The genre of online role-playing games looks back on many decades and countless achievements. In this article, we present to all fans of WoW, FFXIV, ESO and others 10 remarkable records from the world of MMORPGs.
The fantastic worlds of MMORPGs have captivated countless players for many years. They form the foundation of huge communities, drive their fans to peak performances, and create moments and memories that cannot be found in any other genre.
Some of these achievements are reflected in world records that have been set over the decades. Some “World Records” document the evolution that the genre has gone through, or the passion with which a studio has created its MMORPG. Below, MeinMMO presents some of these records from the world of online role-playing games.
Where does the information come from? From the official website of Guinness World Records. Of course, only records that have been submitted by someone appear there. Some of the records are quite specific. For example, the record of the oldest player (86 years old) of World of Warcraft, who managed to collect 850 unique pets (via guinnessworldrecords.com).

The largest banning wave of all time
It is known that many publishers and developers prefer to act in large banning waves against accounts that have violated the terms of service of the respective game. According to guinnessworldrecords.com, the largest banning action to date is said to have affected 16,000 players in one fell swoop.
The banning hammer was swung by NCSoft, in the online role-playing game Aion, on November 23, 2009. The affected accounts were said to have engaged in real-money trading, exploited bugs, and used bots.

The best MMORPGs of all time for PC and console
The first “18+” MMORPG
You might first think of Age of Conan, which was released by Funcom in May 2008 and received a USK age rating of 18 years due to its brutal combat and a certain amount of nudity.
However, there was another online role-playing game from Japan that received an “Adult Rating” even earlier. The name of the MMORPG: A3 (stands for “Art, Alive, and Attraction)” (via guinnessworldrecords.com). The English version of the game was buried with the closure of the global and Indian servers in 2009.
The Korean company NCSoft is said to have released 24 MMORPGs between its founding in March 1997 and October 2010 (via guinnessworldrecords.com). This phase includes titles such as Lineage, Lineage II, City of Heroes, Guild Wars, Tabula Rasa, and Aion.
In the following 14 years, of course, various other titles were added, such as Blade & Soul, WildStar, Guild Wars 2, Lineage M, or most recently Throne and Liberty. Moreover, Aion 2, Project LLL, and Project E are also on the release list for 2025 and beyond.
Do you remember APB (All Points Bulletin)? This MMORPG wanted to be what GTA Online later became. Unfortunately, upon launch, many issues such as boring missions, clunky controls, and outdated graphics arose.
Only 79 days after launch, the developers pulled the plug (via guinnessworldrecords.com). Refunds for the purchase price or subscription fees are said never to have been offered.
Even faster, the lights went out for the SciFi MMO Phylon. Only 20 days after its launch on June 20, 2007, the servers and the associated website suddenly went offline (via guinnessworldrecords.com).

