MMO Gamers

After my 3 week hiatus from Vanguard I came back refreshed and eager to play it again.  My main is a level 38 cleric and I’ve tried a few of the other classes but only to level 5 or so.  One class I hadn’t tried yet but have developed an interest in is the blood […]

     GU #5 is on the test server currently and should be live before long.  One of the more exciting things is the inclusion of racial mounts.  There’ll be one for each of the 18 races which you can get by grinding faction and doing a quest at levels 30 and also level 50.  So […]

     I had a few days off work so I managed to revisit a few MMOG as well as try a new one so I thought I would give a quick round up of my experiences.

EVE Online – I downloaded the free trial and the subsequent graphics update.  Firstly let me start by saying that […]

     Pirates of the Burning Sea I played on my desktop […]

     I had a very frustrating play session in Vanguard today.  Firstly I was grouped in Thelaseen again still trying to aquire all the runes and tomes I need for my Ancient Armour, as well as increasing my faction.  The group was not going well.  The tank, whom I’ve grouped with before and normally does […]

     Well I’ve managed to get my cleric in Vanguard to level 36, mostly thanks to groups in Thelaseen, and it’s starting to become a grind.  Forget soloing, at least for a cleric.  I don’t even notice my XP bar move.  Grouping is still the best way to gain XP by far, but even hours […]
