Level 42 in Pokémon GO requires you to evolve Eevee, use berries, and make excellent throws. We will show you tips and tricks on how to quickly reach Level 42.
This is Level 42: Since December 1, 2020, you can reach Level 50. However, you must first complete numerous tasks and collect XP.
Those who have completed Level 41 and its tasks must progress through Level 42. You need a lot of XP and additionally, you must complete 4 tasks.
How to evolve Eevee into each of its 7 evolutions: The Eevee evolutions can be tricky. First, you can evolve as many Eevees as you can until you get Vaporeon, Flareon, and Jolteon.
After that, you will need a Moss and a Glacial module. With that, you can evolve Eevee into Leafeon and Glaceon.
Lastly, you will need Espeon and Umbreon. For this, you must walk 10 kilometers with Eevee each time, find 2 candies and then evolve it as a buddy. During the day, it becomes Espeon and at night, it becomes Umbreon.
We recommend that you take Eevee along as your buddy before you reach Level 41. Walk the 10 kilometers and then evolve the Eevees when you need them for Level 42.
Another way to evolve Eevee is the name trick. This only works once. Here is the overview:
How to use 15 items during evolution: This quest is actually quite easy. You can use any evolution item available to complete the task.
Simply enter “item” in the Pokémon box as a search command. Then you will see all monsters that you can evolve with an item.
How to achieve excellent throws: This should be the easiest exercise. You can especially use Pokémon with large circles. For example, Makuhita, Pantimos, or Seemops are suitable for this.
How to use 200 berries on Pokémon: Just throw a berry on each monster. If you generally don’t find many Pokémon, then you should use a Nanab or Razz Berry on each Pokémon. Just throw a Poké Ball. If the monster breaks free, you can simply throw another berry. Each berry thrown counts – regardless of whether you catch the monster or not.
You might find some Pokémon in your local nests as well. We will show you a list of all the nest Pokémon that are currently available:
In Fortnite, a lot of new characters landed on the map. You can interact with these NPCs and accept bounties, for example. Where are they?
These are the NPCs: Season 5 of Chapter 2 brought many changes to Fortnite. This includes not only new locations on the map but also new characters.
Among others, the Mandalorian is roaming the Fortnite map, from whom you can get special weapons if you defeat him. He is located at his ship, the Razor Crest. But the Star Wars bounty hunter isn’t the only one you can encounter now.
Where are the characters of the new season hiding?
Scattered across the map, you will find various characters that you can talk to. There you can:
Important: The characters have different properties and only offer a selection of the options. But where are the NPCs?
All NPCs in Fortnite and where to find them
Currently, including the Mandalorian, there are 40 NPCs that you can encounter on the map. These are largely old skins that you still remember from before – and with which you can now interact.
On fortnite.gg, you can view an interactive map that shows where each NPC can be found.
Important: Some NPCs have multiple spawn points, so they are not always found in the same place. For example, “Fishstick” may sometimes not be at its usual spot at Coral Castle but hanging out at Craggy Cliffs. We summarize these locations for you in a list below the map.

The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) introduced its items from the Crown Store in December. Included is an old acquaintance with a drinking problem as a houseguest.
What is this item? The new item is a housing item that will soon be available in the Crown Store (via elderscrollsonline.com). The perpetually drunk Alfiq Sereyne will be available from December 21 to January 7 at 4 PM on all platforms.
The price is still unknown. However, the current houseguest Hroltar the Boastful is available for 1500 crowns. It is therefore likely that Sereyne will be priced similarly.
What is a houseguest anyway? A houseguest in ESO is somewhat like a living interior decoration. You can set character paths for the figures, allowing them to move around your house. You can even determine their walking speed and direction.
You will soon be able to do this with the drunk cult cat Sereyne and create a cozy spot for her to get drunk. She is also one of the funniest NPCs in ESO:
What is special about this NPC? Sereyne is an Alfiq, one of the many subspecies of Khajiit. She looks like an ordinary cat, but is a powerful sorceress. As much talent as she has, unfortunately, she drinks just as much.
She is known from the quest “Birds of a Feather” in Elsweyr. This is one of MeinMMO author Larissa Then’s favorite quests in ESO. There, the otherwise very capable mage is supposed to help you with a mission, but due to her high alcohol level, she brings about a fair amount of chaos.
For example, a teleportation fails, and you must find your comrades again. Additionally, Sereyne likes to vomit while casting spells, and she has to do that quite often during the mission. You can see how funny this is in action in the video:

From minute 17:20, you will find a very nice scene
Until we know what it all looks like in housing, we will unfortunately have to wait a bit longer. The drunk Sereyne will only be available from December 21. However, it is certain that you can create a character path for her and talk to her. We can be curious about what she has to say and whether she stumbles while walking.
What else is in the showcase for December? In addition to the two houseguests, there are more items available for purchase in the Crown Store this December:
The House of Shalidor’s Concealed Realm
The Mount Frostmare
The Companion Dwarven Guar from Sovngarde
Various Outfit Styles
Winter Hats
However, you will need to pay crowns for these, which is the real-money currency in ESO. If you want to know how to make the most of the Crown Store, we have a guide from MeinMMO for you. However, you might also have some crowns left over from your ESO+ membership that you want to invest in the funny Sereyne.

