MV Guide is a weekly rundown of the MMO gaming events planned on Massively's Livestream channel.

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 games to take a look at. During Livestream events, you can participate in the live chat to learn about the game, ask questions, and spend some time with Massively staff and readers. (Of course, Livestream events are subject to the whims of outside forces like server-side gremlins once in a while.)

Follow along after the jump to see what's scheduled for this week!

Monday, 1:00 p.m. EDT: Shawn -- Dawntide
Join Massively's Editor-in-Chief Shawn Schuster as he takes you through his favorite MMOs. Considering the fact that he can't seem to stick with one game for long, you're bound to see a variety of titles, including betas, new releases, and old favorites. In this episode, Shawn will jump into Dawntide, the indie sandbox game that's currently in open beta. Will it be better than other sandboxes like Wurm Online, A Tale in the Desert, and Xsyon? Tune in and see!

Monday, 3:00 p.m. EDT: Beau -- Global Agenda
Strap on your rocket-pack and load your gear, because Beau is going to take you on a thrill ride through Global Agenda. OK, so he's going to get shot a lot. Still, it will be fun to watch him play this cool free MMOFPS!

Tuesday, 3:00 p.m. EDT: Beau -- PlanetSide
Ah, PlanetSide, you wonderful old beast you. To this day there's nothing like you, and Beau plans on proving that he too can take a few hits. Get in your drop pods -- it's time to play some PlanetSide!

Wednesday, 3:00 p.m. EDT: Beau -- Quake Live
This quirky little shooter seems to be very popular with all the kids these days, with their mohawks and piercings! Join Beau as he braves through countless rounds of wasted ammo, missing his enemies in style!

Thursday, 9:00 p.m. EDT: Justin -- RIFT
Throw on your favorite fedora and join Justin as he goes rift-chasing through Telara! He'll spend an hour or so hopping between dynamic events and hoping for an epic invasion to blot out the sun.

Friday, 12:00 p.m. EDT: Brandon -- Star Trek Online
Hang out with Brandon for an afternoon full of Star Trek Online as he continues to level his Massively-exclusive toon, Bojangles. Last time we saw this recently promoted Lieutenant, he had just finished up the tutorial, so tune in to catch him continue his adventure through the first of the developer-remastered episodes, Stranded in Space, and take his new ship out of drydock.

Friday, 3:00 p.m. EDT: Beau -- World of Tanks
So you think you've got what it takes to ride alongside Beau as he gets blown up over and over? Well, do you? If so, check it out as he stumbles his way around a battlefield.

Friday, 7:00 p.m. EDT: Jeremy -- Runes of Magic
Times have changed slightly, so Jeremy will be streaming an hour earlier than usual. The Spring Rain Festival is over and has given way to the Music Festival. Break out your tambourines and guitars and join Jeremy in the event-guild, [Mveventful], on Artemis as he takes a tour of Runes of Magic's Music Festival.
