MMORPG wanted to become a “new Ultima Online”, fails spectacularly – Plans unusual comeback for 2022

von Alexander Leitsch

The community is divided

What do the players think? The resignation is causing discussions in the community of Ultima Online. The user JC_the_Builder wrote a Reddit post addressing the concerns of some players. According to him, some fear that Ultima Online could soon be discontinued.

JC_the_Builder clearly disagrees. After all, Armstrong is passing her responsibilities to another experienced employee. Moreover, a lot has happened in the game in recent months. The user would bet money that Ultima Online will continue for a while.

In the comments, various opinions are shared. It often revolves around desired changes that could happen with a change at the top:

“Hopefully Kyronix (in-game name of the new producer Greg Havlusch) will work towards some classic era servers,” wishes Bradley T1190.
“The essence of UO is nostalgia. If they could get that right, I would return as a paying customer,” says Radiant_Knowledge_59.
“Regardless of what happens with Bonnie or anyone at Broadsword, UO will remain completely unaffected,” thinks Circushazards.
“UO has made a number of missteps. I’m not sure anyone can correct the course, and I must say that your (Armstrong’s) farewell letter… sounded off,” writes pugs-and-kisses.

The future will show how it goes on with Ultima Online. Currently, however, there are no signs from the developers that the game could come to an end soon. Even today, there are aspects of the game that make Ultima Online really good. One of them has to do with the beautiful homes: The 5 MMORPGs with the best housing in 2025

The best football game on Steam was supposed to start a new era – Is canceled

Lydia 7. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The Football Manager is probably the best football game for strategy fans on Steam. In 2024, there was no new release for the first time in 20 years. The already delayed Football Manager 2025 will not be released at all; the developers are already focusing on Football Manager 2026.

This news was created in a breaking manner and has been adjusted several times.

Which game is it about? Football Manager is a series of football games for strategy fans. The 2024 version is the highest-rated football game on Steam.

Starting in 2004, a new title in the series was released every year, which was then played for 12 months. But in 2024, for the first time, they skipped a release. Football Manager 25 was postponed to March 2025.

Now the developers announced on the official website that Football Manager 25 will not be coming at all. Instead, they want to focus on the development of Football Manager 2026. Pre-order customers are to receive their money back.

Fans will probably have to make do with Football Manager 2024 until autumn of this year.

Developers were dissatisfied with the state of Football Manager 2025

This is what the developers say: In the official statement, it says that the user interface and overall player experience of Football Manager 25 were still not where they should have been after 2 delays.

Publishing the game and fixing it afterwards would not have felt right.

An additional delay was also out of the question, as they would have been too late in the football season for fans to be expected to buy another game that same year, Football Manager 2026.

This decision is meant to ensure that the title for the coming year “meets the goals and quality we all expect” (via footballmanager.com).

Football Manager 25 was supposed to be “the biggest technical and graphical leap” for the series. They switched to Unity and also wanted to change some established elements. This was to lay the “foundation for a new era”.

However, this apparently resulted in a number of unexpected challenges that could no longer be tackled.

Pre-ordered? Here’s how to get your money back: Those who pre-ordered Football Manager 25 from a retailer recognized by publisher SEGA will automatically receive their money back “in due time”. If you pre-ordered a physical version, the refund will be handled by the respective store.

Final Fantasy XIV finally receives the popular MMO content everyone has been waiting for after a long drought of content

Sophia Weiss 7. February 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

In the 85th Letter from the Producer, Naoki Yoshida announced the new content for Patch 7.2 of Final Fantasy XIV. Included is the new Field Exploration, the MMO content that players have been waiting for since the last expansion.

What are Field Explorations? Field Explorations are large, standalone zones where players can explore together and work towards objectives. The fun lies in exploring a new, very active zone with over 70 fellow players.

Regularly, new boss enemies spawn and battles arise that need to be tackled in large groups. By successfully completing certain events, more will be unlocked, leading up to 48-player raids that can only be played there.

Since this type of content brings all players together at least subjectively and creates a sense of community, is a lot of fun, and can be repeated over and over, many Final Fantasy XIV subscribers have been hoping for this announcement for quite some time.

With Patch 7.2, the new Field Exploration is set to go live in Final Fantasy XIV at the end of March. What we know so far about it and what other content has been announced for the update can be read in this news article.

The popular MMO content is back – This time even with new jobs

What are the features of Kreszentia (Eng. Occult Crescent)? The new Field Exploration takes place in the Final Fantasy XIV version of the Bermuda Triangle, in the Triangle of Death. There lies an unexplored island waiting to be explored.

As in Eureka and Bozja, players can expect large areas with free-roaming monsters. Additionally, regular boss battles are expected to start again. A new 48-player raid akin to Delubrum Reginae will also be included.

What makes the new Field Exploration special? There are two special features that Kreszentia brings:

On one hand, players will collect knowledge levels during their explorations that will make battles against the area’s monsters easier. On the other hand, they can equip up to two so-called phantom jobs in addition to their normal jobs.

These are currently classes not available in the game that unlock new actions and thus change the player’s style of play. The following were shown during the stream:

Bard
Monk
Geomancer
Ranger
Berserker
Time Mage
Chemist
Gunner

However, there would be more phantom jobs, Naoki Yoshida stated. More information about this is supposed to come in the next Letter from the Producer.

An endgame for crafters and gatherers: The Cosmo Explorations

What does the endgame look like for crafters and gatherers? With Patch 7.2, the Cosmo Explorations are also set to start. Similar to the Restoration of Ishgard, crafters and gatherers will work together here.