In Destiny 2, Guardians can rejoice, as the dungeon “Prophecy” is returning earlier than expected.
This is the good news: Bungie announced in their weekly blog post that the popular dungeon “Prophecy” is celebrating its return. Next week, on December 8, all Guardians will be able to venture back into the crazy parallel dimension.
All Guardians? Yes, the dungeon is not tied to an expansion like Beyond Light or the ownership of the current Season 12.
Simultaneously with the re-release of the dungeon comes:
This is what you need to know about the loot: The Prophecy dungeon provides you with powerful rewards upon first reaching a checkpoint each week. Completing it the first time in a week grants even the rare top loot. Only through such rewards can you acquire equipment that brings you level advantages beyond 1,250.
So if you want to get raid-ready or push your level for the Iron Banner, you should plan on one run per week. After all, it’s not just the high-level loot that tempts, but also the crazy atmosphere.
This loot awaits you: Two armor sets wait exclusively in the Prophecy dungeon:
The DAITO Forge gear
The updated “Trials of the Nine” armor
These weapons can be found:
The updated Ikelos hand cannon and the Ikelos shotgun – Both weapons can intrinsically create powerful Warmind Cells.
Additionally, there are a few less special legendary weapons in the loot pool.
Why was the Prophecy dungeon removed at all?
The dungeon was new to Destiny 2 with Season 11. With the release of the following season and the DLC, the activity was removed from the game. When this was announced, players were outraged and complained about FOMO.
This is the reason: Bungie then intervened and explained that there was no artificial scarcity or sinister plan behind it. The issue was that updates were made to the game, the engine, and mechanics in the background with Beyond Light.
The dungeon simply was not compatible with the “new” Destiny 2. Bungie then promised to hurry up with the reintroduction of Prophecy – and they kept their word.
What are dungeons in Destiny 2? Dungeons are popular PvE activities that you can tackle with a team of up to 3 Guardians. Think of it as a sort of mini-raid. There are also smaller puzzles, some tricky jumping sections, and tough boss fights against powerful enemies. Additionally, the activities showcase a unique atmosphere.
The bosses in the dungeons are impressively staged.
Prophecy is the only one of three dungeons that provides loot at the current level standard.
The other two dungeons are:
The Shattered Throne – Here you must try to break an old curse in a dark fantasy world. Everything feels very gloomy and like a distorted fairy tale.
The Pit of Heresy – The dungeon takes you into the depths of the Moon, to the heart of a Hive Sanctuary. If you’ve always wanted to storm an orc fortress in Moria with SciFi weapons, you can live out your fantasy in Destiny.
Are you excited that you will soon be able to enter the twisted world of Prophecy again? Which dungeon is your favorite in Destiny 2? Let us know in the comments.
Now Fortnite brings a Kratos skin inspired by the PlayStation hit God of War. We show you where the information comes from, what Sony says about it, and what the skin looks like.
Update from December 3rd: Now it’s official: Kratos is coming to Fortnite with a set.
Anyone who logs in until December 10th can secure the Kratos outfit with Mimir Back Bling, Leviathan Axe, and Guardian Shield Glider.
You can see the Kratos skin in the trailer, including new content for Fortnite:

However, it seems that the star of the God-of-War franchise, Kratos, will receive his own skin in Fortnite. Leaks from dataminers and an ominous tweet from PlayStation suggest this.
Warning, spoilers! We show you here in the article how the new skin looks in the leak. If you don’t want to see this, you should not continue reading.
This is what the Kratos skin looks like
This is what the dataminer shows: On Twitter, dataminer HYPEX shares a photo of Kratos. Along with the announcement for Season 5 in Chapter 2. Apparently, the skin will still be part of Fortnite in the ongoing season.

This is what PlayStation shows: The official PlayStation account shared an audio log on Twitter. You can hear the Fortnite character Jonesy, who is also featured in the story trailer for Season 5.
You can hear Jonesy criticizing himself for researching something that he brought to the island. You would quickly regret it when you find out things you don’t want to know. “Like, for example: The next guy literally defeated several gods! With his bare hands. In a fit of uncontrollable rage.”

When does the skin come out? The confirmation of the skin and an official release date are yet to come from Epic Games. Dataminer Hypex explains that it will happen “soon”.
Kra… who? You don’t know Kratos? No problem. We explain the background here on MeinMMO. The action-adventure “God of War” from 2018 ranks 5th of the most popular PS4 games on Metacritic.
Players take on the role of Kratos, a former Spartan general. His adventures take place in a fantasy world based on Greek mythology. The combo-based battles as well as puzzle and climbing elements from the franchise’s predecessors can also be found here.
During the game, you must survive yourself and show the young Atreus how to survive. Atreus is Kratos’ son.
A fresh leak reveals a new character from Genshin Impact. What kind of 5-star hero is approaching us?
In Genshin Impact, it’s all about the numerous characters you can obtain through the gacha system and then continually improve. Players are increasingly eager for new information about future characters that might appear with an upcoming patch. Now there is a potential new leak that shows a possible Pyro character.
What kind of character is this? Allegedly, Tohama is an upcoming 5-star character. He is expected to be extremely rare, and it will likely take a lot of wishes to pull the character from his banner. He will use the Pyro element. Visually, he appears to be a young adult, similar to characters like Tartaglia, Kaeya, or Zhongli. You can see an initial image of him here:
What speaks against the leak? In the past, there was a supposed leak about the character Tohama, but he looked quite different then and had white hair, for instance. Whether the character’s design has changed, one of the two leaks is simply a fake, or Genshin Impact will introduce skins for the characters in the future cannot be said at this time.
On December 10, the beta of League of Legends: Wild Rift starts for Europe, including Germany. Anyone can participate in the beta for free and try out the MOBA. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch is particularly excited about the LoL Mobile – due to the short matches and fair gameplay.
Otherwise, it is supposed to provide the familiar League of Legends feeling. You compete in 5v5 matches with and against other players, take on the role of champions, farm XP and minions, and can purchase items during a match to become stronger.

