The Twitch streamer HoneyPuu has repeatedly expressed her desire to live in South Korea over the past years. Now she wants to make this wish a reality and is planning her emigration again. However, her community has mixed reactions to this and accuses her of tax evasion.
Who is the streamer?
Isabell “HoneyPuu” Schneider, also known as Isa, has made a name for herself in the world of live streaming.
She started her Twitch career in late 2018 with League of Legends. By early 2024, HoneyPuu was in the middle of the Minecraft hype, which made her the most-watched woman on Twitch at that time.
She is especially known for her “Just Chatting” sessions and various gaming formats.

Allegations of tax evasion: HoneyPuu responds
What allegations are we talking about? The Twitch streamer HoneyPuu, who currently lives on the island of Madeira, has repeatedly expressed her wish to move to South Korea one day. Now she wants to realize this dream and is planning her emigration again. However, this decision has met with mixed reactions from her community, with some accusing her of tax evasion.
How does she respond to the allegations? In a recently aired stream, HoneyPuu addressed these allegations. Additionally, she released a TikTok on May 27 summarizing the relevant stream excerpt.
She explained that many people think she wants to move to Korea just because there are tax advantages. She vehemently rejected this and stated that taxes in Korea are just as high as in Germany. “This statement makes no sense at all,” she emphasized.

Why does she want to emigrate? In response to a question from her chat about why she wants to emigrate to Korea, HoneyPuu replied: “Why not? Do I have to stay in Germany or why? Can’t I just live in another country because I think it’s cool?”
She further explained that she had already outlined her reasons for emigration several times, but they apparently weren’t convincing enough.
Moreover, she doesn’t even know how long she wants to stay in Korea – whether for one year, two years, or forever. “I want to stay there as long as I think it’s cool. If I don’t like it, I’ll go back after a year,” she explained. Her conclusion: “Life is meant to gather experiences and enjoy it.”
Why did she want to emigrate to Korea before? In an older TikTok clip from one of her streams recorded during a stay in Korea, HoneyPuu already talked about her long-held desire to move to Korea.
She shared that she was “extremely young” when she began to inform herself about the requirements for emigration. Her dream back then was to become an English teacher in Korea. However, her English skills, according to her own statement, were not sufficient, which is why she decided to become a German teacher instead.
But even that plan failed: “But I can’t do that either because somehow no one here wants to learn German, which I can understand,” she explained.

In Diablo 4, the new season has started, bringing not only new content to the game but also a fresh Battle Pass. However, players find that it somehow doesn’t fit the aesthetic of the Diablo series at all.
Season 4 in Diablo 4 started on May 14, 2024, and introduced new endgame content, which is well-received by a large part of the community. A fresh Battle Pass has also been available since the season started. The Pass allows you to earn rewards approximately every three months. There is a free and a paid path.
Even beforehand, the community often discussed the content of the Battle Pass. They were disappointed with the Battle Pass in Season 2 and called the cosmetic rewards “NPC armors.” And even now, players are complaining about the cosmetics. They feel that the gear looks as if it was intended for a completely different game.
Here you can see a trailer for Season 4 in Diablo 4:

Why does the Battle Pass confuse the players?On Reddit, the user “Throwedaway99837” posted an image from Season 4 in Diablo 4 on May 27. He asks in the post if anyone else is wondering what this graphic is about.
He elaborates on his thoughts:
This appeared recently on a loading screen and has confused me a lot. It looks like it was intended for a completely different game and does not fit the tone or aesthetic of the Diablo series at all.

The comment with the most upvotes is from “Mileena_Sai.” The user notes on Reddit that it is “terrible and doesn’t fit Diablo 4.” It is just meant to showcase the cosmetic items from the Pass.
“This is not Diablo”
What do other players say about this? Other players also seem to be confused about the design of the Battle Pass. Some write that it does not fit Diablo 4, and they miss the “darker art.” Others think the style resembles a “mobile game about elven wars” (via Reddit). One user writes on Reddit: “It reminds me of Mortal Kombat and that someone is about to receive a finisher.”
The user “Trick-Silver1652” writes on Reddit: “No joke, I played earlier and it was either this [image] or another in the same style, and for a second I thought I accidentally loaded Albion Online. Get this crap out of the game, this is not Diablo.”
The user “GrimJoshua” speculates on Reddit that the design might have been intended for another season. He writes:
“The whole pass/style is completely detached from the season. I am really confused why the Pass does not contain a hell/demon theme, given that the redesigned hell floods are at the center of attention. I can only guess that the Pass was meant to be used for another season.”
What do you think of the design of the Battle Pass and the cosmetic items? Would you have preferred a “darker” variant? Or maybe something that fits the hell floods? Feel free to leave us a comment.
With Season 4, the hell floods in Diablo 4 have been completely overhauled. They are now available at World Level 1 and are perfect for leveling and looting. Mobs spawn everywhere, giant worms spit enemies out, and your threat level fills with every monster you kill and every chest you open. The hell floods are complete chaos in Season 4 – And the players love it.

The genre of MMORPGs has fascinated and thrilled millions of players for decades. In a multi-part report, MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz examines the roots, the development, and the future of online role-playing games. Part 3 revolves around the reasons for the unique success of World of Warcraft.
In the second part of our report on the genre of MMORPGs, we explained why games like EverQuest, Dark Age of Camelot, or Ultima Online, despite some popularity, failed to catapult online role-playing games from a niche to the mainstream.
This was only achieved by World of Warcraft, which was released in North America in November 2004 and in Europe in February 2005. Below, we will explore the various reasons for the rocket-like success of WoW and the impact of this success on pop culture and Blizzard.
Although only a few years lie between MMORPGs like Dark Age of Camelot and World of Warcraft, the internet changed noticeably in that short time. Time tariffs and ISDN gave way to internet flat rates and DSL connections in more and more households by the mid-2000s.
Not a few players likely upgraded or got their first internet connection primarily to be able to play online cheaply and quickly. World of Warcraft thus came out at exactly the right time and benefited greatly from the onset of widespread broadband availability.
The Blizzard officials also proved to have good timing for another reason. With WoW, the developers set themselves the task of lowering the high entry barriers of the competition at the time, improving existing features strategically, and offering the most comfortable, rewarding, and beginner-friendly MMORPG on the market.
Thanks to WoW Classic, Hardcore, and the Classic seasons, there are now more than just one WoW version.