Instead of rebuilding a war-torn city, they will travel from planet to planet and colonize them. According to the screenshots, they will start on the moon, which has already been accessible since Endwalker. From 7.2 onward, a new planet will be unlocked for building with every patch.

Similar to Ishgard, the goal here is to complete orders and finish events. After each successful event, new buildings will spawn. Thus, the surroundings will slowly but steadily fill up.

The reward for the restoration of Ishgard was the unlocking of the new housing district Heavensward. What players can expect at the end of the Cosmo Explorations is not yet known.

Pokémon TCG Pocket: Build Palkia-ex Deck – Card List for the Strong Deck

Johanna 7. February 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

With the new expansion Collision of Space and Time in Pokémon TCG Pocket, Palkia-ex has also been added. MeinMMO explains how you can build a deck around the card.

What makes Palkia-ex so strong? Palkia-ex requires a total of four energies to attack. This makes the card seem slow at first glance, but the long setup is worth it.

With its attack Dimension Storm, Palkia-ex can not only hit the active opposing Pokémon for 150 damage points, but also damage the Pokémon on the bench for 20 damage points each.

This is especially helpful when your opponent has an injured Pokémon on the bench with only a few hit points left. In the best case, you can knock out not only the active Pokémon but also an additional one on the bench and score two points.

Start video

Pokémon TCG Pocket: Trailer for the Collision of Space and Time Expansion

Autoplay

Palkia-ex & Vaporeon

2x Palkia-ex
2x Manaphy
2x Eevee
2x Vaporeon
2x Misty
2x Leaf
2x Pokémon Communication
2x Large Cloak
2x Poké Ball
2x Professor’s Research

How is the deck played? Manaphy is essential if you want to use Palkia-ex. The card can be played in the active position, and with its attack “Gift of the Sea,” you can attach one Water energy to two Pokémon on your bench. This way, you can power up Vaporeon and Palkia-ex with energy.

The accumulated energy on Vaporeon can be transferred to Palkia-ex with its ability “Wash Away”, giving you two energies on Palkia-ex in one turn. You can gain additional energies with the supporter card Misty.

In no time, Palkia-ex is ready for action and can be made even stronger with Large Cloak.

Palkia-ex & Greninja

2x Palkia-ex
2x Manaphy
2x Froakie
2x Frogadier
2x Greninja
2x Shardrago
2x Misty
2x Large Cloak
2x Poké Ball
2x Professor’s Research

How is the deck played? Again, you need Manaphy to get Palkia-ex started. Greninja and Palkia-ex need some time to set up, so you can fend off the first hits from your opponent with Shardrago.

If there are still opposing Pokémon left after Palkia-ex’s attack, you can deal the final blow with Greninja and its ability “Water Shuriken” from the bench. Once your deck is fully set up, you can deal a total of up to 190 damage:

150 damage points from Palkia-ex’s attack
40 damage points from the ability of two Greninja

Palkia-ex & Starmie

2x Palkia-ex
2x Manaphy
2x Staryu
2x Starmie
2x Leaf
2x Misty
2x Large Cloak
2x Poké Ball
2x Professor’s Research
2x Helmet

How is the deck played? You will use Manaphy as the setup Pokémon at the beginning again. Starmie is a quick-to-play Pokémon that can deal damage while Palkia-ex still needs to be set up. With Large Cloak, you can increase Starmie’s hit points and protect it from knockouts.

The first candidate of 7 vs. Wild Season 5 is allegedly a vegan influencer – considering dropping out right away

Cedric Holmeier 7. February 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The preparations for Season 5 of 7 vs. Wild are already underway behind the scenes. Now the official account has given a hint about the first candidate, who is considering dropping out again immediately.

Who could the candidate be? The first candidate for Season 5 of 7 vs. Wild could be the German influencer Jonas Ems. The content creator is currently known for his comedy sketches and short films, which he shares on YouTube Shorts, Instagram, and TikTok.

Ems is one of the pioneers of the German YouTube scene and has nearly 3 million subscribers there. This is only surpassed on TikTok, where 3.4 million people follow him. On Instagram, the creator has about 1.5 million followers.

In addition to comedy videos and his short films, his videos on his second account on TikTok often focus on vegan nutrition or current social issues. In one video, Ems also spoke about 7 vs. Wild, which the creators behind the show noticed.

After 7 vs. Wild, Knossi has also got a taste for survival, you can see his life before the series here:

Autoplay

The first candidate could drop out again immediately

Why should Ems become a candidate? Under the video in which Ems talks about 7 vs. Wild, the official account of 7 vs. Wild commented: “Jonas Ems for Season 5…📃✍ noted.”

Even though this news likely does not represent a final commitment from the content creator, Ems could appeal to a new audience outside of survival fans due to his large reach. In past seasons, influencers from various fields have been invited repeatedly.

If he participates, he would also be the first vegan candidate, which brings several challenges, as Ems himself explains.

What is veganism? People who live vegan avoid using animals or animal products in all areas of life (via peta.de). According to his own statements, Jonas Ems does this (via YouTube) to avoid animal exploitation as much as possible.

What does he say about participation? In a response video (via YouTube) to the comment from the official account, Jonas Ems is still unsure if he would actually participate in 7 vs. Wild. He asks himself: “Would I, as a […] vegan person […] make an exception for such a show to survive there?”

The influencer admits that he does not have much body fat that could keep him energized over a potential suspension period of two weeks. In a real survival situation, the content creator would also resort to animal food sources, which he claims is compatible with veganism to secure his survival.