Who is Wild Rift interesting for? If you are already actively playing LoL, you should definitely check out Wild Rift. After all, it is basically the same game on a new device.
But Wild Rift is aimed just as much at newcomers and gamers who have not tried LoL so far:
You no longer need a PC, which especially benefits console owners or mobile gamers
You don’t have to plan as much time, as the matches are significantly shorter
You can access the game from anywhere
Wild Rift completely avoids Pay2Win and time blockers, as seen in other mobile games
I myself have been playing LoL for almost 10 years and was at Platinum level for a while. However, in recent years I have lacked the time to experience the MOBA intensively. That’s why I am so excited about Wild Rift.
About the author: Alexander Leitsch is mainly responsible for MMORPGs at MeinMMO. However, he is fascinated by mobile games.
LoL for on the go and on the couch – Perfect for me
What makes Wild Rift so good for me? Because of the shorter rounds, which I can also comfortably play on the couch, in bed or while on the go with good Wi-Fi, the game is particularly appealing to me.
Simply sitting at the PC for 25 to 50 minutes to play a round of League of Legends is often no longer possible.
Even the mobile version of Teamfight Tactics led me to actively play Auto Chess to LoL. I can comfortably manage several rounds per week there.
TFT I now play more on my smartphone than on the PC.
As a cool side effect, Wild Rift also offers daily login rewards. Through these, you can earn in-game currency for new champions, as well as specific champions directly. For me, a sensible addition.
A fair mobile game: Furthermore, Wild Rift is one of the mobile games that focuses entirely on fairness and avoids annoying elements like time barriers or Pay2Win. Like in the PC game, there are free heroes and others that I can earn through in-game currency.
Instead, I can spend money on prettier skins or cosmetic content like symbols or new emotes in the game.
Interestingly, there were discussions between Riot and Tencent about a mobile version of LoL prior to its release (via Dotesports). After all, the Chinese giant Tencent bought the last shares in Riot Games in 2015 and “owns” the company Riot Games now.
However, Riot decided against cooperation. It was said that Riot had concerns that they “might not be able to transport the LoL feeling from PC to mobile.”
Tencent therefore developed its own game:
In China, it became a mega-hit as “Honor of Kings”
In the West, however, the game could not establish itself as Arena of Valor, also because there were significant version differences between China, the rest of Asia, and the West. In addition, Riot Games raised alarms: They apparently didn’t like that Tencent was competing with their LoL with “Arena of Valor”
The end of the story was: Riot Games gave in and developed a “LoL Mobile” after all.
Arena of Valor looks very similar to LoL and is a big success.
What speaks for the success of Wild Rift? League of Legends is a strong brand for us. In addition, the acceptance of mobile games in the West has significantly increased in recent years. Good titles like Pokémon GO or CoD: Mobile are even very popular here in the West.
With Wild Rift, an interesting new title is added that you should not miss. We at MeinMMO will accompany the release and provide you with all important information.
Everything you currently need to know about Wild Rift can be found here summarized:
With Chrono Odyssey an interesting MMORPG is in the works, which is set to appear on PC, next-gen consoles, and mobile devices. It looks stunning in the first trailer.
What exactly is Chrono Odyssey? The MMORPG comes from the Korean developer studio NPIXEL, which is also developing the online role-playing game Gran Saga, and puts you in the role of a member of a special unit called “Idraiginn”. This unit wages war against 12 gods.
You explore a vast world where many stories await you. These are intended to come to life with impressively realistic graphics.
The first trailer shows what to expect and makes a fantastic impression. However, it remains to be seen how much of it is actual gameplay. The Unreal Engine 4 is used.

The first trailer for Chrono Odyssey looks impressive.
What else does the MMORPG have to offer? Chrono Odyssey is said to feature a special job system that offers unique features. However, what those features are is not revealed in the game’s announcement. There are gigantic realm-versus-realm battles, and the fights are said to be fast-paced and action-packed.
The music comes from Cris Velasco, who contributed to the soundtracks for God of War and Resident Evil 7 and was also involved in the music for StarCraft and Overwatch.
What is a job system?
There are MMORPGs in which players are not restricted to a single class and then develop that class into the endgame. Some games, such as Tree of Savior or Ragnarok Online, allow players to switch to so-called “jobs” over time.
These are subclasses or specializations that allow characters to develop in specific directions. This is then associated with new skills and abilities. Often, there are quite a few such jobs.
How the job system works in Chrono Odyssey is still unknown.
What is special about the project? NPIXEL explains that Chrono Odyssey goes beyond an MMORPG. Comics, novels, and a series based on the story are also planned. The entire project is therefore designed on a grand scale.
In Chrono Odyssey you will likely face giant monsters.
This is how players react to the trailer: On YouTube there are some interesting comments (some translated from Korean):
박준현 writes: “Hopefully it will be as good as the trailer!”
황금올리브 asks: “Can we have it on consoles in this quality?”
김영철 is excited: “Wow, that’s cool!”
Leo jo says: “I need to sign up for the closed beta!”
The Anime G says: “This looks so hot!”
Jay Sabilla says: “This should have been the trailer for FF16!”
젤다의전설야생의숨결2 존버중 has a request: “Please let it not be a mobile game!”
When is the game set to start? There is no release date yet for the interesting MMORPG Chrono Odyssey. However, the testing phase is planned for 2021. The release is to take place on PC, next-gen consoles, and mobile devices. The development team states that graphics and UI will be adapted to each platform.
What do you think of Chrono Odyssey? Would this be an MMORPG that interests you?
The eSports organization Team 33 has announced that they have signed 8-year-old player Joseph Deen as a professional for the online shooter Fortnite . Reportedly, they are paying him a $33,000 signing bonus. The news has raised eyebrows. It seems like a PR stunt or a fake, as the 8-year-old will not be able to play professional Fortnite for another 5 years.
Where does the news come from? Team 33 released the news themselves as a press release through an international service (via prnewswire).
It is said that two years ago, they discovered the 6-year-old Joseph “Gosu 33” Deen as a talent, trained with him almost daily, and have now signed him as a Fortnite professional.
At the contract signing, the now 8-year-old Deen:
received a $33,000 signing bonus (about €27,120)
got a gaming setup worth $5,000 – this setup is supposedly given to every player who signs with Team 33
The young pro says he is living a dream. Other teams did not take him seriously. But Team 33 gave him a chance. Now he is overjoyed.

Fortnite can only be played professionally from the age of 13
What makes the news so strange: It’s actually complete nonsense to make an 8-year-old a Fortnite pro, as he can only start playing Fortnite professionally in 5 years when he is 13 years old.
Before that, he is not allowed to participate in any tournaments. He is just too young.
There have been cases where young players signed a professional contract, but it had to be dissolved. This just happened to a 13-year-old in LoL recently.
Why they would pay an 8-year-old a juicy bonus of $33,000 seems completely strange.
FaZe H1ghsky1 made headlines in 2019 as too young Fortnite pro.
Team in Hollywood with a Sound Studio Villa as Headquarters
What kind of team is it that signs an 8-year-old? That alone is strange. The founding of the eSports organization Team 33 was announced in November 2020, also through their own press release (via prnewswire).
Allegedly, Team 33 is a team based in Hollywood. The “headquarters” of the team is a sound studio in the Hollywood Hills called “House 33,” a luxurious villa.
This sound studio is now also supposed to serve as a “first-class training facility for gamers.”
The founder behind the company and CEO is Tyler Gallagher, who runs a company for “alternative currency,” such as Bitcoin or gold.
Apparently, they have identified eSports as an attractive investment field.
The team plans to announce its official lineup in 2021. At the moment, the team is still completely unknown in eSports and is viewed skeptically.