WoW Classic: The Hardcore Servers Are Here!
The first love in another time
The comparatively low entry threshold and the frequent success experiences were well received. For many players, World of Warcraft was the first MMORPG that could excite. It hardly mattered that WoW launched without a PvP system and with only a few endgame contents, but with plenty of bugs and technical issues.
Many players approached WoW back then without expectations, as they had never played an MMORPG before. Moreover, the internet in 2005 was still not full of guides and articles dissecting every inch of Azeroth.
A large part of the community therefore leveled their characters comfortably over months (!) and generously overlooked the initial flaws, only to eventually be surprised to find that there were challenges for high-level heroes.
This special first time was something many players naturally wanted to share with their friends, colleagues, and relatives, and as more and more people discovered the internet during this time, an increasing number of interested parties tried WoW, who in turn became part of the word-of-mouth promotion. As a result, WoW felt omnipresent at work, in schools, and in families.
WoW was the first MMORPG for many players.
The big shadow of WoW
All subsequent MMORPGs did not possess this special starting situation or only to a significantly lesser extent. On one hand, because the internet continued to develop rapidly and more and more websites went live, wanting to provide guides and tips for the next big online role-playing game.
On the other hand, all new releases from 2005 onwards stood in the great shadow of World of Warcraft, which continued to grow due to regular patches, hotfixes, and expansions. After only a few months, Blizzard offered with WoW a polished and extensive package that no MMORPG could even come close to at launch.
WoW also had another ace up its sleeve. Any player who had spent some time wandering around Azeroth, leveling, equipping, and getting attached to characters, and becoming part of a community, develops a sense of home.
Separating this connection sustainably, enticing long-term WoW fans to the servers of another MMORPG, and getting them to build a new home there is difficult. Especially when lured by less content and more technical issues.
Anyone who followed the story of Warcraft 3 with excitement encountered familiar heroes and villains in WoW.
Warcraft and the comic graphics
The enormous success of World of Warcraft is built on several pillars. Blizzard itself played an important role, combined with the popularity of the Warcraft brand. The Californians had an excellent reputation among many players due to milestones such as Diablo and Starcraft in 2004 and 2005.
The real-time strategy game Warcraft 3 (2002), together with the expansion The Frozen Throne from 2003, is also considered one of the great classics and one of the best games of all time. The chances were good that WoW could also become a great game.
Many fans were therefore eager to finally explore the exciting fantasy world of Azeroth in World of Warcraft from a third-person perspective – with all the known races, classes, spells, heroes, and villains.
One of Warcraft’s most important villains – the Lich King:
Start video
WoW Classic: Der Trailer zu Wrath of the Lich King
That WoW felt fantastic after Warcraft was also due to its colorful, timeless comic look. Although it seemed quite outdated in 2005 (and has been criticized since then), it also created a cohesive world that ran smoothly on older computers – which also positively affected the widespread proliferation of WoW.
Due to the constant updates of the graphic engine, World of Warcraft today looks even more detailed and modern than many other MMORPGs that are younger.
The cash cow of Blizzard
While not all improvements and new content that have landed on the servers over the years were well received by the WoW community, the Blizzard developers often demonstrated the right instinct to attract consistently more than ten million subscribers to Azeroth between the fourth quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2012.
Blizzard reached a financial peak in 2010, with more than twelve million players worldwide transferring around eleven to thirteen euros to California every month. Even today, nearly 20 years after launch, WoW remains one of Blizzard’s most important sources of income.
According to a presentation by the developers at GDC 2024, WoW is expected to have reached more than seven million subscribers at the start of the Discovery Season in November 2023. Many other publishers can only dream of such numbers. Moreover, we know that currently more developers than ever are working on the various versions of World of Warcraft.
This enormous financial success, however, had not only positive impacts on Blizzard. On one hand, after WoW, the developers’ focus shifted significantly towards the area of so-called service games, also because old-school projects like the Starcraft 2 trilogy, despite good sales figures, only brought in a fraction of the money that WoW did.
On the other hand, the company grew from 500 to about 4,600 employees within a few years, which is said to have noticeably changed the corporate culture at Blizzard. More about this can be found here:
WoW is not only one of the most successful games of all time, the MMORPG is also a phenomenon that has had a lasting impact on global pop culture. There is a movie, novels, tabletop role-playing games, comics, machinima fan films, and mangas.
One must not forget the short commercials in which Chuck Norris, William Shatner, and other stars promote Azeroth. Here is a sample spot with Mr. T:

WoW also found a place in essays from the army and research. For example, when the corrupted blood from Zul’Gurub wiped out the population of entire servers in September 2005, epidemiologists used this outbreak as a model for future real-world epidemics. A model that gained relevance again during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Financially incredibly successful and an integral part of pop culture: It is no wonder that many other publishers and developers would love to replicate the success of World of Warcraft with their own MMORPG. There have been many attempts since 2005. Many online role-playing games not only copied the gameplay blueprint set by WoW but also the payment model.
Why all these games failed and what the peak phase of the MMORPG genre had to offer otherwise will be covered in the next part of our report. In the meantime, you can occupy your time with the following special: The 15 currently best MMOs and MMORPGs 2024

One of the most famous anime studios is Studio Ghibli. Their latest film is The Boy and the Heron, directed and written by anime legend Hayao Miyazaki. His son particularly identifies with a scene from the film that has a sad background.
Which scene is it? The protagonist Mahito Maki moves to the countryside in the film and discovers a tower in which he lands in a magical world. The tower was built by his great-great-uncle, who is also the creator of the magical world.
At the end of the film, he asks Mahito if he wants to continue his legacy and make the other world more peaceful. However, Mahito declines, stating that he does not have a pure heart either. He flees from the magical world and returns to Tokyo.
The following trailer summarizes the plot of the anime film:
Start video
The Boy and the Heron
Why can Goro Miyazaki identify with it so much? Goro Miyazaki, the son of Hayao Miyazaki, sees himself in this scene. He was offered to take on his father’s legacy and become the head of the studio himself. But he fears this:
Actually, I do not identify with a specific character, but with a specific moment in the film. That would be one of the last scenes in “The Boy and the Heron.” (That is when a character says) “Are you ready to continue and inherit my work and worldview?” and Mahito says “No.” In that moment, I really identify with this character. Mr. Susuki, the producer, actually asks me to succeed Studio Ghibli, and my fear is also finding ways to prevent myself from becoming the successor and heir of the studio.
He added that the future of the studio is “really unclear.” We can only hope that a successor for Miyazaki can be found. At least the latest film, “The Boy and the Heron,” connects to the studio’s great successes. It received both the Golden Globe and the Oscar in 2024. Additionally, the film has now been awarded the Golden Palm at Cannes.
What is Goro Miyazaki doing instead? Actually, Hayao Miyazaki’s son is already well integrated into the studio. He is the managing director of Ghibli and has directed three films. Additionally, he is involved in the management of Ghibli Park.
So he would be the perfect candidate to continue Hayao Miyazaki’s legacy. It remains to be seen whether Goro will change his mind in the future and how the future of Studio Ghibli will look. Current film, The Boy and the Heron, is highly recommended by MeinMMO author Christoph Waldboth: The new Ghibli film is a mysterious masterpiece that no anime fan should miss

Havoc (Mid-Season): Havoc follows the rules of team deathmatch; however, killstreaks are disabled, and numerous different modifiers come into play. Shortly after the start, you will receive the first modifier, and you will get more as your team collects kills. Mods can include: low gravity, third-person mode, or permanently enhanced drone.
Headshots Only (Mid-Season): The mode is played on a small mosh pit of maps and uses the rules of team deathmatch. However, only headshots count as kills; other damage does not count. You can equip all perks, but everything must hit the head. Therefore, you don’t need to bring melee weapons at all.

