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, 1:00 p.m. EST: Karen and Jeremy -- Allods Online Karen and Jeremy return to the Astral for a tour with the Allods team. If you've never seen Astral ships or travel, you'll definitely want to check this out!
	Monday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Beau -- Seven Souls Online Rise and Shiny this week will feature Seven Souls Online, a new action MMO brought to us by NEOWIZ Games. Will Beau get his lights punched out as he ventures into the game for the first time? Probably. But then again, that's what he gets paid for.
	Monday, 8:00 p.m. EST: Mike -- EVE Online Mike is back in EVE Online again with Spaceguy Rotsuda, the crowd-sourced character built by the Massively audience. Tune in as he uses absurdly expensive ammunition to down low-level foes and completes a few agent missions along the way.
	Tuesday, 2:00 p.m. EST: Larry -- Star Wars: The Old Republic First Risha has us running errands on Nar Shaddaa, and now we are running errands for a Hutt, too. When did we turn into a messenger boy? Follow Topper's adventures on the gangster moon this Tuesday. Maybe we will find out more about the Wookiee Bowdaar.
	Tuesday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Beau -- Glitch Check out this Glitch Tuesday as Beau shows off everything about gardening. It is spring, after all, so why not do a full week of gardening tips? Glitch features a robust farming system, so let's check it out!
	Tuesday, 8:00 p.m. EST: Dylan "GGraves" -- Diablo III Skulls are flying and flames are burning! Join Dylan as he returns to Diablo III. Take this opportunity to learn about the new Rune system and see some new spells! Blizzard has been hard at work updating content, and the new patch is pretty exciting! See you in the chat, minions!
	Wednesday, 11:00 a.m. EST: Richie -- Guild Wars Last week, Richie successfully thwarted the Great Destroyer and finished the Eye of the North expansion. This week he endeavors to take on part three of the Winds of Change content. Will he finally expose the Ministry of Purity for the self-righteous scumbags they are? Watch the show to find out!
	Wednesday, 3:00 p.m. EST: Jeremy -- Runes of Magic Tune in as Jeremy dons his new and uber wand and hammer. He'll take a look at power modifiers, the newest stats, and try out his new weapons in some dungeons and PvP battlefields.
	Wednesday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Beau -- Second Life This week on Second Life Wednesday, Beau will be looking into creating and maintaining a garden. He'll be constructing a garden spot and laying down flowers and maybe a tree or two. Join him and give him some advice!
	Wednesday, 7:00pm EST: Mike --RIFT Mike's returns to RIFT with an immensely powerful level 5 character and all the lightning bolts you can stomach. Find out what RIFT's free trial has to offer and how long Mike can go without falling off a cliff or pulling too many mobs in this week's RIFT stream.
	Thursday, 5:00 a.m EST: David "Psykopig" -- Age of Conan Psykopig goes for attempt #2 this week and hits up Age of Conan! Bring your Barbarian hats and come join the fun!
	Thursday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Beau -- Luvinia Online Join Beau as he streams a wedding, live, in Luvinia Online! The release of the new wedding system allows players to live happiliy ever after. Beau has an exclusive invitation to the event, and he didn't even have to bring a gift. Spring is the perfect time for getting hitched!
	Thursday, 8:00 p.m. EST: Taryn "Tboo"-- APB: Reloaded The lovey-dovey Valentine's Day goop is finally over. Now it's time to focus on spillin' more blood on the streets of San Paro! This week, Taryn hops back on her criminal account with guest player LooCLoo for Tboo Thursday! Join Tboo and her crims this week and see what craziness they can get into. Also, make sure to read up and have some gun selections ready for Taryn to try out this week... you pick it, she'll use it! (Yes, this goes for LooCLoo too!)
	Friday, 3:00 p.m. EST: Jeremy -- Fallen Earth A boy and his dog, alone in the wasteland: Join Jeremy in one of his favorite MMOs to live in. He'll talk about crafting and combat and show you one of his favorite places to pitch a tent.
	Friday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Beau -- Free Realms Grab Bag Friday is all about spring farming! What better game to pull up some weeds in than Free Realms? Join Beau as he spends the hour planting, pulling, cropping and selling goods. Careful, you might get your hands dirty.
	Saturday, 5:00 a.m. EST: David "Psykopig" -- Wizard101 The time has come again! Join Psykopig as he tries to figure out why certain MMOs exist. This month he tries Wizard101! Is it only for small children? Will it be the most terrible MMO he has played to date? Tune in to find out!
	Saturday, 5:00 p.m. EST: Dylan "GGraves" -- PvP Saturday It's another bone-crushing, patch-creating, trash-talking PvP Saturday! PvP Saturday is the weekly stream focusing on player vs. player combat in multiplayer PC games. Join Dylan as he teams up with other Massively streamers for some exciting combat.
	Saturday, 9:00 p.m. EST: James "Adventure Mike" -- Guild Wars You may be asking yourselves, why is Adventure Mike playing Guild Wars on Saturday this week? The simple answer is that this weekend Mike and Shannon will be doing a two-hour Guild Wars extravaganza! Come watch the usual Wednesday chills and spills on Saturday night! Mike will be running himself ragged on Guild Wars and dragging Shannon along for the ride. Tune in to see the hilarity in action!
	Saturday, 10:00 p.m. EST: James "Adventure Mike" -- Guild Wars Mike and Shannon will be continuing their two-hour Guild Wars extravaganza. At this point, the second half of this special Guild Wars event finds Mike and Shannon struggling to get ahead and finish off the Prophecies campaign. Can they succeed? Or will Mike continue to hide into a corner while Shannon does all of the heavy lifting (literally)? Check out both halves of this special event and bring your adult beverages. It's Saturday night, after all!
	Sunday, 1:00 p.m. EST: Blake -- Global Agenda Blake is back after a one-week hiatus! Lunchtime Livecast #10 is better than ever, as Blake heads into a PvE mission for the first time on his new Robotic. Is he doomed to fail, or can he master his new abilities and support his team to victory?
