I continued my UO adventure tonight by trying out some combat and finding a new place to mine.  I was shown a really nice mountain to mine west of Britain where I was able to make a few thousand gold and meet a few players.  In UO players are able to set up houses anywhere [...]

It has a bug where every time you zone it turns off the check box for displaying your helm. This would be a minor inconvenience if it wasn’t for the fact that I really screwed up my character’s look on launch day

Damn I’m so fugly!

In other…

Tonight was blast from the past night.  I installed Ultima Online and StarCraft Brood Wars!
Ultima Online… my gosh.  Total 1998 rush.  I never really got into Ultima Online back then.  I played on a friend’s account (I still have his CD… never returned it, oops)  and usually just explored.  We’ve told the story before of [...]

Greetings!

We have the following Hot Fixes for you this evening:

Abilities

• Immovable: Fixed an issue in which this immunity was using an incorrect icon. PLEASE NOTE: Players will need to restart the game for this fix to take effect.

Tomb of the Vulture Lord

• The Temple of Ualatp Public Quest has been temporarily disabled and the door leading into the Tomb of the Vulture Lord has been propped open.

Items

• Description text has been updated on all bundled currency items to clarify what the expected results should be from converting them.

Just a reminder, tomorrow at 5:00 PM we will begin the first ever Powerplay SF4 Tournament. Here’s a quick rundown of the info:

- Registration fee is $10, which includes the $5 venue fee

- Official platform is Xbox 360, but we will try to have a PS3 setup also available for those who prefer.

- Bring your own controller or stick. This is VERY important. We will try and have classic pads and fightpads available, but if you prefer a stick, bring your own.

- Start time is 5:00 PM, but I suggest showing up by 4:00 PM for early registration and to get warmups in.

- We will be playing on in-house monitors, which will be tested beforehand to ensure we are using the ones with less lag.

Full info is at the link below, I hope to see you there!

Another busy week for WAR,  February has been a very interesting month for the game.  In this weeks news, we have several Ironclad videos, articles from Mythic, a new guide and more.  1.3.4 is live and the WAR population has swelled with…

A bunch of us were chatting on vent last night about Warhammer novels. Amongst it’s player base WAR has a lot of people that have played the tabletop games, read the books and know the whole Gamesworkshop empire very well. However since not everyone …

I was ruminating over the difficulty of WoW yesterday, and as luck would have it, a blue post over at MMO champion caught my eye.
Players try to play that card a lot, that skill isn’t a big deal because the mechanics are all pretty easy to understand, and therefore it’s the class mechanics that are [...]

Have you been keeping up on all these MMO’s being announced or picking up some face time while making the rounds on the usual sites?  I haven’t.  From the “meh” screenshots to the titles that make you simply wonder why, it’s borderline shovelware and mostly forgettable stuff.  I’m also seeing a lot of games being  [...]

No big comment..just look at the career distribution and think for yourself. Maybe I’ll add my comment on this..but right now I think that the screenshots tell enough..
Please note: I’m aware that there are several characters appearing twice and this has no real value in terms of population.. but I just had to laugh at [...]

So here we have a new producers letter from Carrie Gouskos, who has taken over from Bruce MacLean as WAR’s new Franchise Producer. Apparently Carrie’s job, alongside Jeff Hickman, is no less than planning the future and vision of WAR. One must ask …

Yesterday, Mythic released the February Producers Note on us all.  It weighs in at over 1,600 words and is full of interesting information.  The biggest news is Carrie Gouskos has taken over as WAR’s Franchise Producer.  She had quite a …