JAK Volkh
Compatibility: KV Inhibitor (MW3)
A stock and housing modification that allows the weapon to fire two bursts that are very accurate.
JAK Scimitar Kit
Compatibility: FJX Horus (MW3)

What new killstreaks are there? Season 4 brings four new killstreaks to the shooter:
Intelligent Munitions Systems/ I.M.S. (7 Kills, 875 Score): Explosives take out enemy personnel and vehicles within range. When triggered, it launches an explosive upward that locks onto its target.
Loitering Munition (8 Kills, 1,000 Score): An unmanned drone armed with rockets, which upon activation selects the location with the greatest number of viable targets to bombard with rockets. Can be activated up to three times.
Missile Drone (1 Kill, 1,375 Score): A small player-controlled drone that fires guided rockets.
DNA Bomb: The massive explosion can be triggered once you have collected enough kills without dying. The bomb eliminates all players on the opposing team but does not end the match, like the “Nuke” that can be activated at 30 kills.
CoD Warzone – Mysterious bomb and new Gulag variants
What’s new in Warzone for Season 4? The battles in Urzikstan, on Rebirth Island, in Fortune’s Keep, and Vondel continue in Season 4. Although no important points seem to have changed, the discovery of a mysterious DNA bomb leaves you with little time to contain new threats.
Additionally, there will be a secondary “exit portal” that gives your teams more options for escape – if you solve the bunker puzzle. Furthermore, various Gulag silo variants create new opportunities for the 1v1 duels. The mode “Buy Back Royale Solos” returns, where the Gulag is disabled. Instead, you return to the match if you have enough money.
With the upcoming seasons, you can pass the time until the release of the new installment of the “Call of Duty” series. This year’s installment is Black Ops 6, and in recent days and weeks, leaks and rumors about the shooter have accumulated. Now Activision has released a reveal trailer showing: The shooter could become controversial.
Hyper Cranked (Season start): This is a team deathmatch variant where you need to “chain” kills together. That means: You have to gather kills as quickly as possible within a time frame before the kill timer goes back to 0. Because that will cause you to explode.
Havoc (Mid-Season): Havoc follows the rules of team deathmatch; however, killstreaks are disabled, and numerous different modifiers come into play. Shortly after the start, you will receive the first modifier, and you will get more as your team collects kills. Mods can include: low gravity, third-person mode, or permanently enhanced drone.

Demolition (Season start): The Demolition mode is similar to Search and Destroy, where teams alternately attack and defend two bomb sites. In contrast to Search and Destroy, respawns are activated here, and attacking players always spawn with a bomb. The goal is to destroy the bomb sites.
Hyper Cranked (Season start): This is a team deathmatch variant where you need to “chain” kills together. That means: You have to gather kills as quickly as possible within a time frame before the kill timer goes back to 0. Because that will cause you to explode.

What new killstreaks are there? Season 4 brings four new killstreaks to the shooter:
Intelligent Munitions Systems/ I.M.S. (7 Kills, 875 Score): Explosives take out enemy personnel and vehicles within range. When triggered, it launches an explosive upward that locks onto its target.
Loitering Munition (8 Kills, 1,000 Score): An unmanned drone armed with rockets, which upon activation selects the location with the greatest number of viable targets to bombard with rockets. Can be activated up to three times.
Missile Drone (1 Kill, 1,375 Score): A small player-controlled drone that fires guided rockets.
DNA Bomb: The massive explosion can be triggered once you have collected enough kills without dying. The bomb eliminates all players on the opposing team but does not end the match, like the “Nuke” that can be activated at 30 kills.
CoD Warzone – Mysterious bomb and new Gulag variants
What’s new in Warzone for Season 4? The battles in Urzikstan, on Rebirth Island, in Fortune’s Keep, and Vondel continue in Season 4. Although no important points seem to have changed, the discovery of a mysterious DNA bomb leaves you with little time to contain new threats.
Additionally, there will be a secondary “exit portal” that gives your teams more options for escape – if you solve the bunker puzzle. Furthermore, various Gulag silo variants create new opportunities for the 1v1 duels. The mode “Buy Back Royale Solos” returns, where the Gulag is disabled. Instead, you return to the match if you have enough money.
With the upcoming seasons, you can pass the time until the release of the new installment of the “Call of Duty” series. This year’s installment is Black Ops 6, and in recent days and weeks, leaks and rumors about the shooter have accumulated. Now Activision has released a reveal trailer showing: The shooter could become controversial.
Demolition (Season start): The Demolition mode is similar to Search and Destroy, where teams alternately attack and defend two bomb sites. In contrast to Search and Destroy, respawns are activated here, and attacking players always spawn with a bomb. The goal is to destroy the bomb sites.
Hyper Cranked (Season start): This is a team deathmatch variant where you need to “chain” kills together. That means: You have to gather kills as quickly as possible within a time frame before the kill timer goes back to 0. Because that will cause you to explode.
Havoc (Mid-Season): Havoc follows the rules of team deathmatch; however, killstreaks are disabled, and numerous different modifiers come into play. Shortly after the start, you will receive the first modifier, and you will get more as your team collects kills. Mods can include: low gravity, third-person mode, or permanently enhanced drone.
Headshots Only (Mid-Season): The mode is played on a small mosh pit of maps and uses the rules of team deathmatch. However, only headshots count as kills; other damage does not count. You can equip all perks, but everything must hit the head. Therefore, you don’t need to bring melee weapons at all.

Loitering Munition (8 Kills, 1,000 Score): An unmanned drone armed with rockets, which upon activation selects the location with the greatest number of viable targets to bombard with rockets. Can be activated up to three times.
Missile Drone (1 Kill, 1,375 Score): A small player-controlled drone that fires guided rockets.
DNA Bomb: The massive explosion can be triggered once you have collected enough kills without dying. The bomb eliminates all players on the opposing team but does not end the match, like the “Nuke” that can be activated at 30 kills.
CoD Warzone – Mysterious bomb and new Gulag variants
What’s new in Warzone for Season 4? The battles in Urzikstan, on Rebirth Island, in Fortune’s Keep, and Vondel continue in Season 4. Although no important points seem to have changed, the discovery of a mysterious DNA bomb leaves you with little time to contain new threats.
Additionally, there will be a secondary “exit portal” that gives your teams more options for escape – if you solve the bunker puzzle. Furthermore, various Gulag silo variants create new opportunities for the 1v1 duels. The mode “Buy Back Royale Solos” returns, where the Gulag is disabled. Instead, you return to the match if you have enough money.
With the upcoming seasons, you can pass the time until the release of the new installment of the “Call of Duty” series. This year’s installment is Black Ops 6, and in recent days and weeks, leaks and rumors about the shooter have accumulated. Now Activision has released a reveal trailer showing: The shooter could become controversial.
Demolition (Season start): The Demolition mode is similar to Search and Destroy, where teams alternately attack and defend two bomb sites. In contrast to Search and Destroy, respawns are activated here, and attacking players always spawn with a bomb. The goal is to destroy the bomb sites.
Hyper Cranked (Season start): This is a team deathmatch variant where you need to “chain” kills together. That means: You have to gather kills as quickly as possible within a time frame before the kill timer goes back to 0. Because that will cause you to explode.
Havoc (Mid-Season): Havoc follows the rules of team deathmatch; however, killstreaks are disabled, and numerous different modifiers come into play. Shortly after the start, you will receive the first modifier, and you will get more as your team collects kills. Mods can include: low gravity, third-person mode, or permanently enhanced drone.
Headshots Only (Mid-Season): The mode is played on a small mosh pit of maps and uses the rules of team deathmatch. However, only headshots count as kills; other damage does not count. You can equip all perks, but everything must hit the head. Therefore, you don’t need to bring melee weapons at all.