However, the situation in 7 vs. Wild is simulated, giving Ems the ability to decide for himself whether he participates or abstains for ethical reasons.

From a vegan perspective, the answer is very simple […] don’t participate in such a show if you live vegan, or if you participate, don’t harm any animals.
Jonas Ems in the video on YouTube

He further explains his dilemma: “I’ve been wondering whether this might be a disqualifying criterion for me or whether I would just say ‘Hey, I’m going to try to get through this without biting into a rabbit.'”

The influencer’s participation is therefore hindered by an ethical conflict that must first be resolved. Many fans encourage him in the comments on YouTube to prepare with botany to maintain a vegan diet.

Pokémon TCG Pocket: The new meta deck with Darkrai-ex deals enormous damage – Here’s how to build it

Johanna 7. February 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

In Pokémon TCG Pocket, the Darkrai ex deck is considered one of the best new decks. MeinMMO shows you how to build and combine it.

What makes Darkrai-ex so good? With the expansion Collision of Space and Time, Darkrai has also made its way into Pokémon TCG Pocket; once as a normal card and as an ex variant. The advantage of the ex card: For each energy attached to the card, 20 damage points are dealt to the active opposing card.

With its attack “Dark Prism”, Darkrai deals 80 damage points, which comes to a total of 100 damage points with each energy attached. In a tournament of two YouTubers, the Darkrai-ex deck made it into the Top 8 of winners 7 times.

Now there are various combinations in which you can play Darkrai-ex. With our table of contents, you can click through the combinations that interest you the most.

Darkrai-ex & Magnezone Deck

2x Darkrai-ex
2x Magnetilo
2x Magneton
2x Magnezone
2x Shardrago
2x Professor’s Research
2x Leaf
2x Pokéball
1x Cyrus
1x Pokémon Communication
1x Bump Cap
1x Giant Robe

How is the deck played? Darkrai-ex with Magnezone has developed into an almost unbeatable deck. Even though Magnezone requires electric energy, you can play it in conjunction with Darkrai-ex and let the deck generate only dark energy.

Magneton can create and attach electric energy once per turn through its ability, allowing you to charge the card until you evolve it into Magnezone and attack with it. At the same time, you also charge Darkrai-ex with energy, causing 20 damage per turn.

Meanwhile, you have Shardrago in the active position, where it initially absorbs the opposing attacks as a tank. Through its ability Rough Skin, it also deals damage.

The likelihood is high that through the passive abilities of Shardrago and Darkrai-ex, you can already take out an opposing Pokémon. The rest can be taken care of with the active attacks of Magnezone and Darkrai-ex.

Darkrai-ex & Snibunna-ex

2x Darkrai-ex
2x Sniebel
2x Snibunna-ex
2x Kryppuk
2x Pokémon Communication
2x Cyrus
2x Lucia
2x X-Initiative
2x Pokéball
2x Professor’s Research

How is the deck played? While you supply Darkrai-ex on the bench with energies, dealing passive damage and thus making it ready for battle, Snibunna-ex can almost immediately jump into the fight. With just one energy, the evolution from Sniebel can deal up to 70 damage points.

Darkrai-ex & Smogmog

2x Darkrai-ex
2x Smogon
2x Smogmog
1x Kryppuk
1x Potion
2x Cyrus
2x Leaf
2x Koga
2x Pokéball
2x Professor’s Research
2x Giant Robe

How is the deck played? While you supply Darkrai-ex on the bench with energy, you only need to spend one energy for Smogon or Smogmog to use it in the active position as an early attacker.

Once you have prepared Darkrai-ex sufficiently, you can retrieve Smogmog with Koga without retreat costs and bring Darkrai-ex into the active position.

In this combination, you can deal up to 110 damage per turn:

80 damage points from Darkrai-ex attack
20 damage points from Darkrai-ex ability when you attach additional energies
10 damage points when using Smogmog’s ability Gas Leak

Darkrai-ex & Smogmog & Arbok

If you want to use fewer supporter and item cards, we recommend replacing some with Arbok:

2x Darkrai-ex
2x Smogon
2x Smogmog
2x Rettan
2x Arbok
2x Leaf
2x Koga
2x Pokéball
2x Professor’s Research
2x Giant Robe

How is the deck played? The basic strategy of the deck remains the same even with Arbok. However, you can deal even more damage through Arbok before bringing Darkrai-ex into the active position.

The advantage of Arbok: The opposing Pokémon cannot retreat due to pressure until it is defeated.

After Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of OpenAI also wants to replace the iPhone with a new device

Yana 7. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Sam Altman, the CEO behind ChatGPT, is planning the development of a new device specifically designed for artificial intelligence. He sees this as an innovation and wants to collaborate with a former chief designer from Apple. At the same time, OpenAI is massively investing in building an AI infrastructure.

What the head of OpenAI is planning: Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI (ChatGPT), shared his plans for the future development of the company in an interview with Nikkei Asia. In the planning is a device specifically designed for the use of artificial intelligence. Altman hinted that this new device could potentially become the biggest technological innovation since the iPhone.

For its development, he hopes to collaborate with Jony Ive, the former chief designer of Apple. Although these ideas have only been personally confirmed by Altman and OpenAI has not yet issued an official statement on this, he mentioned that it could take several years before a prototype hits the market.

OpenAI in the AI race with China

This is how the AI market is developing: The recent entry of DeepSeek into the AI market has contributed to reshuffling the industry dynamics. Altman explained that China has significantly caught up with American AI companies. He also warned of the dangers of AI misuse by authoritarian governments that could use these technologies to cement their power.

