Ah that first climb to max level. How can anyone forget their first time in whichever MMO they were playing? It’s just one of those special memorable experiences that anyone that loves this genre should never forget. I’m sure there were a lot of good and bad moments in everyone’s first time, but you stuck with it and here we

Today i thought i’d use one of Belghast’s “Ten Random Topic Prompts” as my post idea. The one that stuck out to me the most out of that list was talking about a favorite item or drop from any game ever. While i’ve certainly had a few memorable ones for sure, there’s always one that makes it to the top

Continuing on from yesterday’s post about my first MMORPG, i thought i’d get into the first ever character i created as well as where his name came from. Well surprise surprise, it wasn’t actually Ald. No, my first ever character was named Saxon and he was and remained a lowby hume (human) Red Mage in FFXI. My first passion has

I thought i’d spend today on a bit of a nostalgia trip and talk about when and where my obsession with MMORPG’s began. I wish i could say i was in on the ground floor, so to say, but my journey began years after the first generation of Ultima Online, EverQuest, and Asheron’s Call launched the genre in the late

After spending yesterday discussing how i thought BfA may not be worth playing, i thought i’d spend today talking about which class i’m going to play in said expansion! I mean that totally makes sense if you think about it for a while. What good is an expansion not worth playing if you don’t pick a class to play in

What is this? It can’t possibly be the lead up to an expansion only a few weeks away can it? By golly i think it is! I had to actually check online to make sure i wasn’t missing something or did something wrong because this couldn’t possibly be it. Unfortunately this is what Blizzard thought would be an acceptable patch

Oh what a time to return to blogging after a two year hiatus. After a relaxing few years away from having to maintain a blog and finding stuff to post about, i’ve returned just in time to drive myself to the point of madness in another attempt to survive Blaugust yet again. The first, last, and only time i participated

Scrolling through my daily blogroll the other day made me realize i’ve come back just in time for this years Blaugust event. I’ve not participated in that since 2015, which was also my first time taking up the challenge. Hmm, i did sort of stop blogging shortly after that didn’t i? Coincidence? Hehe, no but really i’m excited for this

The long awaited day is finally here. The day of rest, if you will. The great Blaugust experiment has concluded and i’m still alive, albeit tired and cranky. When i began this journey a month ago, i had no idea what would be in store. Would i have enough material i wanted to share on a daily basis for an

Raids in my GW2? Well i shouldn’t really call it “my” since i’ve not played for almost two years now. Regardless, when i heard ArenaNet were implementing 10-man raids with the new expansion, i couldn’t help but sit up in my chair and get excited. I immediately clicked over to their website to see how much they were changing

I’ve been in quite the mount drought for some time now in WoW. It’s definitely not for a lack of trying that’s for sure. It’s just been one of those extended periods where nothing seems to drop. Luckily for me, those times are often followed by short windows where mounts seem to fall from the sky. I’m talking two
Read moreAgainst my better judgement, and i know i’m going to regret this later, i’m really looking forward to Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen. That is, if it ever actually sees the light of day. Yes the same MMO being developed by Brad McQuaid of EverQuest fame. Yes the same person that gave us the debacle that was Vanguard: Saga of
