On this week’s show, Bree and Justin cleans up after Guild Wars 2's PR disaster, chew over the survivability of Shroud of the Avatar, and commiserate about Camelot Unchained's delay. It's not all downer news -- there's some really great stuff happening in the MMO industry, and that makes an appearance on this extra-long episode!

Special note: If you want to skip the ArenaNet discussion for the rest of the news, go to the 50-minute mark (yeah, we talk about it a lot!).

It’s the Massively OP Podcast, an action-packed hour of news, tales, opinions, and gamer emails! And remember, if you’d like to send in your own letter to the show, use the “Tips” button in the top-right corner of the site to do so.