How credible is this? The whole situation seems dubious. The “Team 33” website looks still under construction. Links to Discord lead to nowhere. There is no imprint.
Overall, the whole eSports site seems as if large parts have been copied from the website of the sound studio.
However, there seems to be a genuine connection to this sound studio, “House 33.” A picture of Gosu 33 together with FaZe Banks, who is the head of a large eSports organization, was shared on the Instagram channel of the sound studio (via instagram).
Overall, the action seems dubious. Either it is a pure PR gag to generate attention, knowing how much the public will be outraged by the signing of an 8-year-old. Or it is even a hoax, a joke.
In any case, they have achieved the goal of making people talk about the team. The news is being discussed internationally:
Many are surprised by this action. It cannot possibly be good and healthy for an 8-year-old.
Others are upset that they were not paid as well for their immense talent in video games during their youth.
Some doubt that this entire organization is real – it does not look real.
Others dismiss this experience as just another madness attributed to 2020, the year when everything somehow went downhill.
This is Jordan Herzog, known as Crimz. He has been trained to become an eSports pro since he was 3.
We reported on MeinMMO in 2019 about 16-year-old Jordan Herzog. He has been trained by his father to become a professional gamer for over ten years. The father sees great potential in eSports and is developing his son into a star:
Last weekend, we remembered your first MMORPGs together. Here’s what you told us.
Here’s what it was about: Our first MMORPGs often leave a big impression on us and remain a fond memory for a long time. We like to think back on the “good old days” and how cool, big, and new everything was back then.
And so you shared with us in the comments under our survey about how it was for you playing your first MMORPGs. There was a lot of enthusiasm and humor about how terrible some of those games actually were. In a nice way.
Fiesta Online
One of the games that was well represented in your comments was Fiesta Online. The colorful anime game from Korea was the entry point into the online world of MMORPGs for many MeinMMO readers. However, even though the comments praised Fiesta, you didn’t view the game through rose-colored glasses.
You are very aware of Fiesta’s flaws and problems today:
My first MMO was a terrible anime grinder called Fiesta Online. How I loved that stupid game. In retrospect, there’s hardly anything that stands out from a gameplay perspective.
The quests were dull and unoriginal, the story barely existent, and the closer one got to the level cap, the grindier it became. Oh, and the pressure from the item shop was at times really significant, as far as I remember – and yet I had fun. Some might say I should have known better – or perhaps I was just easily impressed at 11/12 years old. What I actually find really great about the game, both then and now, is the music. There are some catchy tunes in there. […]
MeinMMO reader Swoobat
Fiesta Online lured players in with the easy entry of a free-to-play MMORPG, where no credit card or bank account was required. On the other hand, it also attracted players with its pretty design, which resonated well with anime fans in Germany.
For a long time, pay-to-win became a significant issue for some of our readers.
For me, it was Fiesta Online. It was fresh on the market and I played it for a few years.
What made it special for me was the anime style, as I was a very large fan back then. […] The problems that made me stop playing were that it became too pay-to-win. At first, I didn’t notice, as the game was my life, and I neglected many other things, investing a hell of a lot into it.
MeinMMO reader Vallo
In one thing, the comments about Fiesta Online were unanimous. You met great people in the game with whom you had a lot of fun. It’s a memory that cannot be tarnished by the harsh pay-to-win and grind aspects of Fiesta. And having cool teammates and good friends is one of the most important things in an MMORPG.
What captivated me completely were the people I met with whom I could explore the new world that seemed so huge and incredible to us back then. I still keep in touch with two of them after over 10 years.
MeinMMO reader Vallo
Dark Age of Camelot
By far the most frequently mentioned MMORPG in the comments under the article and on Facebook was Dark Age of Camelot. Originally released in 2002 in Europe, DAoC adopted the setting of Norse mythology and Celtic high fantasy, taking place after the death of King Arthur.
The game properly introduced many of you to the world of MMORPGs and taught you how this type of gaming actually works.
For me, it was indeed Dark Age of Camelot. […] I still remember being quite blown away after the first login, especially due to the size of the 3D world.
And I remember desperately trying to level my mentalist by beating the mobs with my staff. That didn’t go very well for long. Until I eventually figured out that other “mages” were using spells. I invested way too much time in this game, but I still wouldn’t want to miss much of it.
MeinMMO reader chips
Others were captivated by Dark Age of Camelot especially because of its great PvP system. In the “Realm vs. Realm” PvP, players could bash each other’s heads in huge battles until the rooster crowed.
It’s no coincidence that the MMORPG made it to our Top 10 MMORPGs with the best PvP. It undoubtedly provided a unique PvP experience for its time.
The plus of DAoC was that it was […] three MMOs in one, set up in a triangle, and in the middle was the realm vs. realm.
Then there was also the Minne, a character we called that. She could run, which was pretty nice. And so we went into RvR, Minne at the front, and 50-100 men followed her. It looked like a giant snake as we mowed down everything in our way. But not just other players; there were also bosses to kill in RvR, which was really cool.
MeinMMO reader Tronic48
The dungeons of Dark Age of Camelot also stayed in your memories. They consumed a lot of time and could sometimes take many hours. Additionally, one often had to wait a long time before forming a group to run them.
Also from Korea came the MMORPG Flyff, which was released in the USA in 2005. Although there was no EU release, many of you still played on the US servers.
The colorful graphic style of the free-to-play MMORPG and its unique ability to fly on mounts introduced many young gamers to the world of MMORPGs.
However, even with Flyff, you make no secret in the comments that it had its flaws and problems, which were often only noticed when you grew older and gained more experience in the MMORPG genre.
I believe my first MMORPG was Flyff. It was a grind festival, and I loved it. What motivated me back then was the leaderboard, where you could see who had the highest level on the server, and of course I wanted to reach it too.
Naive as I was back then as a young person, I had no idea that achieving such a goal required EXP buffs and a party member. I simply didn’t know that the cash shop provided such an advantage and never used it, so I happily ground my time after school and thought it would be fine. […]
MeinMMO reader Keragi
In the comments under the article and on Facebook, many remembered the grind in Flyff. With each level-up, the amount of EXP needed for the next level increased dramatically until one required almost astronomical amounts per level.
But leveling took so long. Often it was 0.02% per mob. I added a “night shift” once. I played through the whole night, died twice, lost EXP as a result, and the night shift was pretty much ruined. […]

Unfortunately, the grind became harder with rising levels until it became unenjoyable for some to battle through the massive amounts of EXP. The loss of EXP after death hit you very hard and also led some to quit the game.
However, you still fondly remember Flyff, and some wouldn’t mind checking it out again.
Ragnarok Online
Ragnarok Online is probably one of the most famous MMORPGs that have come to us from Korea. About 1.5 years after its release in Korea, the European servers went online.
The colorful anime MMORPG with an isometric perspective offered a wide variety of classes that were upgraded and expanded through the rebirth system, many world bosses, and the PvP system “War of Emperium,” where countless players bashed each other’s heads in.
For some MeinMMO readers, it was their first experience being in a game with so many other people.
My first MMORPG was Ragnarok Online. I played it at release and have never seen so many people anywhere else!
The capital was just so crowded with merchants; you can’t imagine it.
Also, dealing damage to zombies with “Heal”. Or teleporting other players and so on. The class system was just unique, or rather, the job system.
I think the game was very advanced in terms of possibilities for its time.

