23 year old MMORPG series gets a new part, the first trailer immediately splits the community

It is time for our Meinmmo format “MMORPG news in two minutes”. We summarize the most important reports about the best genre of the world. Look forward to Ragnarok Online 3, Server Merges for Throne and Liberty, several set games and large Twitch dramas.

The highlights of the week:

What else happened? Runescape’s developers had sent a survey behind the closed door to selected members from the community. When the questions and topics came to the public, a shitstorm broke out, players terminated their subscription. The developers rowed back, but the video of a great gaming youroutuber shows how deep the disappointment is.

Runescape and Old School Runescape are among the most successful MMORPGs of the last decades.

This happened with the large MMORPGs:

  • A magic in the World of Warcraft plunderstorm ensures unsightly matches. Blizzard directs and brings massive nerfs.
  • The WoW reporting tool also causes anger: a player wanted to farm, but was scared by the competition-a system by Blizzard makes it possible.
  • After 7 years we finally know what Sargeras actually targeted at the end of WoW: Legion.
  • Many players from WoW would like to play the most unpopular class, but one thing prevents it from: the restrictions for transmogging or the humanoid form. Also problematic: 88 % of wow professionals play the same tank.
  • WoW player Ibelin’s heart-ranging story has received a new, sad chapter.
  • Curious: At the World Cup in Excel, the participants had to manage a raid. Players also found that Blizzard recycled some of other mounts for the design of the 78 euro, gold -decorated dealer brutosaurus.
  • The new patch 7.16 by Final Fantasy XIV was released on January 21, 2025 and brings with it some innovations and adjustments. An apparently tiny change could ensure tons of wips in the new chaos Allianzraid.
  • The next letter from the producer for FFXIV will be released on February 7, 2025. There will be about the innovations of Patch 7.2 (via final Fantasyxiv.com).
  • In the January edition of “Tico Talks” there was the announcement, later the concrete details followed: Server Merge will come for Throne and Liberty in February 2025-you have to know. In addition, one wants to fight the toxicity in dungeons, improve combat experience and take the frustration from open-world content.
  • The season of the conquerors started for New World Aeternum. Instead of enjoying the new level experience, the big focus on the PvP kills the fun of many heroes.
  • How long does it take to master all in-game successes and all Steam axisVements in New World? A player with a lot of time has now done that.
  • “Frosty fate” – that is the name of the new update, which was published on January 22, 2025 for the MMORPG Lost Ark. Also at the start: a new raid and the anniversary party for the third birthday.
  • The Elder Scrolls online forgives rewards from 10 years of the MMORPG, but you have to do a lot for it. In addition, the new campaign of the golden project started on January 21, 2025 (via EldersCrollsonline.com).
  • From January 28 to February 18, 2025, the Lunar-New Year event is to be celebrated in Guild Wars 2 (via X).
  • This happened with the small MMORPGs:

  • A website has published exciting statistics from 2024 for Tibia. MeinMMO summarizes the highlights from the German MMORPG. The highlight: a player was able to sell his character for the equivalent of around 41,000 euros.
  • The Mortal Online 2 developers published a first roadmap for 2025 on Mortalonline2.com.
  • The 64-bit server Cormyr of Dungeons & Dragons Online is no longer subject to a fee for a certain time (via ddo.com).
  • For Star Wars: The Old Republic, Update 7.6d has brought all sorts of little improvements – the Patch Notes can be found on SWTOR.com.
  • The new chapter Day of Reckoning from DC Universe Online is scheduled to be released on January 28, 2025 (via YouTube).
  • The developers of Albion Online presented the planned innovations for season 26, on Albiononline.com.
  • For Ultima Online there was a Roadmap 2025, which also dealt with the new Legacy servers (via uo.com).
  • On February 11, 2025, the 33rd season of Star Trek online starts with Unveiled. Also at the start: actor Jonathan del Arco as Borg Hugh. The console launch is scheduled to follow on March 11th. You can find all the details on Playstartrekonline.com.
  • The year of snake will be celebrated in Tarisland from January 24, 2025, with events and rewards. You can find all information on Tarisglobal.com.
  • This happened in development at the MMORPGs:

  • Due to high losses in the past financial year, the Chinese publisher Perfect World Games has announced hard austerity measures. The setting includes several game projects, including the MMORPG Perfect New World.
  • Blue Protocol was supposed to celebrate its global launch in 2024, but it never happened. This week, the Japanese servers of the anime MMORPG went off the net forever. Many players accompanied the end until the last moment.
  • NCSOFT secretly hired the work on several games, but it is probably not the Horizon MMO.
  • According to a former lead of Unchained Entertainment, almost half of the developers who had worked on the MMORPG Camelot Unchained are said to have been released. What this means for the completion of the MMORPG is unclear.
  • On January 24, 2025, The Quinfall started in the early access (via Steam). The ambitions are large, but the last test did not leave a too good impression.
  • With the second part of the Market Square update, Pax dei received the Grace resource and other innovations. The patch notes can be found on Playpaxdei.com.
  • The developers of Eternal Tombs have released a short video on YouTube to show the progress from 2024 and promise great for 2025.
  • For Ragnarok Online 3 there was a trailer and confirmation that a global launch is planned (via mmorpg.org.PL). You can reach the official website via Ro3global.com. In the comments under the trailer, fans are already scolding possible Pay2win and Gacha systems. Others think that this could be a worthy successor to RO. What do you all mean?
