What it’s about: MMOs and multiplayer games are dynamic and change through regular updates right before our eyes. There are significant fluctuations in the popularity of certain MMO genres:
Some new genres experience a steep rise in popularity and fight their way to the top of the charts.
Others “go out of fashion” or disappear completely into oblivion.
However, there are also MMO and multiplayer genres that fought for their place years ago and have remained popular since.
There are regular significant changes in this field and these changes are also reflected in our gaming libraries. Therefore, we want to know from you whether and how your genre preferences have changed in recent years.
So tell us:
What genres are you currently playing the most?
What did you play the most 2 years ago? What about 5 years ago?
Has your taste changed over time, or have you stuck with the same genre? What are the reasons for that?
Here’s how you can vote: You can cast your votes in the survey tool further down:
On the first slide, each of you can vote for the MMO genre you are currently playing the most.
On the second, it continues with the genre you played the most 2 years ago.
On the third slide, you can then vote for the MMO genre you were addicted to 5 years ago.
Keep in mind that the games in the brackets next to the genres are only examples meant to represent them. You don’t have to have played exactly these games, but something in that direction.
The survey ends on April 28. Have fun voting!

The Elite TMs are coming to Pokémon GO this weekend, and we finally know which Pokémon can benefit from them. Here is the list.
What are Elite TMs? These special TMs were announced some time ago and they are finally coming into the game. You can teach a Pokémon of your choice an exclusive move that it could only learn during special events or has since been removed.
Not every Pokémon is suitable for the Elite TM because they simply do not learn an exclusive move. We will show you the complete list of Pokémon that can benefit from the Elite TM.
Exclusive attacks for Community Day can be taught anytime with the Elite TM
List shows all Pokémon for the Elite TM
Where does the information come from? The information about the Pokémon comes from data miners (via reddit). They searched the game files of Pokémon GO and came across this list.
This is the list: Below we show you all exclusive attacks and which Pokémon can learn these moves via Elite TM.
How do you get Elite TMs for the first time? These special items are available for the first time during the Community Day with Abra. You can get an item package containing the TMs for 1280 PokéCoins. In total, the package contains:
Elite Charge TM
30x Ultra Balls
3x Super Incubators
3x Incense
This is how you can also get the TM: Anyone who is active in the PvP League can earn Elite TMs. If you reach at least Rank 7, you can claim the TM as a reward at the end of Season 1, on May 1st.
Other ways to obtain the special Elite TMs are not known at this time. To rank at least 7 in the PvP League, you should choose strong PvP attackers.

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, healthy teamwork leads to victory. However, it was proven otherwise by a lone wolf who was abandoned by his team. Instead of giving up, he played the match of his life.
What’s going on? The fast-paced multiplayer shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare rewards good reactions and refined teamwork. Yet, if you are not out there with your crazy squad, you don’t always get a good team on your side.
This also happened to the Redditor with the friendly nickname “MuricansAreDisabld” (MAD). His team left him high and dry in a round of “Capture the Flag” shortly after the start. He was on his own. 1vs5 in a objective-based game mode. So what to do … also give up? Or go all out?
However, “MAD” had an extremely good day. He remembered that one shouldn’t go out too much at the moment and remained steadfast in the game. Instead of going under, he played the match of his life and got his first Nuke of his CoD career. Finally, a positive lockdown story.
Nuke despite Rage-Quit – MAD is celebrated by tens of thousands
What does it look like? On reddit, he shared the clip of the match and was able to gather over 32,000 upvotes in less than a day:

In the clip, “MAD” cut together 25 of his 30 kills in a row, showcasing his impressive streak. Although the enemy managed to secure 2 flags, it was not enough to stop the highly motivated lone wolf. At the start of the second round, he collected another 9 kills in a row and secured his very first Nuke. He ended the match victorious for himself and his newly joined team.
After this grand performance, one can only hope that he is not classified as a cheater and ends up on the new cheater servers.
How did he do it? “MAD” commented on his post himself and apologized for his camping playstyle and that he plays the popular M4. He also shared his setup:
Barrel: Corvus custom marksman
Muzzle: Silencer (Monolith)
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammunition: 50-round magazine
Grip Tape: Patterned Grip Tape
He proceeded calmly and collected himself to achieve the objectives, ambushing enemies who wanted to bring the flag to the objective. After a kill, he usually quickly takes cover and can thus continue to build his long streak. He was briefly tempted to terrorize his enemies a bit more with the Juggernaut suit, but then decided on the big play and secured his Nuke.
What does the thread look like? Surprisingly nice and friendly. A larger discussion started about the modification options of the M4 and encouragement about “MAD’s” playstyle. Some said that he hadn’t played so campy and had delivered a really good performance:
Zantillex: “Camping isn’t that bad when you play it like in the clip. It’s the camping where you sit in a corner with a claymore and don’t move the whole match that’s annoying.”
CovahMachiavelli: “Honestly, hats off to you, bro. It was damn delightful to watch that.”
CaPtCooKiEee: “Players like you have my deepest respect. Winning or losing against a full team.”
Almost everyone agrees, “MAD” accomplished something big here, and many enjoyed watching. Quite similar to a Warzone clip that became emotional thanks to a banger by Céline Dion to a touching death drone strike.

