With the new level cap, there is a lot to do in Blade & Soul, we reveal which content is waiting at level 50, that is, in the endgame.
With the last major patch “Silverfrost Mountains,” Blade & Soul has been expanded with numerous content. This included an increase in the maximum level to 50, which raises the question for many players: What to do at level 50?
Since the developers are obviously aware of this question, they have published a small list outlining the various content. We have summarized the most important points for you briefly.
Dungeons – the classic variant in the endgame
Traditionally, players can venture into dungeons – the various instances available for level 50. While the 5 “expert dungeons” are still relatively easy, things get significantly tougher in the heroic dungeons. However, there are also more and, above all, better rewards that can be used to upgrade weapons and accessories, and makeup and Baguas can also be found there.
For experts, there are the following 5 dungeons:
Impure Laboratory
Talus Dungeon
Ogong’s Folly
The Screaming Caves
Frost Cave of the Chuanka
In the heroic variant, there are these 3 options:
Snowstorm Cave
Awakened Necropolis
Den of the Frosted Fangs
Large-scale content at level 50
If you’re not too keen on the different dungeons, then the so-called “large-scale content” might be just right for you. Most of these are public events that you can participate in without much preparation to earn some gold, makeup, or experience points. Examples of locations include:
Raid: Grand Harvest Square in the Northern Sky Blossom Fields
Frostscale Basin in the Northeastern Shiverstone Peaks
The Spawning Sanctuary in the Northeastern Sky Blossom Fields
Daily Quests
If you have little time or simply do not feel like playing with other players, then daily quests are a good option. As the name suggests, these can be repeated every day. Although the gold and experience rewards are not as high as in other game content, they can contribute to variety and can be completed even when you just want to “casually play around” a bit.
There are a total of 3 such quest hubs available at level 50:
Herbologist Hut in the Southern Shiverstone Peaks
Snowwood Monastery in the Western Forest of Ancients
Grand Harvest Square in the Northern Sky Blossom Fields
PvP Content
Finally, the developers recommend indulging in the various PvP content of the game, which can be tackled at almost any player level. Besides the daily quests, there are also some rewards available such as gold, experience points, Zen Beans, and different seasonal rewards. In any case, a match in the battlefields of the game world provides a change from the otherwise more leisurely monster farming in PvE.
In the MMO shooter Destiny , additional information about the April update has been released: they showcase legendary weapons and armor sets.
On the night from Thursday to Friday, there was a “This Week at Bungie”, which revolved around Wednesday’s stream. They presented the rewards for the April update, which is set to come on April 12.
They made a slight mistake during the livestream and have to correct it. The legendary weapons from Year 1 that will be coming back will NOT come from legendary engrams, as previously stated, but from Vanguard and Crucible reward packages. Players who reach a new level with the quartermasters will have a chance to receive one of the legendary weapons up to 330 light.
Additionally, they have increased reputation gain in Strikes, the Crucible, and the Prison of Elders.
The following “classic” legendary weapons are returning to Destiny in Year 2
These are the weapons that will make the transition from Year 1 to Year 2 – it’s important to note that they must be found “new”, players will not be able to simply infuse Year 1 versions of the weapons up to 335. Again: They are available from Crucible and Vanguard reward packages up to attack value 330.
The Devil You Know
Shadow Price
LDR 5001
Badger CCL
The Comedian
THE SWARM
Y-09 Longbow Synthesis
Grim Citizen III
Two to the Morgue
Zombie Apocalypse WF47
The Saterienne Rapier
Lord High Fixer
Here are some mixed information regarding the April update in Destiny:
Additionally, there will be a new emblem for the Trials of Osiris – but that will take some time.
The 1:1 infusion also applies to Exotics.
Variks will no longer sell shaders and ships from Year 1; instead, they will be included in his reputation packages.
Here’s what the 5 new armor sets in Destiny look like
Bungie has revealed “pictures” of the 5 new armor sets, which will be available with the April update on April 12.
This is the Taken armor, available from the Sterling Treasure.
The Chroma armor, also obtainable from the Sterling Treasure.
The New Monarchy.
The Future War Cult.
The Dead Orbit.
The armor pieces from the three reputation factions will be available from the respective faction’s reward packages upon reputation ranks.
We have showcased the stream and also the new exotic items coming with the April update on our site. If you need more information, here are the relevant articles:
In a Special Report, the developers revealed information about the upcoming update 1.1 “Incursions” for The Division via Twitch. We summarize the information.
