About
Massively Overpowered launched as an independent MMORPG website on February 10th, 2015, after its founding staff’s previous site, Massively.com on the renowned Joystiq network, was abruptly sunsetted by its faceless megacorp parent company. Having already spent seven years building up a rich community with substantial content, the staff of Massively Overpowered still strives to deliver nuanced and entertaining news, streams, and editorials focused on the vibrant massively multiplayer online roleplaying games market and orbiting genres.

On Massively Overpowered, the same ol' MMORPG crew you knew and loved from Massively strives to be a unique lens through which to view MMORPGs, with diligent editorial oversight, honest opinions, and truly independent coverage, and our goal is to do so sustainably, with multiple revenue streams to keep our site up, our comments flowing, and our staff properly compensated. Patreon is one such stream.
Patreon is a little bit different from Kickstarter in that it’s designed to encourage users to pledge a few dollars a month as an optional subscription. Some Patreon creators do paywall content just for those subscribers, but we’re hoping to avoid that and focus on other incentives — the primary incentive being keeping the site online! But we’ll dole out other thank-yous to our patrons, like credits and badges (akin to those offered in the Kickstarter) as well as early access to some MOP content and specific avenues for participating in the site. There are also some larger rewards intended for one-off contributions from people who want to sponsor a specific chunk of content (we’ll work around Patreon’s infrastructure to make those happen). We hope to strike a fair balance between our early bird Kickstarter donors and our long-term Patreon supporters as well as allow our community to sponsor what we do without dictating the terms. You’ll let us know if we can do even better!
Thank you all so much for your support in keeping the site and the staff online and awesome. With love,