These concerns are also reflected in the warning he recently issued: The ongoing development of AI could pose significant threats to society without new regulations.

What does the future look like? The day after Donald Trump’s inauguration, Altman had a meeting with the president, during which a $500 billion partnership between OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle was announced. The project is named Stargate and aims to build a powerful AI infrastructure. OpenAI will play a central role in the construction and operation of data centers.

To compete with China, Altman also mentioned the possibility that OpenAI could develop its own semiconductors. Semiconductors refer to materials that can conduct electricity under certain conditions. He confirmed that the company is already working on this topic, and tech giants like Apple, Google, and Amazon are pursuing similar plans.

The interview that Sam Altman gave to Nikkei Asia took place during the OpenAI chief’s trip to Japan. He hopes to encourage Japanese companies to participate in Stargate. “I think there are areas where it is possible to collaborate with Japanese companies and investors on all levels, including in the field of microchips,” he said among other things.

YouTuber for MMORPGs plays Kingdom Come 2, is so excited that he questions the direction of his channel

Karsten Scholz 7. February 2025 Reading time 4 minutes

The MMORPG expert and YouTuber TheLazyPeon has played Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 without knowing the predecessor. This could have forever changed the direction of his channel.

Who is TheLazyPeon? With 685 videos and 758,000 subscribers, TheLazyPeon is one of the largest YouTubers in the MMORPG genre. For many years, he has provided play reports, genre insights, and personal glimpses into his life in Thailand.

The “lazy worker” usually does not talk about single-player RPGs. It is therefore quite surprising that the content creator has now released an assessment of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 on YouTube. This is even more notable because TheLazyPeon has never played the predecessor.

Hopefully, TheLazyPeon has seen our tips video on Kingdom Come 2:

Start video

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: 10 Tips if You’ve Never Played the First Part!

Autoplay

A Medieval World to Fall in Love With

What is TheLazyPeon’s first impression? At the beginning of the video, the MMORPG expert makes it clear again that he usually cannot relate at all to RPGs that place a heavy focus on story and cutscenes. Especially when they use a first-person perspective.

However, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has already blown him away in the first hours. After about twelve hours, he can’t wait to see much more of the extensive role-playing game from Warhorse Studios. He particularly praises:

The well-written dialogues (“the NPCs talk like real people”) are among the best TheLazyPeon has ever experienced in a game.
“Cutscenes, animation, and storytelling are clearly S-tier so far” – this is how they manage to get someone like him, who normally does not like long cutscenes, to watch every sequence with great pleasure.
The detailed world of Kingdom Come 2 looks fantastic, while the game runs smoothly on his PC. The lively activities of the inhabitants also often cause the YouTuber to find himself just watching instead of playing.
The game has the most realistic implementation of alchemy and blacksmithing he has ever experienced in a game.
The rudimentary style of the map enhances the feeling that one must explore the world on their own.
Over the years, TheLazyPeon has played many games with a directional combat system, such as Chivalry or Mordhau. In his view, Kingdom Come 2 is the game that has implemented this type of combat the most realistically thus far. However, it required quite a bit of practice to get into the system.

Despite all this praise, TheLazyPeon emphasizes that not everything has gone smoothly for him in Kingdom Come 2 so far. As someone who has not played the predecessor, he was especially surprised by the initially somewhat steep learning curve. A quest where he had to deal with bandits cost him countless attempts because he was way too weak for an open confrontation.

If you find yourself somewhere in a forest, in the middle of the night, far away from your bed, unprepared and without a torch, in the middle of a quest … and the last save is a while ago … you quickly get the feeling that you are in deep trouble. That happened to me several times. It was quite frustrating.

However, once you fight through this initial experience, acquire equipment, coins, and a horse, and gradually understand the systems and possibilities, successfully complete quests … “from here, it starts to feel really good.” You have the feeling every morning that you are embarking on an epic adventure.

His conclusion: Kingdom Come 2 is a first-person medieval GTA, but with a significantly more realistic and immersive foundation, as the inhabitants have a clear daily routine and remember the player’s actions. You cannot just run around and kill everyone.

Because of this experience, the YouTuber is seriously considering opening his channel in the future for single-player RPGs: “It has changed me.” There isn’t much happening currently in MMORPGs anyway, and he definitely wants to continue playing Kingdom Come 2.

Many industry experts were certain: GTA 6 is still delayed – What does Take-Two say?

Karsten Scholz 7. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

On February 6, 2025, the so-called Earnings Call for Take-Two’s new financial report took place. It’s clear that it also revolved around upcoming blockbuster releases such as GTA 6 and Borderlands 4.

What did Take-Two say? Here are the key insights from the publisher’s new financial report (via ir.take2games.com):

Net bookings of $1.372 billion from Q3 2025 are within expectations. This is primarily due to the NBA2K franchise, which was able to grow by another 30 percent. The mobile sector only grew slightly (by 6 percent), while revenues from GTA Online are declining.
With Civilization 7, PGA TOUR 2K25, and WWE 2K25, the company has three important releases in the first quarter of the year. At least three more are expected to follow this year.
Take-Two confirms that the development of GTA 6 is on track and that they continue to aim for a release in fall 2025 – that is, from September to November 2025.
A little earlier, Mafia: The Old Country is expected to be released in summer 2025.
Borderlands 4 is also still planned for 2025.
The other two announced projects, Judas and Project ETHOS, are still marked as “TBA”.