The Division is now a good three weeks old. Nevertheless, agents are already craving new endgame content. The good news: Fresh content is on the way!
On the evening of March 31st, the developers revealed what lies ahead for The Division in the near future and spoke about the update “Incursions”, in German, the “Übergriffe”.
The update 1.1 “Übergriffe” will be released on Tuesday, April 12. It is free for all Division agents.
These are the Incursions in The Division
As Hamish Bode emphasized several times at the beginning of the livestream, many “great things” will be presented. We list what was revealed about the Incursions:
Incursions are endgame content and designed for a group of 4 agents.
Incursions will be “much harder” than the previous Challenge Modes.
They are very challenging. Coordination and communication within the group are important. Agents must develop tactics and strategies. It is hardly manageable with just anyone; you need a really good team, as the developers stated.
Some enemies can only be defeated with a specific strategy. Relying only on your weapons is not enough. Future Incursions will feature various mechanics.
Agents should expect that they will not succeed in the Incursions on the first attempt. Maybe not even on the tenth.
You get better rewards in the form of weapons and gear.
The best rewards in the Incursions are available only once per week. However, these endgame activities can be done as many times as you want; good loot is always there. You should never come away empty-handed. But the best loot is only available once a week. This can be earned with each of your characters.
There are two difficulty levels: a Hard Mode, which is already very “hard”. You need very good high-end items to survive. The Challenge Mode of the Incursions is “very, very hard”.
There will be matchmaking, but with certain requirements for players (a specific gear score, more on that shortly).
There will be no checkpoints! If the entire team dies, they must start from the beginning.
The first Incursion is called “Falcon Lost”.
This is what to expect in “Falcon Lost”, the first Incursion in The Division
We start this Incursion by descending into the underground. The goal is to take out an LMB base. Although the leader of the LMB is dead, this faction still wants to control New York. Our task is to prevent that.
Gameplay snippets have shown that you have to survive multiple enemy waves, in this case, 15! This likely supports the developers’ statement that the Incursions are a challenge even for the most skilled players out there.
“Falcon Lost” is the first Incursion, but there will be more to come. The factions to be fought will also vary. These will lead agents to new locations and challenge your team play. However, they do not want to reveal too much; “new challenges” were emphasized several times.
„Gear Sets“ are coming to The Division
Additionally, with this update, four different “Gear Sets” are being introduced. The items in these sets are rare and hard to obtain. You get these through the Incursions, through Challenge Modes of missions, through the Dark Zone, and as blueprints that you need to acquire.
The special thing about these sets: If you have all pieces of a set, you unlock a unique talent, known as “set bonuses”. Depending on the set, there are various bonuses that favor a specific play style, e.g., for snipers or for supporters. However, not too much will be revealed here yet.
The catch with these Gear Sets: While they are supposed to be “stronger” than high-ends, they do not have their own talents. Therefore, our existing items will not become “useless”, as the existing items allow for variations with their talents; it is advised not to destroy them.
The Gear Score will be introduced
With the update, the Gear Score will also be introduced, which will be significant from max level 30. For some Incursions, a certain Gear Score will be required to start them. For other content, a Gear Score is recommended, which agents can recognize whether they should start this activity or better improve their Gear Score first.
In groups, the Gear Scores of your members will be displayed at the bottom right of the screen next to their names. We have already dealt with the Gear Score in The Division in this article.
Trading is coming, but it will be quite limited
Whether trading is to be introduced has apparently been discussed for a long time within the development team. The beta phases made it clear that the community absolutely wants this feature.
Trading works as follows:
If an agent picks up an item and wants to give it to a member of their team, they can drop it. The member can now pick up this item. Trading only works within a team.
Since all members can pick up the item, it should only be dropped if you truly trust all agents. If a “wrong” agent picks it up, they can drop it again.
In the Dark Zone, there should be safe areas where you can drop items for group members. This ensures that other agents in the Dark Zone cannot access the items.
Weekly and daily assignments are coming
Weekly and daily assignments are being introduced. If you complete these tasks, “good rewards” such as Phoenix Credits or Division Tech await you. These assignments are intended to be diverse and also refresh the Dark Zone.
