Fallen Earth recently made a small but significant change with how PvP works. For more information about PvP, check out the recent developer interview. The change in question is:Changed the radar on the mini-map so that it shows other players based o…

When I first wrote this down as a topic, I was still resident on my original server and had yet to be touched by the Mythic/GOA population compression software WinWar. So in my mind, against all the evidence I still imagined things moving forward and maybe, just maybe the populations growing again. But what is effectively an enforced move [...]

Recently, I took a trip with some family to an amusement park. While walking around, we came across a carnival game. You know the one where you compete with others over who can shoot the most water into a clowns mouth? Yeah, that’s that’s it. This …

Aion’s open beta has ended but I only have to wait 6 days before Headstart begins!
Quick note: If you’ve pre-ordered, NCSoft has posted an update about the pre-select.  Looks like you can only create/save two characters.  Two is better than none so I’m still happy.
Here are some things I learned while playing the beta events [...]

It’s becoming more and more difficult to get on the computer and that’s not a result of my busy schedule.   For the past few weeks my monitor has been on the fritz.  I couldn’t figure out why when I turned it on the picture would come up for a split second then go away.  I [...]

Recently, I had a chance to talk with Wes Platt who is one of the developers on Fallen Earth. He was kind enough to answer some questions for posting on this site. Thanks Wes! Fallen Earth is currently in pre-order launch access mode and will be o…

If you caught the news about a week or so ago, you will be aware that the tanking classes will be seeing the addition of a new ability, Stagger, a 9 – 12 second ability/movement lockdown. Very similar to the ability I acquire once I leave the pub on a Saturday night.
It’s my not so humble [...]

Thank you for your continued support.

I’m not sure what made me resubscribe to Warhammer Online yesterday, but a few minutes of doing dailies in WoW and then staring at a screen feeling absolutely no compulsion to continue, had me [...]

I had a surprising moment a while back when I was choosing which of my World of Warcraft level 70 characters I would take up to 80. My first idea was to use my old “main”, a fury DPS specced Warrior. What I discovered was directly comparing charact…

Yep, it’s sadly going to the giant server farm in the clouds. Currently we have 4 english speaking servers in Europe and that’s soon going to be 3, which is now only one more english server than during the whole of my DAOC lifetime. Infact, if I look at the German and French server numbers, then there hardly any [...]

I quite often do. I’ve always had one main game, which will take up the vast majority of my online gaming time, but I regularly have at least one other MMO active that I tinker with a little. I tend to find with my main MMO that once you reach the en…

IGN published a list of what they (or whoever wrote this since it’s credited just to “IGN Staff”) feel are the top 10 problems with MMOs.   Some of them are quite far-fetched and I believe they were added just so that this list could reach 10, but others on the list are relevant to the [...]

Get the Thing!

Get the guy with the Thing!

Kill the guy with the Thing!

That’s right, this weekend ushers in a return to everyone’s favorite Tier 2 Scenario; Mourkain Temple! Get in there for all of the brutal action as the forces of Order and Destruction attempt to get the Thing, kill the guy with the Thing and pretty much destroy everything in their path as they strive to complete all of this Weekend Event’s tasks and earn the title “Marshreaper!”

The “Battlemarsh” Weekend Event will start tomorrow morning, September 11th, and continue on until Monday morning, September 14th. So get in there and do something to your enemies!

WAAAAGH!