Hyper Cranked (Season start): This is a team deathmatch variant where you need to “chain” kills together. That means: You have to gather kills as quickly as possible within a time frame before the kill timer goes back to 0. Because that will cause you to explode.
Havoc (Mid-Season): Havoc follows the rules of team deathmatch; however, killstreaks are disabled, and numerous different modifiers come into play. Shortly after the start, you will receive the first modifier, and you will get more as your team collects kills. Mods can include: low gravity, third-person mode, or permanently enhanced drone.
Headshots Only (Mid-Season): The mode is played on a small mosh pit of maps and uses the rules of team deathmatch. However, only headshots count as kills; other damage does not count. You can equip all perks, but everything must hit the head. Therefore, you don’t need to bring melee weapons at all.
CoD MW3 Season 4: New weapons, aftermarket parts, and killstreaks
What new weapons does CoD MW3 Season 4 bring? A total of four new weapons will be released with Season 4. Two of them can be unlocked at launch, including the popular Kar98k. Two additional weapons will be added mid-season.
Superi 46 (submachine gun) – Comes at season start, available through battle pass sector 6
Kar98k (DMR) – Comes at season start, available through battle pass sector 5
What new aftermarket parts are there? Additionally, Season 4 will feature eight new aftermarket parts. The parts allow for unusual modifications for various weapons:
JAK Harbinger Kit
Compatibility: M4 (MW2)
The conversion kit for the M4 is an extremely deadly weapon. The slow rate of fire, the lower bullet speed, and the significantly higher recoil require a careful hand.
JAK Gunslinger
Compatibility: Basilisk handgun (MW2)
A frame and cylinder modification that allows the revolver to hold eight shots of .357 ammunition, with an extraordinary increase in rate of fire and near-instant trigger pull.
JAK Volkh
Compatibility: KV Inhibitor (MW3)
A stock and housing modification that allows the weapon to fire two bursts that are very accurate.
JAK Scimitar Kit
Compatibility: FJX Horus (MW3)
Improves range and recoil of the SMG and unlocks a larger magazine.
JAK Thumper-656
Compatibility: RGL-80 (MW3)
An improved long barrel for the grenade launcher. Fires rounds with higher velocity and over greater distances.
JAK Requiem
Compatibility: Kastov 762 (MW2)
A balanced system that completely eliminates vertical recoil.
JAK Decimator
Compatibility: Lachmann Shroud (MW2)
This modification allows the Lachmann Shroud to shoot in full automatic mode.
JAK Intimidator
Compatibility: Renetti handgun (MW3)
Transforms the Renetti into a single-shot weapon, allowing for more precise shots.
What new killstreaks are there? Season 4 brings four new killstreaks to the shooter:
Intelligent Munitions Systems/ I.M.S. (7 Kills, 875 Score): Explosives take out enemy personnel and vehicles within range. When triggered, it launches an explosive upward that locks onto its target.
Loitering Munition (8 Kills, 1,000 Score): An unmanned drone armed with rockets, which upon activation selects the location with the greatest number of viable targets to bombard with rockets. Can be activated up to three times.
Missile Drone (1 Kill, 1,375 Score): A small player-controlled drone that fires guided rockets.
DNA Bomb: The massive explosion can be triggered once you have collected enough kills without dying. The bomb eliminates all players on the opposing team but does not end the match, like the “Nuke” that can be activated at 30 kills.
CoD Warzone – Mysterious bomb and new Gulag variants
What’s new in Warzone for Season 4? The battles in Urzikstan, on Rebirth Island, in Fortune’s Keep, and Vondel continue in Season 4. Although no important points seem to have changed, the discovery of a mysterious DNA bomb leaves you with little time to contain new threats.
Additionally, there will be a secondary “exit portal” that gives your teams more options for escape – if you solve the bunker puzzle. Furthermore, various Gulag silo variants create new opportunities for the 1v1 duels. The mode “Buy Back Royale Solos” returns, where the Gulag is disabled. Instead, you return to the match if you have enough money.
With the upcoming seasons, you can pass the time until the release of the new installment of the “Call of Duty” series. This year’s installment is Black Ops 6, and in recent days and weeks, leaks and rumors about the shooter have accumulated.

Streaming content creator Anissa “Anni The Duck” Baddour has published another statement to respond to serious accusations made by her ex-partner Reved and her friend Mowky. Her first statement was not well received overall, prompting her to clarify her situation once again. The 26-year-old says that she has lost all her gigs due to the public discourse, feels broken, and is withdrawing.
What did Annie publish? The Twitch streamer Anni released another statement on May 28 around 9:30 PM on X to address her situation following her first statement.
Her first statement, which appeared as a long video, was not received well. She has thought a lot about it, spoken to various therapists, and tried to reflect on herself.
You can watch what the accusations from Reved were about here:

Reved explains on Twitch how much she suffered in the relationship with Anni The Duck
Anni says: In the first statement, she wanted to explain too much
What is the statement about? At the beginning of her statement, she describes that she felt the need to provide more context regarding the accusations against her in her first statement. However, she acknowledges that some of it was insensitive.
She now realizes that a direct apology would have been better than long explanations. She should have apologized directly. She knows that now. This apology she is now issuing:
Therefore: I am truly sorry! I ask for forgiveness. I am sorry that people around me were hurt because of my behavior and statements. I am sorry that I disappointed you.
Anni The Duck
Furthermore, she explains that she has sought additional therapists in addition to her existing one and is currently engaged in daily conversations.
In doing so, she is trying to figure out, according to her statements, why she perceives things differently than the people who accused her.
Anni The Duck says: She has lost all gigs and partners for 2024
What were the consequences of her shitstorm? The entire discussion around AnniTheDuck and whether she has mistreated her cats, for instance, has, according to her statements, far-reaching consequences for her and her employees. She says in her statement:
The brutal public discourse has led to me losing my gigs as well as advertising and partly other contractual partners for the current year. This has massive impacts on my personal and professional life.
She further writes in her statement that the withdrawal of her partners resulted in her having to cancel all projects and shoots. According to her, this not only has consequences for her but also for her employees and freelancers with whom she has worked.
In this statement, she points out that seven freelancers are now left without jobs and that she is doing her best to help them find work.
How will things proceed in the future? Finally, she says in her statement that she is broken and needs time. She is physically and mentally unable to perform her job entertaining people.
As a consequence, she will pause as a content creator and does not know how things will go on. She is now working on self-reflection and wants to reorganize her life.
After her former best friend made serious allegations against AnniTheDuck, more and more people on the internet have come forward to share their experiences. Recently, another former friend spoke up, stating that she felt she had to keep herself small. However, it all started with a donation of €2.50.

With the new update 1.4.1 Build #54053 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, the costs are significantly adjusted downwards. The patch went live on May 28 at 8:00 PM German time, and the download is about 500 MB. You can find the complete patch notes on page 2 of the article.

Diablo 4 adjusts gold costs for Masterworking
The changes regarding costs in detail:
Ranks 1-4: Unchanged.
Rank 5: reduced from 450,000 to 400,000
Rank 8: reduced from 1,000,000 to 800,000
Rank 12: reduced from 10,000,000 to 2,500,000
Especially at the highest rank 12, the gold costs have been reduced to a quarter of the original costs. The developers state as an explanation for the changes:
We want the main focus of Masterworking to be on acquiring materials rather than the necessity of gold. We want to avoid the possibility of having the materials available, but needing to take extra time to collect the gold.
Johan Pilestedt, the Game Director of Helldivers 2 and former CEO of Arrowhead, shared some interesting theses at the “Nordic Game” conference in Sweden, which are likely to upset the competition.
What did the Game Director of Helldivers 2 say? You might like this! Johan Pilestedt started his presentation with the words: “Live service is a good thing for the gaming industry – when done right.” He then made it clear that, in his opinion, a large part of the games industry is not doing it right at the moment.
“If you want to create a live service game, if you want to monetize the game, if you think people will buy something in the game… then you shouldn’t ask for $70 upfront and then rip people off for skins. That’s just wrong,” according to Pilestedt.
Furthermore, the lead developer explains: “Be nice to the users and do live service right by asking what the value for the players in this game is and that it is a live service and not what is good for the bank account.”