Supply Drops in the Dark Zone bring very good loot
Additionally, a new feature is coming to the Dark Zone, the “Supply Drops”. These fall from the sky in the Dark Zone, landing in various locations. They contain very good loot that only the group that arrives at that location first will receive. However, these drops are guarded by strong enemies.
You do not need to extract these items from the Dark Zone: The first group that gets the items has them safe. After all, the items are not contaminated.
A “Spectator Camera” is coming
Currently, it is very boring if you are dead in The Division. Therefore, the feature will be introduced that you can observe your teammates while you are dead on the ground.
Furthermore, changes will be made to the game that have not yet been presented.
With The Skies, a new post-apocalyptic survival-MMORPG is coming soon!
The American-Ukrainian development studio Eforb is currently working on The Skies for PC. The MMORPG combines shooter and RPG elements and is set in a post-apocalyptic world. You are survivors trying to find your place in this world. The developers state that they want to offer players a lot of freedom. Therefore, there is no linear story to follow.
Your actions change the world
Rather, your actions determine how the fortunes in the world change. Your actions affect the economy and can even trigger larger events. For example, you could be responsible for the outbreak of a war. Thus, the world is constantly changing due to your actions, and you will always have to react to these changes. Cities can be overrun or taken over by a faction from one day to the next, which influences the entire economy in the area. However, it would also be possible to unite and liberate these cities.
Linear gameplay is something the developers want to completely avoid. Everything should be dynamic and determined by the players. How exactly the survival elements will play into this is still not entirely clear. Going by the trailer, you will at least need to pay attention to food and water. The apocalyptic world is also home to mutants, so you will have to face these creatures in the wilderness. In addition, there are PvP battles and territorial wars.

If what you know about the MMO The Skies excites you, you can make up your own mind about the game from April 8th. Because on this day, the Closed-Early-Access version will launch on Steam.An open Early Access for everyone will start on April 16th. It seems that The Skies will adopt a hybrid model between Free2Play and subscription with a premium account for subscribers.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
On The Division, maintenance will take place on April 1st. Some issues, exploits, and glitches will be resolved.
As announced in the Ubisoft forum, the servers will be down on Friday, April 1st, starting at 9 AM our time. The estimated downtime is 30 minutes.
This unscheduled maintenance will therefore be significantly shorter than the regular server downtimes every Tuesday. If everything goes smoothly, agents can resume fighting for the good in post-apocalyptic New York at 9:30 AM.
Update: 9:30 – the servers are back online.
What will be fixed during maintenance on April 1st on PC, PS4, Xbox One
During this maintenance, some changes will be made:
In the mission “Madison Field Hospital”, the elite NPC that appears when Hutch is killed, before he jumps down from his pedestal, will no longer drop additional loot if killed repeatedly.
For Tree of Savior, there will soon be a European server after all. We have the details for you.
Server transfer coming in early May
Just a few days ago, it was still uncertain whether there would ever be regional servers in the new Free2Play MMORPG Tree of Savior, but the decision has now been made. The temporary server Femidian is currently still in America but is planned to be moved to Europe at a later date. There is no specific date for this yet, but it is scheduled to happen around “mid-May”.
Anyone wishing to transfer from their current server to Femidian can do so in the first week of May, as server transfers will be offered then. However, keep in mind that it will still take a while before the server is actually set up in Europe and the latencies will decrease.
RIFT will soon receive new souls and provides a first glimpse of the War Singer. We have the details.
With Healing Song to Victory
With the upcoming update 3.6 in RIFT there will be some new souls, which will be available in the chosen souls package of the in-game shop. This enables new play styles and allows even old characters to shine in a new light. In a new post, the War Singer has been discussed and it explains what will set this soul apart.
The War Singer – as the name suggests – can best be compared to the bards from other fantasy settings and is a specialization for the warrior. Through various songs and encouraging shouts, he strengthens his allies and becomes a powerful healer. The War Singer specializes in single-target healing. Especially helpful are special effects like “Turns the Tide in Your Favor”, which converts any overhealing into a protective shield.
However, the singers are not defenseless; they can also deal significant physical damage. Bleeding ears included.
More souls from update 3.6 “Feast of the Chosen” will be highlighted in the coming days.
For even more news and articles about the game, you can find them on our RIFT theme page.

Since yesterday, there is a new hero in MOBA Paragon – and he is deadly. We give you an overview of his abilities and take a look at the changes to Grux and Feng Mao.
