MV Guide is a weekly rundown of the MMO gaming events planned on Massively TV.

Every week, the Massively staff logs in to play various MMOs live and in person, and we'd love for you to drop by the channel and visit. We have a combination of regular weekly games and new surprises, so you'll find a variety of titles to take a look at. During our streamed events, you can participate in the live chat, ask questions to learn about the game, and simply spend some time with Massively staff and readers. (Of course, streaming is subject to the whims of outside forces like server-side gremlins once in a while.)

Follow along after the jump to see what's on this week's schedule!

	Monday, 8:00 p.m. EST: Mike -- EVE Online It's that time again, capsuleers! Join Mike as he guides Spaceguy Rotsuda (and his new ship) through more of EVE Online's single-player content. Mike promises missiles, explosions, and pilot error, as per usual.
	Monday, 3:00 p.m. EST: Jeremy -- Atlantica Online It's time for some turn-based action. Jeremy returns to his 20-something Mage to see how Atlantica Online is holding up. Join him for a look into battles, crafting, and other game features.
	Monday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Beau -- Spirit Tales Check it out! Beau has been given permission to stream Spirit Tales, a new mega super-duper adorable Anime-inspired MMO from KoramGame, LTD for Rise and Shiny! What will he find? Will it rot his teeth out? Let's hope so.
	Tuesday, 10:00 a.m. EST: Richie -- Wakfu And now for something completely different: Richie is taking a break from Guild Wars this week to try Wakfu, a turn-based MMO that launched last week. What will he think of the unique art style, cutesy (and strange) monsters, and tactical combat? Tune in to find out!
	Tuesday, 9:00 p.m. EST: Richie -- Star Wars: The Old Republic Richie's Sith Sorcerer has recently hit level 50, and the PvP warzones have become a different beast entirely. At level 49, he was a monster, and now he's the low man on the totem pole. Check out his stream to watch Huttball, Voidstar, and Alderaan matches from a healer's perspective.
	Tuesday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Beau -- Glitch On this special Glitch Tuesday Beau will be playing Game of Crowns! What is Game of Crowns? Who the heck knows, but it seems like it is a cross between tag and potato sack racing. It's all the rage in the world of Ur right now, so let's hope Beau doesn't make a fool of himself while playing!
	Wednesday, 8:00 p.m. EST: James "Adventure Mike" -- World of Warcraft With Guild Wars' Prophecies campaign all but wrapped up, Adventure Mike has decided to move on to greener pastures. The pastures of Azeroth seem to be some of the greenest when we consider the dominion that Blizzard's behemoth has held over MMOs for the better part of the past decade. Join Mike and Shannon as they dabble in some WoW. They have a couple of young characters they've been fiddling with recently, and Mike loves to ramble about lore. Join them for a look at the world's largest MMO.
	Wednesday, 7:00 p.m. EST: Mike -- RIFT Mike's semi-powerful Mage has reached level 8 and is prepared to close rifts, drop lightning strikes, and loot mobs like crazy in this week's stream. Tune in to see some of what RIFT's free trial has to offer new players.
	Wednesday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Beau -- Second Life On this edition of Second Life Wednesday, Beau will be attempting to watch and explain Vetox Simboarding, a new sport that was actually created in the world of Second Life. That's right -- a game within a game just like in that stupid movie.
	Wednesday, 3:00 p.m. EST: Jeremy -- Vanguard You can't keep a good Dwarf down. Jeremy hops on his Dwarf Rogue to check out Vanguard's dungeon experience, which is pretty unique to this MMO. Fanx Caverns and Rindol Storehouse are among the stops on Jeremy's odyssey.
	Thursday, 5:00 a.m. EST: Psykopig -- Age of Conan Psykopig's barbaric adventure continues this Thursday in Age of Conan. Is the Isle of Tortage ready for his rage? Find out this week IN THE STY!
	Thursday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Beau -- RuneScape This week on RuneScape Thursday, Beau will continue to go after his quest list in the hopes that he gets a few more done. Will he? Well, probably... if you help him during the stream. That's right -- he takes tips, tricks, and free gold with no remorse!
	Friday, 3:00 p.m. EST: Jeremy -- Darkfall Jeremy dives into Darkfall for the very first time and needs you to tell him what to do. Watch and play along as Jeremy starts out the newb-climb to greatness as you play backseat driver and steer his course.
	Friday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Beau -- Spiral Knights On this Grab Bag Friday Beau is going to bash and slash his way through the Clockworks and new missions in Spiral Knights! Watch as he conquers the entire world (or at least a very tiny small part of it). Cheer him on!
	Saturday, 5:00 a.m. EST: Psykopig -- Star Trek Online Engage! Psykopig's space adventure continues this Saturday with his jaunt into the fantasmical world of Star Trek Online! Come check out the fun as he stumbles around trying to figure out how to play!

	Saturday, 10:00 p.m. EST: James "Adventure Mike" -- Ultima Online On this week's Rose-Tinted Saturday Night, Adventure Mike will be tackling the MMO that helped pave the way for most of today's great titles. The Ultima universe holds a near and dear place in Mike's heart, though he is a complete newbie when it comes to Ultima Online. Adventure Mike will be using the enhanced client of Kingdom Reborn to show off one of the early greats and hopefully do it the justice it wholeheartedly deserves.
	Saturday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Dylan "GGraves" -- PvP Saturday Dylan is back with another PvP Saturday! PvP Saturday is the weekly stream focusing on player vs. player combat in multiplayer PC games. Join Dylan as he teams up with other Massively streamers for some exciting combat. Remember to stretch your face for at least 10 minutes before rolling it across the keyboard!
	Sunday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Dylan "GGraves" -- Dota 2 Watch Dylan as he enjoys a punishing afternoon of Dota 2! If you're into Heroes of Newerth and League of Legends, come see where all the rage began! Trash talking and fail teamwork are almost guaranteed, so come hang out in the chat room and watch the 5v5 gankfest!
