My First Great Adventure in Darkfall

Wow. That’s all I can say after tonight’s run in Darkfall. Just, wow. I logged in fairly late to run through a couple of starter quests with a good friend who just downloaded the trial today. After killing goblins for a few minutes, I suggested heading out towards a skeleton camp a little ways outside …

Two Crashes in Two Weeks; The End of Dragon Age and Vanguard; The (re)Beginning of Darkfall

I’ve had the worst luck with hard drives these past two weeks. First, I had one die on me right after recording Episode 22 of The Multiverse. I went out, caught a couple of 500GB drives on sale at Best Buy, put them in, and was happy with my new terrabyte. Yesterday morning, however, I …

The Multiverse – Episode #22: “The Greenest Grass is Always Lego”

Happy Hump Day Folks! We’re back this week with the much delayed Episode 22 of The Multiverse: MMO Radio. We first tried this show back on the ninth – right before real names on the forums got canceled – but, as luck would have it, my hard drive crashed and the show was lost. But, …

Guided Experience: How Much Handholding is Too Much Handholding?

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. …

Things look ‘meh for Mortal Online

I’ve been following Mortal Online since before Darkfall hit retail. The game promised a lot of cool features in a totally sandbox environment. It was the Ultima Online for this generation of gamers, all wrapped in a beautiful 3D veneer. Except, with launch sometime within the next two weeks (all we know is “March 2010”), …

Whatever Happened To: Alignments?

My last post made me feel a little nostalgic this weekend. Like most of us, I look back at the first MMOs I played and sometime feel the need to rekindle those old feelings. Well, actually, it’s MUDs in my case, but whatever.  As I stepped back in, it hit me. I left out a …

The Multiverse – Episode #10: “Linear, Shminear!”

Hey Gang, Well, we made it into the double digits! Join us this week as we celebrate hitting our 10th episode, with the help of our friends in the chat room! This show was a blast to record. It was full of laughs and good spirits, as we talked about what we’ve been playing and …

Someone finally killed me

Well, I knew it would eventually happen and a few days ago it actually did. Somebody ganked me in Darkfall. To sum up the day to that one event wouldn’t be fair though, since it was more exciting than most others I’ve had there since I resubbed. I started out in the Human city of …

Returning to Agon

I decided today that I’m going to give Darkfall Online another shot. My subscription to Fallen Earth has just lapsed, so instead of going in for another month, I figure that it’s time to revisit this old favorite. I know, words of travesty to many of you. Darkfall, a favorite?! It can’t be. Who am …

Perception Massively

Someday, a hand shall reach down and bear the lost knowledge that perception really is reality. What I see (the King’s I, which is really you), is what I believe, and what I’ll tell, and shout from the rooftops; how something is presented is more important than how it actually works. And, really, how I …