Sevarog – The soul-devouring jungle tank
With yesterday’s weekly update of the third-person action MOBA Paragon from Epic Games, the first new character has joined the 13 already playable ones since the early access phase. He is therefore the first of the heroes that will be introduced to the game at regular intervals of 3 weeks. All characters are and will remain free to play.
Sevarog is an axe-swinging tank who should initially stay in the jungle. He can consume his victims, minions as well as opposing players, accumulating soul stacks, which makes him bigger and stronger and grants him more health points. Thus, he becomes a dangerous opponent as the game progresses.

Furthermore, he can hold others in a small area, which after wearing off are additionally slowed down for a short time. This allows him to rush through other opponents to damage rooted enemies with his ultimate ability, the colossal strike, and hurl them into the arms of teammates. The damage of this ability is also influenced by his accumulated soul stacks. Therefore, it is essential to absorb any life in you to become stronger and deadlier.
Changes to melee fighters
But Sevarog is not the only novelty of the patch. The two melee fighters Grux and Feng Mao had their blades slightly nerfed, as Epic Games noticed a higher win rate with these two heroes compared to others.
The biggest change concerns Grux’s passive ability. With each minion kill, he gained 5 health points. This increase has now been capped at 2 and an upper limit of a maximum of 200 has been set. This prevents him from developing into an almost invincible damage-dealing tank in the later stages of the game.

In the upcoming April update for the MMO shooter Destiny, new emotes will be introduced that you can acquire in the Eververse. We present them here.
In a live stream last night, Bungie presented the rewards and items that will enter the Destiny universe with the upcoming update. Along with fresh armor sets, “new” exotics, and various other items and mechanics, 13 emotes will also be introduced.
These are the 13 emotes of the Destiny April update
You will be able to acquire the following gestures in the tower in the Eververse. Tess demands silver for these cool moves, a currency that you must purchase with real money. The emotes are by no means game-changing, they are merely optional content that each Guardian can acquire according to their own taste.
These are the Legendary emotes:
Taken Shiver: With this emote, you wiggle like what is usually expected from the Taken. The gesture is said to be unlocked when you have collected the entire Taken set. It says: “Oryx is dead, right?”
Club Dance: This emote costs 500 silver. Here, your Guardians move rhythmically, following the motto: “Feel the beat. Feel the love.”
Instructional Dance: With this emote, the Guardians of Light show “fresh moves”. Cost: 500 silver.
Do it: These moves come with the note that one should realize their dreams. This is a clear reference to the actor Shia LaBeouf, whose motivational video became a meme on YouTube. You can do this for 500 silver.
Praise The Gun: With this, you can praise your weapon for a mere 200 silver.
Amazed: With this gesture, you can express your astonishment for 200 silver.
Sumo: With this sumo gesture, you can prepare for battle. Cost: 200 silver.
Bye-Bye: With this, you can say “Goodbye” to your buddies, also for 200 silver.
Praise the Light: For 200 silver, you can worship the Light. After all, it is the Light that gives us strength.
I don’t know: If you have no idea at all what your clan member wants from you, you can show him that with this gesture. This fun costs 200 silver.
Crane Kick: With this move, you are the best, at least if you believe the description: “You are the best…” This takes inspiration from the crane kick from Karate Kid. 200 silver.
Rude Taunt: This gesture is also available for 200 silver, with which you can taunt your opponent.
All these emotes can be enjoyed with moving images in the following video. There are definitely some highlights. Whether you want to acquire them with money must be decided by each person.

The illustrations of League of Legends (LoL) are now also available as a screensaver for Windows and Mac.
Few players would have expected this release. Personally, I checked the date right away – No, it’s not quite April 1st yet. But a screensaver app in 2016? When I got a little more into the program and saw the various options, I actually thought it was pretty good. So good that I downloaded it right away.
Playlists and a huge collection of LoL images
If you’re still not quite convinced about setting up a screensaver, you should take a look at the collection of images, photos, and animations that this program offers. From well over 100 images of champions and various locations of great battles in League of Legends, you can create your own playlist to protect your screen while you’re not using it.
There is also work underway to use these images as desktop backgrounds. Additionally, in the champion overview, we have our good old URF, which we will probably see again soon in the system of rotating game modes.
Installation of LoL screensaver software
First of all, it should be noted that the operation of this software is really easy and particularly clear. First, you should download this screensaver software from the official Riot Games website.