Ragnarok also came to us at a time when “the internet” was a comparatively new thing in private homes. Back when there were still internet cafes and AOL CDs with time limits to spend on the World Wide Web, and we didn’t yet carry flat rates on our smartphones in our pockets.
It was special [Ragnarok Online] because we got a new PC from our doctor, which had a modem in it. I snatched an AOL 650-minute CD, […] so that on the day I was home alone […], I could disconnect the phone and start playing. That was a truly great moment and an amazing day.
I had known about the game for a while, as I often traveled 20 kilometers to the city to the Dragon Cave and to the train station […] to treat myself to anime magazines, video game magazines, as well as White Dwarf, Warhammer figures, and Pokémon cards. […]
I did all this back then because the topic of the internet was rather nonexistent for my parents. Video games were okay, a PC required some persuasion, but the internet was too much.

Since the original release of Ragnarok Online, there have been many attempts to reboot the MMORPG, create a sequel Ragnarok 2, or port the game to other platforms.
They were sometimes more, sometimes less successful. However, none managed to invoke a passion “like back then.”

In Genshin Impact a new event could start soon. A dataminer has shared information about it. The event seems to be significant, as new enemies and materials are expected to come to the game.
This is the status of Genshin Impact: The RPG has only been on the market since the end of September and has been regularly providing its players with new content since then.
At the end of December, Update 1.2 is set to introduce a new area and apparently a large event is also scheduled to start simultaneously. This is revealed by the dataminer NEP NEP on Twitter, who also shares details about new enemies and materials.
This is what the big event is about
This has been revealed: The event is set to start together with Update 1.2. It is expected to introduce the snowy area of Dragonspine Mountain to the game.
Images have surfaced showing new enemies. They appear visually fitting for the snowy area and could mainly be found there.
In addition to the enemies, a new resource has also been shown that you can presumably farm. According to the leaks, this resource is supposed to be a type of currency that helps unlock rewards in the event shop.
The leaker also reveals that there will be “Field Trials.” For this, you need to complete some tasks, and as a reward, there will be various guides that can be seen below in the tweet. Another reward should be another Crown of Wisdom, which was available back in November. This item is really useful and you shouldn’t miss it.
Another find is the rewards that are supposed to be available in Update 1.2 for numerous actions. We will embed the tweet about this leak:
Overall, a lot in this event is supposed to revolve around icy regions. This fits, as winter has set in, and many other games are also releasing winter events.
When is the event supposed to start? The date mentioned is December 23. This is when Update 1.2 is supposed to be released, which will also bring new characters into the game.
The leaker states that the 5-star character Albedo and the 4-star character Rosara are supposed to be introduced.
What you need to keep in mind: This is currently just leaks. Although the leaks show some actions from the game and seem trustworthy, they have not yet been officially confirmed by the developer miHoYo. Therefore, you should view these leaks with a degree of skepticism.
However, the new character Zhongli is officially confirmed. He is already available in the game:
The Division 2 recently teased a special event named “Codename: Nightmare” for the winter. Now there is an update: The event is coming in 2021 and will be completely different from what was initially planned.
The mysterious event was briefly teased in September during a trailer for the Endless Mode “The Summit”. There was hardly any concrete information – neither about the specific start date nor about the content. Codename: Nightmare was supposed to come at some point in winter, run for a limited time, and take place in the already available Kenly College – but apparently in a creepy version at night, which is why some speculated about a Halloween event.
Since then, however, it has been quiet about the event. Until now. Because there is now an update from the developers. We summarize the most important points for you.
Here is the mysterious special event on the roadmap for 2020
Codename: Nightmare – Here is what we now know about the mysterious event
When exactly is the event coming? There is finally a concrete date. The event will be part of Title Update 12.1, which is scheduled to be released on February 2, 2021. This means the event falls in the second half of Season 4, which will kick off with TU12 on December 8, 2020.
What is different? Originally, Codename: Nightmare was supposed to offer a new, special gameplay experience in a repurposed Kenly College. However, this was scrapped by Massive. The developers have shifted the focus of this event instead to clothing.
In short: The mysterious special event will basically be a special Apparel Event with more rewards, where players will be able to earn really good-looking, unique outfits, trophies, and skins, according to the developers. It is supposed to be unlike any other Apparel Event held in The Division 2 so far. However, there will likely not be a new gameplay experience within this framework.
This is where Codename: Nightmare was originally supposed to take place – a creepy Kenly College at night and during a thunderstorm
Therefore, the event has been revamped: But why the changes? Apparently, the effects of the Corona pandemic and related unpredictable circumstances are to blame.
“It has been a tough year for everyone, a tough year for us as well. And one of the consequences is that we had to make changes to our plan.” – said Yannick Banchereau, the Associate Creative Director at Massive.
The hack and slay Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem (PC) has now received the major update “Chronicle 1: Bloodtrail”. Can it help the former Steam hit achieve success again?
What does this update include? “Chronicle 1: Bloodtrail” now makes larger changes to the action RPG after a series of bug fixes and adjustments and introduces new content, something that players have been wishing for a long time.
New game mode: Chronicles – you play Wolcen in a new economy with seasonal events and can make decisions during the adventures to make them more challenging and personal.
Pets that accompany you on the hunt and collect items for you.
New buildings for the game mode “Champion of Stormfall”.
New quest where you need to find clues about the whereabouts of the missing dragon matriarch to obtain 4 dragon babies as pets and an armor skin.
New abilities for ranger/rogue archetypes.
Redesign of the skill trees for active abilities.
Overhaul of crafting with a new UI.
Additional optimizations, adjustments, and bug fixes.