In 2019, the online shooter Fortnite: Battle Royale was the hottest game on the planet, and talented young gamers could earn a lot of money from the game. A single mother from England decided at that time to take her 15-year-old son Benjy David Fish out of school so he would have more time for Fortnite. We at MeinMMO look at how the now 20-year-old is doing in 2024.
This was the situation with Fortnite in 2019:
The online shooter from Epic Games, Fortnite: Save the World, was released in 2017 but had actually already failed. Therefore, Epic Games developed a variant of the game that was heavily inspired by PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. They knew how to do this because Epic Games built the Unreal Engine, which also runs PUBG.
This new variant, Fortnite: Battle Royale, proved to be a hit that conquered the world in 2018.
With Fortnite, one could earn a lot of money in 2019, provided they were good enough: Anyone who qualified for the World Cup individually received $50,000. Even $100,000 if they qualified in both the solo discipline and in duo.
So, the mother of a talented English boy decided to take her teenage son out of regular school. He played Fortnite with online friends in the USA at night and was always tired during the day in school.
Start video
Mother takes 15-year-old son out of school so he has time for Fortnite – This is how it went for him
The first big check came from MontanaBlack when he was only 14
This is how the mother decided: The then 14-year-old won $10,000 at a tournament of the German streamer MontanaBlack in February 2019 together with the 14-year-old Norwegian MrSavage (via reddit). That was his first big payday.
But while things were going so well online, it became rougher for Benjy Fish in the real world: His mother Anne had constant disagreements with her son during this time because he stayed up at night to play Fortnite with his friends in the USA and was then tired in school.
The scene shows his mother standing at her son’s door with a bell, trying to wake him up.
His mother waited until Benjy qualified for the lucrative World Cup in Fortnite and had signed with an e-sports team: Then she decided to take the boy out of school and have him taught at home, but with a relaxed curriculum. The material that is taught in school in 2 years should be taught to her son in 3 years.
The idea was to let the boy learn on his own time and to subordinate everything to the fact that he played with players from the USA at night.
At that time, the mother had already been through a long and hard time: Her husband David had passed away when Benjy was only 8 months old, and she was a single mother of 2 young sons. Charles was 7 years older than Benjy and had introduced him to gaming.
Benjy was into shooters from an early age and had already played Call of Duty, Halo, and Counter-Strike extensively before he started with Fortnite. He got his first laptop at the age of 9.
At 15, Benjy is very successful in Fortnite and builds a Twitch channel
This is how it went for the 15-year-old at the beginning: Initially, the mother’s decision paid off fully, as Fortnite dished out high profits in 2019 and 2020:
At 15, benjyfishy earned $392,447 in prize money from Fortnite (before taxes and deductions). However, his performance in the World Cup itself wasn’t so great. He narrowly missed placements that would have brought him higher prize money in his solo and duo appearances.
At 16, he secured $147,176 in prize money.
Additionally, benjyfishy was able to build a successful Twitch channel. He had an average of 24,000 viewers on Twitch in 2020. With that, he surely generated high earnings as well.
2021 brought a break: prize money collapsed
When did things start to go wrong? In 2021, benjyfishy was 17 and revenues from Fortnite collapsed. The team at Epic Games realized that e-sports wasn’t as profitable as originally thought. During the pandemic, large events weren’t possible anymore. Something like the big live event such as the Fortnite World Cup in 2019 would never happen again.
The prize money for benjyfishy collapsed:
At 17, he only earned 28,395 euros in prize money from Fortnite.
When he turned 18, there was only 3,053 euros left for him – that was about one hundredth of what he could earn at 15.
His viewer numbers on Twitch also did not look as fantastic as in the golden years for a long time.
Within a short time, the golden years at Fortnite were over via X
At 18, Benjy quits Fortnite – Against his mother’s will
This was his risky step: The love for Fortnite had also faded by then. In 2022, the now 18-year-old announced that his time with Fortnite was over and that he wanted to turn to the new shooter Valorant from Riot Games. That was a risky move at the time because it’s known that Twitch viewers who know a player for just one game quickly disappear when they switch games.
His mother did not like that at all. She wanted to convince her son to continue playing Fortnite alongside Valorant, but Benjy remained stubborn: He simply couldn’t play Fortnite anymore and needed to focus entirely on one game.
How did that develop? In Valorant, he consciously joined a second-rate team because he wanted to earn a chance and not benefit from his big name from Fortnite.
At first, things didn’t look so good; in his first year with Valorant, when he was 19, he could only win about €3,500 in prize money.
His Twitch channel also performed as poorly as expected. He had an average of only 2,300 viewers and streamed significantly less than before.
In 2024, Benjy makes a breakthrough in the new game and has his best year in a long time
But in 2024, at 20 years old, the tide turns for benjyfishy. After 4 years of declining prize money and his channel shrinking, he managed to turn things around in 2024.
The 20-year-old found a strong team in Valorant and secured at least second place in 3 tournaments:
With €121,000 in prize money, he had his best year in a long time and proved that he has enough talent to be successful in 2 titles.
His Twitch channel has also recovered somewhat, although he no longer streams as much and is not as big as during his golden Fortnite days.
But overall, benjyfishy seems to be happy now: In Valorant, he found a new home with the team Heretics and travels around the world in e-sports, but at Christmas, he still enjoys being in England with his mom, who is clearly very satisfied with her decision.
His mother is now also involved in e-sports.
The mother now works in e-sports and is proud of her son
This is how his mother is doing: The mother now has her own YouTube channel with “MamaBenjyifishy” and works as an “e-sports consultant.” Since March 2023, she even has her own skin bundle in Fortnite, which sells for 2,000 V-Bucks (about €18).
In a YouTube video, Anne Fish says she misses having her son always around and the time when he lived in her house, and she could hear the sounds from his room.
Currently, there is one of the best games of 2021 on Steam on sale, and the discount is almost as high as the positive reviews of the game.
Which game is it? The game Psychonauts 2 is available on Steam at its lowest price ever. In this action-adventure, you play the skilled acrobat and powerful young psychic Razputin “Raz” Aquato. He has joined an international psychic espionage organization and now has to save it.
To do this, you must navigate the character through various puzzles and “Jump ‘n’ Run” sections, using your superhero powers to overcome the challenges along the way.
As you play through the levels, you follow a humorous and exciting story from the game designer of Grim Fandango, Brütal Legend, and Broken Age, Tim Schafer.
Here you can watch the trailer for the game:

Award-winning for the price of a döner
How much does Psychonauts 2 cost currently? Psychonauts 2 is currently on Steam for just €5.99. According to Tagesschau.de, döner average cost more than this price. After the sale, the price will likely rise back to €59.99.
Psychonauts 2 has been on sale during other discounts, but it has never been this cheap (via SteamDB). The title is quite prestigious, with 28 awards on the Steam page of the game.
On the review portal metacritic.com, Psychonauts 2 has a score of 87 from the press. Among users, the game has a score of 81 on the site. On Steam itself, the reviews are even better, with the platformer achieving a full 96% positive reviews.
What do fans say about the game? Fans rave about the 3D platformer universally. There is hardly any criticism of the game in the reviews on Steam. Some even claim Psychonauts 2 is bug-free, like NLG00 on Steam.
Raz writes on Steam: “I loved it!!! From start to finish, this game captivated me with its good gameplay, overall design, and story. The comedic moments were very funny, and the final act quite intense.”
Bayo has already played the first part of Psychonauts on Steam and the sequel has also convinced him: “The continuation is a masterpiece in practically every respect. The complexity of the story, the level gimmicks, the fights, the art direction, the music, the voice acting; literally every aspect has improved since the original.”

