Graev let me play his copy of Torchlight the past few days since he’s been enthralled by Dragon Age: Origins almost every waking moment of the day. I decided to go with the Warrior looking guy (Is that even what he is… a Warrior? I don’t even know). I’m actually ...

I can only count on one hand the number of regrets I have for MMO’s, not counting the regrets I have for buying or playing. I’m talking about regrets I have for stopping or skipping playing a MMO. It’s that “Ugh, If only I had…” feeling. Sometimes ...

The Lord of the Rings Online
The time has come for another Fantasy theme sandbox game. We haven’t had a true one — a good one — in so many years. I’m playing Fallen Earth, thinking about UO and SWG and how fantastic elements of these games are/were and then I think about the themepark model and ...

Fallen Earth
Looks like a scene from Diablo 3
I’ve heard pretty much nothing about this game, aside from seeing it’s name pop-up here and there on a few news sites I frequent, and initially wrote it off as some obscure indie PC title that most likely wasn’t worth my time or money. ...

The one thing that will keep me from subscribing to Fallen Earth is the horrific lag I get in cities/outposts. I do not believe I’m the only one getting it, but from my questions in Help chat and the lack of response it appears that I might be in the minority. Whenever I enter a city I ...

Although our Blog was started in February of 2007, we like to use Halloween as a sort of benchmark for where we’re at each year. 2007 was spent in EQ2, 2008 was in WAR, and 2009 is being spent in Aion.
Halloween marks the end of a season, in a way. When it comes to MMO’s, their ...

Riding off into the sunset
Fallen Earth has really captured the deepest parts of what first attracted me to MMORPGs. I’m constantly running into things which are totally unknown to me and the entire time I am logged in I never once come across anything that feels intuitive. ...

Keen Dakeen, my FE Character
I’ve been wanting to try Fallen Earth for a while since every time I post something there is someone saying “Keen, you should try Fallen Earth”. The opportunity presented itself yesterday with a free 15-day trial Key. I downloaded the client ...

My Chanter is about 5% away from dinging 30 and I spent three hours this evening in a really frustrating group. There’s a campaign quest dealing with Three Keys to gain access to the Fire Temple Instance and in order to complete it you must take a full group into the Sky Temple (I think ...

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry right now. I was certainly crying when I read about this yesterday on Shacknews .
“We’ve been building up this system on the backend called IW Net, to allow matchmaking for our PC users just like you have on the console,” Infinity ...

I dinged 29 tonight and sped through about
40% of it in Training Camp (I went in
at 98% through 28 so that I could ding 29 inside and get exp there. 29+ can not enter). I decided that tonight was going to be an ideal night to craft because family ...

Keen at level 26 I’ve been really pushing
my Aion play-time the past few days. There hasn’t
been a lot of time for me to really dig my heels in and enjoy the game in long bursts because of busy school schedules and RL friends. ...

My Amazing Aion Weekend Brings a Whole New Perspective
I’m in the Dawntide Beta (Phase 2, I think?) now. As you know there is no NDA.
I downloaded the client which was about 370mb’s compressed and 1.21 GB installed. I logged in and played for about 20 minutes quickly to just get a feel for where the game is at. In my opinion, ...

They’re not MMORPG’s anymore!
People are split right now on the subject of whether or not Aion’s leveling is too long/tedious/grindy/etc. I’m going to focus on three schools of thought:
1. It takes forever to level
2. Aion has a lot of grinding.
3. Regardless, it’s not as big a deal as older ...

Truly sad how quickly we leave behind past
points on the curve today... …very dangerous over short
distances. (5 points to whoever can identify the adapted movie quote first) I was playing Aion today when I started to think how I felt at ...

We MMO Players are natural sprinters…
This one is going to sound kind of weird, I know. I think too much emphasis is being placed on our happiness as players, as characters, in our mmorpgs now. Note that I am not saying happiness is a bad thing, but rather the degree that developers are going to, or the amount of emphasis being ...

I was talking with some friends last night about EQ’s community. We were discussing how, back in the day, EQ players were extremely cooperative especially when it came to camps of mobs. For the most part, when you had an area or a specific spawn/camp staked out the rest of the community ...