Who is Johan Pilestedt criticizing with his statements? Essentially all service games that also charge money for cosmetic skins on top of the full price. This includes various offshoots of the “Call of Duty” franchise from Activision, as well as the Battlefield series from Electronic Arts.
In February, Blizzard shot the greedy goat with Diablo 4, when they wanted nearly 30 euros for portal colors. In Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, on the other hand, you can buy Luthor Coins for real money to secure cosmetic content from the shop.
Successful without greed, it is possible
Is Johan Pilestedt doing it better? Helldivers 2 has been one of the few positive examples since its release in February 2024, showing that a service model can indeed be valuable for the gaming experience.
The story in Helldivers 2 evolves organically, guided by the general commands of the developers who constantly interact with the community, sometimes even laying false trails or pulling surprises out of their sleeves.
The monetization of the third-person shooter is unusually fair. Besides the moderate purchase price of 40 euros, you can indeed sink more money into Helldivers 2 – for example, in the premium battle pass.
Who would have thought that frogs would dominate the headlines surrounding Remix: Mists of Pandaria from World of Warcraft? We are unraveling the drama for you and telling you how the community reacted to Blizzard’s measures.
What is WoW Remix? Currently, in World of Warcraft, the nostalgia event Remix: Mists of Pandaria is taking place, sending all Azeroth heroes on a nostalgic experience point hunt to Pandaria. As part of the trip, participants can create a level 10 character, level it to 70, and find items that can be upgraded and improved with gems.
What’s the deal with the frog farmers? Some players discovered methods to farm bronze exceptionally efficiently. This resource is needed for upgrading equipment, but also for unlocking mounts, transmog templates, and toys.
One of the methods relies on the hyperspawn of frogs on the Timeless Isle. The amphibians appeared there so quickly after another frog died that one could kill an extreme number of frogs in a short time and thus obtain a correspondingly large amount of loot.

What was the problem?
Some players were able to earn so much bronze (and the also important “Lesser Charms”) this way that they transformed into quasi-demigods with their upgraded gear, even being able to solo raid bosses.
Blizzard responded with a hotfix to make frog farming less efficient.
Numerous players complained because the extreme frog farmers were already very powerful and they themselves had missed the opportunity to ascend to demigod status.
Blizzard responded again and is trying to turn back time: The upgradeable capes of the extreme frog farmers were nerfed to a level that normally engaged players could have reached. Additionally, all characters will have the opportunity to earn a total of 40,000 bronze through three new quests.
And how is the community reacting to this solution? Very few players seem satisfied under the official post by community manager Kaivax. Some complain that Blizzard is going exactly the wrong way.
Seínaru writes: “Why can’t you just reduce the costs for upgrades by 90 percent and then double the rewards for everyone who isn’t labeled as a frog farmer? You make it in an overly convoluted and chaotic manner that ultimately doesn’t contribute to improving the key problem areas […].”
Mailborn would have also preferred a different form of compensation: “The prices are still too high. I will literally use up this 40k bronze gift in five minutes.”
Dreknight points out another problem: “This sounds great on paper, but the reality is that the cape is quite irrelevant. […] Rolling back the cape has only a very minor effect when the stats on the cape are only half that of a maximized chest piece.”
In other words: The frog farmers are still overwhelmingly strong after the hotfix. Non-frog farmers continue to feel disadvantaged.
The genre of MMORPGs has fascinated and thrilled millions of players for decades. In a multi-part report, MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz sheds light on the roots, development, and future of online role-playing games. Part 2 focuses on the first 3D MMORPGs.
After the first part of the multi-part MeinMMO report on the genre of online role-playing games focused on the pioneers of the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, we are now entering the era of the first MMORPGs with 3D graphics.
Which games paved the way for today’s genre kings? Why was there no major hit before 2004 that could elevate the genre from niche to mainstream?
When Meridian 59 was released in 1996, an exciting phase began for all fans of online adventures. The still-playable classic catapulted the genre of MMORPGs into the 3D age, although moving objects were still represented in 2D. A few hundred players could fit into each version of the game world.
The gameplay focus initially centered primarily on PvP duels. Virtual death was severely punished – through the loss of maximum hit points as well as all belongings, which could be looted by other players.
The publisher 3DO referred to the game at the time as MMPRPG, or a “Massively Multi-Player Role-Playing Game” – without the “Online”. The standard term “Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game” (MMORPG) was only coined a year later by Richard Garriott.
Ultima Online is one of the major milestones of the MMORPG genre:

Ultima Online: New Legacy Announcement Trailer
One classic chases the next
The same Garriott, who became known as “Lord British” through his Ultima role-playing series, had his own MMORPG candidate in Ultima Online. From 1996 onwards, various other online RPGs appeared, in all shapes and colors.
While Ultima Online relied on an isometric 3D view and a subscription model, games like Tibia (1997) used 2D graphics and a free-to-play access. Besides the popular fantasy theme, developers increasingly turned to alternative settings like science fiction (Terra, 1996) or horror (Dark Eden, 1997).
Notable footprints in gameplay were left by not only Ultima Online but especially by EverQuest (1999), Runescape (2001), and Dark Age of Camelot (2001). DAoC especially impressed with its three-front war between the realms of Albion, Hibernia, and Midgard.
Dark Age of Camelot comes from Mythic, who later also produced Warhammer Online.
Runescape, on the other hand, attracted countless players with its low barriers (browser game plus freemium model) and even managed to set some entries in the Guinness Book of Records – such as for the most registered players (over 254 million) in 2017 (via Guinness World Records).
In “the first EverQuest,” the overall package of a huge game world, 14 classes, twelve races (plus their alignments, divided into good, neutral, and evil), countless special abilities (such as mastering the Troll language), guilds, and much more excited players.
By the way, there was almost a lawsuit because the EverQuest developers were heavily inspired by a text-based multi-user dungeon representative named DikuMUD (from 1991).
So much so that at times even the accusation was made that parts of the code for EverQuest had been copied. On the official website of DikuMUD, there is still a final statement about it today:
“The DIKU group is proud that the ‘DIKU feeling’ has found its way into such an entertaining and award-winning game as EverQuest.”
With the start of the 3D era of MMORPGs in the West, the first significant online role-playing game also emerged in Asia. Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds became the first million-seller of the genre in 1996 despite its 2D graphics.
Two years later, Lineage – also in 2D – followed with an even greater success, bringing in billions of US dollars in revenues for NCSoft, along with direct successors (Lineage 2 was already released in 2003, using a 3D engine), mobile spin-offs, and modernized clients.
Other Asian milestones of that time include Phantasy Star Online (2000) – which was developed not for PC, but for the Dreamcast – as well as Final Fantasy XI (2002), Maple Story (2003), and Fantasy Westward Journey (2004, which is among the most successful online games of all time in China).
The great fascination of 3D MMORPGs
Entering an online role-playing game for the first time during this pioneering period must have been an unforgettable experience for any player. After all, you were in a often huge, persistent online world. Moreover, the understanding of multiplayer took on a new dimension.
You could encounter other players everywhere to team up, fight, or just chat (MMORPG chats were practically the precursors to today’s social networks). In what other games of that time was that possible?
Even open worlds were not yet a PR buzzword that could be slapped onto almost every genre. Even single-player role-playing games with 3D engines and a large open world were something special (and often randomly generated, as in Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall).
MMORPGs radiated even more fascination once stable communities formed on the servers, where guilds, as well as individual players, could make a name for themselves. Veterans of Dark Age of Camelot would probably now rave about nighttime telephone chains that successfully fended off attacks from the enemy faction.
If such a community of like-minded individuals stays together long enough, friendships and even lifelong relationships can form, accompanied by beautiful memories of guild meetings, challenges overcome together, or special in-game events like competitions, weddings, or role-playing actions.
The social interplay forms the foundation for the fascination of MMORPGs.
Lack of internet expansion prevented the bloom of MMORPGs
In this first generation of 3D MMORPGs, there were already some titles that achieved strong sales and subscription numbers. EverQuest reportedly sold three million units by the end of 2004 and reached a peak of 550,000 paying subscribers.
Nevertheless, the genre had not yet reached the mass market broadly up to that point. This had mainly two reasons:
Anyone wanting to experience an MMORPG needed a home PC with sufficient performance and internet – an expensive hobby.
The online role-playing games from the 1990s and early 2000s often offered high entry barriers, little comfort, and potentially frustrating penalties (such as for character death).
For context: According to the State Media Center, in 1997, only 6.5 percent of Germans aged 14 and over regularly used any online services. No wonder. There was neither Facebook nor Twitter or TikTok, nor an internet flat rate.
Every online minute inflated the monthly telephone bill. It was no fun using a slow telephone modem back then (DSL or even fiber optic were still pure fiction). The subscription fee was charged on top of various MMORPGs.
These conditions only changed comprehensively in the mid-2000s, from which one game could benefit immensely. But that will be addressed in the third part of our report. Until then, you can pass the time with the following special: The 15 currently best MMOs and MMORPGs 2024

