MV Guide: May 14 - 20, 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 -- BatMUD
For Rise and Shiny this week Beau will be checking out yet another MUD, this time BatMUD. It has an interesting interface and takes a different approach to MUDing than some of the other games we have seen, so check this one out.
8:00 p.m. EDT: Mike -- EVE Online
It's that time again, space fans! Join Mike has he makes another suicidal run into low-security space with a brand new, no-skilled character. Can he make it there and back without getting destroyed, or will his (many) pirate taunts be met with malice? Tune in and find out!
Tuesday

Continuation of 2 p.m. stream.
9:00 p.m. EDT: MJ -- EverQuest II
Status is important, not just for self-aggrandisement, but for buying special items and even paying for certain versions of housing. One way to obtain that status is by completing Heritage Quests. Join Emyja as she knocks out an HQ or two on EverQuest Two-sday.
Wednesday
5:00 p.m. EDT: Beau -- Second Life
In this edition of Second Life Wednesday, Beau will be shopping for some cool medieval armor and weapons. If he's lucky, he'll look pretty much like a tough guy by the end of the stream. Feel free to ask questions or give tips in the chat room!
7:00 p.m. EDT: Mike -- TERA
Mike and his triumphant Lancer return to tank the life out of some BAMs and generally storm around the world injuring mobs. Tune in to see what it's like to be an impeccably-dressed damage sponge in high heels. Monsters, quests, lances and area chat await you!
8:00 p.m. EDT: MJ -- City of Heroes
Touring bases it is! By popular demand, Red Hairring will see how many bases she can infiltrate... I mean, visit... to show off what creativity is possible in City of Heroes. There will be plenty of time for more grouping shenanigans as well! Whatever will she burn this week...

8:00 p.m. EDT: MJ -- Aion
By request, this week MJ will highlight a siege. Abyss sieges start a bit too late, so she will show up willing and able to help in Tiamaranta. Now, the only question is, will anyone else show?
9:00 p.m. EDT: Jeremy -- Vanguard