The head of Overwatch, Jeff Kaplan, has introduced some changes coming to the team shooter: Blizzard has revised the communication. Anyone who wants can replace the eternal “I need healing” with a “Sorry.” 576 new voice lines are coming to Overwatch. A patch is already live on the PTR, the test server.
This is the exciting new change: Kaplan announced yesterday from his home office that Overwatch will soon give players more ways to communicate with other players through pre-made voice lines of their heroes.
This will go beyond the existing “Emote Wheel,” where you don’t have to type clumsily but simply select the right phrase for the situation. Players will soon be able to customize this wheel to their own needs.
This is what the new wheel looks like on the PTR. Source: YouTube
This “Communications Wheel” will allow players to choose from 26 different voice lines for each part in the wheel with the new update.
Every hero in Overwatch will also receive some new voice lines.
As a user on Twitter reveals, 18 new voice lines are coming for each hero, totaling 576.

Here you can hear the new countdown of D.Va in action
Sorry, sorry, sorry and 17 other phrases for each hero
These are the most important new voice lines: Kaplan has presented some options regarding what players can say with the new voice lines:
one voice line is to inform teammates that they should retreat
one voice line serves as a farewell greeting
the third important new voice line is the ability to apologize
additionally, players can now start a countdown as their character, meaning they can count down to better coordinate an attack
Especially the “apologizing” feature is said to have been a major demand from players, according to Kaplan. Until now, only Mei could apologize with the famous “Sorry, Sorry, Sorry.”
Likes to be healed: Genji.
“I need healing” or “Thanks” were getting annoying
This was the situation so far: As some complain, the voice system has mainly been used to constantly beg for healing (especially Genji mains were known for this) or to sarcastically grumble when the match did not go as planned by constantly thanking teammates.
What else is in the update: A small joke in the update is that players can now reset the basketball. You just need to click a switch. The basketball is a thing players like to kill time with in Overwatch.
There are also some balance changes to the heroes. The “too big heads” of Echo and Reinhardt will be reduced as they were apparently too vulnerable to headshots.
Flashback Nuri Sahin is newly available in FIFA 20. Here you will find the solution for the Sahin SBC.
This is Flashback Sahin: With Nuri Sahin, players, especially those who focus on a strong Bundesliga team, can secure an exciting card.
The Werder player has received a strong Flashback card, increasing his overall rating from 78 to 89. This is clearly noticeable in the stats: For example, there was a massive update of 46 points in speed. Sahin’s pace is now 77 instead of 31.
In comparison, you can see how strong the new card is
All other values have also been significantly increased. The only downside is that Sahin has a stamina rating of 80, so he doesn’t maintain that level for the entire game.
Flashback Sahin SBC – This is how you solve it
This is how you solve the Sahin SBC: You need to submit a total of two teams. The first requires an 83-rated team with at least one player from BVB or Werder Bremen. Additionally, a Team-of-the-Week player and a chemistry of 80 are needed. A possible solution could look like this:
A possible solution for the first SBC (via FUTBIN)
The second team requires an overall rating of 85 and a chemistry of 75. It also needs a player from the Bundesliga. However, you have many freedoms here as well. A possible solution could look like this:
This is how you can solve the second SBC (via FUTBIN)
How much does Flashback Sahin cost? The current price for the SBC is about 130,000 coins if you need to buy the required teams completely new. This of course decreases if you already have suitable players in your club.
Aside from that, there are also a Premium Gold Jumbo Pack and a Prime Mixed Players pack for the subtasks, which can help you recoup at least part of the price.
It can, for example, be combined with the Flashback card of Boateng, which is also an exciting alternative for Bundesliga teams.