The installation is self-explanatory. If you skipped the point at the end of the installation, you can change the screensaver in the control panel under “Personalization” in a Windows operating system.
There you can also access the settings and personalize the screensaver with your own playlist. You then simply select the media you want in your playlist. These will then be downloaded and you can use the League of Legends screensaver.
Warning: Currently there is a bug when uninstalling. If you installed the screensaver app directly in your LoL folder, the entire folder will be deleted upon uninstallation. So be careful and take a close look!

In Tom Clancy’s The Division, you can create individual builds with various combinations of your skills and weapons. Below, we present a skill power build that focuses on sticky bombs.
In his video series “Best of Builds,” the YouTuber Arekkz Gaming showcases another build that revolves around skill power and sticky bombs.
This is the “Infinite Sticky Bomb Skill Power Build” in The Division
Below is a sticky bomb build that allows you to use the sticky bomb frequently and effectively. We will list the attributes, skills, talents, and weapons you need for this build.
Focus on Electronics in the Skill Power Build
For the attributes, you need to improve the Electronics value to boost your skill power. While firearms affect your weapon damage and stamina affects your health, skill power has different effects on your skills. How these are specifically affected depends on the respective skill.
In general, a high electronics value reduces the cooldown time of skills. Additionally, for example, your sticky bomb damage or the healing power of healing skills increases. Each skill is enhanced by electronics in a specific way.
This also applies to this sticky bomb build: The higher the electronics value, the more effective the sticky bomb. Therefore, the electronics attribute has the highest priority. Whether you focus on stamina or firearms otherwise is up to you.
In the video, Arekkz neglects his stamina value, which is why he strongly recommends this build for use in a team. Especially when you are playing solo, you should emphasize stamina more. Otherwise, you won’t survive out there for long.
Take these Skills for the Sticky Bomb Build
Following are the skills with the mods that you should use for this build.
Sticky Bomb with the mod “Monster Grenade” (BFB): This deals greater damage and increases the blast radius. Additionally, you can inflict bleeding wounds on targets. This offensive mod can also be replaced with the blind effect mod to control enemy crowds, but in this build, we want to deal significant damage.
First Aid with the mod “Overdose”: This device heals targets more efficiently with this mod and can even increase the target’s health points beyond the normal value.
This build does not depend on any individual skill, so you have complete freedom here. The YouTuber recommends the Survival Links from the Security tree.
These are the Talents for the Sticky Bomb Build
It is particularly about the talents that make this build so special. We list them below:
Demolitionist: If you kill an enemy with an explosion, explosion damage increases by 40% for 15 seconds. This significantly strengthens your sticky bombs.
Shrapnel: If you inflict bleeding wounds on an enemy, there is a 30% chance to transfer this effect to all enemies within 10 meters. And since the “Monster Grenade” mod can cause bleeding wounds, this talent is quite practical.
Chain Reaction: If you deal damage to multiple enemies with an explosion, explosion damage increases by 40%.
Triage: If you heal an ally with a skill, skill cooldowns are reduced by 15%. This talent is probably the most important in this build, as it allows you to use the sticky bomb very quickly again.
If you heal multiple allies, and of course yourself as well, your skills recharge very quickly. You act as follows: Use sticky bomb, heal everyone, use sticky bomb, heal everyone, and so on. This method allows you to fire one sticky bomb after another at the enemies.
This build is particularly recommended in a team: If you only heal alone, it takes longer to use your skills again. However, if you heal the entire team, you can throw your sticky bombs at the enemies all around.
To effectively use this build, you must stay close together in the team so that the skills are instantly recharged. So stay together and blow your enemies up. This build is recommended for PvE and for the Dark Zone.
You can take this fun to the next level if all team members use this build. It results in an endless fireworks display of sticky bombs – Michael Bay would be proud of you!
Which Weapons Should I Use in This Build?
Which weapons you use is entirely up to you. After all, the focus is on the sticky bomb, not on the weapons. However, you can use guns like the Caduceus or the Liberator, which positively affect your skills. But the weapons play only a secondary role in this build. Grab your sticky bombs and shoot as if there were no tomorrow!

The game world of Black Desert has been expanded with massive content. We reveal what is included in the Mediah update.