The first trailer for GTA 6:

So big that everything is affected by it

Why is this confirmation so important? When Rockstar Games releases a new installment of the popular GTA series, it creates a state of emergency. Past releases have shown this, and it stems from the incredible success of GTA 5. For months, various industry insiders have been certain:

GTA 6 is expected to become the most expensive game of all time, which could also affect the price of the blockbuster. The new price could even influence the entire industry. Take-Two’s comment on this: GTA 6 should be worth every penny.
Due to the successes of its predecessors and the hype that the first trailer has already generated, analysts are also predicting enormous success for GTA 6. Similar to GTA 5, the sequel is expected to remain relevant for many years.

“Damn. I’ve done everything except catch this little blue mouse!”

That was my most prominent thought after finishing the first beta of Monster Hunter Wilds. I feel like Captain Ahab, who is obsessed with hunting the white whale Moby Dick in Herman Melville’s novel.

This is my hunt for the mouse.

Wait, what’s sparkling over there?

The beta sends me into the desert. There lives the leviathan Balahara, which I want to take down. It’s the middle of the night, and I first circle around the Balahara on my mount a few times to get a good look at it.

The Balahara lives in the desert and digs through the sand, but it can also weave around narrow rocks.

Suddenly, I see a blue sparkle out of the corner of my eye. Confused by the glimmer, I take a closer look and see a tiny blue mouse. It hops happily through the desert, lifting its long little tail high, at the end of which hangs a small tuft.

If you’re not familiar with Monster Hunter: Alongside the large monsters, there are also endemic creatures on all maps. These can sometimes be valuable resources, like thunderbugs, from which you can craft shock traps, or something like this little mouse here, which simply looks cute and is collected.

And this mouse is really damn cute and special.

I become Captain Ahab, forgetting everything around me. I need this mouse! My brain shuts off, and I become an exterminator, holding my net at the ready.

It’s not easy to take screenshots of this quick little mouse.

I see only glitter and flashes

I’ve forgotten the Balahara. Excited, I run towards the mouse, which notices me right away and scurries away. Now I realize how nimble it is. As it runs, it leaves a trail of sparkle and seems to mock me with every turn it makes.

When I’m joyfully excited, I tend to spontaneously forget the controls in games. This doesn’t make the hunt for my Moby Dick any easier. I start to mix up the buttons and chase after the glimmer.

The Balahara feels provoked by me, and I draw its aggression to me. Now it even starts to chase me! And that’s not all: Due to the new weather system, a thunderstorm is rolling in, and I also see lightning.

Desperately, I somehow throw the net in the direction of the mouse and don’t give up trying to catch it.

I will get you!

At some point, the mouse disappears from my line of sight…

Disheartened, I have to give up the hunt. I haven’t encountered it again in the first beta. Maybe it was hiding behind a rock and cheekily grinning at me.

In the second beta, it’s even possible to hunt the flagship monster Arkveld. I’m really looking forward to that – actually. Because my thoughts are only revolving around this cursed mouse. By now, I know that it is called “Sandstar,” probably translated as Sandstern in German. It’s said to be extremely vigilant and uses highly developed hearing to detect threats and flee from them. I’ve noticed that!

I know: Captain Ahab’s obsession to catch the white whale led him, his crew, and his ship to ruin. The novel warned me.

But never mind. I will catch this mouse, even if it’s the last thing I do in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Monster Hunter Wilds: 10 hidden features you shouldn’t miss in the 2nd beta

Alexander Mehrwald 7. February 2025 Reading time 4 minutes

The first beta of Monster Hunter Wilds was packed with new features. Some of them were also a bit more hidden, but they are not only useful but also quite cool. To ensure you don’t miss out on them in the second beta and the final version, MeinMMO has prepared this list for you.

On February 7, 2025, the first round of the second open beta for Monster Hunter Wilds will start. In two beta phases, you can once again embark on a monster hunt before the release.

From October 29, 2024 to November 4, interested players already got a first impression of the upcoming action RPG. Well over 360,000 people took part in the beta and enjoyed the new gameplay.

Monster Hunter Wilds not only draws from the features of its predecessor Monster Hunter World but also introduces many unique innovations. Some of them were immediately obvious, while others were only discovered by chance or through direct searching. MeinMMO has compiled a list of 10 practical features that you definitely shouldn’t miss.

This is the post from December 14, 2024. We updated the post on February 7, 2024, for the second beta.

Arachnophobia Mode

The probably most practical feature for those who either dislike or are afraid of spiders and insect-like creatures. To enable it, you need to go into the settings and access the accessibility menu. There, under the color blindness section, you’ll find an option that supports arachnophobia (the fear of spiders and spider-like animals).

When you activate this mode, small monsters with many legs transform into funny slime monsters, and other insects in the environment get a new appearance. This setting only changes the visual aspect and has no impact on abilities or difficulty.

Saikrii Bag

If you’ve taken a glance at the control overview of the new mount, you may have already discovered this feature. For everyone else: Your Saikrii has its own little saddlebag that you can access while riding. This contains additional items you can use to replenish your supplies on the go. Sometimes you also receive items specifically suited for the monster you are currently hunting.

If you are playing with a controller, you can find this inventory using the left directional pad. If you’re using a keyboard, press the [N] key to open the saddlebag.

Saikrii Drift

A feature that also concerns your mount and can easily be overlooked is that you can drift with it. If you do this in a specific manner, your mount even gets a sprint boost.

So if you hold down acceleration and brake while in manual mode and steer left or right, you can drift. If you release the brake at the right moment (just before you almost come to a stop), your Saikrii gets a short sprint.

Pokémon TCG Pocket: A card is currently tormenting players, and it doesn’t even attack itself

Max Handwerk 7. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon TCG Pocket, some players are currently pursuing a pretty nasty tactic: Continuous damage without their own attacks. Shardrago is particularly important for this.