Resourceful fans of Fallout 76 have found a hidden treasure that seems to be meant only for animal-loving players. We will show you how to find the loot hideout.
This feature has likely been in the game for a while, as an employee from Bethesda expressed joy that the hidden treasure has finally been found.
Radstag leads you to hidden treasure
Here’s how to get to the loot hideout: If you see a mutated RADstag with the trait “observant,” you shouldn’t just shoot it right away.
The reddit user had followed the stag and suddenly found himself in front of a pile of loot hidden in a tree. Here’s a short video of an encounter with the stag:

Players report finding rare weapons, armor, and more there. The treasure is so well hidden that you probably wouldn’t have found it without the stag.
Is this intentional? In the comments on reddit, some players mentioned that it could have just been a coincidence and that the stag didn’t intentionally lead the player to the hideout.
In response, community manager Ladydevann from Bethesda stated: “This is great. I’ve been waiting for someone to find it. I haven’t discovered it myself yet.”
It was also confirmed that the stag is indeed meant to lead players to this loot hideout.
Is such a hideout an isolated case? Fallout 76 is full of hidden loot caches and you constantly have to solve puzzles to access them. For instance, there is a small treasure hidden in a climbing forest.
However, following this stag is not as easy as it sounds. You still need some skill – or a powerful jetpack to cheat a little.

The 1st live event with Travis Scott took place on Friday, April 24 in Fortnite. It was a real spectacle. Our author Eilyn Rapp was there live. See here how the largest live concert so far unfolded.
How did the event go? The live concert started at 1:05 AM. Players were on stage waiting. Music played, and one could see a planet getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, all players were thrown into the air, and a giant, animated Travis Scott appeared and began to perform.
Players were transported from one world to another, where the entire scenery changed. One moment you were watching Travis, the next moment you found yourself underwater, and then suddenly you were in space.

In comparison: At the Marshmello concert, which took place more than a year ago, about 10 million players watched. Thus, the Travis Scott concert set a new record.
The “Travis Scott” concert was simply epic
I, Eilyn Rapp, was live at the concert and must say: It is so far the best live event that has ever taken place in Fortnite.
Who is speaking here? Eilyn Rapp has been playing Fortnite for almost 2.5 years. During this time, she has experienced all live events of Fortnite herself. As a big fan of these events, she is very critical and compares the details between the various live events more closely. The “Travis Scott” concert was her favorite so far, even though she is not the biggest fan of Travis.
Eilyn Rapp from MeinMMO
The whole animation, the lights, the music, and the different mechanics really amazed me. Epic even managed to allow swimming underwater, and that was just for a brief scene in the concert.
There has never been a live event that showed so many different scenes. Each scene had its own accent and new things to discover. I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen.
There were constantly surprises that almost gave you goosebumps. This concert is truly recommended, whether you are a “Travis Scott” fan or not.
My personal highlight: Flying in space and admiring the planets
The execution was so epic that the music was almost pushed into the background. Personally, I think Epic has really outdone themselves. I can truly only recommend everyone to watch it for themselves.