Additionally, there is also a new katana, the Taifun Blade. It is infused with magic and allows you to perform precise melee thrusts while using little stamina.
The Taifun Blade
New items: Oni Masks
There will also be no shortage of items. Oni masks will give you a decisive advantage in combat. In the new map, you can defeat lesser demons to obtain these masks from them.
The Oni Masks
Each mask has its own effects. So far, only two are known:
Fire Oni Mask
Effect: Throw homing fireballs at your opponents that cause immense damage
Void Oni Mask
Effect: Allows you to teleport
New companions: The Nature Spirits
The three known nature spirits
In Chapter 6, there will also be nature spirits that can help you in battle or grant you bonuses. Epic Games has introduced three specimens:
Air Spirits can be thrown to create a whirlwind, allowing you to launch yourself into the air. You can redeploy your glider when you are thrown high up. The whirlwind can also damage buildings and launch vehicles into the air.
Water Spirits can be thrown to create a healing fountain that restores health and shields to all nearby players.
Earth Spirits consume the items you feed them and provide you with a reward in return.
Additionally, you can take spirits with you and revive forgotten shrines to receive blessings. The following are known:
Fire Blessing – Reload weapons faster.
Void Blessing – Eliminate players to see other players nearby.
Wind Blessing – Move faster while equipped with the pickaxe.
Water Blessing – While swimming, you and nearby teammates receive health and shields.
These blessings remain even after your demise.
New vehicle: Rogue Motorcycle and Void-Burn
There is also supposed to be a new motorcycle that you can ride through the streets of the new map. The Rogue Motorcycle has been designed to allow you to perform perfect wheelies. If you prefer cars, then the two-door “Void-Burn” might be just right for you.
The Rogue Motorcycle
The parkour has been expanded
While fans could initially only jump over low objects, they can now perform new stunts to chase their targets or escape from enemies. The following movement options are now available:
Dive Leap:
Allows you to perform a dive leap with the right speed and near an edge or cliff.
Roll Landing:
If you hold down the jump button or press it just before hitting the ground after a fall, you will roll and recover a bit of stamina at the same time.
Wall Kick:
If you jump against a vertical surface next to you while in the air, you will perform a wall kick. With wall kicks, you jump away from the wall in the direction of your choice.
Wall Run:
If you jump against a vertical surface in front of you, you will perform a wall run action. Reach the extremely high ledge by taking a few steps up the wall.
New mechanic: Easy Editing
With easy editing, players can now edit the building piece they are currently targeting without having to pull out their blueprint. This allows you to adjust your structures even faster in combat. This is meant to help newcomers become comfortable with building.
The new Battle Pass of Chapter 6 Season 1
These are all the skins from the new Battle Pass
With the release of Chapter 6, a new Battle Pass will also be available for you. The following skins will be available:
Ninjatze
Jade
Kendo
Daigo
Shadow Blade-Hope
Baymax the Hero
The Nightrose
Furthermore, the outfit “Advanced Godzilla” is expected to be unlockable by completing Battle Pass tasks in January. The Battle Pass and Season 1 will then end on February 21 at 08:00 AM German time.
Fortnite has briefly revealed its new map for Chapter 6. You will soon land on it in December, but before you do, you need to know what details there are and what it actually looks like. We will show it to you.
Where do the infos come from? Recently, Fortnite had planned a live event for the end of Chapter 5. In this, four well-known artists from the rap scene performed their most famous songs.
Towards the end of the event, for a brief moment, the new map of Chapter 6 was introduced, as we slowly approached it until the clouds closed again. Now a summary of all the POIs has also become known. Epic Games has officially revealed this.

Fortnite: The new map of Chapter 6 is square
What will change? Basically everything. The new map of Chapter 6 will provide a new playground for all fans who are excited about the Battle Royale. In the embedded recording, you can see the new map with all its POIs:
Shoguns Solitude
Canyon Crossing
Masked Meadows
Hopeful Heights

Nightshift Forest
Twinkle Terrace
Lost Lake
Brutal Boxcars
Shining Span
Pumped Power
Demons Dojo
Magic Mosses
Flooded Frogs
Whiffy Wharf
This is what the new map looks like
What stands out first is its square shape. Normally, all maps in Fortnite have a rather irregular pattern, but this one seems to have only a few islands at the edge. The action will thus take place on the mainland inside the map.
In terms of variety, different biomes can be recognized. From snow-covered mountains, green meadows, to barren desert landscapes, everything is included to make the battlefield exciting. In addition to the biomes, there is also a city and roads that connect all places. It remains to be seen what new POIs there will actually be.
That was all the important info you should know about the new map of Chapter 6. If you missed the live event and want to know what happened, feel free to check here. We were there and summarized the main events: Fortnite: This is how the live event for Chapter 6 went

