People surprised at Elyon not doing well when they've literally blocked the countries who most want to play it from actually playing it. Lmao.

You really should consider adding timestamps to MMORPG news videos at least. Also i can't wait to be able to play Lost Ark, been waiting so long. :>

I'm crossing my fingers and toes for Blue Protocol to be as robust as New World. There are so many things to do in New World outside of combat that I would love to delve into. But I can't get around the western art style and lore setting. And hearing that the game isn't being properly maintained intimidates me more.

I'm now saving some money to buy a PC just for Blue Protocol. Wish me luck guys.

Elyon EU just added a third server after the second one is chockers as well now. The open world PVP is mad, like ol skool Archeage vibes.

Elyon: I think we have enough players.
Elyon: Let's ban BR IPs

What game is the gameplay showing at the beginning starting at 0:15?

[ExiledTraitor]

Raiderz was that one game that changed the world for you based on the story progression. The town would be on fire if you got to that part of the story which was a bit unique. It was a solid game years ago.

Another episode of my favorite news cast

The browser mmo "Mad world" launches another alpha test on:
Oct 25th 1:30 ~ Oct 31st 9:00(GMT)
As far as I know it's an open alpha for everyone to join

[ModeKaioken]

Honestly the always on pvp hurts elyon. Its super unfriendly to anyone joining after launch headstart. Its just feeding new people to gankers. Like I play BDO and its more friendly then this with open world pvp. I like the fighting over grind spots aspect but when it is people just waiting for you to leave the starting area it kind of reminds me of the toxic flight point ganking in classic phase2. World pvp is fun when its natural and between people leveling but when you have capped people that have nothing better to do then farm noobs it creates bad play I don't blame anyone for dipping out on.

What game is on the first and last clip???

[SvnnyMoney]

what is the game being shown at the end? After the blue protocol info ?

[sir_christopher_owls]

Bless Unleashed is a decent game.

Free to play, decent story, minimalistic.

I'd prefer to have more options in combat and character creation, but it's fine as it is currently. Only the slow paced combat is something I've not get used to yet.

[AshXXMayftw]

New World severely disappoints me. I thought I would give it a try after hearing some positive buzz about it, but after recent events I'm not even sure it's worth even considering . It's a shame because I was hoping maybe this could be an MMO that would help get me back into them. Guild Wars 2 is still my most played MMO, but I like to switch it up from time to time, but nothing has really been grabbing me.

Hello, can you link the song at the end of each video please?

[ninnyhammer]

what's the name of the game before soulworker? blue protocol?

[TsunaTakahiro]

What's the song at the end of this video?

[sary]

I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to the mmorpg loong Dragonblood? I loved to play it, but now it's just gone and I can't find anything about it.

[animalmetalgeti]

Bless Unleashed has been a blast :3, thought i would be taken over by new world but the heavy combat system of BU feels just right!