The mood around Destiny 2 is currently poor. Bungie has already acknowledged this and now wants to be more open about its plans regarding the most critical aspects and problems. The studio has made a start with its plans to improve the Trials and the measures against cheaters.
The mood is poor – Here’s what Bungie plans to do: If you are currently on Reddit, generally in the community, or in Destiny 2 itself, you’ll notice in many places – The mood is poor.
It’s not just about the meager content of Season 10. Many see Destiny 2 at a low point, but at the same time, they do not see any measures from Bungie to turn things around. It is criticized that the developers do not even clearly communicate how Destiny 2 and its problems are to proceed.
They made a start in the current “This Week at Bungie” blog with plans for the Trials and measures against cheaters – both major points of criticism from the community.
How Bungie plans to improve the Trials of Osiris
What is the problem with the Trials? The Trials were supposed to be the big highlight of the season but have problems and are almost dead after 5 weeks.
Fair play in the Trials?
A major problem is the rewards. Many find them not attractive enough, especially for flawless runs and compared to other endgame activities. Special rewards, such as the Adept weapons from Destiny 1, are missing. Additionally, it’s sometimes more effective to reset the ticket early after 3 wins instead of going for 7 wins for flawless. This way, one farms rewards through the tokens.
Cheaters are also a big problem in the Trials, but more on that later.
These are Bungie’s goals for the Trials: The aim is to encourage good players to go for 7 wins. Generally, the rule should be: The further you go, the better the rewards.
Players who have already achieved a flawless run over the weekend should receive incentives to repeat it – not just to ruin the flawless for other teams.
Furthermore, Bungie wants to ensure that the Trials offer something for all players – regardless of skill. Not everyone is a PvP god, and the Trials are meant for the best PvP players – Bungie is aware of this. However, someone who is not as good in the Crucible but tries their best at the challenge should also be rewarded.
The Trials gear is not easy to earn
This is what Bungie specifically wants to change in the Trials: To prevent players from just farming 3 wins on the ticket, token milestones will be introduced in Season 11 – at 3, 5, and 7 wins. These will provide increasingly larger amounts of tokens. The bonus from the Season Pass will additionally increase the token amount, and a flawless run will earn you a ton of extra tokens.
For players who are not PvP pros, there will be a weekly bounty that should encourage weekly participation in the Trials – without needing victories. If the bounty is completed, it rewards players with the same item that is also earned for 3 wins.
In order to ensure that the Trials can compete with other endgame activities in terms of rewards, there will be higher chances to earn Masterwork materials through the Trials. In Season 11, there will be Masterwork/Infusion resources for 3, 5, and 7 wins. Additionally, the idea of introducing a new Trials ticket focused on farming Masterwork materials is being considered.
Furthermore, Bungie is looking into how to improve the Trials in the long term. They are currently considering possibilities for new flawless weapons – similar to the Adept weapons from Destiny 1. Although these would not carry the same name, they would have other differences to stand out from other firearms.
Currently, there is the idea for a kind of Adept mod slot instead of the regular mod slot. This special slot could then utilize custom-built mods alongside regular weapon mods. However, this is still an early concept, so a lot could still change.
Big plans are announced in Destiny
These are Bungie’s plans against cheaters in Destiny 2
Cheaters have become a major problem: Numerous players complain that there seem to be more and more annoying cheaters in Destiny 2 – especially on PC. And their feeling seems to be correct. Bungie has now reported that cheating in Destiny 2 has significantly increased since January 2020 – on average by about 50%. At higher skill levels, even more significantly.
Cheating is ruining a lot of players’ Destiny experience with Aimbots, Memory Poking attacks, Wallhacks, Lag Switching, and DDOS attacks – especially for many Trials players. This causes a lot of frustration and adds to the negative mood.
With the return of the Trials, Bungie expected the rise. Therefore, they were prepared and anything but idle. Before the Season of Worthy, they were weekly limiting or banning an average of 656 players, whereas this number has grown to 2,133 players per week in the first 4 weeks after the start of Season 10.
This is what Bungie wants to do about the cheating problem (additionally): However, they are not satisfied with how much cheating is still happening in Destiny 2, especially in the Trials. They want to continue to do everything possible to prevent cheating in Destiny 2 or minimize it as much as possible.
Therefore, they plan to implement additional measures to further curb cheating.
Resources will be reallocated, meaning more staff will be assigned to the critical anti-cheat area. More capacity simply means more effectiveness.
A rethinking of Bungie’s anti-cheat policy is taking place. Members of a fireteam where a cheater is present are no longer safe. Bungie now reserves the right to warn or ban anyone who has benefited from cheating – even if they themselves did not cheat.
Players who play with account-carry services or share account information with these services, allowing them to cheat on their behalf, may also be punished.
“Always be honest”
There is consideration to require a certain amount of playtime for participation in the Trials – for example, 100 hours played on the account for participation in matches where a ticket with more than 4 wins is at stake. By increasing the time it takes for a new account to become Trials-ready, they also increase the effectiveness of bans, as newly created accounts from banned cheaters would not be able to start up immediately.
Furthermore, Bungie might reevaluate the open accessibility of the Trials. The studio states that it may have been a mistake not to tie the Trials to a paid season. This would have provided another hurdle for “Free-to-Play” cheaters. There will be no changes regarding this in the Season of Worthy, but they may rethink this aspect for future seasons.
This weekend, from April 24 to 27, you can test the multiplayer of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for free. The offer is particularly interesting because you can try out one of the most popular maps ever.
What is this action? From Friday, April 24, to Monday, April 27, at 7:00 PM German time, you can test the multiplayer of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with various maps and modes.
All you need for this is a free account in the Battle Royale Warzone. You can easily download the game from the corresponding store for PS4, Xbox One, or PC:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available for free this weekend.
Why do you need Warzone? Warzone is a free standalone from the shooter Modern Warfare, but it also belongs to it. Together, they are among the most popular titles on Twitch (5th place in the last 7 days according to Sullygnome) and are constantly receiving updates.
So if you want to try the original shooter on which Warzone is based or just want to play a different mode than Battle Royale, you should definitely take advantage of this weekend.
Warzone players have an advantage: you already know some weapons and may have leveled them up and unlocked attachments. Progress made transfers between Warzone and Modern Warfare.
In addition, there is a map in the rotation of the multiplayer that is particularly popular among Modern Warfare players and that you must try out.
Shoot House is in the rotation
Which maps can be tested this weekend? For players who want to try Modern Warfare this weekend, there are 5 maps available:
Hovec Sawmill
Talsik Backlot
Aniyah Incursion
Hideout
Shoot House
Especially Shoot House is likely to attract interest because it is a small 6v6 map with some tight spaces and corridors. It is very popular among players and therefore the perfect map for a free weekend.
Shoot House
What game modes are there? If you have not played Modern Warfare or generally have not played any multiplayer shooters other than Battle Royale, you may not be familiar with the modes.
Team Deathmatch (“TDM”): Fight to the death, the first team with 70 kills wins.
Kill Confirmed: Like TDM, but you must collect dog tags from killed opponents to score.
Domination: Three flags on the map that need to be captured and held to score.
Hardpoint: There is only one point to capture that remains for 45 seconds.
Headquarters (“HQ”): Similar to Hardpoint, but once the point is captured, your team cannot respawn anymore. You hold the HQ until the opponents wipe you out or time runs out.
If you want to learn more about it, we have explained all multiplayer modes of Modern Warfare in a comprehensive guide.

