MV Guide: June 4 - 10, 2012

Diablo III

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 -- Doctor Who: Worlds in Time
This week on Rise and Shiny, Beau will be taking a look at the new Three Rings Doctor Who title. It might appear cute and cuddly, but there are some real nice puzzle-based gameplay and story-driven aspects to the game. If you've been curious about it before, then check out this stream!

8:00 p.m. EDT: Mike -- EVE Online
In this week's EVE stream, Mike is on a quest for valuable planetary resources. Tune in to watch a man hopelessly out of his depth as he struggles to understand how planetary action in EVE works and why exactly he should do it. Oh, and the bounty on Mike's Drake is still in full force; will someone down his ship and earn the 100 million ISK bounty?


Tuesday

9:00 p.m. EDT: MJ -- EverQuest II
Join the EverQuest Two-sday tour bus! This week MJ will be checking out some nifty decorated homes and guild halls to give an idea of the scope of creativity in this game. You may have seen some already, but there is no way you have seen them all! MJ will make a stop at an Innoruuk Temple and possibly even an island of nutty homes along with many others. Need some ideas for your own place? Hop onboard!


Wednesday

6:00 p.m. EDT: MJ -- City of Heroes
You know from Choose My Adventure that MJ can't create a character in less than, say, a week. So come watch as she bites the bullet and attempts to create a brand-spanking-new character while showing off the elaborate costume customizations available in City of Heroes. With your help, she might actually succeed in finishing it in just one hour!

7:00 p.m. EDT: Mike -- Drakensang Online
Mike returns again to the free-to-play, dungeon-crawling, browser-based MMO that is Drakensang Online. Join Mike and his Mage, Magelicious, as they carve a path of death and destruction through mountains of angry mobs. Or, if the last Drakensang stream is any indicator, as Mike is mercilessly and repeatedly murdered by witches, wolves and shamans. Bonus points for deaths caused by incompetence!

8:00 p.m. EDT: MJ -- Lord of the Rings Online
There are some things in life you just can't miss, and LotRO's Spring Festival is one of them! From assorted unique quests to nifty clothing rewards, the festival has something for everyone. Come join MJ in Middle-earth for a shrew-stomping, drunken-fence-walking, flower-picking good time.


Thursday

8:00 a.m. EDT: David "Psykopig" -- Lord of the Rings Online
Back with a new time slot, Psykopig is taking on Lord of the Rings Online like he has taken on no other game before! He is tackling those levels and quest... like a... like a PIG!

10:00 a.m.: Richie -- Diablo III
Details are scarce regarding Richie's show this week. He is going to play Diablo III, and it will be a two-hour stream, but other than that, the gameplan is up in the air. He's already trounced normal mode on his Witch Doctor, Yogafire. Even nightmare mode was more like a slightly disturbing daydream than anything terrifying. But the hell difficulty has been seriously kicking his butt. It's possible he might have inferno mode unlocked by show time, but will he still have enough of his sanity left to play it? Tune in to find out.

11:00 a.m.: Richie -- Diablo III
Part two of the two-hour show above.

5:00 p.m. EDT: Beau -- RuneScape
It's time to look at the Runespan in this week's RuneScape livestream. Last week, Beau had to change his plans to check out the brand-new, fully voice-acted quest in the game, but it's back to plan A this week. The Runespan is a brand-new area that helps level runecrafting, so let's see how well Beau explains it.


Friday

5:00 p.m. EDT: Beau -- Free Realms
It's been a while since we poked our noses into the world of Free Realms, so now is as good a time as any! There have been so many improvements made to the game over the last year, so Beau will try to show you what has gone on. The recent birthday bash fed more content into the game, so let's check it out!

9:00 p.m. EDT: Jeremy -- Vanguard
You helped him roll the legendary Kurashasa Disciple, Mioww Mix. Now play along as Jeremy takes those first tentative steps out into the world of Telon with an anthropomorphic, kick-boxing, bandage-wielding cat! This is the perfect time for returning veterans to catch up on how things will be changed, and what new content to expect, from the newbie experience and up. It also couldn't be a better time for newbies to see what the game is like, before it goes free-to-play this summer.

10:00 p.m. EDT: MJ -- Aion
After taming the wilds of the housing district last week, MJ feels the need for some flaming action this time around, so she's going to meet up with some old friends -- Rotan and Kromede. Join her as she plumbs the depths of Fire Temple, a level 30s dungeon that taunts Daevas with promises of spectacular loot but rarely delivers.


Saturday

8:00 a.m. EDT: David "Psykopig" -- Lord of the Rings Online
Saturday mornings just got more Saturday-ier! With the awesomeness of Daylight Saving, Psykopig can have his show at a time when more of you can tune in! Join in as Psykopig cuts through Lord of the Rings Online with a tiny Hobbit!

9:00 p.m. EDT: Jeremy -- World of Warcraft
Will Necronomnom ding 20 this week? Jeremy's creeping ever closer to World of Warcraft's trial-limit, but the fun doesn't have to stop there. Crafting and the explorable world are just two additonal things to add quality gametime. Tune in, ask your questions about the trial-edition, and share your likes and dislikes about it.


Sunday

9:00 p.m. EDT: Shawn -- Guild Wars 2
Shawn's going to wrap up the week of livestreaming with some Guild Wars 2 action from the second closed beta weekend event. This is your chance to see more of the game if you're holding out on pre-purchasing or didn't get a key in our giveaway. Why is the MMO blogosphere going nuts over this upcoming title? Watch and see!
