It’s time for our MeinMMO format “MMORPG News in Two Minutes”. We summarize the most important news about the best genre in the world. Look forward to new content for WoW Classic, a fresh expansion for LOTRO, lots of information about Throne and Liberty and reports on an exciting announcement.

The highlights of the week:

What else happened? NCSoft is probably in crisis. After unconfirmed reports of planned restructuring and layoffs, the major MMORPG studio this week provided a possible reason for these drastic measures: Despite the new expansion for Guild Wars 2 and Throne and Liberty, they are making losses in the millions.