A fan presented an idea for visual changes in the upcoming expansion Shadowlands in the subreddit of World of Warcraft. He inadvertently sparked a discussion about features that have now largely been removed.
What was the concept actually about? The reddit user almostharmon introduced his concept for special “little wings” of the Paladin in the upcoming WoW expansion Shadowlands in his own thread.
These wings are part of the Paladin’s ability “Avenging Wrath,” which grants him various bonuses and acts as the “big cooldown” for particularly important phases in battle.
This is what players are now discussing: almostharmon himself mentioned in a comment in his thread that he wishes glyphs would return. This discussion has been picked up by many other players and is receiving support, including from user Rex_Partysaurus:
I totally agree with you, the removal of glyphs must definitely stop. You just have to look at LoL or their own MOBA Heroes of the Storm. People jump on unique customization options […] Customizations for spells are the adjustments that people really want.
Rex_Partysaurus on reddit.
What are glyphs? Glyphs are an old system that was originally introduced with Wrath of the Lich King and expanded with Cataclysm. They altered certain spells and abilities, granting them new effects or different functionalities.
The old glyph feature divided the glyphs into three categories and was almost like a second talent system. Image source: reddit.
Later, however, the system was trimmed down so much that glyphs only had an optical effect, until many of them eventually disappeared. At that time, one reason given was that Blizzard did not want to confuse players when a spell suddenly looked different than expected. This was presumably especially true for PvP.
Why do they want glyphs back? As Rex_Partysaurus has already mentioned, many players apparently want the ability to make their spells look visually appealing. However, they also mention a second reason.
Due to the fact that many classes are now accessible to many more races, they are losing some of their racial identity. For example, priests of different races have quite different sources for their powers, but this is not reflected in the spells.
With such optional customizations, class abilities could be aligned with the races. Blizzard is already planning to bring back many abilities from the past for the classes. Perhaps the fan’s desire for glyphs will be addressed one day.

The new Borderlands 3 patch is coming tonight and brings the Mayhem 2.0 mode. But the patch notes contain plenty of other new content that will turn the endgame of Borderlands 3 upside down.
When is the Borderlands 3 patch with Mayhem 2.0 coming? The patch is expected to go live on all platforms tonight, by 9:00 PM at the latest. As usual, you will recognize it by the “Hotfixes Applied” banner that appears in the main menu. However, that’s the only thing that is typical about this patch.
Mayhem 2.0 and Cartel Revenge Launch
This is in the patch: As previously announced, Borderlands 3 turns its endgame inside out with the new patch. The Mayhem 2.0 mode launches, transforming the previous 4 Chaos levels into 10 new Mayhem tiers. Additionally, there are over 25 insane modifiers that change the game based on difficulty. For example, there are now giant heads and lava floors!
Giant heads are just the beginning of the chaos
In addition, the “Cartel Revenge” event starts, sending you on a gangster hunt, which you should prepare for with as much money as possible. It introduces a new location called Villa Ultraviolet that you must reach to take down the cartels.
This is how much space you have now: With the update, the bank and your backpack are expanded. You can now buy more SDUs from Marcus to make room for the many new weapons that have come into the game with the DLCs and events.
Backpack: Gains 10 more slots
Bank: Gains 100 more slots
Additionally, the capacity for heavy and sniper ammunition is increased. Here, you can also grab more SDUs from Marcus.
Galactic Loot Event, Moze Buffs, and Bug Fixes
Another event: Besides the cartels, the mini-event “Galactic Loot” is also coming to the game. This is a four-week tour where individual planets will offer better loot in weekly rotation.
You can snag special legendary loot – and the zones on the planets are also sorted by weapon types. The distribution looks as follows:
Each week features a different world