Mediah brings over 1000 new quests
The Western launch of Black Desert was only a few weeks ago, but Daum is already rolling out the first content patch – and it really looks impressive. The already gigantic game world will be expanded by another 30%. Regionally, Mediah is the gateway to the Valencian coast and is located east of Baleno and Serendia. Since the new zone contains endgame content, most players will likely be here now, completing quests.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA7zCMztj-o
Speaking of quests: There are plenty of them in Mediah. Over 1000 new missions await players and should definitely keep them busy for one evening (or rather one week). These tasks also include some guild quests, for which you will need your fellow players.
Friends of PvP skirmishes can look forward to the “Crimson Battlefield,” where up to 80 players (40 vs. 40) can compete against each other simultaneously. You can register in groups of up to 5 players, so no one has to miss out on their friends.
If you prefer your opponents a bit larger, you’ll also enjoy a new challenge, as the world boss Kzarka roams in the new zone and is said to be able to take on hundreds of players at the same time. Those who defeat him will be rewarded with nice loot, as is customary.
The patch comes with numerous new weapons, armor sets, and plenty of new costumes in the cash shop (various wings and sexy lingerie), allowing you to beautify your character even more.
A complete list of all new features and adjustments can be found in our sources.
For more news, articles, and numerous beginner guides about the game, visit our Black Desert topic page.

Starting April 5 at 01:30 AM, you can participate in the anniversary celebrations of The Elder Scrolls Online. For the celebration, the baker Donolon has been commissioned to bake a very special cake. If you log into the MMO after the event starts, you will receive a token to obtain this anniversary cake. However, you won’t just be able to sit down comfortably and enjoy the sweet piece, as there is a quest involved.
Birthday Cake!

Two New Assistants
But there is more new content in the MMORPG. Starting today, you will find two new assistants in the game, Tythis Andromo the banker and Nuzhimeh the merchant. You can summon Tythis Andromo almost anywhere for access to your bank vaults. Nuzhimeh, on the other hand, will buy anything you no longer need – without charging any fees! Since both assistants can be summoned almost anywhere, you save long walks back to the cities.
So get ready for the anniversary celebration of The Elder Scrolls Online and fast, so that there is room for the anniversary cake in your stomach! Until the event starts on April 5, you can use the time to make the most of the two new assistants.

In reflecting on the merger with Webedia, we look back at the history of our site Mein-MMO.de.
Dawid Hallmann is the most ambitious guy I’ve ever met. I still have a letter from him, from February 2014. We were just at the beginning, maybe getting 300 readers a day. He told me back then that he wanted to build Mein-MMO.de as an alternative to the established MMO sites like buffed or playmassive. I thought he was quite a dreamer at the time, but: He was completely right.
The First Year
What you have to understand is that Mein-MMO.de was initially a passionate side project. While Dawid was working his regular job, he built Mein-MMO.de in his spare time, fulfilling a kind of childhood dream. Having your own gaming website is something special. He paid all the costs out of his own pocket. There were no thoughts of revenue at all.
The Elder Scrolls Online – the first game with which we reached thousands of readers.
We had some early successes with articles about The Elder Scrolls Online, WildStar, or ArcheAge. During that time, we grew from being a “really small site” to “still a small site, but a bit bigger and with potential.” By August 2014, we had about 5000 readers a day.
Then Destiny and Success Came
Most of you who followed us know what happened next: Destiny. It was never really planned that we would actually cover the console shooter. But from the beginning, our articles received tremendous responses and the visitor numbers skyrocketed. In September, we had 15,000 readers a day. That was when things started to get a bit more serious.
I remember that after the World Cup, a football international match was broadcast on RTL, and during halftime, a Destiny commercial aired. At that time, a news article of ours was quite visible on Google, and our reader numbers exploded during the halftime break. It was clear at that point: Wow, we’re onto something here.
Destiny was the game with which we reached tens of thousands of readers.
As a “hobby,” the site was no longer manageable. It simply took up too much time. While we used to publish maybe 20 articles a week, it soon rose to 80, 90, or 100. Initially focused on just a few MMORPGs, we expanded our coverage to other online games. The hours we could dedicate to the site kept increasing.
As a result, other people became increasingly important to the site throughout 2014 and into 2015, who wrote articles, handled planning, engaged with you in comments, and much more. The roles of Cortyn and myself steadily grew over time.
The Merger with Webedia Had Been in the Works for a While
Around September 2015, when we had 50,000 readers a day, Dawid realized that the site could no longer be managed as a side project. There were two options:
Either Dawid could have founded a GmbH to manage the project on his own and take it to the next level.
