MV Guide: May 7 - 13, 2012
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
5:00 p.m. EDT: Beau -- Dark Legends
Join Beau as he checks out Spacetime Studio's latest game, Dark Legends. There has been some controversy about the energy mechanic in the game, so Beau will be sure to go over every bit of it. Join in the chat room to ask questions!
8:00 p.m. EDT: Mike -- EVE Online
Mike's back again with EVE Online, the rough and tumble space MMO that pits you against thousands of sneaky pirates, clever businessmen, and dangerous NPC mercenaries. Tune in for more mid-level missions and the destruction of space rats aplenty.
Tuesday
9:00 p.m. EDT: MJ -- EverQuest II
Last time Emyja ventured in Norrath, she hit level 30, and you know what that means! Leaping mount! Join her as she jumps through the hoops to get her very own leaper, quite possibly the funnest mount ever made.
Wednesday
5:00 p.m. EDT: Beau -- Second Life
On this Second Life Wednesday, Beau will be back to his tiny island home in the sky to host a live event. If you have ever wanted to see one in action, this will be the stream to catch!
7:00 p.m. EDT: Mike -- TERA
Join Mike as he ventures into the world of TERA, the brand-new action MMO packed with massive monsters, gorgeous graphics, and itty-bitty armor bikinis. Find out what TERA is like for new players, especially those of the Lancer variety. Mike is ready for a new adventure!
Thursday
10:00 a.m. EDT: Richie -- Tribes: Ascend
Richie is still recovering from Guild Wars 2 withdrawal, but what better cure than slapping on a jet-pack and skiing down lava-spewing mountains? Join him as he checks out high-speed MMOFPS Tribes: Ascend. This is going to get messy.
Friday
5:00 p.m. EDT: Beau -- Empire and State
Empire and State is a unique browser-based game that pits groups of players against each other across a sprawling map. It offers a little bit of social gaming mechanics, some deep strategy, and interesting artwork. Keep an eye on this stream if you're curious about something different!
8:00 p.m. EDT: MJ -- Aion
It was a close vote, but the PvP arenas edged out grouping by one vote, so this week MJ will queue into the Chaos and Discipline Arenas for some short bursts of PvP. Anyone can handle PvP for 15 short minutes, right?
9:00 p.m. EDT: MJ -- City of Heroes
You had to know flight was only the beginning! Last week MJ ended the night by obtaining the one thing her little spandexed-heart coveted: flight. Now she'll continue to fight for justice and fry up the bad guys in City of Heroes, all while zipping around through the air! Join her and help direct her adventures this week.
10:00 p.m. EDT: Jeremy -- Vanguard
The rogue is quite possibly the hardest class to solo in Vanguard, but that's never stopped Jeremy. Join him for some level 18 questing.
Saturday
5:00 p.m. EDT: Dylan "GGraves" -- Destroy All Evil! (Diablo II)
Join Dylan as he celebrates the upcoming release of Diablo III. This series will bring light into darkness as GGraves cuts through hordes of demons and undead. Hellfire, massive weapons and righteous redemption await. Come join us in the chat room as we Destroy All Evil with other Massively viewers. The featured game will be Diablo II, so stay a while and listen.
7:00 p.m. EDT: James "Adventure Mike" -- EverQuest
Adventure Mike is going to continue his excursions in the world of Norrath this week with a two-hour EverQuest extravaganza. Watch one of the original MMORPG's in action as Mike tries his hand at a brand-new class. The game has recently gone free-to-play and is just teeming with new players. Join him in game or in chat for some old school enjoyment this saturday.
8:00 p.m. EDT: James "Adventure Mike" -- EverQuest (Continued)
Part two of Adventure Mike's EQ stream.
9:00 p.m. EDT: Jeremy -- EverQuest II
Welcome to Dungeoneering, the show where Jeremy shows off EQII dungeons that you made and you help create a collaborative dungeon. The Dungeon Maker has been out for quite a while, and that's given players plenty of time to come up with some creative, cool, and silly dungeons. Jeremy is going to showcase one or more player-made dungeons and then devote part of the show to creating a dungeon, but the twist is that you, the viewer, needs to help him design it.
Sunday
5:00 p.m. EDT: Dylan "GGraves" -- Destroy All Evil! (Diablo II)
Join Dylan as he celebrates the upcoming release of Diablo III. This series will bring light into darkness as GGraves cuts through hordes of demons and undead. Hellfire, massive weapons and righteous redemption await. Come join us in the chat room as we Destroy All Evil with other Massively viewers. The featured game will be Diablo II, so stay a while and listen.