Bungie invited MeinMMO editor Dariusz to play the upcoming expansion of Destiny 2, The Final Shape, in advance to get an impression of the upcoming content. He was allowed to test, among other things, the campaign, the new subclass, the strike, and new exotics. You can find out about his impressions here.
Bungie left a good impression on me with “The Final Shape.” However, one aspect caught my eye that hardcore Destiny players might criticize.
But let’s start at the beginning. What exactly convinced me? The short version:
The campaign – in two respects
the new subclass
fun new exotics
a legendary auto rifle that has a very special ability
Who is writing here? MeinMMO editor Dariusz is a big fan of shooters and plays them very intensively. In Destiny 2, he considers himself a casual player who occasionally gets immersed in the loot shooter for a few hours. Overall, he has gathered a few hundred hours in the loot shooter since the release of Destiny 1 and is thus far from being a true veteran. Most of the time, he plays Destiny 2 solo or in a duo, rarely participating in raids and the really tough endgame content. He enjoys the story and tests new builds recommended by the right experts. He loves to unleash in cooperative battles, but he is not a fan of the endless grind for God rolls.
The campaign surprises with the story and gameplay (spoiler-free)
The campaign of The Final Shape made a positive impression on me in two ways. On one hand, the story is worthy of concluding a saga. On the other hand, through the campaign, I was able to experience a part of Destiny that had remained hidden from me until now.
The cutscenes and dialogues illustrate how serious the situation is in the fight against the Witness. We feel that the overall situation deeply affects the characters involved. The situation is tense, and this is reflected in the actions of the individual characters. I have never delved into the lore of Destiny in detail, yet I was convinced by the atmosphere and the drama of the story.
Over the campaign looms the Witness, the mysterious entity that threatens the lives of the Guardians. Accordingly, you have to solve little puzzles throughout the campaign, as known from various raids. This turns the campaign into a kind of mini-raid.
I often play Destiny solo, and my builds don’t feature God rolls. Raids have always been something I thought I would only experience in videos. I lack both teammates and skill. The campaign of The Final Shape now allowed me to play something that feels like a light, solo-playable version of a raid.

Something like the new subclass has been missing for me in Destiny so far
With the new subclass “Prismatic,” you can combine different skills from the already existing subclasses. For example, during my playtest, I combined the Solar ultimate “Dusk Blade” and the Solar melee attack “Incinerator Snap” with the Stasis grenade “Cold Snap.”
This way, completely new combinations and builds can be designed. Of course, not all combinations are super sensible, but just experimenting is a lot of fun.
If you also don’t grind any endgame content but really just want to relax and play the campaign or run a few strikes, then you can now simply play your favorite abilities and combine them more freely than ever before.
The freedom to simply play a Stasis grenade with a Solar melee has been missing for me in Destiny so far.
The new subclass “Prismatic”
Exotics that are fun and have potential
There are exotics that are good, there are exotics that are fun, and there are exotics that fall into both categories. How good the individual exotics of The Final Shape will ultimately be, I can’t say right now. However, the exotics I played were fun for me.
On one hand, there is the new exotic helmet for the Warlock, which turns the healing grenade into a kind of turret that heals you and your allies repeatedly for a few seconds. I enjoy playing a healer in many games and find it very interesting that the helmet now provides me with a new opportunity.
On the other hand, there is of course the new armor of the Titan, which rains rockets down on your enemies. As I am a fan of Helldivers 2, I really enjoy being able to spread guided democracy in Destiny 2 as well. Additionally, the damage output of the rocket barrage seems to be really high. I didn’t measure any exact numbers, but I did see health bars melt.
There is also the new auto rifle, the Khvostov. Every seventh shot from the Khvostov ricochets off hit enemies and becomes a ricochet. This ricochet not only bounces off once but jumps between multiple enemies. For me, the weapon felt really good for both add-clearing and in PvP. Additionally, it handles like a very simple assault rifle. The shooter nerd in me is a fan.
Exotic auto rifle KhvostovExotic helmet for the Warlock
An auto rifle that is unmatched
With The Final Shape, there is a new auto rifle called “No Hesitation,” with which you can heal your teammates – and the healing is really good. I like the weapon much better than Lumina, the exotic hand cannon that can also heal.
The auto rifle heals by shooting from the hip at your teammates. You don’t need to collect any orbs or reload to heal. You just have to shoot and can empty whole magazines into your friends. Additionally, the rifle is not completely useless for fighting enemies – although there are definitely much better weapons. It helps that the bullets are directed at enemies like a smart gun in Cyberpunk 2077. Overall, I liked the feel of the MP and believe that it is a good addition to the game.
I also tested the weapon in PvP and healed a teammate with it after he won a gunfight. This way, he was able to jump right into the next fight and put pressure on the remaining enemies. I was not in a position to support him with additional firepower in that gunfight. The view of the enemy was blocked. However, I was able to see and heal him.
I had fun with The Final Shape. While I don’t believe it is a hundred percent recommendation to buy, anyone who is interested in a new Destiny expansion certainly won’t go wrong with a purchase.
However, The Final Shape gives the biggest Destiny critics new fodder, as an old criticism remains relevant: Bungie recycles content.
The most interesting new feature of the expansion, the new Prismatic Subclass, allows you to combine old, already existing abilities. I think the idea is great, but it is quite possible that some players will criticize this.
The same goes for the raid mechanics that take place in the campaign or the healing submachine gun, which is building upon the idea behind Lumina.
Conclusion: Recycling is not a bad thing
The Final Shape is a successful expansion, and although I only play Destiny 2 every few months, testing the new content has made me look forward to the release.
I believe that recycling content is not necessarily bad – provided the recycled content is well executed. Anyone who does not want to play the expansion because some of it is already familiar from previous expansions has probably just fundamentally lost interest in Destiny 2.
I also will not fall into an endless grind with The Final Shape, but for a few hours of gameplay, I’m definitely entertained by the add-on. I had fun during the playtest and am looking forward to experiencing the campaign in full and testing what cool builds are possible with the new subclass and the new exotics.
With The Final Shape, Bungie will conclude the “Light and Darkness” saga of Destiny 2 in Summer 2024. The Guardians are preparing for the final battle against the Witness, and the launch trailer confuses the players.
What does the trailer show? The launch trailer for The Final Shape shows us several video sequences from the campaign of the expansion. Ikora explains that she “doesn’t want to bury any more friends,” Cayde-6 wants to “prevent the end of everything,” and Zavala… Zavala is offered by the Witness to switch sides.
Ikora pleads with Zavala not to do “that.” She previously stated that the Witness is only showing them what he thinks are their desires and is lying to them. The trailer then becomes significantly more action-packed, with fights breaking out, and Ikora gets shot in the back. Meanwhile, Cayde and Crow are fighting side by side.
We do not find out what happens with Zavala or if he joins the Witness. However, some players already believe in a betrayal on social media.
Here you can see the launch trailer for The Final Shape:

