More mini-pets is always a good thing. Many players were greeted with a nice collection upon logging into the Dragon Bash festival. Three came in the mail, while a fourth came from drops. Unfortunately, i haven’t had the chance to acquire the fifth one yet. While neat and fitting of the theme, i find them a little difficult to see.
Read moreI was greeted with a pleasant surprise Thursday morning with a ARR beta invite in my box which i was anxiously awaiting for a while. I was super excited to hop back into the MMO i had waited years for prior to it’s initial release a few years ago, of which i dubbed “the worst MMO I’d ever played.
Read moreI’ve made it no secret how much i absolutely love GW2’s dye system. I’m crossing my fingers and hoping all future MMO’s adopt the quantity and ease of use of this system. Being able to dye multiple parts of every piece of gear at any time is just amazing. No need to go to an NPC or home town or
Read moreYeah yeah yeah, this is what a blogroll is for but i thought it deserved it’s own post. These are some of my favorite reads that i enjoy when i have a moment. Some blogs are updated more frequently than others but check em out, leave comments, and enjoy. I’m always looking out for more interesting reads as I’m sure
Read moreWhen i first saw these pics i became pretty annoyed. I looked at them as a first step into in-game advertising, which is obviously a terrible idea. No one wants their fantasy space invaded by more corporate nonsense or any sort of real life product placement. Keep that junk out of my MMO! After my initial annoyance, i
Read moreI’m not sure what possessed me to log onto GW2 after a month off and plop down half of my gold on a back piece. I’m blaming it on my incessant need to organize and clean up my inventory, which was a mess the last time i logged in. My bank filled with not only fractal currency but row
Read moreDontain tossed up a video today showing off some data mined features from the Wildstar beta client. The class selection shows off 9 possible classes in the game, but I’m not sure about some of them personally. One of the options is for an Elementalist, which doesn’t seem to fit the game theme at all with that name at least.
Read moreI was on a serious nostalgia trip the past week, much like i always am, and it got me thinking back to camping this little bastard. So many sleepless nights lost and so many days of being a complete zombie at work because of a silly little crab. King Arthro was one of, if not the, most camped world spawns
Read moreTake 2, Square Enix. Despite my total disappointment with 1.0, which i considered the worst MMO I’d ever played, I plan on giving ARR a solid chance to redeem the franchise for me. So far, I’ve seen lots of positives from beta footage to feedback from friends in the beta itself. It appears as if SE has finally
Read moreThis is a hot topic, top level, DEFCON 1 issue for me when it comes to MMO’s. The most recent FFXIV blog post got me thinking more into why character customization is usually so overlooked in the grand scheme of all that is MMO development. Is it a time and resource issue or do devs actually think it’s not that
Read moreSource I can’t say I’m surprised that it’s happening but i am shocked it took this long. I was sure Rift would be heading down this path prior to GW2’s launch, which never happened. This announcement strikes me as a bit odd at the timing though. Perhaps they’ve reached do or die status or perhaps it’s just time. I