The mood at Destiny 2 is bad. Now the community manager of Bungie has admitted this. A communication offensive is set to start. The first topics will be cheaters and the Trials of Osiris. Initial measures are to be presented tonight.
What was the reason for the announcement? On reddit, the mood around Destiny 2 is currently in the basement. One player clearly states: He has invested 6000 hours in Destiny and is an unsatisfied customer. He is now at the point where he will not invest any more money in the game if Bungie does not start addressing the problems.
The player says: “I need to know if there is a light at the end of the tunnel.”
This is how some Guardians feel in Destiny: The mood in Season 10 is bad.
Weekly updates on the key topics
This is the announcement: The community manager of Bungie, Cozmo23, appeared in the thread. He returned to his former place of work: Cozmo came 2015 from the Destiny subreddit to Bungie. He had opened the subreddit in December 2012.
The community manager admitted:
We know a lot of players are not happy with the state of the game at the moment.
Cozmo23, Community Manager of Bungie
Cozmo fully agrees that there is a need for discussion.
This is the plan now: By the end of the current Season 10, so at least by mid-May, Bungie wants to discuss a major point of player feedback every week. Already tonight, from Thursday to Friday German time, two hot topics will be discussed in the blog post “This week at bungie”:
cheating
and the Trials of Osiris
It is said that they want to talk about what measures Bungie is taking to address and improve the issues in Destiny 2. Cozmo says: “Actions speak louder than words. It takes time to change the game,” but they want to talk now until the things are released.
We reported today on the problems with cheaters on MeinMMO. Especially on PC, there are serious issues: Since the switch to Steam and the move to free-to-play, cheaters seem to be more active and present than ever before.
Cheaters in Destiny 2 are currently annoying many Guardians, including pro players like Gigz.
Here, the Guardians wish for a clear strategy from Bungie. It will be interesting to see what solutions Bungie presents. Meanwhile, the promised clear words are here, and more will follow every week: Destiny 2 presents plans against cheaters and for better Trials.

The company Jagex developed the MMORPG RuneScape, which is still successful today. Currently, the developer is also working on 2 new RPGs that are supposed to complement the universe. These could also survive in the long term.
What kind of games are they? According to a mid-year report from Jagex, the company is currently working on two titles:
An action RPG
An MMORPG
Both titles are meant to complement the RuneScape franchise while providing a new gaming experience. Jagex has also introduced the minds behind the new game titles, which have now been conceived despite the Corona situation.
RuneScape received a new skill, Archaeology, in March 2020.
Why is this interesting? The franchise surrounding RuneScape remains successful years after its release and even set several records in 2019. This is due to two reasons:
On one hand, the series has loyal, yet totally crazy fans. They have managed to get Jagex to re-release an old version of RuneScape. Old School RuneScape is not only running successfully but is also being developed in a new direction determined by fans. Every feature requires a 75% approval before it is implemented.
On the other hand, the two sandbox games are designed to keep players engaged in the long term. They offer a variety of tasks, mini-games, and things worth farming. They are also constantly being expanded.
Another advantage is the current situation of Jagex. They are financially doing well. However, there has already been an attempt to create a successor to RuneScape named “MechScape”. The game was canceled before its release.
Developers of Star Wars Galaxies and CoD Mobile are involved
Who is leading the development? The Executive Producer for the new MMORPG is Mario Rizzo, who has previously worked for Sony. From 2003 to 2005, he was a developer for EverQuest 2 and until mid-2006, he was Associate Producer for Star Wars Galaxies. He continued to work on online RPGs, including for EA and Ubisoft.
The leadership for the action RPG is taken by Jesse America. He previously worked at Activision Blizzard for Candy Crush and Call of Duty: Mobile. He works there alongside Nathan Richardson, who has previously worked for CCP (EVE Online) and Trion Worlds (Rift, ArcheAge) and was introduced for a “new project” at Jagex at the end of 2018.
The third person introduced is Jendrik Posche, the Technical Executive Producer. He has been working on computer games for over 30 years and is supposed to support all teams with technical matters.
The new employees: Jesse America (left), Mario Rizzo (middle), and Jendrik Posche (right)
What do we know so far about the games? As early as 2018, there was talk of Jagex’s new MMORPG. Back then, it was said that a next-gen game was planned, but there wasn’t much information:
The game is supposed to be easily accessible but also very deep.
It should remind players of the early days of RuneScape.
The game world should come alive.
They want to benefit from what Jagex has learned over (at the time) 17 years of RuneScape.
So far, it is only known that the action RPG should be a “shared world” game. It has been in development since at least the end of 2018, where it was first mentioned on Nathan Richardson’s LinkedIn account.
If you want to try RuneScape for yourself, you can play the current version on PC and Old School RuneScape even on smartphones. It is among the best MMORPGs we recommend for Android and iOS.