A gamer found an Nvidia graphics card in the trash, but not just any card; it is probably a prototype of what could be the fastest gaming GPU of all time.
What was fished out of the trash? Reddit user This_Explanation_514 posted in the Nvidia Subreddit several pictures of a massive graphics card, four slots wide, and the design is unmistakably: Nvidia Founders Edition.
According to his report, he found it in the trash. Reddit, as well as us, clearly recognize a legend: the Nvidia Geforce RTX 4090 Ti, which was leaked multiple times during the Nvidia 4000 series – also known as the “TITAN successor.” The Reddit user likely found the fastest gaming GPU of all time in the garbage.
However, the Nvidia Geforce RTX 4090 Ti has never been officially released, even though it has been seen multiple times in leaks in the past. It is likely that the supposed find is a prototype (via wccftech).
Update from December 2, 2024: We made minor adjustments to the article.
Hardware power on the scale that a theoretical RTX Geforce 4090 Ti would provide could surely make Cyberpunk 2077 look better than on any other PC. Here’s the trailer for the Ultimate Edition for you:
Start video
Cyberpunk 2077: The Ultimate Edition trailer shows a ‘City of Dreams’
A giant – even among giants
What kind of card is this exactly? The prototype of the Nvidia Geforce RTX 4090 Ti, presumably existing (but never officially confirmed), would be the successor to the Nvidia TITAN RTX. That was the best card from Nvidia’s 2000 series and cost 2,700 euros at release (via computerbase).
An Nvidia Geforce RTX 4090 Ti would likely overshadow the TITAN RTX by a long shot. The base version alone still lists for nearly 2,700 euros on Amazon. An old Titan RTX can be found used on Ebay for around 800 euros.
Why is the graphics card so large? The dimensions of the card are explained by a different fan design to dissipate the enormous heat. Additionally, the heat sink itself is simply larger. At Igorslab, you can see a visual comparison with the Titan and more details about the size comparison with the Nvidia Geforce RTX 4090, which is only three slots wide. This refers to the usual slots at the back of PC cases where the card’s connections can be found.
Why was the 4090 Ti never released? Nvidia has never publicly commented on this. However, it seems that the chip giant never had a reason to release a card with performance beyond the Geforce RTX 4090. The latter is to this day the fastest gaming GPU by far, as data from Techpowerup shows. Only the upcoming announcement and release of the 5000 series by Nvidia in 2025 is likely to change this status. But it remains a speculation; there may be other reasons from Nvidia’s side as well.
Does the found GPU work? As of November 30, this is unknown. The Reddit user is currently waiting for special cables to power the giant. We will keep you updated here.
In Fortnite, a concert was held tonight to properly celebrate the end of Chapter 5. What you should know about the live event and when you should log in is explained here.
Saturday, 30.11.2024
8:18 PM
We are now ending our live ticker. More info on when the downtime starts and what you should know about the update tomorrow will be available early in our new live ticker here:
After the concert, Hope and Jonesy spawned out of nowhere and we followed them through a portal into another dimension, where fans could briefly see the new map of Chapter 6. Now fans have the chance to continue dreaming with Juice WRLD or leave the mode.
8:13 PM
After Eminem, Ice Spice followed with a short performance on the rooftops of a city. Now Juice WRLD stands before us and performs as the last artist of the concert his song Lucid Dreams. As a butterfly, you can fly through the map and watch him sing.
8:08 PM
Next was Eminem. In his performance, he fought against the big mech bear from Chapter 1. Fists and rockets flew as they demolished the map with explosions.
8:07 PM
The concert has started and Snoop Dogg has begun to rap. His skin moves through the map as he performs.
7:57 PM
In just 3 minutes, the concert will begin, are you ready?
7:31 PM
If you are in the lobby, but the mode won’t let you in, you can first activate another mode and then switch to the live event. It should work then. We managed to do it too
All players are patiently waiting for the live event
7:23 PM
We have now logged in again and find ourselves in a short queue with a duration of 1:30 minutes. You can still try to log in again.
7:20 PM
Now the time has come for you to log into the new mode. We are currently trying to log in, but somehow we can’t get in. We are trying to log in again and hope for a quick log-in.
7:09 PM
Only 10 minutes remain until fans can log into the concert. After that, players will probably have to wait until 8 PM until the actual concert starts.
6:27 PM
By now you should log in to have the chance to experience the live event live. As Shiina (via x.com) reported, already up to 4 million players have logged in. So be quick.
5:04 PM
Only 2 hours left until the actual admission. Don’t forget to redeem your last Battle Stars before they are permanently banned from Fortnite with Chapter 6.
4:14 PM
Good afternoon! Admission to the remix concert will take place in three hours. If you want to be there live, you should log in slowly now so you don’t end up in a queue.
What is this live event? This is the big live event for the end of Chapter 5. The artist Juice WRLD will hold a concert with other renowned singers to mark the end of the chapter.
This event does not represent a story-relevant event and can be cleverly ignored by all lore fans who are not interested in the event. However, we will show you why this event is still worth it.
The new cinematic trailer for Chapter 6 has already been released:

When does the live event start? The admission to the live event takes place on November 30, 2024, at 7:20 PM. At this time, you can log into the mode to secure a spot so you don’t miss the event.
If you get kicked from the servers due to an error, you can check out the following streamers and watch the event:
What should I know about the live event? In the live event, Juice WRLD, Eminem, Ice Spice, and Snoop Dogg will host a concert. In such concerts, the artists are represented with their skins, which then perform in front of a virtual stage and get the fans cheering with their songs, just as happened with Travis Scott and Ariana Grande.
After the live event, Chapter 5 will be wrapped up, and the new update for the start of Chapter 6 will be uploaded to the servers during the subsequent downtime.
Especially during such live events, the player rush will be enormous, so it is advantageous if you log in a few hours before the event starts to experience it for yourself.
Also, be prepared for server instability due to the high number of players. If you haven’t completed your battle pass yet, now would be the best time to hurry up.
Are there rewards? Yes, there are. All players who log in between November 25 at 3:00 PM and December 1 at 4:00 AM will receive the outfit “Slayer Juice WRLD” the day after their login.
Outfit “Slayer Juice WRLD”
In addition to the skin, you will also receive the following items for your locker, fitting to the skin:
Outfit “Slayer Juice WRLD”
Pickaxe “999-Knife”
Back accessory “999-Knife”
Loading screen “Adventure-Remix”

