Hey Gang, We’re over our first big hump and coming back to you with Episode #11 of The Multiverse: MMO Radio. See that? I used our tag line. I always find using tag lines a little awkward, don’t you? Ah well. This week, we jump in and talk about buying gold, alternative advancement, and why …

Six reasons I’m excited for Final Fantasy 14 (FFXIV)
I got my PS3 for one main reason: Final Fantasy 14. The funny thing is, when I’ve told people about this, a lot of them think I’m crazy. On friend even asked me if I hated myself that much. Considering the reputation FFXI earned, I’m guess I’m not surprised people would be skeptical. Yet, at …
Once more into the drought
The last wing of Icecrown Citadel is set to open in World of Warcraft today and, with it, the final big encounter of Wrath of the Lich King: the face off with Arthas. For the next few weeks, servers will be alive with activity as guilds focus on taking down this final baddie and officially …
The Multiverse – Episode #6: “Guest Starring: Karen”
Aloha, dear readers, We’re on schedule this week, and present you with Episode Six of The Multiverse podcast! We were joined by Karen from A View From the Top and Shut Up, We’re Talking podcasts, as well as the Journey’s With Jaye blog. In honor of her stopping by, we decided to talk about guilds …
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 …
This kind of player is no longer welcome in WoW
Courtesy of Tobold’s Blog, we have a relic of a long past age. I wonder what will happen when he finally gets that this kind of mentality is what Blizzard is working against? Raiding is obsolete only if you want to look good in your welfare epics. But, truth be told, there’s still the Battlegear …
The last refuges of elitism
As people, I think we’re prone to judgment of one another. I mean, think about it, we judge people all the time. In the supermarket, at school, at work, we’re prone to appraising our fellow man. It’s not always in the snouty, look down your nose, kind of way. If for nothing else, we do …
Wetting my feet in raiding
This past week has been an eventful one for me. I’ve been working to get back into WoW and I think I’ve found my groove again. I have my rotations down and my keybinds rememorized and, not least of all, I have my UI in working order and fully functional again. One of the best …
Return to WoW, pt. 2
Over the few days since we last talked, I’ve been spending most of my game time in World of Warcraft. It’s a funny thing and I liken it to going out on a date with an old ex-girlfriend. It’s a little awkward and a little familiar and you’re not quite sure about what important things …
The problem with grouping
For the longest time, I wasn’t a fan of grouping. I played solo, talked in guild chat, and was happy with only teaming up when it was time to run a dungeon. It stands in contrast to how I’d played MUDs beforehand. I had been social before and would meet up with friends I’d made …
