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 …

Thoughts and images from Aion’s open beta
I had a chance to log in to the open beta twice since they’ve opened the doors. My experience has, so far, been very good. Since I’d played in the Chinese version, I wasn’t expecting too much different from what I’d already experienced but as someone who’s been following the game pretty closely, I had …
Speaking from the recesses…
This is what happens when WoW exclusionaries feel threatened. Feel bad for Dravi. He was that house elf in Harry Potter, right?
Appreciating the little things
You know, when we’re playing a game, a lot of times we take little details for granted. I know that I’m guilty of that, instead focusing on issues like PvP, questing, spells, and the rest of the store front systems we’re so used to discussing. Today, I’d like to take a moment and look at …
Aion: wait, you got HOW MUCH xp for that kill?!
Okay, so if that’s how much xp you get for one boss kill at level 47, can you imagine how much she needs to level? Adma Castle looks like a very atmospheric instance though, which I love for immersing myself in a game. Cool stuff. Now, if Fylina does that instance another 17,856 times, she …
Enough with this WoW Clone crap
I’ve heard this thought echoed across the internet for months now and it’s getting a little old. Aion Online is not a “WoW Clone.” By repeating that little bleet, all you’re doing is proclaiming your ignorance of what the game is even about. What is it that makes a game a clone of WoW anyways? …
A Month at Warcraft: the first five levels (and reminded of Aion)
Since I’m spending this month getting re-acquainted with WoW, I thought that it might be a good idea to share this revisit with you all. We all know that “going home” isn’t always the same as when you first started, for better or worse. I’m not going to spend a lot of time in this …
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 …
Fun Fact: In Aion, you can become a raid boss
The current Abyss Point leader at any given time would have the ability to turn into a massive beast, the equivalent of a raid boss. That player would become far more powerful, but would also become enemy number one for opponents, the idea being that the current leader would change from player to player often. …