In Season 7 of Diablo 4, Blizzard makes it easier to hand in whisper tasks and obtain strong loot. Not only is the submission location overhauled, but also the loot chests you receive.
The “Whispering Tree” is now a good place for materials and loot. Thus, it belongs to the best farming spots for numerous items in the endgame of Diablo 4. You will receive loot chests there when you exchange your collected gifts, which you earn for whisper tasks in the open world. This now also includes endgame activities such as Uber bosses and the Under City of Kurast.
The whisper tasks are intended to be not only more important but also faster to submit in Season 7. In the “Campfire Chat” livestream on YouTube, the developers reported on November 21 what they have planned for the “Whispering Tree”.
Start video
Blizzard summarizes the story of Diablo 4 in the video
Chests with “bequeathed” items and the Tree’s Ravens
Changes to be made to the tasks:
The layout of the place at the “Whispering Tree” will be reworked, allowing you to reach the tree faster from the waypoint.
The merchants will be rearranged, and more will be added: Alchemist, Armory, Curio Dealer, and Healer.
There will be “Ravens of the Tree” in areas where there are whisper tasks. At the ravens, you can also exchange your gifts for loot chests, so you don’t have to always return to the tree when you are in the “flow”, Dan Tanguay, the lead designer for seasons, notes.

Dan Tanguay explains that players will visit the city more often in Season 7 and will rely much more on the services there. Design Director Colin Finer reminds that there is an option to favorite waypoints. This is particularly helpful for the new “Witch City”. Some players have only recently discovered the new feature.
Why will players use the location often? The new mechanic in Season 7 of Diablo 4 is the powers of witchcraft. You can utilize the powers and learn special abilities. To learn new powers, you farm the season’s renown, which you receive among other sources for seasonal whisper tasks, and sacrifice it at the altar at the “Whispering Tree”. With the “Quality of Life” changes, Blizzard aims to make the process more convenient.
In Season 7, there are three different types of witch powers that you can learn. Additionally, you can discover rare, lost powers of witchcraft. How to obtain the powers and how they function is explained here: Diablo 4 Witchcraft Powers: How the mechanic works in Season 7

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League faced a lot of flak upon its release in February 2024. Good for you: This means you can secure a playable superhero blockbuster for just a few euros on Steam that is better than its reputation.
What do I need to know about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League? The action title comes from the creators of the popular Batman: Arkham series: Rocksteady Studios. Accordingly, many fans had high expectations for the new “superhero” adventure at an AAA level.
Similar to Marvel’s Avengers by Crystal Dynamics (also known for strong single-player experiences like the Tomb Raider trilogy), the plan backfired. The seasonal endgame feels uninspired and generic, the missions repeat too quickly, and the team AI fails.
Here is one of the trailers for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League:
Start video
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Harley Quinn Trailer
Better than its reputation
So how good is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League? On metacritic.com, the game receives an average score of only 60 to 63, depending on the platform, due to these and other weaknesses. A disastrous result for an AAA game. The user score is even just 3.4. On Steam, the game is rated as “Mixed,” with only 66 percent positive reviews.
The approximately 12-hour-long, partly well-staged story campaign can be enjoyable. Thanks to the optional co-op mode, even with up to three friends.
In terms of gameplay, the battles with the four playable heroes and the fast movement through the game world particularly shine. All of these are valid reasons to check out Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. At least, if the price is right.
How much does it cost? Good question. Currently, you can get the standard version on Steam for just 3.49 euros. Every coffee at Starbucks costs more. The Digital Deluxe Edition, on the other hand, currently costs 4.99 euros on Steam.

What kind of event is Thunderstruck? Thunderstruck first appeared in FC 24 and brings powerful, dynamic cards that can improve over the coming weeks.

What else can you expect for Black Friday in Ultimate Team? Black Friday in EA FC has been a very fast-paced event in recent years, sometimes releasing new Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) hourly. Right now, you can already collect some strong packs in the first Flash-SBCs for the upcoming event days.
EA has also released a schedule for the next two days:
On Thursday, November 28, the Best-of-Campaign professionals will come into the packs. This includes the best players from all previous events:
On Friday, November 29, the well-known and popular Thunderstruck event from FC 24 will start with dynamic special cards and icons. In FC 24, this promo brought some players who were among the best in Ultimate Team for a long time.