In The Division 2, there was a lot of tension after the big Title Update 9 (TU9). This was particularly due to a severe nerf of a popular weapon, which caused a lot of anger. Now, the developers have commented on this and want to revert the controversial change – at least partially.
What is the reason for the anger?On April 21, the extensive Title Update 9 for The Division 2 was released, which brought numerous changes. And these changes were far from well received by everyone. The nerfs were said to be too severe, popular builds were broken, and motivation was lost. Numerous angry players and heavy criticism followed.
This caused the biggest criticism: The biggest issue was the initially secret nerf of the popular rifle series around the M1A Classic and its named variant Bakers Dozen.
Initially, the nerf was really harsh; the weapon was weakened by about 40%. A nerf was expected, but not such a severe one. This didn’t just weaken the weapon; it effectively made it completely useless and uncompetitive, as the consensus goes.
Additionally, the way Massive communicated this nerf was heavily criticized – namely, not at all initially. The players found out about it by themselves, as there was no mention of it in the patch notes at first.
Only retroactively was this change provided – only after the rising criticism and heightened emotions. This now puts the developers in a bad light for many.
This is what Massive says about the most controversial nerf of TU9: In the current developer blog “State of the Game”, Massive commented on this perhaps most controversial nerf of Title Update 9 on April 22.
In general, the M1A was considered too powerful before the nerf in TU9; it simply stood out too much. However, it is acknowledged that the nerf was too severe and turned out to be harsher than originally planned. This will now be reverted – at least in part.
Because the 40% nerf was not intended as a final solution, but due to the circumstances that developers are currently working from home because of the coronavirus, the weapon could not be adjusted and tested as thoroughly as it should have been.
The fact that the nerf was not initially communicated was not intentional, but is attributed to internal problems and processes. At Massive, no one seriously believes that such a harsh nerf of a popular weapon could be concealed, and they wouldn’t even attempt to do so. They now want to improve their internal processes and ensure that something like this doesn’t happen again.
What will happen with the M1A now: The nerf is expected to be rolled back this week (probably Friday). The M1A will therefore soon be as strong as it was before Title Update 9 – at least in PvE. In PvP, it will continue to be weakened, but by 20% instead of the previous 40% after TU9.
In the long run, however, the weapon is still set to be adjusted. Because it stands out too much in its pre-TU9 form compared to all other weapons. In a future update, it is expected to receive a proper, less drastic power reduction. Always with the aim of establishing good weapon balance, so that the next raid becomes the challenge it should be, according to the developers’ statements.
What else changed with Title Update 9: The major Title Update 9 also brought numerous other changes beyond nerfs, a new feature for Exotics, and various bug fixes. You can find an overview of the most important adjustments in this article: The Division 2: The most important changes from TU9 – Patch Notes in detail

In Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare , Activision Blizzard has now announced that suspected cheaters will be placed in shared lobbies, a kind of “hell lobby for suspected cheaters.” Many fans are pleased about this. But can this really be a great solution to the problem?
This is the announcement from Activision Blizzard: In a tweet yesterday, the developers of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone presented a series of new measures to combat cheaters.
One sentence stood out particularly: Matchmaking has been revised so that players suspected of cheating are placed in shared lobbies.
Players under “suspicion of cheating” will thus have to compete against each other.
On MeinMMO’s Facebook page, the news received 760 thumbs up and 120 smiling emojis. Joy and mockery alternate.
Cheaters in their own hell? Many are pleased
This was the immediate reaction: This news was received by many with a mixture of relief and schadenfreude. The tweet itself received unusually over 6300 “likes”.
Twitter users found it “satisfying” that hackers would have to play against other hackers.
YES!!! Matching hackers up with other hackers might be the most satisfying thing ever
Even if a player gets banned, they can easily create a new account since the game is Free2Play.
Therefore, there were two reasons to celebrate:
one being the idea that cheaters vanish from their own lobbies – thus relief
and the other being that cheaters now have to play against other cheaters – this is schadenfreude or joy over a kind of “poetic justice” along the lines of: Everyone gets what they deserve
What could speak against this idea? At first glance, it sounds like a good solution. But the question is: If this is so genius, why aren’t more games using such a “hell” solution for their problems?
One of the fundamental problems lies in the formulation:
It’s not “caught” cheaters who are placed in these lobbies, as they would have to be banned immediately, like 70,000 others before them
Players are placed in the lobbies who are “suspected of cheating”. So, it concerns players who are under suspicion but not yet proven
A particularly skilled player, people now fear, could, because their skill looks like Aimbot, be wrongly reported as a “cheater” by their victims and then end up in such a hell lobby.
This could quickly spoil an honest player’s enjoyment of the game, who has done nothing wrong except be very good, when they are increasingly unfairly shot down by Aimbots.
Who is afraid of the cheater?
“Island of Cheaters” could make cheating the new normal
Another problem a reddit user mentions: Riot Games had once experimented with such an “island of convicts” at least as a thought experiment in League of Legends. The idea was to crowd players who had been particularly problematic.
However, Riot soon discarded the idea of such an “island of the convicted.” Because in “toxic matchmaking,” flaming would become so normal that players coming from these lobbies would be even more toxic than before. Therefore, Riot never implemented such a “hell island” for LoL. “If 10 toxic players were together, no one would improve,” it was said back then.
Applied to CoD means: If a “suspected cheater” is really mixed with other cheaters, the threshold for cheating could decrease and thus increase.
If everyone cheats, the honest player would be forced to cheat just to level the playing field. Similar arguments were once heard from professional cyclists.
Even if the plan looks cool and seems like poetic justice at first glance – whether it really works to lock cheaters in their own hell remains to be seen.
Players on PS4 and Xbox One should first deactivate crossplay.
Players on PS4 and Xbox One have an easier way to combat cheaters: They can disable crossplay. Most cheaters are suspected to be on PC, a kind of personal cheater hell.