What can Shardrago do? Shardrago has the ability “Rough Skin.” And that’s quite useful: Every time Shardrago is attacked, the attacker also takes 20 damage. So there’s a price to pay for attacking Shardrago.

The monster is a basic Pokémon that can be played without evolution. Theoretically, it can be placed on the field from turn 1. And with its 100 HP, it is quite a formidable wall that must be overcome. Especially at the start of the match, this is a wall that isn’t easily surmounted. And if multiple attacks are needed, that costs significant damage.

In the new expansion “Collision of Space and Time,” there is also the card “Bump Helmet,” which gives a Pokémon the same effect as Shardrago’s “Rough Skin.” The kicker: You can also equip Shardrago with it, causing it to deal 40 damage with opposing attacks.

This makes one think twice about whether they really want to attack it. And players exploit this by hiding monsters behind Shardrago that can deal even more damage.

Shardrago annoys players by protecting Darkrai

In the subreddit for Pokémon TCG Pocket, you can see some posts centered around Shardrago, but also Darkrai-ex. Because: Darkrai-ex can even deal constant damage from the bench by generating energies. This means it can annoy your Pokémon every round without having to be brought into the active position itself.

Shardrago, on the other hand, enjoys being in the active position, taking hits, dealing damage, and protecting Darkrai from having to enter the battle itself. While you don’t necessarily use Shardrago for your own attacks, since its move Dragon Claw requires an unfavorable energy mix of Fire, Water, and Colorless. But as a time-waster that gives Darkrai room to attack from the bench, it works great.

This, however, makes it unpopular with some in the community, as can be seen in this reddit post by “Kroanon96”:

Other strong cards in TCG Pocket: The “Collision of Space and Time” expansion has brought a lot of new cards into the game, many of which have emerged as new favorites among players. Darkrai is right at the forefront, but there are also other options – like the new Palkia-ex. If you have already pulled that, you can look forward to one of the best cards in the current meta. Especially when playing Palkia-ex in combination with two other strong cards.

Fnatic hires German coach for LoL, who wasn’t wanted by any team for 2 years – Fans gossip, now he is the savior

Schuhmann 7. February 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The German coach Fabian “GrabbZ” Lohmann (30) has long been considered extremely successful in League of Legends. During his time at G2, he won title after title. However, he fell out of favor and was without a team in 2023 and 2024. A tough time for him, as he says now. In 2025, he was given a chance with the struggling team Fnatic: The fans mocked the hiring at first. But for GrabbZ, things are going excellently.

That was the peak of GrabbZ: GrabbZ had his best time at G2 Esports between 2018 and 2020: G2 was the best team the West ever sent into the competition in 2019 with Perkz, Jankos, and Caps. In 2019, GrabbZ won the MSI 2019, the Spring and Summer Split in the LEC, and finished second at Worlds.

But for the coach, who was long considered “the best coach in the West”, it ended in 2021 at G2: That was the year when Perkz was replaced by Rekkles, and the performance was poor. Years later, the CEO stated that Rekkles had been a terrible teammate.

GrabbZ then coached Team BDS in 2022 but only stayed there for a year. Team BDS had a weak year, finishing second to last in Spring and last in the Summer Split 2022. Afterward, GrabbZ, despite winning so many titles at G2, simply couldn’t find a team.

Das ist LoL – Einmal richtig ehrlich erklärt

German star coach was without a team for 2 years, went through tough times

How was GrabbZ during the time without a team? In a recent interview (via YouTube), GrabbZ talks about the time when he was not coaching a team:

I want to coach a team. I want to be in the scene, it brings me joy. Everyone has a passion in their life, and when you lose that, it feels somehow pointless to get up in the morning. I don’t want to say I was depressed because depression is such a serious issue, I don’t know if that diagnosis applies to me – but I had phases in 2024 where I had really little motivation.

GrabbZ says that the managers thought he had completely stopped and was retired because he was no longer seen. That’s why he started streaming and creating content, but that didn’t give him anything at all. Therefore, he is now grateful that Fnatic gave him a chance.

Fans doubt the coach when Fnatic signs him

What was it like when Fnatic brought him on? About 3 months ago, it was announced that Fnatic, which came from a mixed season, had signed GrabbZ as their new head coach. Fnatic finished the Spring Split first, but then lost to G2 in the finals of the playoffs. However, Summer and Winter were only mediocre for Fnatic.

With the German ADC Upset and support player Mikyx, Fnatic also secured a new bot lane: Upset came from a difficult situation as well. Mikyx had just been removed from G2 after he and the jungler were blamed for G2’s poor performance at Worlds.

The comments about the hiring of GrabbZ on reddit were mixed. Users said:

The team either plays 9-0 or 0-9
GrabbZ can’t manage the mid laner Humanoid. He has no leverage to deal with the difficult player
GrabbZ doesn’t have a good record if you exclude G2 2018-2020, it was said
Another said: Nothing would change. This messed up team couldn’t even be saved by Kkoma, the star coach of T1

LoL changes a champ after 14 years, brings urgent rework – fans criticize: The greatest problem still persists

von Nico Scheibel

Dog streams LoL on Twitch and plays better than many human players

von Christoph Waldboth

Fans do not understand how anyone could ever doubt GrabbZ

How did it really go?? GrabbZ and the supposed “loser roster” dominated the Winter Split 2025 in the LEC. They only lost the opening match and then won 8 games in a row. With a record of 8-1, they finished the regular season in first place.

