Word on the street has it that Blizzard is planning some big changes for the WoW raiding game come Cataclysm. The current plan, as I understand it, is that 10 and 25 man raids will now drop the same gear. There’s a little more to it, so here’s the bullet list from MMO Champion: 10-Man …

First Days in Everquest 2
Happy Monday, folks! As I mentioned on a recent episode of our podcast, I never quite felt like I gave Everquest 2 a proper chance. Several of my friends and favorite bloggers play it almost exclusively, so I’ve always felt a bit of a gap in my MMO knowledge by not having played more of …
Breaking Free of the End-Game
Unlike a lot of gamers, I really like to level. Questing is fun and seeing that golden ring light up around you character as you ding is satisfying like nothing else I’ve experienced to date. Heck, I liked leveling up before I even knew what questing was. Each new ding was a mark of power. …
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 …

Adding PvP to a PvE game
Last night, when we recorded episode six of The Multiverse, one of the big topics was battlegrounds being added into Everquest 2. Ferrel is pretty adamantly against it and I don’t blame him. He’s concerned about how PvP balancing will effect the PvE game. As a raider, what to some people is just a change …
Do we have a right to our characters?
I listened to the latest episode of Shut Up, We’re Talking last night and an interesting topic came up that’s too intriguing to pass on discussing. Generalizing will oversimplify the topic, so here’s a piece of the question that was asked, “is that effort [you put into your character] yours in any concrete way” and, …
