Massively’s The Daily Grind: What MMO should Daybreak buy next?
Here is another prompt that I took from Massively OP. My first thought was: Rift! Please, please buy Rift! Gamigo is keeping the lights on, but that’s it. And even if I wanted to still play the game, I do not have any trust in gamigo whatsoever. At some point, I tried to stay informed…

Call to Action: Rift is getting updates again?
I dared ask the question with the word “updates” – yes, plural! About a month ago, gamigo was teasing about Rift possibly getting something new. They said that in Q1 2022 we would be getting a “first great update”. Quite obviously, this does not mean “expansion” and nobody should interpret it as Rift getting one…

Most disappointing games in 2021
Altogether, I would say that there weren’t many disappointments this year. One huge one, though, followed by two minor ones. My number 1 spot goes to Atlas Rogues. This game went into Early Access and I get that there is the risk that the developers run out of money before finishing the game. But this…

What to do with gamigo…
I totally missed this piece of news from the latest investor report about gamigo’s plans for their games in 2022. Massively reported about it in November (other outlets, too, but this is where I found the news now): Rift is supposed to be getting “a first great update […] in Q1 2022”. On the one…

Goodbye, Atlas Rogues?
I do not have much hope left for Atlas Rogues. And even though there’s been a lot of criticism about the new take on the Atlas Reactor IP (no PvP, no simultaneous turns) and game-breaking bugs ( it IS in early access, after all), I had a lot of hope for this game. Reviews on…

Happy 10th birthday, Rift…?
Rift launched on March 1, 2011 which means that it’s currently “celebrating” its 10th anniversary! Or it should be, given it’s such a nice round number! Trion Worlds was acquired by gamigo in October 2018. So gamigo could be proud to have an MMO that is 10 years old now and still has a community…

The first days with Atlas Rogues
Atlas Rogues came into Early Access on November 18. Since then, I have played several matches with the four starting freelancers and my current conclusion is that I would not recommend this game – yet – unless you’re a former Atlas Reactor player and want the nostalgia or are used to playing Early Access games…

First glimpse on Atlas Rogues’ gameplay
On Friday, Gamigo had their first livestream showing the new Atlas Rogues game. If you remember the Trion Friday livestreams, then this is exactly what it was like! They also said that they may have more livestreams on Fridays in the future. But now, about the game. When I had heard that there would not…

Atlas Reactor Revival… of sorts?
I just saw the news on Massively and squealed when I read the article: “The so-called Alliance project uses the same gameplay of Atlas Reactor but in a narrative-focused four-player co-op title (…)” I loved Atlas Reactor, but I only set foot into the PvP part of the game (which actually was… the game!) for…

Gamigo’s goodies for Rift, Trove and maybe Defiance 2050
Gamigo is telling you to tell your friends to play their games with them. Perfect for social distancing (which should still be called physical distancing to properly reflect what it is, but eh, it’s close enough). On their website, they list their games and each one gives you a code (a generic one) that they…

Upcoming Rift server merges
In case you are not actively following the Rift forums, you may have missed their announcement back in December that server merges were upcoming. They also reassured us that: “The only impact to players will be collisions with player/guild names”. At that point, we didn’t hear much else until May 10 when they told us…

Looking for a new MMO-home
We still have not heard anything from gamigo and their plans with the games they acquired from Trion. Of course, all of this doesn’t necessarily mean that Rift will be closed or that much will be changed for Rift as it is now. But I’m still not feeling too confident and decided to look for…

Paeroka’s Ponderings: Goodbye, Rift?
As some of you know, I love Trion Worlds and the games they have created – well, most of them, at least. I have not always agreed with their decisions, but I don’t expect to do so. They are in it to earn money, after all (employees want that to afford a roof above their…

Otherland MMO – First Impressions
Bookahnerk had told me about Otherland long before the MMO was in the news as Otherland is one of his favourite books and Tad Williams is one of his favourite authors! This is the main reason this game even caught my attention. We had both watched the gamescom trailer and really liked what we saw…