What do fans say about the trailer? The launch trailer is very well received in the Destiny 2 community. One player even writes on YouTube: “The trailer is better than the last Star Wars movie Episode 9.”
However, many fans are also confused. What will happen to Zavala? What will happen to Ikora? Some players have already made speculations that would resemble a horror scenario:
ActuallyAquaman via Reddit: “This could be the way they write Zavala out. I wonder if he is the final boss of the campaign.”
notmyproblem23 via YouTube: “So Zavala is joining the Witness and Ikora dies?”

Call of Duty is known to be a full-price title. Only Warzone is an exception as a F2P shooter. Now, Microsoft has confirmed that the upcoming installment of the series will be free in some way for millions of players.
We are pleased to confirm that Game Pass members can play Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 from day one in the Game Pass.
Subscribers to Game Pass can then download and play the latest installment of the series essentially for free. Such an offer has not been available for CoD games until now. In the past, it was said: you pay full price, don’t buy it at all, or wait many months for a deal.
Of course, the game is not truly free since you still have to pay for the subscription. However, if you do not purchase the subscription specifically for CoD, but already own it to play titles like the new Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, ARK: Survival Ascended, or Fallout 4, then you will get Black Ops 6 without having to pay extra.
There is now also a first live-action trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6:

What will Black Ops 6 be about? There is currently not much known about that, and the new trailer does not provide many details either. The grand presentation of the shooter will take place on June 9, 2024, following the Microsoft Showcase.
However, there are some leaks about Black Ops 6 that suggest the game will take place during the Gulf War. It is even said that real military operations and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, will be included in the game.
Now Activision has released the live-action reveal trailer for Black Ops 6. This shows that the campaign of the shooter could become controversial.
Already we see a person who could be the Iraqi politician Saddam Hussein. Fans on YouTube believe they have also recognized George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Margaret Thatcher.

We do not yet know what the story of the game will look like, but it is to be assumed that the shooter may address controversial political themes. More information about Black Ops 6 is expected on June 9, 2024, when CoD will hold a presentation after the Microsoft showcase.
What’s up with Saddam Hussein? Even before the trailer was released, there were leaks claiming that the Iraqi president would feature in the campaign of Black Ops 6.
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and some real military operations are also rumored to appear in the game.
The new “War Bus” in Fortnite is quite a strong counter against other cars, as it has a unique weapon.
How important are cars in Fortnite? Currently, they are more important than ever, as with the start of the new season in Fortnite, cars have received a major upgrade.
Improvements like Nitro, service stations, powerful bumpers, special tires, but above all the grenade launchers and turrets on the roofs make cars some of the most effective weapons in the whole game. When faced without a vehicle of your own, they are hard to handle. And when you almost finish them off, they just speed away.
However, one vehicle on the island is perfect for putting an end to the speeding: the War Bus. It has a unique weapon on board that you can easily overlook.
Start video
Fortnite: Chapter 5 Season 3 – Trailer for gameplay with ruthless wasteland
How to obtain the War Bus and use EMP in Fortnite
How do you find the War Bus? The War Bus can be obtained by taking down one of the patrols that drive around the island. They usually consist of a War Bus and another vehicle, always occupied by NPCs. However, it is also possible that one of the new, strong bosses is riding along in the patrol.
What is the secret weapon? The War Bus in Fortnite has an EMP weapon on board, but not as a turret – that’s why it can be easily overlooked. The EMP burst is activated instead when you honk the bus’s horn. To do this, you must press the down arrow on the controller.
The EMP is a strong assault against cars and shields
When you honk the horn, the bus emits an EMP burst in a dome shape around it. This destroys the shields of enemies and especially disables the engines of cars. This means: Your enemies can no longer just speed away. But be careful: The EMP always has a short cooldown once you have used it.
Tip: This will also help you quickly get rid of opponents who have hopped onto your bus and, for example, taken position at the turrets. They cannot withstand the damage for long.
Important: As of now, the grenade launchers or turrets of cars do not get deactivated. So they cannot escape anymore, but your opponents can still shoot at you.
Are there more ways to defend against cars? Indeed, but it is currently still not that easy. Many players are just having to get used to the new season to find effective ways against the powerful vehicles. Some options are:
Other cars to engage offensively and ram the competition.
The Nitro gloves can launch cars into the air with an uppercut.
The impulse grenade can knock cars off course.
And simply hopping on can also cause confusion. But that only works if there is still space in the car.
What methods have you found to take on cars? Tell us in the comments and share your experiences with other players! And feel free to let us know where you currently prefer to land and have the most success.

In Destiny 2, there are many different perks for your weapons to give you advantages in battle. The community has now looked at the worst ones, and one is so bad that many think Bungie is pulling an April Fool’s joke.
What kind of perk is this? It is the perk “Invisible Hand”. On Reddit, the user spikehiyashi6 highlighted this perk and needed help understanding why Bungie even created this perk.
The perk provides your weapon with +25 stability when you miss multiple shots. After hitting a target, the stability boost disappears after 1 second. This effect can be found on seven weapons, and those unfamiliar with good rolls might think it’s not a bad deal, but this perk is one of the worst in Destiny 2.
Players are now wondering if this is an April Fool’s joke that Bungie is playing on its fans.
Start video
Destiny 2: The Final Shape – Gameplay trailer for the new talents
Players believe the perk is an inside joke by Bungie
What does the community say about it? They are not quite sure how to react on Reddit. Some joke and believe Bungie intentionally implemented the perk to help game testers who can’t aim – a sort of inside joke. Other players like MercuryTapir think Bungie is deliberately creating such bad perks to make every Guardian want the good perks.
Arborus reinforces MercuryTapir’s theory by stating: “The classic MTG design philosophy – you need a few stinkers in the pack for the good ones to stand out even more.”
To emphasize how bad the perk actually is, you need to know when “Invisible Hand” is activated. For auto rifles, you need to miss 10 shots to receive the bonus, while for hand cannons, it’s 4 shots.
Even if you are the worst shooter in the entire galaxy, no one misses that many shots to even remotely activate the perk.
What is behind such terrible perks? The Reddit user ACupOfLatte (via reddit.com) has summed it up well, saying about the topic: “Is it really a conspiracy if they do that for every other system in the game, lol? From Eververse engrams to armor stats, so many useless things to bridge the time the average player needs to get something worthwhile.”
Basically, Bungie can’t just throw the same good perks into the loot pool. They need new ones so that Guardians pull a variety of bad rolls until they finally get what they want after countless hours of grueling grinding.
Whether that is Bungie’s actual plan to keep Guardians longer until they obtain their God rolls is debatable. But anyone who knows even a little about perks and rolls knows that perks like “Invisible Hand” are simply bad and don’t provide any value – at least not in practice.
On May 25, the final test of the new MMORPG Tarisland began, which launches in China on June 19, 2024. The global release has now been announced.
When is Tarisland coming? As announced on the official website, Tarisland is set to launch worldwide on June 21, 2024. The MMORPG, often referred to as an alternative to WoW, will be available at launch for PC, Android, and iOS and will provide seamless cross-platform compatibility.
A new trailer was also released with the announcement, featuring a powerful boss. The Blight Dragon is likely just the beginning, as Tarisland aims to bring at least 60 boss fights per year.
Start video

