Another look at Perfect World

30 July, 2009 (15:58) | All, Perfect World | No comments

I reviewed Perfect World International a while ago but never bothered with a follow up, so I thought I would touch on some things that I didn’t cover the first time.  I haven’t really put a lot of time into the game because of other gaming interests, but I have had a bit of a [...]

Runes of Magic

27 July, 2009 (02:58) | All, Random Stuff | 3 comments

As part of my quest to find a Free2Play MMO to play as an alternate game I decided to give Runes of Magic a try.  This game had received some fairly reasonable reviews from some respectable bloggers so I figured it couldn’t be all that bad.  Or could it?
This game has been compared to World [...]

Beta #4 concludes

20 July, 2009 (15:38) | Aion, All | 1 comment

Beta weekend #4 for Aion has come to a close, and I managed to get a bit more gaming done, though nowhere near as much as I would’ve liked.  So what do I think now that I’ve played some more and has my opinion changed since my previous blog entry?
I’ll start by mentioning the character [...]

Aion Beta weekend No. 4

18 July, 2009 (02:49) | Aion, All | 6 comments

Today saw the commencement of Aion’s fourth beta weekend event.  Thanks to the different time zones the kick off for me was 5am.  Unfortunately I’m working today and 5am is what time I normally get up for work.  This is my first beta weekend in Aion, having only just received my beta keys, and I [...]

Wanting more from quests

16 July, 2009 (00:45) | Age of Conan, All, Vanguard | 2 comments

It’s no secret that I don’t like the way quests are handled in today’s MMO’s.  Basically it’s  a case of running into a quest hub, loading up on as many quests as you can carry, then heading out to complete them.  Once they’re done, turn them in and it’s rinse and repeat.  I rarely bother [...]

Vanguard and artistic style

13 July, 2009 (20:01) | All, Vanguard | 2 comments

It’s been a while since I stuck my head into Vanguard.  While I’ve been enjoying Age of Conan and also keeping myself busy trying a variety of MMO’s, I’ve been kind of missing Vanguard.  So I had a couple of hours of gaming time and nothing I really felt like playing so I decided to [...]

I’m currently in the Closed Beta of an online game, and as you might expect, I can’t tell you a thing about it.
you may not post information or screen shots of any kind of the Game to any website or otherwise publicly display game-play elements of the Game
I will post my thoughts when I am [...]

Still playing

5 July, 2009 (02:13) | Age of Conan, All, EVE | 1 comment

I haven’t blogged lately, as you can tell, only because I’ve been too lazy and hadn’t really had anything to contribute to the MMO community at large.  I still don’t have anything to contribute, but I’ll think of something over the coming days.
I’ve been playing a bit of everything these past weeks, but mostly spending [...]