In the comments on reddit, it now says:

It’s insane how a few memes have managed to portray the most successful coach in the West of all time as someone who just steals paycheck.
It’s clear to see that he still has it.
GrabbZ is the ideal coach to manage a team with players who have “big egos” and keep them under control.

GrabbZ’s career has strong parallels to Upset’s career

What’s behind this: It is remarkable that a coach in LoL, who has been successful for years, only needs two weaker years with teams that have a dysfunctional roster before sitting at home for 2 years. This shows that in LoL, circumstances matter much more than how competent a player or a coach is perceived:

At G2, everything obviously went wrong after the departure of Perkz and the hiring of Swedish star player Rekkles.
His next team, Team BDS, also apparently had internal issues with young players. Adam, who was considered a huge talent but already caused a lot of unrest at Fnatic, played there.

Parallel to GrabbZ, his current ADC Upset also had a terrible 2 years. As with GrabbZ, Upset’s suffering began when Rekkles was brought into his team.

GrabbZ and Upset, along with Broken Blade and Kaiser, are the best Germans in LoL. It is a strange development that 2 such successful e-sports athletes have had equally unfortunate years and then became so successful together 25-year-old was long considered the best German in LoL, then Fnatic kicked him out, now he is back

The survival MMO Dune: Awakening showcases the deadly beauty of the desert planet in the new trailer

Ody 7. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In 2025, a new survival MMO in the sci-fi universe of Dune, Dune: Awakening, is set to be released. Awakening takes place on the desert planet Arrakis – and it looks stunningly beautiful in the new trailer.

What kind of game is it? If you have missed the game so far, here’s a brief summary: Dune: Awakening is an upcoming survival MMO by Funcom, the creators of Conan Exiles. The setting is the Dune universe created by sci-fi author Frank Herbert.

In a new trailer, the developers of Dune: Awakening present the game world. It is the desert planet Arrakis – the planet of spice (an extremely valuable resource) as well as the home of the Fremen and huge, all-consuming sandworms.

You can watch the trailer here:

Everything done right with the atmosphere

What does the trailer show? Even though Arrakis is an endless desert (you won’t find water here), the environment is quite diverse. In addition to classic dunes, the trailer shows enormous rock formations battered by the planet’s strong winds, massive canyons, and also some beautiful plays of light.

It seems that the deadly beauty of Arrakis has already captivated many fans. In the comments on the trailer on YouTube, among other things, it is said:

mdilelio: “You managed to make a biome like the desert a place full of diversity and verticality. Great job!”
RealisticMgmt: “Whatever one might say about this game, once it’s released, one cannot deny that Funcom has captured the essence of Arrakis. Absolutely stunning work.”
maninredhelm: “The one thing you can always count on from Funcom is the aesthetics. I’m a big admirer of their work, which is why I stick with them.”

While there’s great praise for the game’s atmosphere, opinions on the gameplay are not quite as certain. maninredhelm adds: “The gameplay on the other hand… Well, we will ride this worm when it appears.”

Pokémon TCG Pocket: Sleep Deck – How to incapacitate your opponents

Johanna 7. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon TCG Pocket, in addition to the effects of paralysis or poisoning, there is also the sleep effect. This provides you with an advantage in battle, and you can build an entire deck around it. MyMMO reveals to you the various ways you can set up such a deck.

Update on February 7, 2025: We have added Darkrai as a potential sleep deck.

What is the “Sleep” effect? Certain Pokémon have the additional effect in their attacks of putting the targeted Pokémon to sleep. In the next round, a coin must be tossed to decide whether the Pokémon wakes up or not. On heads, the Pokémon wakes up; on tails, it remains asleep.

Pokémon that are put to sleep are unable to act; they cannot attack or retreat.

How are our decks structured? Since there are various Pokémon that have the ability to put others to sleep, but it would be impractical to pack them all into one deck, we have put together a sleep deck for you based on type.

With our table of contents, you can jump to the deck that interests you the most.

You can find the trailer for the new expansion here:

These Pokémon can put your opponent to sleep

Which Pokémon can put others to sleep? For building your sleep deck, these Pokémon are essential:

Puffluff (only available as a promo card in the Bisaflor event)
Snorluff-ex
Gloom
Hypno
Spheal

Puffluff’s attack is the only one that does not deal additional damage, and Hypno has the ability to put the active Pokémon to sleep. This means you can make your opponent sleep, even if Hypno is not in the active position.

With the expansion Collision of Space and Time, Darkrai was also added, which can put the opponent to sleep. However, it requires 3 energy like Snorluff-ex but only adds 60 damage points. Therefore, you should only use it when facing a deck that has Dark as a weakness.

Building a Sleep Deck

The bolded ones are the cards you definitely need; the others can be swapped out according to preference. Puffluff and Snorluff-ex can be included in any sleep deck since they are colorless.

The 2nd Beta of Monster Hunter Wilds is now live – Here’s what you need to know if you want to keep your character

Alexander Mehrwald 7. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The time has come, and you can dive into the beta of Monster Hunter Wilds for the second time. If you are particularly attached to your created hunter, you can carry them over to the full version. However, you need to keep some things in mind.

What is the beta? The second open beta for Monster Hunter Wilds is a stress test that allows interested players to take a sneak peek at the game. The beta takes place in two phases:

The first phase runs from February 7, 2025, at 4:00 AM to February 10, 3:59 AM.
The second phase starts on February 14, at 4:00 AM and ends on February 17, at 3:59 AM.

In the beta, you can not only test the basic features of the game and some hunts but also create your character and your Palico. After the beta, you can seamlessly transfer them to the full version. There are some important details to consider.