Daily rewards, 10/30 coins packs, and strong upgrades
Daily Login Upgrade
In the menu, specifically in the SBCs, you will be rewarded for daily login. The Daily Login Upgrade gives you a gold pack worth 5,000 coins directly as a reward for completing the SBC in exchange for a bronze player.
In addition, further extra rewards are waiting for you in the objectives for each completed daily login. If you complete the daily SBC for 6 days, there will be an additional group bonus worth 100,000 coins.
10/30 Coins Packs in the Shop
In line with the daily login upgrade, there are small gold player packs in the shop every day that cost only 10 or 30 coins. You should open these almost free packs daily. With a bit of luck, you might pull one of the numerous special cards.
Strong Upgrade SBCs
Additionally, strong Upgrade SBCs are available to you. So far you can complete an 81+ double upgrade or a 83+ triple upgrade (3 times a day).
There is also a repeatable Max.-87 base Icon upgrade. Here you can trade in your best players from the remaining Upgrade SBCs and hope for a valuable Icon.
This way, you are informed about the start and contents of Black Friday for Ultimate Team in FC 25. If you take some time every day, you can come close to many, hopefully also strong players, with the rewards. In the evolutions, you can still create your own strong forward for a short time only: In EA FC 25, you can double the speed of huge forwards – but you need to hurry

With the upcoming early access launch of Path of Exile 2 ahead, the developers are currently doing their round of interviews to answer burning questions from media representatives and players. MeinMMO summarizes the most exciting insights for you.
When does Path of Exile 2 launch? The release of Path of Exile 2 in early access is set for December 6, 2024, at 8:00 PM. According to Game Director Jonathan Rogers, the game will remain in early access until at least May 2025, although the final testing phase is not expected to last beyond 2025.
Path of Exile 2 will be available on Steam, via the Epic Games Store, the in-house PC client, PS5, and Xbox. Initially, only supporters who have purchased a package for at least €30 will be allowed to play. Alternatively, you must have purchased a top-tier supporter pack at some point or invested approximately 454 euros or more in the predecessor Path of Exile over the entire game duration.
Or you may be lucky enough to obtain access for early access through a key giveaway. Once the game is officially released, it will be available for free to all interested parties. Here to set the mood is official gameplay footage from the early access version:

Fresh insights into Path of Exile 2
What have the developers revealed? The team behind the hack & slash adventure has recently participated in several interviews covering all areas of Path of Exile 2. A particularly fruitful Q&A session for the Korean audience was organized by Publisher Kakao Games (via YouTube and Reddit).
There will be several elements from Path of Exile that you will also find in Path of Exile 2. The hub Kingsmarch is expected to be one example. The currency item Mirror of Kalandra will also make a comeback.
Uniques are intended to attract players to the important endgame content and offer exciting synergies with the new skills. Some unique items from PoE1 are expected to make a comeback in an adapted form.
Players of the early access version can expect regular updates. The team will only take a break during the Christmas season.
The base of the new crafting system is intended to be simple and accessible but will expand over time – for example, through the leagues of PoE2.
As a whole team is working on the controller controls for PoE2, the action RPG should be much more controllable with the controller than its predecessor.
For the final launch, all cosmetic items from PoE1 will work in PoE2 as well. At the early access launch, there will be cosmetics for which this is not the case yet. The new cosmetics from PoE2 can be tried on in the shop before purchase.
Cosmetic items in PoE2 will also affect demon and animal forms.
The team is removing mid-season updates from PoE1 in PoE2, allowing for larger content patches to be released every three months instead.
You can experience PoE2 from the beginning alone or with up to six players. Reviving teammates will be possible, but only until the endgame.
Players who die will continue to face a penalty. Whether this will again consist of an XP loss is still unclear. What is clear is that the penalty will not be active during the campaign and in early endgame (via Reddit).
For mastering endgame bosses and maps, you will only have one attempt each time. Only the best of the best should be able to conquer the toughest content.
Many bosses will be easier to fight in melee combat, as they will use different abilities when you are at a distance.
The developers find it important that all players have the same starting conditions at the start of a league. Therefore, you will have to play through all acts again.
On the website mmorpg.org.pl, you will find a few more info nuggets from other interviews. The developers confirmed that the early access characters will not be removed at the final launch. Instead, they will transition into the permanent early access league.
The new loot filter is expected to land on the servers a few weeks after the early access launch. During the early access phase, you can also expect the two classes Druid and Huntress. The last four classes are expected to come only at launch. It is also planned that PoE2 will have a Solo-Self-Found but no Ruthless mode.

When the update 11.0.7 for World of Warcraft goes live on December 17, 2024, a rare 2-seater mount is also expected to find its way back into the MMORPG.
What kind of mount is this? According to data miners, the Blizzard officials have adjusted the source for the X-53 Touring Rocket, which can seat up to two players. It was originally a reward for the “Refer a Friend” program of World of Warcraft.
The program works like this: Every time one of your recruited friends adds game time to their account, you earn progress towards a new reward. The more friends you recruit, the easier it becomes to collect all the goodies.
Current incentives include the mount Rocket Shredder 9001 (via worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com) for 6 completed monthly subscriptions. You haven’t been able to obtain the X-53 Touring Rocket this way for quite some time.
Currently, WoW is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a big party:

Touring Rocket racing to the trading post
What is the new source for the rocket? As reported by icy-veins.com, the X-53 Touring Rocket is expected to be available at the trading post sometime after the release of 11.0.7 and will cost 100 trader currencies – you probably have to wait until February 2025.
Why February 2025? Well, the X-53 Touring Rocket was available for a few weeks at the trading post in February 2024. This month is particularly special because WoW was released in Europe in February 2005. Given the current celebrations for the 20th anniversary of the MMORPG, this gains even more significance.
Every member of the Straw Hat Pirates from One Piece has their own iconic appearance. However, some characters almost received a completely different look.
Attention, Spoiler: If you are still before the Sabaody Archipelago in One Piece, this article may contain a spoiler regarding the story for you.
How would they have looked? In One Piece there is a time span of 2 years during which the Straw Hat crew is separated and is hardly seen in the anime. During this time, not only do Ruffy’s crew members undergo some internal changes but also external ones.
In sketches by Eiichiro Oda, the mangaka of One Piece, several ideas can be seen regarding how the Straw Hats might have looked. Among them are ideas that would have given the members a somewhat different appearance:
For each member of the Straw Hat crew, there are several ideas that Oda had in mind. But ultimately, he decided to give the male members a beard in some cases and the female members hair extensions.
You can watch the trailer for One Piece Stampede here:
Start video
Anime: The Movie Trailer for One Piece Stampede
This is how the Straw Hats would have changed
What would the differences have been? Each member of the Straw Hat crew could have looked different. For some, the differences would be more pronounced, for others, less:
As captain, Ruffy would have had little change. He might have gotten a different coat, but the rest would have remained the same.
Zorro got an eye during the time skip. The eye would have almost been covered with an eyepatch, which would have made him look even more like a pirate. Alternatively, he could have had different hairstyles.
For Nami, Oda experimented with various hairstyles and hair lengths. In one concept drawing, she would have even gotten a hair accessory or a pilot’s goggles.
Much would have changed on Lysop’s head: Options included a crown, a wide-brimmed hat, a punk hairstyle, and an oversized cap.
Chopper’s hat could also have changed. A knight’s helmet would also have been conceivable.
Sanji’s suggestions all look similar. At times he would have had glasses, wavy hair, or a cap.
Oda also experimented with hairstyles for Nico Robin. Here, there were extreme short hairstyles or long hairstyles with head coverings.
Finally, there’s Franky, who can visually change within seconds anyway due to his robot body.
What do fans say about it? The sketches appeared in a fan forum for One Piece. Many find the sketches beautiful, especially Ruffy in the captain’s coat has charmed many. They praise Oda for putting so much thought into the appearance of the Straw Hats.
One user is also glad that some of the designs did not make it. He writes that he is happy with Sanji’s short hairstyle. He wouldn’t have liked it if the ship’s cook had long hair. Nico Robin’s short hairstyle is also controversial. Another user also states that Oda hardly put any effort into Chopper and Lysop.
For a sternTV report, the Twitch streamer Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris visited a primary school in Spandau and spoke out against bullying and mobile phone use in schools.
What does MontanaBlack warn against? The Twitch streamer considers the use of the internet by children to be dangerous. He stated in the sternTV interview (via YouTube): “There are many things on the internet that children should not see yet.”
MontanaBlack has been part of the Twitch scene for a long time. In our video, you can watch his first upload:

MontanaBlack, the internet star who warns about the internet
What does MontanaBlack recommend? MontanaBlack advises against allowing very young children unrestricted access to the internet. Children can own a mobile phone as part of a reward system if, according to MontanaBlack, they achieve good grades in school.
For him, it is clear that young children, aged 8 to 11 years, should only have a heavily monitored access to a smartphone.
This is his stance on a mobile phone ban in schools: MontanaBlack is especially critical of mobile phone use in schools. He believes that if a school has a violence problem, mobile phones pose an additional risk.
The worst thing that can happen to a 7-, 8-, 9-, 10-, or 11-year-old, or beyond, is to be bullied at school (…), that a video of it circulates on the internet, which will then be forever on the internet, because you can’t delete that. Just from that perspective, I think mobile phones should be banned in schools where children are still present.
Children should also focus on learning at school in the mornings rather than using their mobile phones.

How did the interview come about? In May 2024, a sternTV report was first filmed about the conflict mediator Damir Memic at the Christian-Morgenstern primary school. MontanaBlack reacted to the report in his Twitch stream and was impressed by Damir.
His reaction made waves, and MontanaBlack was able to visit the school mediator as part of another sternTV report. The interview was filmed afterward as well.
In the current Bisaflor event at Pokémon TCG Pocket, exclusive promo cards can be won again. A player reveals what trick he uses to get as many boosters as possible.
His trick: deliberately lose in the two lower difficulty levels, but complete all missions. Win the duel only after you have completed all missions. These include missions like “Put the opposing Pokémon to sleep.”
Once you have completed all challenges, you can then win the next match. You apply the trick for the “Beginner” and “Advanced” difficulty levels. However, at the “Pro” and “Master” difficulty levels, one of the challenges is that you must win a certain number of matches. So you cannot use the trick here.
You can find the trailer for Pokémon TCG Pocket here:
Start video
Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket: The Trailer for the Mobile Game
Use this trick for maximum number of boosters
What does this bring? With the trick, you get the maximum number of boosters. In the lower difficulty levels, the chance of getting a booster is only 51-64%. At the highest difficulty level, you are guaranteed to receive a pack if you win.
However, there is a condition: once you win a match, one precious event stamina point is deducted from you, which is only replenished after 12 hours. So you cannot get boosters as often as you like.
If you lose a match at the lower difficulty levels, you will not lose any event stamina. Therefore, you should be as frugal as possible with your event stamina while still mastering the challenges, which in turn provide their own rewards.
The more boosters you receive, the more Bisaflor cards you can also score. You can either save these for the future and use them for trading or exchange them for flair to get special effects on that card.
What does the community say about this? In the comments under the Reddit thread, many users are excited about the trick. They write:
Cambwin: “Good idea, I did this at the Lapras event too. Luckily, I did it because I literally spent every possible stamina point and just barely got 3 Lapras EX.”
KnightofSpamelot: “Good tip! I hadn’t thought of that, very much appreciated.”
CracklingKraken: “My brain used self-destruct. It’s super effective! But seriously, this is a really good tip.”

