So you’ve decided to go casual

Greetings fellow casuals and welcome to your first lesson in the wonders of casualhood. It’s a strange game we play, you see. Some feel that we’re “doing it wrong” or “wasting our time” or that we should “go back to WoW.” To these people, we flip the bird. Seriously, they can screw off. You see, …

Always looking forward

One of my favorite things about following MMOs is the excitement that comes from looking forward to a new title. This year, it was Aion. Last year, it was WAR. Neither title could live up to the massive amount of hype it received even though both are fun games in their own right. As a …

Prediction about WoW’s armory

Within the next three months, the armory will be updated to allow you to view the status of your auctions and check your mail. Why? Because Aion has it. Nevermind that players have asked for it forever. Aion has it, so Blizzard, much like number one, will make it so. Two games that take the …

The first day of Aion in retrospect

Even though I was stuck at work for far too long yesterday, I was still able to spend a decent chunk of time in game when I got home. I arrived home at about 9PM EST and was able to login to the Lumiel server by 11:30. That was the worst part of the experience, …

That’s all well and good except for when people spread little bits of misinformation left and right. The current doom and gloom is all about endgame PvP. Some people would have …

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 …

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 …

Done with Aion China and other ruminations

I decided today that I won’t be logging in again to the Chinese version of Aion Online. The game is a lot of fun, taken for what it is, but I’ve still decided to take a step back. The main reason for this is that the American release is looming ever nearer. I have a …