What does completing this task bring? This mission is part of the second packet of the Midas challenges. Overall, you need to have solved at least 18 tasks before you can assign your agent to the Ghost or Shadow teams.
Find out here how to disable crossplay on consoles in Call of Duty: Warzone: for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. This is popular because many want to lock out the so-called “cheater platform,” the PC.
Why do so many disable crossplay? CoD: Warzone has a cheating problem. Since it is technically easier to manipulate the game on PC compared to consoles, many soldiers are now excluding players from other platforms.
Whether invincible players or nasty aimbotters, unfair and immature cheaters constantly ruin Warzone matches. Some are already taking the problem into their own hands and attacking the providers. But for console players, there is a solution – disable crossplay.
How to isolate yourself from other platforms on Xbox and PlayStation, you can learn here.
Disable crossplay on consoles – easy on PS4, a hassle on Xbox
How do I disable it on PlayStation 4? It’s no problem on PS4. Go into your menu with “Options” and select the “Account” tab. The first menu item is “Crossplay”, which you can disable with the push of a button.
If you start a Warzone match now, CoD will ask you again if you really don’t want to enable crossplay. If you click “No”, the lobby search will start without crossplay.
CoD fights back, but you can start a game search on PlayStation even without crossplay.
How do I disable it on Xbox? There are many reports that you can only effectively disable crossplay on PS4. But that is not true; it is also possible on Xbox. However, it’s a bit more complicated.
If you disable it in the game menu, you will receive a very similar message as on PS4. However, instead of being able to click “No,” you only have the option to “Cancel,” and you cannot start a lobby search.
It is not so easy on Xbox. Here you can only cancel the player search.
However, you can disable crossplay completely for your account in the Xbox menu so that you only encounter Xbox Live players:
Open the quick menu
Go to the “System” tab
Open “Settings”
In the “General” menu item, go to “Online Safety and Privacy” – If your console is secured with a passkey, you will need it now
Select “Xbox Live Privacy” in the next menu
Here you have 4 privacy profiles to choose from. Select “Custom” to use your own settings
Then click on “View and customize details”
In the next menu, go to “Communication & Multiplayer”
Now you have reached the right menu. The second tile from the left deals with crossplay – “You can play with people outside of Xbox Live”. Change the setting to “Block”
It’s a bit cumbersome on Xbox, but doable. “Tii Keyy” has published a video on YouTube if you want to see the steps in German again.
What about the PC? If you manually disable crossplay here, you will receive the same message as on Xbox and cannot start a lobby search. Disabling crossplay is currently not possible.
On the PC there is also a menu item for crossplay, but Warzone does not start if you disable it.
What are the downsides to disabling? As the warning on PS4 already indicates, there may be problems with finding players. The potential player pool will become smaller, making match searches often take longer. Especially on Xbox, it may take longer since you’ll only be paired with players who also allow only “Xbox Live” players.
Activision fights against cheaters
How does Activision deal with cheaters? The developers are on the problem and have plans to protect fair players from cheaters. There have already been ban waves, during which several 10,000 cheaters were banned and Activision intends to continue this effort.
In addition to the bans, special servers are to be set up where cheaters can make life difficult for one another. It would be interesting to see how long a Warzone match can last when two invincible God-mode cheaters argue over who quits the match first.
