I cancelled my WAR account yesterday. No, it’s
not that I don’t enjoy the game. I’m just
finding I haven’t got the time to play it these days. In fact, I haven’t played much of anything on the PC, just the odd Xbox 360 (often Arcade) game to kill time. I’m ...

Ack. Been a while since I posted anything,
hasn’t it? Yeah. Life has a funny way of
monopolizing any free time you think you have, and then you realize two weeks have gone by since your last post… ugh. Well, I’m here now, aren’t I? That’s what counts. *cough* ...

Apparently the folks over at Jolt Online have
a keen sense of humour, as they managed to
launch the latest iteration of the Zork franchise on the one day of the year that most wouldn’t contemplate launching a new product — aside from a statuatory holiday, of course. If you happen ...

So I finally caved in, after not playing
for a few weeks. I’ve been sick with some
kind of nasty stomach flu and off work for the last 4 days. Thus, feeling sorry for myself earlier in the week, I rolled a Choppa . FOTM ftw. Of course, the same could be said for the reams of Slayers ...

Microtransactions. There, I said it. A dirty word
to some in the gaming industry. Or maybe just
misunderstood and poorly implemented? There’s a commonly-shared belief in the gaming marketplace that games with no monthly fee that are microtransaction-supported are unpalatable to the ...

As I mentioned in my last post ,
I’ve been out in Austin, TX for the last
few couple of days for SXSW Interactive ‘09 . I’m still here, just getting caught up on the goings on of the MMO world while I’ve been away. Apparently I’ve been seriously out of the loop ...

Just a quick note to let y’all know
that I’m going to be away for the next
five or six days at the 2009 South by Southwest Interactive festival in Austin, TX. My other project, Protagonize , is a finalist for the web awards in the Community category, so I’m going to be down ...

If you’re anything like me (i.e. overworked, underpaid,
totally stressed out, and in your early 30s), and
was a gamer back in the ’80s and early ’90s, you probably played a few games in the Zork series. Infocom’s Great Underground Empire captivated the minds and ...

Dictionary: fence sitter n. Informal. One who takes
a position of neutrality or indecision, as in a
controversial matter. Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m a fence-sitter. Every time I see a negative post about Darkfall Online (err, the easiest to find are probably over here ), I see ...

Okay, so I’m shamelessly stealing this topic from
Tobold, but I noticed it in a recent post
on his blog and it got me to thinking about the current state of healing in MMOs. Back when I was a kid, I remember playing hockey in the gym at my elementary school. We had a pretty small ...

Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or
a raft ) for the last few days, you’re
probably aware of Darkfall Online’s raft (*cough*) of launch woes and pre-order backlog. Much has been made of the launch, with Keen giving a rather depressing, yet impartial review , along with ...

And so ends yet another hectic week where
I haven’t had much time to do anything remotely
resembling blogging. Getting caught up now, since I have Fridays off to work on my own projects (thanks to my having a very understanding — and flexible — day job.) Just a quick warning — the next ...

Haven’t heard of Champions Online ? I don’t
blame you. I hadn’t really heard anything about it
either — just the odd mention here and there — until I saw this post over at Bio Break a couple of weeks ago. Now I’m stoked. I have no idea how the game’s going to ...

From everything I’ve read, Darkfall Online is one
of those games that you’ll either love, or hate,
with a vengeance. There’s already a preponderance of vocal critics on both sides of the fence, and many of them have been around for a long time, either voicing their disdain — ...

As you may have noticed in today’s note
on the WAR Herald that the Night of Murder
live event has come and gone. I just wanted to give you guys a quick recap of my experience with the event. There’s been quite a bit of debate about this event, starting from the entertaining ...