The new trailer introduces you to the major update for Wolcen.
The community is divided in opinion
How is the update received? “Chronicle 1: Bloodtrail” has been available since December 3rd. According to Steamcharts, player counts have also improved. They are now peaking at 4,937 concurrent players.
On Steam, some players have already commented on the update. Opinions are strongly divided. We summarize some voices that have emerged after the update:
Kalazar88 writes on Steam: “The game is nearly unplayable in multiplayer after the Bloodtrail update. The sound had issues, just like the fights, and there was a lot of lag.”
Coogimane says: “The game looks good, but it is still plagued by bugs months after its release. The gameplay and abilities feel clunky and unoptimized.”
babymage is somewhat frustrated: “The game is still not good, the server is lagging, there are performance issues, and that was already during the first 15 minutes of gameplay.”
Here are some positive opinions:
Hammer O’Malley writes: “This game is GOOD! If you like action RPGs, then get this game. I have played almost all ARPGs out there and say: get this game, it’s worth it.”
DK75 states after the update: “You found Grim Dawn cool? Then you will like Wolcen.”
Xlax is thrilled with the improved combat system: “I liked the combat in the original version, but the new variant is really good!”
What does this mean for Wolcen? As reflected in the reviews and opinions of the players about the action RPG after the update, Wolcen has indeed improved. However, there are still problems in the form of bugs and lags. The developers are on the right path, but they still have more work ahead.
With the current update, the hack and slay is still not achieving the success of the Steam launch in February. However, that could change with more updates like this.
Have you already tried “Chronicle 1: Bloodtrail”? Does it improve the action RPG Wolcen in your opinion?
On Destiny 2, the biggest update since Beyond Light is coming on December 8th. This update addresses bugs but also brings a long-requested quality-of-life feature, although differently than expected.
On November 10, 2020, the wait for many Guardians was finally over, and Beyond Light went live. The expansion hit like a bomb, even though there were launch issues. In the following weeks, there were constant fixes and small updates.
What’s coming in Destiny 2: In just a few days, on December 8th, the first fully packed, “real” update for Destiny 2 is coming. Update 3.0.1 is relatively large, with file sizes ranging from 1.5 GB to as much as 70 GB depending on the platform.
Here’s what you can expect just in time for the next Weekly Reset:
Destiny 2 will receive extensive improvements for PS5 and Xbox Series S/X.
Numerous fixes and minor issues will be addressed.
Three of the new Exotics will be adjusted.
You can accept bounties from vendors without having to visit them.
The first Iron Banner of Season 12 will start.
The popular endgame activity “Prophecy Dungeon” returns with top loot.
And the Crucible will be a bit more forgiving.
MeinMMO gives you an outlook on the highlights of the announced changes and looks at the patch notes.
For all the important details about the next-gen upgrade and download size, read about it here in a separate article:
What happens with the new Exotics: Beyond Light brought 2 new Exotics each for Hunters, Warlocks, and Titans. Three of the unique armors will receive changes.
Mask of Bakris (Hunter):
Improved visibility of the visual effect – this means that opposing Guardians will now see more clearly when a Hunter jumps at them with the Exotic.
The item description will be adjusted to correctly name the damage bonus: The additional damage does not affect Guardians, only PvE enemies – this applies to Arc weapon damage and damage against slowed or frozen opponents.
Players affected by Stasis in the Crucible and Gambit will no longer take damage (this was a bug).
Necrotic Grip (Warlocks):
If you were eliminated by the damage of the Exotic, you used to receive the message “Eliminated by the Architects” – that is now a thing of the past with Update 3.0.1.
Icefall Mantle (Titan):
Due to a bug, the description of the Exotic did not mention that activating the protection creates a slow field. The additional effect will now be visibly added for all.
The Mask of Bakris, and the exotic gloves Necrotic Grip and Icefall Mantle
Patch Notes at a glance: Here we give you a summary of the most important changes of Update 3.0.1. For the full preview, visit the Bungie page on Bungie.net.
The new quest sniper rifle can now finally be pulled from the collection. If you dismantled or infused it, you can regain it.
Your collection should also no longer “forget” which page you were on when you viewed an item in preview. Additionally, armor mods will now correctly state the source in the collection and you will see the correct class for shards.
The mercy rule in the Crucible no longer triggers prematurely – this rule ends matches with an unassailable point difference more kindly, instead of forcing players to endure the shame longer.
The Exotic kiosk no longer blinks continuously, even if you own all Exotics.
The new entry for “New Light” guardians and veterans has been eased by some issues. So if you had problems there, you can relax and continue playing after the update.
Bungie also lists a long list of known issues that they are currently working on. Soon, for example, colorblind guardians should have fewer issues tracking the Born of Wrath.
Destiny 2 gets a long-awaited feature – but only in the app for now
What the Companion App will soon be able to do: Along with Update 3.0.1, the “Destiny Companion App” for Android and iOS will also receive an update:
You can finally accept bounties from NPCs without having to visit them.
This will work with your smartphone.
However, initially, this will only work when you are offline, in the Tower, or in orbit.
Tess and her Eververse are often accused of receiving special treatment from Bungie
Whether the feature will also be integrated into the game itself later is still unclear. The guardians have been demanding this for a long time. With one vendor, this already works: The Eververse – it can be conveniently accessed through the menu at any time.
Are you looking forward to the changes and do you think it’s good that Destiny 2 has been so generously supplied with fixes and updates since the launch of Beyond Light? Especially the veterans remember much longer intervals.
Some pre-orders from waves 1 and 2 are still waiting for their PS5 from MediaMarkt and Saturn. But there is good news. Some consoles are expected to be shipped again in the coming days.
What is going on? While some retailers have already shipped consoles from wave 3 on November 19, MediaMarkt and Saturn are still lagging behind significantly.
As the website Gameswirtschaft reports, dozens of buyers supposedly received a shipping confirmation on the night of December 4 – especially customers of MediaMarkt. However, not all consoles are expected to be shipped at once, but rather piece by piece.
How can I see if my console is being shipped? If your PS5 is shipped by the retailer, you will receive a corresponding notification via email.
If you have a customer account at MediaMarkt or Saturn, you can track the status of your order there. In general, you should keep an eye on both platforms.
Some buyers have also arranged for pickup in-store. For this, you will need the pickup confirmation that is sent via email. However, there could be regional differences in the supply of stores, warns Gameswirtschaft.
How did the sale of the PS5 go? Pretty much every wave of pre-orders for Sony’s new console was chaotic. The first pre-sale started too early and almost all retailers experienced technical problems. Additionally, further pre-order actions faced huge demand and technical failures.
Will I get a PS5 in 2020? Sony made many interested parties hopeful at the end of November again that there might be more sales before the end of the year. Whether this refers to the recent sales wave on December 3 or if there might be another wave before the end of the year is currently unknown.
A father wanted to get a PS5 for his son.
However, all the pre-order actions also brought forth heartwarming stories. One father sat down with a total of 8 devices and tried for 13 hours to get a PS5 for his son – and he succeeded:
No BioWare fan probably expected this: Casey Hudson and Mark Darrah are leaving the studio and handing over Mass Effect and Dragon Age to other hands.
What was announced? On December 3rd, both Casey Hudson and Mark Darrah unexpectedly announced that they were leaving the game studio.
Both are very important figures for BioWare. Casey Hudson is the head of the studio and as Creative Director is responsible for the Mass Effect series as well as the next game. Mark Darrah, on the other hand, was the Executive Producer for the Dragon Age games.
In the meantime, Gary McKay (Senior Director of Development Operations) will take over the leadership of the studio.
Casey Hudson wrote:
I have been incredibly lucky in my career to work with brilliantly talented individuals, to create entire worlds from our imagination, and to see millions of people around the world enjoy them. And now, after almost 20 years of work at BioWare, I have made the decision to step back from the studio and make way for the next generation of studio leaders.
It is not an easy decision, and major changes like this always come with a certain degree of sadness. I will miss being able to work every day with our inspiring developers on the biggest and most exciting projects I can imagine. But I also know that this is a good time for a change, both for me and for BioWare.
Casey Hudson, Head of BioWare
Mark Darrah mentioned on BioWare’s website:
I have been at BioWare since the 90s. Since back when CRPGs were considered a dead genre. Over the last 23 years, I have witnessed video games evolve into a truly powerful medium of communication. We are an important part of so many people’s lives. And BioWare has been a part of that journey. While I still believe in the strength of BioWare and will continue to have a place in this conversation, I have decided to step back from my position at BioWare.
This was a very difficult decision for me. The team of amazing developers at Dragon Age makes my life more fulfilling and better. They have taught me so much. But it is also the strength of the team that makes this possible. I know that Dragon Age will not only survive without me but thrive.
Mark Darrah, Executive Producer of Dragon Age
What the two will do next has not yet been revealed. Mark Darrah at least said that he does not know yet.
The next Mass Effect is definitely set to be released.
A new Mass Effect and Dragon Age 4 are still coming
What does this mean for Mass Effect? Recently, not only was the Legendary Edition of the Mass Effect Trilogy announced as a remaster to be released in 2021, but a new part of the science fiction series is also in development. And that will remain the case. However, who will take over the role of the new Creative Director is still unclear. However, Andromeda Producer Mike Gamble is expected to take on a larger role.
What does this mean for Dragon Age? Work is also continuing on the next part of the Dragon Age series. Christian Dailey, who Darrah says is a great leader, will take over from Mark Darrah. Darrah is confident that the team can develop the best Dragon Age of all time.
Both the next Mass Effect and Dragon Age 4 are still in development. Whether the departure of Casey Hudson and Mark Darrah will have an impact on the games and their direction remains to be seen. Very little is still known about both games.
What do you think? Will the departure of Casey Hudson and Mark Darrah affect the new Mass Effect and Dragon Age games?
In Pokémon GO you can catch Shiny Celebi and other shiny Pokémon in December. Jessie and James return to guide you through a research task. What is happening?
How to get Shiny Celebi? The mysterious Pokémon Celebi could already be caught in Pokémon GO, but its Shiny form has not been available yet. In December, Pokémon GO celebrates the premiere of the new movie: “Pokémon – The Movie: Secrets of the Jungle”
As part of this premiere, a new special research task awaits you, which offers an encounter with Shiny Celebi upon successful completion. Additionally, more content will be available, including a new Research Pikachu and Shiny Geronimatz.
Pokémon GO – Movie Celebration in December – What is happening?
During this celebration, you can expect four smaller events. Three of them will start simultaneously. It begins on December 14. That is just one day after the big Community Day event in December.
Events starting December 14
When? Starting Monday, December 14, three events will kick off.
First Event: A limited-time special research with Jessie and James starts. This is inspired by the movie “Pokémon – The Movie: Secrets of the Jungle” and rewards you with Shiny Celebi at the end.
The special part is that this time Jessie and James will guide you through the research.
Jessie and James will also return in the Meowth balloon and have a different shadow Pokémon than during their last visits.
In the style shop, there will be free avatar items available. It is unclear when this event will end.
Second Event: Research Pikachu will be available from December 14 to December 21 in Pokémon GO. You will encounter it in raids and in the wild, with a chance for a Shiny encounter.
During the spotlight hour on December 15, you will frequently encounter Research Pikachu. Additionally, there will be double candies for catching Pokémon.
Third Event: Changed spawns from December 14 to December 17 at 10:00 PM.
In the wild of Pokémon GO, the spawns will change to match the mentioned movie. You will encounter:
Wild: Hoothoot, Blanas, Rotomurf, and Waumboll. Fermicula will appear less frequently.
Raids: Schlurp, Flunkifer, Libelldra, Geronimatz, and others.
5km Eggs: Fluffeluff, Kussilla, Elekid, Magby, Mobai, and Geronimatz.
Shiny: With luck, you may encounter Shiny Geronimatz.
The Twins are now killing in Dead by Daylight. Survivors are getting reinforcements and must face two killers at the same time, being doubly on guard.
It has been a long-held wish of the players of Dead by Daylight to be able to face off against two killers at the same time. This wish has now been fulfilled – although not in the way the players expected. The new killer “The Twins” is now live. The duo is now rampaging on the live servers.

