I’ve been slowly adding links to other blogs in my blogroll. Tobold’s and Keen and Graev’s blogs have been around for a while and I’ve been a fan. Bildo’s, Hexx and Thallian’s I’ve only just discovered. I don’t want to have a huge blogroll but if I stumble across a blog I like then I’ll […]
I’ve been doing these URT missions in Vanguard, which stand for United Races of Thestra. From what I can gather the URT is some kind of United Nations type organisation. The quests come in a series, so you usually have 4 or 5 quests to complete to finish the mission and they provide a […]

Over on Keen and Graev’s blog, Keen says he hasn’t felt like logging in to Pirates of the Burning Sea for the last three days and he doesn’t know if he’ll continue to play it. I know exactly how he feels. I logged in a few days ago and checked in on my freetrader. […]
Bildo left a nice comment to my Classic MMO Formula topic and in it he said, without taking it too much out of context “You don’t want to break what’s not broken”. And this got me wondering have we found the ideal formula for a MMO? I mean, have the basic game ideas changed […]
Ryzom’s slow agonizing death has finally come to an end with the last of its servers being shut down. This MMO was originally released in 2004 as The Saga of Ryzom but received little attention.
