So here I am at the end of the two week reactivation trial from Funcom for Age of Conan.
For the first couple of days I replayed old characters, primarily Stropp the Aquilonian Dark Templar, and to be honest with you I didn’t find that character very engaging. I didn’t feel ...

Professor Syp over at the Biobreak School of MMOGenomics and Appliance Repair has set all of us bloggers who also play Everquest 2 a little homework assignment . And just before the Thanksgiving holidays* too. Hrmph. What a killjoy!
The work he is asking us to do is to list five features of ...

A couple of new blogs have popped up on my radar over the last few weeks that have provided some insightful discussion into the topic of games, gaming, and game design. These are quality blogs that I’d like to give a shout out too.
First up, I saw a post by Wolfshead recommending a blog ...

If Conan wanted me back in the game , he has his wish, to a certain extent anyway.
I decided on Saturday afternoon to accede to the wishes of the muscle-bound warrior king and took Funcom up on their offer of two free weeks. After all, I didn’t really want 6′6″ of angry ...

Wow!
That exclamation isn’t because I’ve played it and have been thoroughly impressed, it’s because I’ve seen the sales figures for the first 24 hours, and then the price of the game on Steam.
In the first 24 hours MW2 sold over 4 million copies.
The price for ...

Like a few other bloggers today, this morning I received an email from Funcom offering a bunch of benefits to encourage me to resubscribe to Age of Conan.
These range from some free time to give the game another go, to a beta spot in The Secret World in exchange for a three month ...

Tobold has just posted a thought for today : That the EA Layoffs are due to the piracy of their games.
Now first of all, after re-reading, I’m not sure if he’s being serious or just being a tad sarcastic. For the purpose of this post, I’ll assume he’s being serious ...

The game-o-sphere is all a flurry about the big layoffs at Electronic Arts at the moment.
With 1500 job being dumped at EA, including 80 at Mythic which is a bit less than half their staff, you’d be forgiven for thinking that EA is in financial difficulty . And you’d be right as ...

They say every story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end.
Well, mine officially has a beginning.
I spent a few hours after I wrote my last (first) NaNoWriMo post trying to work out what my story is going to be about, and have a very thin (so far) theme.
I considered going the ...

Warning: This has some slight spoilage ahead, but not too much. I won’t be giving away storyline.
There are at least some quests in Dragon Age: Origins that have an element of time criticality, and I’m not all at sure if ’some’ should read as ‘all’ since ...

For the last couple of years I’ve intended to get involved in the NaNoWriMo event and spend November writing 50 to 60 thousand words on a subject of my choice — fictional of course, and probably SciFi or Fantasy.
Every year something has come up to thwart that intention. And this ...

There’s something that the big AAA MMORPG developers seem to be missing in their search for the Holy Grail of that World of Warcraft Killer.
The bar has been raised.
It doesn’t matter if World of Warcraft started life with more than a few bugs and far less content than it has ...

Blizzard is certainly having a rough time lately with the operation of World of Warcraft in China.
The transfer of the licence to a new operator didn’t go smoothly at all. The transfer of what must have been many terabytes of data kept Chinese players from the game for a long time. It ...

I don’t usually make a habit of posting release or patch notes for the games I play. For the most part these tend to be fairly widely reported if the game is popular. But on this occasion I think there’s merit in reporting the release notes for the tenth anniversary of ...

There’s nothing better. Getting up in the morning and checking under the tree for a prezzie or three.
Well this morning it’s a bit like that.
Of course the tree is the Steam client, and the prezzie is Dragon Age: Origins, but you get the idea.
Now I have to head off to work in ...

Sometimes it’s hard to fathom how fast time seems to pass by.
It doesn’t seem all that long ago when I played my first FPS, System Shock I on my new 486 laptop (DX2 66 FTW!) It also doesn’t seem that long ago that I installed my first MMORPG on my PC.
That MMORPG happened ...

Some games like Diablo 2 and Torchlight offer players the opportunity to play in hardcore mode. This option offers up greater rewards for taking the risk of permanent character death if that character is defeated.
Now Permadeath is one of those hot topics in MMORPGs. It tends to produce two, ...

MMOCrunch has a post about the time having come to merge my World of Warcraft account into Blizzard’s new Battlenet service. There’s still a bit of time though, since WoW won’t become unplayable without a Battlenet account until the 11th of November.
And since I unsubscribed ...
