The title is a bit provocative as the game has just received a fresh influx of players and is quite busy, especially in lower levels – but I will explain. Yesterday I resubbed to the game. As I wrote about previously, the free to play experience seems to be designed to punish the player, EA …
Perhaps I’m getting old. Perhaps I’ve just played MMOs for too many years. Perhaps I’m just overly cranky after the horrific headaches which have sidelined me during much of this month. I find myself firmly in that “You kids get the hell off my lawn” state of shaky belligerence and ire when it comes to …
I was saddened to read the news about SWTOR going F2p by the end of the year. I actually stayed away from the comment section on articles that covered it, not wanting to read a bunch of people crowing in triumph over the perceived fail of a game that they hated. In my opinion, The …
I’ve really been enjoying The Secret World. As you get farther into the game, the story becomes deeper and deeper. The writing and voice acting are some of the best that I have ever seen, although the character animations let it down a bit. If you’re one of those “rush to end game, skip quest …
I’ve felt a bit meh in SWTOR after my Sith Inquisitor reached 50. To be honest, I was feeling a bit meh prior to that, but since she hit level cap I can’t escape the feeling that she’s “done”. I have alts of almost every other class, but don’t have the energy to start seriously …
Part One is located here. The following two videos are what I assume is the conclusion of the Sith Inquisitor Andronikos Revel storyline. (According to the forums, once you get married that’s pretty much it. Your companion won’t talk to you anymore, rather like some real-life scenarios.) The romance-novel relationship continues, with Andronikos being very …
WARNING: This is a long, video-heavy, spoiler-laden post. Videos and major spoilers beyond the cut. Andronikos Revel is without doubt one of my favourite companions. The storyline is pure romance-novel stuff, wherein the heroine meets the bad-boy pirate, they fall in love, and she manages to rehabilitate him and turn him into a loving, faithful …
Welcome to a bright shiny new year. I have high hopes for 2012, since I am determined to operate under the naive assumption that it can’t rain all the time…surely some years have to have good weather? In any event, I’m being positive. I’ve been working on Clockwork Bluebird edits and revisions, and have just …
We’re still enjoying Star Wars, although both Phil and I seem to have terminal alt-itis. Our highest characters are 23, and I think we’ve created alts in every class, most around the 10-15 level presently. Some we level together and some are played separately. The RP server I rolled on was taken over by Russians, …
Grrr…yet another kick in the teeth for players from EA/Bioware. Although everyone gets a month of free gametime as part of the game, you have to provide credit card details in order to play. Fair enough, but warn people. Having worked hard all morning writing SEO copy, I was looking forward to playing…and found that …
