So you’ve decided to give Dungeons and Dragons Online a try, and maybe you’ve even decided to buy some Turbine Points. In this post I will describe the races, and classes that are available with Turbine Points, and why they might (or might not) be worth buying; in future posts I’ll talk about account options [...]

If you follow me on Twitter, you probably already know that my favorite game of the moment is Dungeons and Dragons Online. I had originally tried it way back at launch and thought it had potential, but given that it was exclusively group-focused at that time, I thought I’d probably find it frustrating. Last fall, [...]

Way back at the launch of Lord of the Rings Online, the first character I stuck with past the early levels was a Hobbit Burglar. He was one of two (the other being a Loremaster) I hit the level cap with, right around the time Evendim was released. But then I set him aside in [...]

I’ve been playing Lord of the Rings Online again. Although I take breaks from time to time, I’ve been at it consistently since launch. I have a lifetime subscription, so there really isn’t any pressure to keep playing or stop paying, like with other MMOs. Recently, I hit the level cap on a third character, [...]

Last time, I mentioned that I had rerolled my Illusionist. Zogan the Ratonga has been grinding his way through the tier 3 zones since then with combat experience turned off, so that I can take the game a bit slower. Later on this slows things down too much, but in the 20s you still level [...]

For someone who takes forever to make even the simplest decision, I can be tremendously fickle when it comes to MMOs, at least until I’ve made a commitment. Elithia, the character I wrote about just one post ago, is gone. Okay, maybe not gone, but mothballed until I need her slot for something else. Instead, [...]

Meet Elithia. She’s one of my EverQuest 2 characters — not my main but currently my favorite alt. She’s an Illusionist, in her mid-20s as I write this, and does Provisioning as a trade skill. It took me quite a while to decide on her class, because EQ2 has so many options it can be [...]

What do you get when you combine free-for-all PvP, collision detection so players can’t walk through one another, and mounted combat? Perhaps something like this, from Age of Conan: Ouch.

Recently my WoW guild (The Shortbread Army) made a group effort to start characters on the Horde side. For me, and probably others, this was a great excuse to try out a class or two that we had never played extensively before. Since my main on the Alliance side is a bear druid and a [...]

Originally I had a long post here covering my first impressions of Age of Conan, the new MMORPG that launched last week, but the I realized that I’d never finish and post it. Instead, I’m just going to comment on one aspect of the game, and if I never get around to posting the rest, [...]