In the new Fatal Raid of Final Fantasy XIV, ambitious progression guilds fought for the first boss kills worldwide. However, the fastest community did not incite cheers with their “World First,” but rather a mocking meme fest. Producer Naoki Yoshida will not be pleased…
What makes the Fatal Raids special? Similar to the mythic difficulty level of the raids in World of Warcraft, the Fatal Raids represent the most challenging challenges in Final Fantasy XIV. The bosses require so much training, coordination, and skill that the most ambitious guilds take days to race for the world’s first kills.
A Fatal Raid like this opened its doors this week with “A Second Future (fatal)” from Patch 7.11. Just like Blizzard, Square Enix does not turn it into an official competition. So, the community of Eorzea gets involved, in the form of echoesports.gg and mogtalk.org, which have accompanied the World First Race.
The trailer for the latest content update of Final Fantasy XIV:

One pixel to enslave them, to find them all
Who won? After two and a half days of progress, the Japanese guild GRIND reached the finish line first (via X). However, the joy over the World First kill did not last long. Although the guild did not stream their runs publicly, screenshots quickly circulated showing a red pixel that was not supposed to be there.
A few hours later, an official from FrostyMog confirmed that at least one player from GRIND is said to have used a tool to gain an advantage in the fight (via X). Unlike in WoW, third-party add-ons are not allowed in FFXIV.
Nevertheless, there are such modifications to, for example, display the exact hitbox of a character and thus avoid area spells with pixel precision. Due to the disqualification of GRIND, the second-placed guild Kindred from the NA region can now call themselves the winners. The Japanese players from Lucrezia managed to get the kill just a few minutes after Kindred.
How does the community react? With mockery and memes. Reddit is currently full of such posts:

Rasz_13 draws the comparison to WoW (via Reddit): “WoW Raiders: I cannot exist without add-ons; they are literally my blood, my flesh, my spirit. / FFXIV Raiders: I once saw someone using an add-on. He was skinned alive in the marketplace after being mocked for hours.”
Has this happened before? It is indeed not the first time that a World First kill winner from Final Fantasy XIV had to be disqualified due to the use of unauthorized tools. Something similar happened in the Ultimate Raid “The Omega Protocol” in January 2023.
Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida explained afterward that he was personally extremely disappointed with the cheaters. He certainly does not like the recent scandal at all. However, the developers do not want to implement an official anti-cheat program at this time.

The skin itself is a skier wearing a black and white ski suit. She has a pink belt, a pink backpack, pink ski goggles, and a neon green ski helmet with cat ears. Even her hair is – you guessed it – pink, with a blue transition.
Even the white part of the ski suit shines so brightly that it probably stands out from a rocky or wooded area from a great distance. The community is divided on what to think about the skin.

The skin is suitable for blind players, but not anime enough
How is it received? In the same Reddit thread, many players are discussing the appearance of the skin. The thread creator thanks all players who equip this skin. He himself is blind as a bat and can better spot opponents wearing the skin.
For user AnimeGokuSolos, the name alone hints that the skin might be something for him. However, he admits that the skin is not “anime enough” for him. The anime girl on the weapons and the cat ears on the ski helmet are probably not enough for him.
Others, however, find the skin great but would like it for a different operator. User Lobisa, on the other hand, is satisfied: He would die 1,000 deaths just to look this cute.
What else is in the bundle? In addition to the skin, the following items are included in the pack:
Goblin MK2 Blueprint: Polar Rip
Compact 92 Blueprint: Halfpipe Handler
Finishing Move: Ice Breaker
Charm: Mug O’ Good Vibes
Spray: Polar Shred
Consumable: Double XP Token
If you want to buy the complete package, you need to spend 2,000 COD Points. The price is quite fair considering that other tracer packs cost 3,000 COD Points.

What kind of offer is this? It is an open-world action RPG from CD Projekt Red, in which players fight for survival as a cyberpunk mercenary in the neon-lit city of “Night City.” Currently, the game is heavily discounted across various platforms, whether on Steam, PS5, or Xbox.
On Steam, it is the lowest recorded price so far at €26.99 until December 4th. The price is similar for consoles – for the version on Xbox it is also €26.99, and on PS5 it is €24.99 until December 2nd.
Especially for those who were deterred during the rocky launch, there is now the opportunity to test the game at a significantly lower price. And it’s worth it: the game’s reviews are very positive in 2024 (94% over the last 30 days on Steam), but that wasn’t always the case.

What was happening at release? During the release year 2020, Cyberpunk suffered from numerous technical issues that not only disrupted the flow but, in many cases, completely ruined the game.
Particularly on older consoles, it was considered unplayable. The game could not meet the promised expectations due to the many bugs and glitches, which led players to react with frustration and anger. A disappointing result for a AAA studio.
Through the necessary reflection and ongoing work, CD Projekt Red has finally been able to present the Cyberpunk they teased over 10 years ago. And the story seems far from over.