Option B was to seek a strong partner to become even stronger together.
It quickly became clear that it would be option B. Now it’s March 2016, and the time has come. Mein-MMO.de will become a part of Webedia in the future. This is the company that also owns Gamestar, Gamepro, moviepilot, and numerous other sites.
For us and you, nothing in our daily routine will change. Dawid remains the head of the site, and I remain the chief editor. Cortyn, Ttime, Andreas, and the others are all still on board – some in expanded roles.
This is the boss: Dawid Hallmann
This is not a merger born out of necessity, but a very positive one for us that we have worked towards. In terms of reader numbers and in every other aspect, we are currently stronger than ever. At present, we have about 70,000 readers a day.
Nothing will change for the worse. On the contrary, we will be able to report even more comprehensively and in greater depth about the games that brought you all here, thanks to the new opportunities. We already have our eyes on the first new staff members, from whom you’ll surely be reading articles soon.
We’ve been around for about two and a half years now. It has been a wild journey so far, and it seems like we are just getting started. We hope you will accompany us on this journey!

Webedia Germany, a subsidiary of the French Webedia Group, is expanding its portfolio in the digital gaming segment by acquiring the gaming portal Mein-MMO. Previously, Mein-MMO was already a partner of the gaming network OnlineWelten, which also belongs to Webedia.
The young online magazine, founded by Dawid Hallmann, focuses on topics related to multiplayer games for PC and consoles – from current shooters like Destiny and The Division to classics like World of Warcraft.
Since its founding in October 2013, the portal has been steadily growing and now reaches over 2 million visits a month. Compared to the same period last year, this represents a growth of over 150 percent. “The gaming industry is undergoing a transformation. There are fewer new releases and more titles that receive regular expansions and DLCs. We accompany these games intensively over a long period. Readers appreciate this offering. We have experienced tremendous support from fans and friends of various online games who have formed a community on our site,” explains Dawid Hallmann, Head of Mein-MMO.
Webedia Germany, based in Berlin and Munich, is already represented in the market with leading online gaming portals in the areas of games, consoles, technology, and home cinema. With gaming websites such as GameStar, GamePro, and the German-language IGN portal, the online entertainment publisher reaches over 5 million users monthly in Germany.
The magazine for multiplayer and online games: Mein-MMO.de
With its focus on online games, Mein-MMO complements Webedia’s gaming portfolio with diverse reporting from the MMO-enthusiastic team. “Our users have made the website what it is today: a pleasant place for gamers to exchange ideas about their shared hobby. With the acquisition by Webedia, we can realize our visions more than ever,” says Dawid Hallmann. “The growing relevance of multiplayer online games in the gaming industry opens up new marketing opportunities and cooperation models beyond our current offerings,” adds Ralf Sattelberger, Director Sales at Webedia Germany. “We look forward to walking this path together with Mein-MMO in the future.”
In The Division the Incursions, the raids, will be introduced with the April update. This evening, the developers want to share details via a Twitch livestream.
Currently, not much is known about the upcoming Incursions in The Division: They are supposed to be challenging endgame group activities, where an agent team must prove themselves against relentless foes to obtain high-level items. However, what this will look like in detail is still unknown.
This is supposed to change this evening, on March 31st. The developers will hold a livestream via Twitch in which they want to present the raids. This was announced on Twitter.
Accordingly, tonight at 8 PM, the “Special Report” will start, on the official Twitch channel for the game. We will be following this for you. How extensive this information will be and what else the developers want to reveal remains to be seen.
Update: We have a summary of the stream for you in this article.
For young fans of World of Warcraft, there will soon be reading material – a children’s book will be released in November.
Azeroth through the eyes of children
A younger audience will soon be able to enjoy the story of Warcraft, as Blizzard has entered into a partnership with Scholastic and will publish the book “World of Warcraft: Traveler” later this year.
“Traveler” will thematically focus on a young boy who happens to be the son of a “great explorer” of the Warcraft universe. Due to an incident, he gets separated from his family and washes up on a foreign shore. Here he must navigate a strange world, equipped with a magical compass and his drawing tools. As can be seen from the first sketches, the hero will make friends with a Murloc, encounter Night Elves, and meet characters like Malfurion and Tyrande.

