described the incident to his girlfriend that evening, and went to the doctor the next day.
This incident significantly contributed to a change in his life. CommanderKrieger realized that he had been living very unhealthily in recent years. He hardly drank water, mostly soft drinks. His 170 kilos of body weight were a problem, he said.
Now the Twitch streamer gives an update on his health and has good news.

“Harder than 18 years of smoking”
How is CommanderKrieger now? First, CommanderKrieger talks about his diagnosis at the doctor’s: very high blood pressure and a mild stroke.
Meanwhile, CommanderKrieger’s weight is around 120 kilos. In the last year, he has lost 50 kilos and now fits into smaller clothing sizes.
The Twitch streamer reports that he can move better and thus has an easier daily life. He also enjoys life more. In his current diet, he occasionally still eats currywurst or döner, but only in moderation.
The Twitch streamer has also discovered a new passion for himself: golf. There he gets a lot of exercise as well.
What has CommanderKrieger changed? In the last year, CommanderKrieger has done everything to lose weight. He has avoided sugar and only drunk water instead of sweet soft drinks. That was also the hardest part, CommanderKrieger says: “That was the toughest addiction I had to fight – the sugar withdrawal. Harder than 18 years of smoking.” (Source: YouTube from minute 03:30).
More about sugar addiction and how it can develop can be read here on aok.de.
Additionally, the Twitch streamer increased his activity: he started taking walks instead of driving or using the elevator. This also had positive effects on his mental state.
CommanderKrieger also benefited from a “weight loss injection” called Monjaro. The costs are 500 euros per month, which he pays for himself. He also paid for an app that helped him count his calories.
