For the longest time, I wasn’t a fan of grouping. I played solo, talked in guild chat, and was happy with only teaming up when it was time to run a dungeon. It stands in contrast to how I’d played MUDs beforehand. I had been social before and would meet up with friends I’d made …

I can’t get no — satisfaction?
For some reason, whenever I think of that song all I can think about is Aretha Franklin belting out sock to me! (just a little bit) over and over again. It’s my little earbug from the queen of soul. Music references aside, I’ve had a strange thing happen to me this last year. I’ll be …
Taking Ardwulf to task
Usually, I like to keep to myself when it comes to disagreeing with other bloggers. I don’t like conflict and I believe that everyone is entitled to their opinion. Yet, if we think back to Eurogamer’s initial review of Darkfall, was that just? People were upset because a reviewer on a big name site was …
MMO first dates
This article is all in fun. Take it with a grain of salt 😉 Gordon’s right, MMOs are a lot like women and, *stretch*, you might say that I’ve been around the block once or twice. Yes, I’ve tapped on many a keyboard and wiggled a fair share of mice in my day. But, when …
You got your duck sauce in my soy!
One of the things I love about blogging at MMO Voices is that I get to hear the opinions of people that are passionate about the same type of game as I am. We share our thoughts on game design, systems and mechanics, and relate recent experiences we may have had while playing. It also …
Exploration: may you rest in piece
I had a lot of fun when I played WoW seriously. Coming from a history steeped in MUDs, the idea that I could run and meet any object I saw on the horizon was extraordinary. The prospect of actually being able to climb up a mountain is something a good friend of mine was giddy …
10 things to know about Aion Online
With the release of Aion Online looming ever closer (and open beta starting tomorrow), I thought it might be a good idea to get some kind of basic points out there for people that a teetering on the edge of joining. If you’ve been following it for some time, you may have heard some of …
Darkfall: The Destiny of Indie MMOs?
You know, there’s a lot of great things I’d like to say about Darkfall. Like, how they’re setting a new precedent for patch releases and content upgrades. How they’re the premiere competitor for any MMO company releasing patches. How they’re more of a true MMO than any of the current crop of Disneyland games overwhelming …
The real impact of cross server dungeons
One of the lesser known tidbits of information to come out of Blizzcon is that WoW will soon support cross server dungeons. This is an update they plan to release before the expansion hits in one of the few remaining major patches headed our way. When I first read about this, I was ecstatic. As …
A Month at Warcraft
I decided today that I’m going to resubscribe to WoW until Aion Online launches in September. I’ve been dangling dangerously at the precipice of resubbing for a while now, especially since MMO-Champion leaked all of the details on the upcoming expansion but what officially made me take the dive was visiting a couple of friends …