What can the Twins do? The conjoined twins are actually fused together, but the entity allows them to separate. Most of the time, the player controls Charlotte, the main body of the two. She is a standard killer with standard abilities. However, if desired, the killer can switch to Victor and climb out of Charlotte’s body.
Then, the small but extremely agile Victor is controlled, who can pounce on his enemies and pin them for a short time. Already wounded characters will go down in the process. However, Victor can also be left behind on the map to serve as a “lookout” and reveal the location of nearby survivors. However, Victor is also vulnerable. Left alone or after a failed attack, he is stunned and can be destroyed by the survivors. He will then reappear in Charlotte’s body after a while.
The killer’s new perks: Like all killers, the Twins also come with three unique perks:
Hoarder: Two additional chests spawn in the match, and the quality of the items in the chests is reduced. The killer gets a signal when a survivor starts searching a chest within a radius of 24 / 36 / 48 meters.
Suppression: When the killer damages a generator, up to 3 additional generators are damaged. If there are survivors at these generators, they receive a difficult skill check. This perk can only be used once every 120 / 100 / 80 seconds.
Mercy Kill: Each time a generator is fully repaired, the killer receives a token. He can use one token to increase the attack range of his next strong attack by 40% / 50% / 60%.
The survivors’ new perks: Also, the survivor Elodie Beamount has three standalone perks that she brings into the fog. They are:
Assessment: The survivor starts the round with 3 tokens. If a chest is already opened, a token can be used to search that chest again. Additionally, the survivor opens chests 40% / 60% / 80% faster.
Deception: While the survivor is sprinting, he cannot enter lockers, but only creates a loud noise at the location of the locker. For the next 3 seconds, the survivor leaves no scratch marks. Deception can only be triggered once every 60 / 50 / 40 seconds.
Wilderness Wriggle: When the survivor is carried by the killer, he must wriggle free up to 35% / 30% / 25% to activate the perk. Once done, the survivor can knock over a nearby standing pallet – if one is available – to stun the killer and free himself. Then the perk is deactivated.
How much does the DLC cost? Anyone wanting to play as the Twins and the new survivor must pay around €7, as usual. However, both characters can also be unlocked through in-game currency, but this may take dozens of play hours. Those who like to unlock new characters or already have many points saved up can also take advantage of this option.

