A news site devoted to wargames, multiplayer, MM or otherwise.
The end-all, be-all of gaming news sites. This site covers all multiplayer online games, and occasionally even the Massive ones.
Another good editorial site focusing on online gaming with a CMS backend (see Lum the Mad). Good design, and insightful commentary.
I used to work across the street from these guys. Not only are they a great bunch, but they tend to have a pretty up to date site. A very good spot to find news, and particuarly the latest in Demo downloads.
Another print magazine from the ZDNet media empire. This is it's online version, although I've noticed it's about 2 weeks behind the print version release.
Reviews and Editorials in a news presentation fashion for the CRPG world, including a lot of coverage for the MM title market.
A nicely designed, and well updated news site focused on gaming from ...well... the European Gamer's viewpoint. I, personally, didn't realize that there was a distinction, but it's a worthwile site to visit, even if you aren't European.
A general CRPG site with news for the industry. Covers MM titles like AC, EQ, and the upcoming Neverwinter Nights.
A general games news site that sometimes touches on matters that concern the MM world.
Yet another ZDNet-conquered media outlet for gaming news. This mag covers all aspects of electronic gaming, from console games to classic CRPG.
One of the more professionally designed news websites out there devoted to gaming (not that this niche is over-filled, or anything). Gamespy's got some great reviews, and hosts an impressive array of sites.

A new Gameznet network site devoted to MM titles and news.
The core network page for the Stratics network is also a depot for their MMOG news, guides, and information.
An excellent site related to MM titles. The motto appears to be: News. Commentary. Rumors. Flames. Hubris. Pathos. Massively. Multiplayer. Kudos for the Latin, Lum.
An efront network website dedicated to multiplayer titles. Occasionally, they touch on the Massive end of these kinds of games.
The Multiplayer Online Game Directory is a good place to find information on new MM titles, and ongoing classic titles (like many of the MUDs out there). They cover everything that is > 1 player, however, so there's a LOT of content.
An MM-centric news site. I find it difficult to navigate, but I'm a spartan designer (you couldn't tell?)
A site in Sweden listing various POWs, with links and news.
News/Portal site for MM titles.
The core Lore network site, combining news excerpts and headlines from all of the sub-sites. Good community input at this site.
Another classic in the game news scene. Contrary to popular opinion, the classic game news websites are not all run by a secret cabal intent on giving you the same news over and over again. No one ever pretended that they were secret...
Another classic gaming news web site. Along with Blues, these guys have been informing me how and what to think for years.
Ostensibly related completely to 3D gaming hardware, this news site is actually related to how you use your 3D gaming hardward (to the extreme...get it?) Anyway, they periodically have news on MMs, as more often than not, the clients in question are 3d accelerated.
