Courtest of Lagwar.com
This was too cool to pass up. One of my teammates over at Lagwar sent in a fan letter to the Fallen Earth team… on the back of a head. No, I’m being for real. He sent a full-RP letter, written on the back of a skull, and demanded swag. I’m not sure [...]

Look at this, the one year marker for this site has come and gone and I didn’t even notice. Sunday was this blog’s first birthday and I’m very happy with how this past year has gone.
During that time, I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing Darren, Tobold, and Larisa. I’ve started a podcast and found great friends [...]

Reading through the recent edition of the Mog Log over at Massively, the topic of FFXI’s infamous 18 hour boss fight was brought up. This is the kind of thing that frightens people away from Final Fantasy MMOs, and rightfully so. 18 hours is too long for any boss; a single hour turns the fight into [...]

Over the course of my last couple years MMO hopping, I’ve noticed a great divide in how some games approach progression. Effectively, your time in a game can be broken down into a series of micro activities and macro activities. Micro activities would be things such as questing, crafting, and exploring the zone you’re in. Macro [...]

This is just a quick post to let you all know about a contest my buddy Ferrel is running. As you may know, he’s a co-host on the A View From the Top podcast and an all around guild-leading guru. Well, Icarus Studios took notice and gave him a crop of free Fallen Earth account keys, [...]

Is this the state of the MMO industry?
In one of the most poignant and well written posts on the topic I’ve seen, Wolfshead blames Blizzard for the stagnation that’s he sees as plaguing the MMO industry. He has a lot of good reasons why he feels this way, not the least of which being that [...]

Happy Tuesday Folks,
Another week, another Multiverse. Riknas was under the weather this week, so it was just Ferrel and I, with Ferrel at the helm. I’ve gotta say, I kind of like being a co-host. And a harvest queen– you’ll just have to listen to get that one.
Ferrel was in rare form, too. I’m pretty sure [...]

Oi, I’d be a little concerned if I was a Fallen Earth fan. Coming down the gauntlet today (via ITG, via the Escapist), we hear that Icarus Studios laid off a big chunk of its workforce.
Actually, the initial report claimed that they had “closed their doors” but that may not be exactly true. Shortly after [...]

Happy Friday Everyone,
Today, I have some good news to announce: I’ve officially been hired on as Lagwar‘s newest writer! You probably know them from their popular podcasts, such as Lifenet for Fallen Earth. They’re also one of the few blogs to be mention on WoW’s official homepage. Not to mention, this is especially cool because I’ve [...]

Anyhow, this week we’re pleased to be joined by Cindy from the MMO Voices podcast and the Dream Bytes blog. We have a great time doing our [...]