Patch brings new bugs: As has become a “good old tradition” at Dead by Daylight, the latest patch has also brought some new bugs. For instance, the grabbing animation of the killers seems to be even more buggy and often breaks off. Additionally, all killers with a special chase music (like Demogorgon or Oni) now hear the music that only the survivors should hear during chases.
Destiny 2 will soon receive its next-gen upgrade for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. This should allow the game to run better on the new consoles, but you will essentially need to download it completely anew.
What is the next-gen upgrade for Destiny 2 about? Next Tuesday, December 8th, Destiny 2 will receive the new major update 3.0.1. This patch addresses several issues from Destiny 2, Beyond Light, and Season 12, but also includes the long-awaited next-gen upgrade for the new consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X and S.
This will allow Destiny 2 to run better on the next-gen consoles, and the game should finally take advantage of the new technical opportunities. For example, higher FPS, true 4K resolution, or a FoV slider. You can find out more about it here: Upgrade for PS5 & Xbox Series X comes in December – What’s included
But before you can enjoy Destiny 2 in better quality on the new consoles, a download awaits you. And for the next-gen, this will be gigantic.
This will be the size of the new update3.0.1 for next-gen: In short: On PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S, you will essentially need to download the entire game again – even if you’re already playing it there. The patch download size for update 3.0.1 is
for Xbox Series X and S: approximately 70.0 GB
for PlayStation 5: approximately 67.0 GB
These will also be the final installation sizes of Destiny 2 on next-gen.
This will be the size of the new update on other platforms: However, the gigantic download does not affect players on Steam (PC), Xbox One, or PlayStation 4. The size of update 3.0.1 there is as follows:
Is there a preload? If you are on next-gen consoles, you need to be very brave now and depending on the connection, possibly bring a lot of time: Because no, there will be no preload for this patch – neither on next-gen nor on the other platforms.
The update goes live on December 8 at 6:00 PM German time, so right with the weekly reset, and it may take a while before it is downloaded on the new console generation, and then you can finally hit the ground running on next-gen.
The MMORPG Gloria Victis (PC) has been in Early Access on Steam for several years, but has now transitioned from Alpha to Beta. This shifts the focus of development. Moreover, the release is expected to take place in just a few months.
What kind of MMORPG is this? Gloria Victis is an indie MMORPG set in a medieval world. However, it aims for realism, so you will have to forgo spells, giant monsters, and flashy effects.
There are PvE content like group quests, events, and raids
Crafting plays an important role
You develop your heroes based on skills. There are no classes
An overview of all the content in the game is provided by this graphic, created by the developers in November 2020:
Gloria Victis – An MMORPG for medieval fans
Who is the MMORPG interesting for? Gloria Victis primarily targets PvP and medieval fans who do not place a strong emphasis on graphics. It is evident that Gloria Victis is developed by a small team.
The MMORPG is also Buy2Play (costs 19.99 euros on Steam) and offers a shop with cosmetic upgrades. There is no Pay2Win.
A glimpse into the game is provided by the YouTuber TheLazyPeon, whose video was recorded in January 2020:

How is the MMORPG performing on Steam? The MMORPG has been in Early Access on Steam since 2016. In recent months, it has consistently had around 320 active players, with peaks of up to 520 online at the same time (via Steamcharts).
Although that doesn’t sound like a lot, the community is very engaged and rates the game positively (71% positive votes from 4,104 reviews).
What is changing in the game? As the developers announced in their 250th Weekly Update, Gloria Victis transitioned from Alpha to Beta on December 3.
This shifts the developers’ focus and is intended to bring the MMORPG closer to completion. The Beta is expected to last “a few months” and then lead to leaving Early Access.
Increased focus on optimizations – New content is planned
What does the Beta mean? The developers are now focusing on bug fixes, optimization, performance, and technical updates. They also intend to pay more attention to player feedback.
Only part of the team is still working on new features. However, the developers view Gloria Victis as a “Game as a Service” and intend to implement regular updates during and after the Beta.
This is what character creation looks like in the MMORPG.
What happened with the transition to Beta? With the Beta, a new “Glory Season” began, and the leaderboard was reset. It’s a good time to start with the MMORPG. Additionally, there were numerous bug fixes and small “Quality of Life” adjustments.
Gloria Victis has so far only been released on Steam. It is among the smaller MMORPGs on the platform. However, we will also reveal which are the largest titles on the platform:
