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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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:

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 [...]

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 [...]

It’s now a few weeks since the launch of Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa, and I’m enjoying it quite a bit — in small doses, at least. It’s sort of a hybrid game, combining the character development and gear collection of an MMORPG with continuous action combat that draws by the FPS genre. As [...]

I haven’t been posting much lately, because I have been enjoying World of Warcraft, the new massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) from Blizzard. Well, okay, perhaps “enjoying” is a bit of an understatement — “addicted” might be a better word, given that it is consuming all of my spare time (which normally would [...]
