Our Community
Massively multiplayer games aren't really massive without hordes of people, right? Here at Massively, we're all about getting involved with our community. We don't sit here hidden behind our computer screens, writing stories about games we don't play. We're right in the thick of things with you, experiencing the same bugs, the same upsets, the same updates, and the same gaming experience. We're PvPers, we're RPers, we're just starting the game, and we're at the endgame. So why not join us! Participate in one of our contests. Sign up for one of Massively's official guilds. Come game with us, meet some new people, and have a great time!
Comment on our work!The easiest way to get involved is to jump right in and post in the comment section of one of our news posts or feature stories that interests you. Just scroll down to the Livefyre comment box, register to post using one of the connected social media sites, and contribute to the ongoing discussion with your fellow commenters. Keep it clean and follow our code of conduct, and if you have any questions, just refer to our commenting FAQ!
Follow us!If you're an avid social media user who loves updates on your favorite games, be sure to follow us on Twitter, "like" us on Facebook, or "plus-1" us on GooglePlus. During the day we'll throw out polls, contests, quips, and quotes on all sorts of MMOs, in addition to providing you the most interesting stories of the day. Don't be shy! Retweet us, send us @messages, or comment on our links, and you'll most likely hear back from one of us. Digg or Reddit our best work and we'll be even happier!
Visit our Enjin social hub!
Visit our Enjin social hub!Our Enjin site is a social hub for our most dedicated fans. One registration grants you access to our public browser chat, special forums, and a schedule of public events. Join the Massively staff and your fellow readers there to talk about the latest news on the site, arrange in-game meetups, or just hang around and jaw about lolcats. Enjin also provides us a Mumble server, so if you'd like to take part in any Massively events or guilds, make sure to check in with the Massively staff member in charge to gain access to our voice chat.
Stream with us!
If you want to check out a game without shelling out for it first, you definitely want to join us for one of our scheduled livestreams! Several times per week, Massively bloggers take the reins of Massively TV on the Twitch website. Once registered, you can watch, listen, and chat with other viewers as we play and show off various games. And if you can't make a live show, you can always rewatch an older stream to see what you missed or chat about streams on our Enjin forums.
Join the mob!
No, not that mob -- the Massively Mob, our Steam community! The Mob teams up to play games on Steam, to coordinate Massively guilds, and occasionally to participate in developer-hosted Massively events. Everyone is welcome! All you need is a Steam ID, which you can get at the official Steam website for the low price of free. Plus, Steam gives you great deals on new games and has a great overlay to allow you to communicate with your buddies from inside any game. What are you waiting for?
Contact us!
Just because we have an awesome community doesn't mean you should be limited! While breaking into a specific game's community can sometimes be hard to do, we've compiled a few guides to finding the best community sites for your favorite game. As more games are released and move on up in the spotlight, we'll make new guides as well as update our old ones. For now though, enjoy these looks into the fan communities behind your MMOs:

Bury us in screenshots!
Every Sunday, we post One Shots, a community-driven screenshot feature dedicated to showcasing some of the cool screenshots our readers have taken in games across the MMOsphere.

Don't forget to include your name, the name of the game, and a description of the scene. Large, colorful, UI-free shots that tell a story and really show off the game make for the best images!
