For your Friday reading pleasure, may I present an interview I did for Grinding to Valhalla. It offers a bit of insight to why I blog and other such important topics.If you do not want to read about yours truly, then maybe some of these links will tic…

Holy long-time since I’ve posted batman.  Sorry about that guys.   This has been a killer week on my time.  Good news though!  The game has been functioning great for me and I’ve been timing it just right to avoid the major queues.
I’m having a blast in Aion.  I reached level 16.5 tonight and I’ve had [...]

The once tranquil grounds of the Temple of Isha are soaked in the blood of WAR. Today marks the start of our next Weekend Event: Isha’s Sorrow. The forces of Order race to protect this sacred ground from the corruption of the armies of Destruction.

Should the forces of Destruction complete all of their tasks and successfully desecrate the Temple of Isha they will be awarded with the title of “Sorrowbringer” while those amongst the armies of Order who manage to successfully defend the temple and complete their tasks will find themselves dubbed as “Isha’s Champion”.

This Weekend Event has now begun and will run until Monday morning (9/28).

WAAAGH!

A bunch of us at work have shaved off our collection of magnificent beards and this month have been growing Moustaches of Uberness for charity. All cash raised goes to the Everyman charity which helps fight testicular and prostate cancer. Bloody good c…

I mean that literally. Until recently, the PvP areas were not marked on the map. As there are several areas and the sectors are just so huge it was a bit of a pain to find them. Speaking of the map, I like the look of it as it fits the game well. T…

Given the recent onslaught of new MMO’s onto the general gaming population, I’ve been getting the feeling that Mythic have been battening down the hatches. A kind of PR dead zone appears to exist within Mythic HQ at the moment. How many new articles have you seen? I am hoping it’s a strategic decision and [...]

While I still can’t play Aion, I may as well give my impressions of it up to this point. Don’t worry, it is not too colored by my current predicament I’ve actually played through the first part of the game twice, due to the server move. The good …

We will be bringing all North American servers offline at 9:00 AM EDT tomorrow to enable our newest weekend event: Isha’s Sorrow. At this time we anticipate that all servers will be back online no later than 12:00 PM EDT.

As always, please check the Herald for up to the minute information regarding this downtime.

Thank you for your continued support.

First, we have the huge queues that eliminated any kind of head start for many players. Then those who chose to move to lower population servers were met with “Can’t create a character” messages due to balance concerns. I have been effected by both i…

Yesterday, Fallen Earth officially launched! Compared to most modern MMO’s, Fallen Earth can be a bit difficult at the start. It’s learning curve is not as steep as EvE’s, but it isn’t flat either. I’ve started a new segment called Video Tips.The f…

Yes it’s yet another Aion queue post. Which really seem to be rather prevalent at moment. As an innocent bystander in this ongoing saga, I can be relatively ambivalent towards it all. Though I am honestly grateful that I’ve not got a burning desire to be playing Aion, because I’d probably be foaming at the mouth with frustration. 

I [...]

I’ve now been party to two and a half MMO launches.  It’s been a year and some since Warhammer released but I can’t say I had any problems with that launch.  At least nothing that immediately stands out.  The half would be Champions Online since I never did actually stay through release but the Open [...]

In an unexpected turn of events, Star Trek Online has announced you can level entirely by PvP. This is a huge and great surprise, at least for me. That is one of my favorite things about WAR. Although, I don’t mind PvE as much in the STO universe. …