In the latest trailer, you will see for the first time the Ice Shard Cliffs and a familiar monster:

Start video

In the new trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds, it gets icy

Autoplay

How to transfer your character to the full version

What you need to pay attention to: First, it is important to know that you can only transfer your character and your Palico. Any progress or items collected will not be carried over. However, you can start directly with your previously created hunter at release and won’t have to spend additional time in the character editor.

During the beta, you can customize and change your character and your Palico as often as you like. However, you should be aware that some design elements in the finished game may look different since improvements and adjustments for the full version are not yet included in the beta.

If you have changed your character, you should definitely start the game again with them before closing it, as there may be errors in the transfer to the server otherwise.

Some players encountered issues in the first beta where they were unable to transfer their data to the server. This occurred primarily for players who modified their hunter using the “Edit Character” option in the “Select Save Data” screen. The error mainly affected players who closed the game after making changes without selecting the save data.

What if I encountered the error in the first beta? Anyone who encountered the error in the first beta should participate in the second beta again to resolve the issue. Players should then possibly adjust their character again and start the game at least once more with them before closing it.

For some, the character’s design might still be on the hardware, so you may just need to start the game once more with your hunter to transfer the data.

Anyone looking to dive back into the hunt this weekend or during the second beta phase can also enjoy some new content. This time, there is also a monster that experienced hunters might find familiar and that will present special challenges to newcomers: In the 2nd beta of Monster Hunter Wilds, you will face a particularly cheeky opponent that you should not fall for

Mark Zuckerberg is going all in: Either his Metaverse will succeed by 2025 or it will fail miserably

Benedikt Schlotmann 7. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Mark Zuckerberg and his company Meta have been investing in the Metaverse for years. Now, Meta has internally explained to employees: This year will go down in history. There will be great success or the project will fail.

Mark Zuckerberg and Meta are said to have already invested billions of euros in the Metaverse project, but so far success has been limited. Steam boss Gabe Newell stated that he cannot understand the enthusiasm for the Metaverse.

However, Meta does not want to change its course. Rather, Mark Zuckerberg has stated that another 62 billion euros will be invested in the project in 2025. However, this could be the last time, as it was discussed in a call that 2025 will be crucial for the future direction.

The Metaverse must become a big success in 2025 or it will go down in history as a ‘legendary misadventure’

Andrew Bosworth, CTO of Meta, gives the Metaverse one year to become a hit, according to an internal forum post reported by Businessinsider. Specifically, it is mainly about “Reality Labs”: The department was formerly known as Oculus VR and is now part of Meta Platforms, which is responsible for hardware and software for virtual reality. Here it says:

This year [2025] will likely determine whether this entire effort will be remembered as the work of visionaries or as a legendary misadventure.

Bosworth adds that Reality Labs, although 2024 is expected to be the best year for the department, “has not yet made a real dent in the world.” The group is now smaller after layoffs and the success of Meta’s Ray-Bans and AI efforts, but Bosworth writes that this will not be sufficient for 2025. They must establish the project “Horizon Worlds” worldwide. And in the end, 2025 will determine whether they succeed or fail miserably.

Bosworth himself stated: One does not need to throw fantastic new ideas onto the market. Instead, one should just do the work well.

Meta’s VR department has been suffering billion-dollar losses for years

High losses for 6 years: According to the website Statista.com, the operating loss of Meta’s VR department was reported to be 17.7 billion US dollars last year. Over the past 6 years, it is said to total even 70 billion. On the other hand, the department has only generated a profit of 2.1 billion US dollars during the same period.

In other words: Mark Zuckerberg and Meta have been burning large amounts of money for half a year to make the Metaverse a success. It is not surprising that Mark Zuckerberg and his co-CEO are making 2025 the decision year for VR and the Metaverse. Because the department must finally become profitable.

And according to players, something urgently needs to change. So far, players have been visibly shocked by the graphics of the Metaverse. And this is for a project into which billions of US dollars have already flowed.

Zelda fan wants to sell old game, is lucky that the community warns him within minutes

Jasmin Beverungen 7. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A seller had tried to sell a copy of his gaming collection. But he greatly overestimated the price.

What game did he want to sell? The young player from California, who calls himself Kiro, listed a copy of the very first Zelda game on eBay, which Nintendo developed in 1986.

In The Legend of Zelda, players take on the role of Link. The title was released for the NES console and has been re-released several times on the Virtual Console of subsequent Nintendo consoles over the years.
Link collects more and more items and heart containers during his adventure, which make him stronger. To obtain them, he must face the challenges in the dungeons.
The famous line ‘It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this’ originates from this Zelda game.

Why did Kiro want to sell his game for such a high price? Regular copies of the game are currently being sold on eBay for prices up to 500 euros. However, Kiro knew that his sealed copy was from the first edition and therefore demanded around 19,000 euros for the game as a direct purchase. But he was made aware that the game is even more valuable.

In the latest installment of the series, we don’t play as Link anymore, but as the eponymous princess:

First edition of Zelda is worth even more than thought

What was so special about it? Within minutes, several users reportedly contacted Kiro. Among his messages were many warnings, as he recounts:

“Within minutes of posting the item, several people reached out to me and asked if I knew what I had.”

Because: Kiro had the rarest and most valuable variant of The Legend of Zelda. He owned the true first production of the game. From the very first production batch, there were only three copies, and one of them was in Kiro’s possession.

One interested party reportedly even offered to drive to him directly and bring him 28,865 euros in cash. By that point, the seller realized how special his game really is and canceled the direct purchase.
