MV Guide: May 21 - 27, 2012
MV Guide is a weekly rundown of the MMO gaming events planned on Massively TV.
Every week, the Massively Stream Team 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 each week, so you'll find a variety of titles to watch. During our streamed events, you can participate in the live chat, ask questions to learn about the game, or 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, and let us know if there's a specific game you'd like to see streamed next week!
Monday
5:00 p.m. EDT: Beau -- Threshold RPG
Beau is asking for more pain as he visits yet another MUD for Rise and Shiny. Don't worry; he's learned a few things and has already enjoyed some time in this game. Will he be able to last the week? We'll see. We shall see.
8:00pm EDT: Mike -- EVE Online
Mike sets out into EVE's black ocean of stars yet again, seeking fame and fortune for his character Spaceguy Rotsuda. Watch as he storms through the galaxy, knocking off sneaky pirate rats and insulting pirates while trying to avoid the scrap heap. Also, explosions!
Tuesday
9:00 p.m. EDT: MJ -- EverQuest II
Dungeons here, dungeons there. Dungeons, dungeons, everywhere! There really is no lack of dungeons in this game. With so many dungeons to choose from in many level ranges, it's hard to experience them all. This week's EverQuest Two-sday is all about the dungeon crawl. Which lucky dungeon will it be? And will MJ find a group or have to rely on just her trusty sidekick mercenary? Watch and see.
Wednesday
10:00 a.m. EDT: Richie -- Diablo III
By the time this show comes around, hopefully Richie will be cured of the plague that infested his home last week. The foul pestilence arriving at the same time of the launch of Diablo III cannot be mere coincidence. He seeks now to conquer the hellspawn and the Lord of Terror to regain his health... oh, and a ton of shiny loot too!
6:00 p.m. EDT: MJ -- Aion
Rolling with the dungeon theme this week, MJ dives into an instance in Aion. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to join her for a run through the Crucible Challenge. Of course, if she manages to get a whole group together, she might detour into Beshmundir Temple instead.
7:00 p.m. EDT: Mike -- TERA
It's TERA time again! Join Mike as he suits up for a long night of shield bashing, dodging and shouting as the Lancer, TERA's primary tanking class. You'll also get a glimpse of single-player content: questing, travel and a bit of trading. Find out how TERA stacks up against other MMOs and watch Mike stab giant monsters with a lance at the same time!
8:00 p.m. EDT: MJ -- City of Heroes
You voted for it, so you have no one to blame but yourselves! The overwhelming winner for the final Choose My Adventure foray into City of Heroes is... *drum roll* Story arcs! And not just the story arcs but missions narrated in funny voices. Which arc will we fly though? You'll have to watch to see. And stay tuned; the runner-up Massively dance party might just make an appearance!
Thursday
7:00 a.m. EDT: Dave "Psykopig" Desi -- Lord of the Rings Online
One Pig to rule them ALL! Join in this Thursday as Psykopig takes on Middle-earth in style! Lord of the Rings Online is shaping up to be a cracker of a game for the PIG!
5:00 p.m. EDT: Beau -- RuneScape
It looks like Beau is excited to get back to streaming some RuneScape, and what a week to start again! He will be streaming some of the Runespan as well as playing with bonfires and the Squeal of Fortune. The recent FPS improvements will hopefully make the stream smoother than before!
9:00 p.m. EDT: MJ -- Vanguard
Previously, MJ showed off the construction of a large Kojani house. This week, join her as she tours a number of decorated houses to showcase the creativity and ingenuity of Vanguard players. Hopefully, she'll gain access to a guild hall without being forced to huff, puff, and blow the door down!
Friday
5:00 p.m. EDT: Beau -- Command and Conquer Tiberium Alliances
Beau has been having fun in this new browser-based incarnation from the Command and Conquer series. He'll take you through building up a town, attacking other players or NPCs, and playing around with the very unique combat system. Be prepared to be surprised; there are some unique MMORTS elements at play in this one.
6:00 p.m. EDT: Jeremy -- Vanguard
Are dungeons king, in MMOs? They just might be even more popular in Vanguard. Join Jeremy as he takes a look at some dungeons, talks about the large variety for every level of player, and gives his opinions on current and upcoming content, like the massive 19-boss raid on its way!
Saturday
7:00 a.m. EDT: Dave "Psykopig" Desi -- Lord of the Rings Online
Bored of the Rings??? Not anymore! Saturday mornings are exciting now that Psykopig has control! Join in as Middle-earth learns how to keep a Pig Pen!
9:00 p.m. EDT: Jeremy -- Everquest II
The collaborative, player-made dungeon is cleaned out and ready to be decorated by you, but what can you do with the dungeon maker? Jeremy devotes this week to showing you how to place furniture, spawners and effect objects. A player can stretch his imagination to the brink with the abilities to shrink and enlarge anything, add spawners, set walking paths, combine furniture in interesting ways, and more. This show will give you all the experience you need to help Jeremy start creating a great dungeon. And if you still need ideas, Jeremy has featured an awesome dungeon in last week's show to give you an idea how crazy you can get with decorating and mob placement.
