Big Download's sister site Massively.com has all the news you'll need about MMOs. Here's the best, brightest, and most interesting stuff from the last week, all in one convenient place for your MMO minute.

	Age of Conan newsletter previews new PvP, dungeons, and dancing! It's only been a short time since Age of Conan launched, but it has already seen some troubles. The newest edition of the game newsletter hints that good times are just over the horizon. Above and beyond bug fixing and regular patches, Funcom has announced they have a slew of new concepts and content ideas on the stove.
	Exclusive images of the new Legends of Norrath: Oathbreaker loot cards A week from today the next set of cards for Sony Online Entertainment's Legends of Norrath TCG will be released. Digital packs of cards will be noisily slotted into virtual racks, to be pawed over by players ... metaphorically.
	First trailer for Square/Enix's new MMO Concerto Gate unveiled Unfortunately the trailer shows almost nothing about what the actual game will be like, but we can make some guesses by looking at Concerto's successor, Crossgate.
	Hellgate staff abandoning sinking ship We never like to see a developer start to go on the down and out. Even in the rare event where we find few redeemable things about a game, we understand that the developers behind the project are generally good people and we hope that they continue to be fruitful in their endeavors.
	EVE Online blazes into The Empyrean Age Massively has been beating the war drums as EVE Online enters a new era in PvP: The Empyrean Age expansion. This time of factional warfare will sweep players of all four races in New Eden into a whirl of conflict never seen before in the game.