Dual Classes, Dungeons, and Raids at Launch
What does Tarisland offer at launch? The MMORPG will have 9 classes available for players to choose from at launch. These will include classics of the genre such as Warrior, Mage, and Priest, each with unique abilities and two specializations.
At the start of Season 0, there will also be a dual class consisting of Mages and Paladins. More dual classes are set to be added gradually.
For PvP enthusiasts, there will be an arena and other PvP modes available at launch. Those who prefer PvE can look forward to five dungeons, eight boss raids for 10 players, and several PvE modes during Season 0. Each dungeon will have three difficulty levels to cater to players with different preferences.
Before the release, there will also be a series of pre-launch events, including an event for guild pre-registration.
What significance does Tarisland have? Tarisland is considered the first major MMORPG to appear since the western release of Lost Ark in February 2022. Other major hopes for the genre, such as Throne and Liberty and Blue Protocol, were supposed to launch last year but stumbled even before the international release.
However, Tarisland could also face challenges: The MMORPG was meant to act as a sort of substitute for WoW, which shut down in China in January 2023. In the meantime, there is a new deal between NetEase and Blizzard, and WoW could return to China. In the West, Tarisland is dealing with Pay2Win accusations. Nonetheless, MeinMMO author Cedric believes Tarisland has the potential to be the best new MMORPG of 2024 – if you give it a chance.

For the 10th anniversary of The Elder Scrolls Online, we had the opportunity to speak with two developer veterans from the Zenimax team about the MMORPG. It was mainly about the lore, story, and characters from Tamriel.
On April 4, 2024, The Elder Scrolls Online will officially turn ten years old. As the console launch only took place in June 2015, the anniversary party is set to last an entire year – recently, for example, you could secure a stylish oasis home just by logging in three times.
The Zenimax development team looks back on ten turbulent years:
Like almost all MMORPGs, Elder Scrolls Online also launched with some issues and unfinished aspects.
The developers not only fine-tuned the game with the first updates but also addressed fundamental issues with character progression and the endgame. An important milestone was the One Tamriel update, which introduced flexible level scaling in the open world.
The decision-makers adjusted the payment model (elimination of mandatory subscriptions) and introduced a clear update structure with DLCs, free patches, and the annual chapter.
New features like companions, glory stories, or the Endless Archives expanded the existing offerings of quests, dungeons, and the like.
With the console launch, Zenimax was able to attract many new players to Tamriel.
The Gold Road chapter of ESO will be available starting June 3, 2024:

The Lore Experts in Interview
To celebrate the anniversary, the MeinMMO editorial team had the opportunity to speak with ESO lore master Michael Zenke and narrative director Bill Slavicsek about the story and lore of the MMORPG.
Right at the beginning of the interview, they discussed the remarkable development the MMORPG has undergone over the years. Only Final Fantasy XIV and the team led by Naoki Yoshida have invested comparably (or even more) to fundamentally improve the gaming experience post-launch.
It’s fantastic to look back and see what we’ve accomplished during this time and how well the team has worked together to achieve all of that. Our method of storytelling is, I believe, a key feature […]. We are very proud of all this.

Michael Zenke adds that part of the success lies in the developers’ willingness to further develop existing systems like glory stories or companions and expand them with new content.
As for designing stories and characters, the lore master emphasizes that the relationships between NPCs and the player character noticeably change over time. In his opinion, this is rarely seen in games and even less often over a period of several years.
In the next part of the conversation, we want to know from the two lore experts how far in advance the authors work on the story of Elder Scrolls Online – does Zenimax have a concept that is comparable to what is currently happening with Blizzard and the World Soul saga of WoW?
Bill Slavicsek explains that the team is always working on content that’s set to release within the next 18 months – thus, current content focuses on 2025. Additionally, regular discussions and pitches occur about where Tamriel adventurers could go after the next 18 months (starting from 2026).
With the Daedric War, ESO already had a storyline arc that was told over several years, featuring key events in Morrowind, Clockwork City, and Summerset. Recently, in Necrom, there was a genuine cliffhanger that will be resolved with the upcoming Gold Road chapter. Michael Zenke also sees this as a major strength of the MMORPG:
The fun part that people can rely on: we never do the same thing twice. […] We’re talking about ten years; that’s a long time to tell stories. By ensuring that things happen a little differently, we keep the player experience fresh – not just for the players, but for us too.
Michael Zenke in interview with MeinMMO
The developers adhere to this principle in the upcoming chapter as well: at the end of Gold Road, there won’t be a cliffhanger. The starting point for new story pitches is the map of Tamriel: in which zones have the players not been, what stories can be told there? Or conversely: the authors have a cool story idea, where does it fit, which factions should be involved?
Although Elder Scrolls Online is an MMORPG, with a game world that must adhere to MMO rules (and which are not applicable to single-player RPGs), the lore team, according to Bill Slavicsek, has actually never discarded an idea for a story, character development, or decision-making.
The Birth of a Daedric Princess
The cliffhanger in Necrom came about thanks to Ithelia. The team was convinced that the revelation of a completely new Daedric princess was such a significant and important event for Elder Scrolls lore that they wanted to let the moment and realization sink in first. With Gold Road, they now have the time to tell a sufficiently long and exciting story around Ithelia.
To create and introduce Ithelia, discussions with the Bethesda team were necessary. They then approved the basic concept but imposed certain requirements – for example, that the authors must explain why the Daedric princess appears only now, and why she is never mentioned in future lore events.
Once the concept was approved, Zenimax’s lore team plunged into research and design for the character, aiming to create a foundation for Ithelia that aligns with other Elder Scrolls games.
There is currently no TV series in the works for Elder Scrolls. However, Fallout could set a precedent:

Full Voice Acting vs. Quest Interaction
In the last part of the interview, we wanted to know from the two Zenimax veterans how the question was discussed more than ten years ago about whether to offer fully voiced dialogues in ESO – similar to SWTOR – or not.
Michael Zenke remembers well, as he had worked on Elder Scrolls Online for seven or eight months before the decision was made to fully commit to voiced dialogues. Until then, quests were conveyed through text, as seen in the WoW quest log.
The entire writing team was excited about the upcoming switch, as it allowed for the creation of a modern MMORPG following in the footsteps of Skyrim (which had been released a few months earlier). At the same time, this switch changed a lot.
I believe that at a certain point we hired every English-speaking voice actor in the Western Hemisphere to complete the game. Once the decision was made, everyone on the team became excited because everyone saw the potential.

Bill Slavicsek adds that full voice acting has greatly improved the quality of stories in ESO. When a legend like John Cleese gives life to a character, it can only turn out well, the developer adds.
