It’s time again for our MeinMMO format “MMORPG news in two minutes”. We’ll summarize the most important news about the best genre in the world. Look forward to lots of new content for World of Warcraft, tests of new servers for Lord of the Rings Online and Ultima Online, and much more.

The highlights of the week:

What else has happened? The closed beta for the new console version of New World started on July 25, 2024. The test runs until July 31 at 6:00 p.m. and takes place in two phases. From day one, participants can jump into the fray with a new character. Endgame tests are also planned from July 28.

Unfortunately, there was some trouble at the start because many European interested parties were unable to activate their invitation code for the PlayStation 5. The reason: only 20 of the more than 45 EU countries are eligible for the test. A detail that Amazon Games had not communicated sufficiently in advance.
