Welcome to Not So Massively, our weekly roundup of the top news from popular multiplayer online battle arenas (MOBAs) and other multiplayer online games that aren't quite MMOs. Published every Monday, the column covers games such as League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth, Rise of Immortals, Bloodline Champions and more.

The past few weeks have been full of Diablo III news, and this week is no exception. With the friends and family portion of the closed beta underway and no NDA imposed on participants, videos of Diablo III gameplay have been flooding the net. It seems the upcoming title will be in for some competition when it releases, however, as Diablo-inspired action RPG Path of Exile is also in closed beta.

League of Legends drops support for its Mac client this week and publishes a champion spotlight on popular champion Corki. Rise of Immortals also releases its second spotlight video, featuring health-draining immortal Lazarus.

The oddest piece of news we received this week was that upcoming Wii-based RPG Dragon Quest X will feature MMO features and might even require a subscription fee.