The story is written by Greg Weisman, with illustrations by Samwise Didier, who has been responsible for many concept drawings and artworks related to Blizzard games.
On the journey, the protagonist will encounter many wondrous creatures.
In general, the goal was to answer the question of what Azeroth might look like through the eyes of children who are discovering parts of this world for the first time.
Although the book is intended to be child-friendly, aimed at “young fans” aged 8-12, some adults will likely place the book on their shelves. A certain demon will definitely do so.
A release of the book is planned for November 2016 in America; it is still unclear if and when a German translation will be made available. The announcement refers to it as a “Series,” indicating a multi-part series.
In the MMO shooter Destiny , a variety of new weapons, armor, ships, and Sparrows were introduced yesterday. Check them out.
Yesterday, we streamed and commented on the live stream “What’s New”. It was about the items that will be new or returning to Destiny with the April update on April 12th.
Prior to that, it was announced as a “fashion show” and that was indeed the impression: Something new was constantly wobbling across the screen, new effects were presented, there was a lot of information and fresh items: 5 armor sets, 3 for the factions, one for the Taken, and one in a “TRON” look for the Chroma effects. Then a variety of weapons, Sparrows, and also ships.
YouTuber Raptorr has now gathered the screens online, uploaded a video, and compiled a screenshot collection on Imgur. There you can browse at your own pace to see what’s new coming your way.
You will miss these 10 cards from Hearthstone as soon as the new format “Standard” goes live.
With the expansion “Whispers of the Old Gods”, Blizzard will introduce the new game format “Standard” at the end of April or the beginning of May, where only the current expansions from the ongoing and last year can be played. In plain language, this means that players will have to say goodbye to cards from Goblins VS. Gnomes and Naxxramas if they want to play the new mode. Those who want to stay “Wild” will see no changes.
We present to you our top 10 cards that you will miss.
Place 10: Glevehr
One of the most annoying cards in the expansion was definitely the Glevehr for Hunters. For just 2 mana, the weapon had stats of 2/2 and could easily remove smaller threats from the board or deal the first hits to the beloved “Face.” As if that weren’t annoying enough, the weapon also grants a friendly minion +1 attack when played, which typically leads to even more damage that had to be received in the early turns of the game.
We will definitely not miss this card – but we don’t play Hunters either.
Place 9: Instable Portal
The Instable Portal is considered one of the cards with the highest random factor in the game, but it was still used in many decks. For 2 mana, the Mage received a random minion that cost 3 mana less. This led to numerous fun situations, where one could play a Ragnaros in turn 4 (with the coin) or receive a class card that opponents did not expect at all. For example, Prophet Velen likes to double the damage of Fireballs and Pyroblasts.
Of course, the spell could also go horribly wrong and spit out a Murloc. In any case, the Instable Portal was a card that provided fun and memorable moments and will likely be fondly remembered by players.
Place 8: Call to Arms
Call to Arms was quite ridiculed upon its initial announcement, but quickly became a staple in many Paladin decks. For 3 mana, it summons 3 1/1 minions and equips a 1/4 weapon. Especially in combination with one or even two Knife Juggler, the three recruits of the Silver Hand could clear the board effectively. What remains is then simply cleaned up manually with the weapon, and one has drawn a significant benefit from a very cheap card. A versatile card that is finally going into its well-deserved summer break.
Place 7: Shielded Minibot
And it gets even tougher for Paladins. The 2/2 minion for 2 mana, Shielded Minibot, also ends up in the junkyard of Mechs. It has long been regarded as one of the strongest Paladin cards, as it has a Divine Shield and thus often results in a free trade favoring the Paladin.
There was hardly a deck where the Minibot was not used, whether Aggro or Secret Paladin, the little mech is too valuable to exchange for another creature.
Place 6: Bite of the Death
Warriors have to say goodbye to one of the most powerful weapons in the game, as the Bite of the Death will be leaving the ranked mode and will only be available in the “Wild” mode in the future. For 4 mana, the axe had stats of 4/2 and had the “Whirlwind” deathrattle: “Deal 1 damage to all minions.” This allowed for numerous effects to be combined. Angry Berserkers could be made even stronger, Acolytes of Pain became card batteries, and Armor Masters could generate massive amounts of armor. Since it occupied a fixed place in almost all Warrior decks, this blade will likely be missed painfully.
On the second page, we will discuss the remaining top 5.
