We may not be in Azeroth anymore, but we’ll certainly come back to take you with us! I love it when companies take advantage of flexible loyalties like this. It’s all kinds of sneaky and clever and funny. Kind of makes you wonder how Blizzard feels now that they’re linking back to WoWhead on the …

Rift: Breaking the Trend… of Big Boobs? [RW]
The following is a cross-post of something I wrote for Rift Watchers today. I know not all of you read over there and I thought you’d find this interesting, so here we are 🙂 From now on, I’ll tag cross posts with [RW]. Note: You wouldn’t believe how hard it was to come up with …

On this episode we talk about the changes to invasions over betas five and six, the updates racials, the new ancient wardstone system, and lots more.

From MMOGs to POGs
Scarybooster had a post up last week that I’m in total agreement with. In it, he talks about why he’s finally decided to leave WoW. Another veteran player leaving the game wouldn’t necessarily warrant its own post but the points Scary raises are worth talking about. I took note of it not because it criticizes …

Hey Guys, Just a head’s up to point you over to Rift Watchers latest release. This past Wednesday, Gavin was able to sit down with Nick McDowell and Morgan Lockhart.

Update: Well, looks like PSOM was wrong. L.A. Noire just announced a May release date. Wow, March is fast approaching and it feels like November. We have some very big things approaching: Rift, Dragon Age 2, L.A. Noire, and, of course, the 3DS. Let’s see…that’s, what, about $400+ in goodies to buy? I don’t think …
My Concerns About Rift
As someone who regularly contributes to a Rift fansite, I’ve been accused of being a bit “fanboi” on more than one ocassion. Generally, I don’t give much credence to that kind of claim because it tends to come anonymous or one-stop-to-troll visitors. Not everyone embraces the MMO Nomad playstyle like I do I can see where that’s …
Reflections On My First Day In Rift Beta #4
You know who inspires me? Bullet Points Blog. In honor of his steadfastness to all things bullet point, I present to you my reflections from Rift’s fourth beta event: People who say that combat is boring must have played warriors. I brushed off my paladin (a warrior class) from the first beta event and thought …
Rift Watchers Podcast – Episode #1 – NDA-Free is the Way to Be!
Note: Don’t worry, these cross-posts won’t continue forever. I’ve been sharing things over here that I thought my readers might enjoy — and trying to get a little extra exposure. While some Rift-centric things that I feel are of interest to MMO players will still get posted at both places, consider adding that feed to …
Why Rift is the First Real “Answer” to World of Warcraft
This post is also featured on our Rift fansite and blog, Rift Watchers. Temporarily cross-posting to build awareness 🙂 Little Caveat: I’m not saying that Rift is perfect or “the answer” to what everyone wants in an MMO. Or that it’s necessarily better than any of the games listed below. I’m a lifetimer to LotRO …
