Yesterday while I was doing a very boring ecommerce product migration from one site to another, I was playing around in my Google analytics account and noticed some interesting things. One, traffic had increased since Rift has come out – it was no longer just my husband and two close friends reading the blog. (I …
There is a lot of Rift vs. Warcraft discussion across the blogosphere right now – we’ve all read the posts, the recriminations and fanboi postings on both sides, as well as the declarations of “Rift free zones”. It’s silly, but it is human nature. None of us want change unless we are the ones doing …
Sometimes I just like to explore new areas (seeing how far I can get without being killed by a high-level mob), or just ride around and enjoy the scenery. These are some screeenshots showing some of the really lovely areas (and lovely skies) in Telara.
There was quite a candid and in-depth interview recently that Massively did with Scott Hartsman at Pax East 2011. If you’re interested in Rift, it’s definitely worth a read. They cover launch, queues, a bit about the hacking issues, and so on. One thing I found interesting was the following: Massively: How about plans for …
Since the last patch, I’ve been experiencing some distressing problems with Rift.

Just had to use that title because I saw someone with a <Cake or Death> guild tag last night, and it really amused me. Great name. (For those of you who don’t know where the reference comes from, Eddie Izzard below.) So, death, please…no, cake! I meant cake. :D I dinged 26 on my Cleric …
Although I feel as though I’m conceeding something to the snarky little bastards on the forums (“stop QQing about queues, just reroll as many times as it takes to be able to play, I’m all smug and ass-hatty because I got in late and rolled on an empty server”), we logged in to Argent and …
I love my big blue Bahmi girl. I love the way that horses have been modelled and animated. The trouble is, the two don’t work well together because Bahmi characters have a horrible riding animation. Oh, she rides the stupid turtle just fine. But as soon as she gets on her horse, she does a …
