So this week I finally got exalted reputation with my guild. I still don’t quite get the entire idea behind earning reputation with a guild I was practically a founder member of via quests and instances, surely I should just be able to get rep from the guild officers/ GM. In any case, WoW being [...]

[GW2] Hands on with Guild Wars 2
Posted in general mmo, tagged demo, engineer, guild wars 2, gw2, hands on, norn, sdcc, starting area on July 29, 2011 | 13 Comments »
In case you are reading this and somehow not aware, Guild Wars 2 is a highly anticipated fantasy based MMO which builds on the lore from Guild Wars but is otherwise a completely different game. Current thinking is that it is probably due out next year. The first sight I had of the off-site Guild [...]
In which players start realising that making gold on the WoW AH is ultimately pointless
Posted in general mmo, tagged auction house, goblin, gold, wow on July 28, 2011 | 50 Comments »
This is an eloquent goodbye post from Caffeine, Smokes and Auction House Fees. He writes about his journey as a player from getting interested in making gold in game to maxing out his gold reserves, and the anticlimax of realising he has nothing to spend all that gold on. Summary for those who don’t want [...]
[SWTOR] Notes from SDCC, and scarce code is scarce
Posted in general mmo, tagged 2011, comic con, flashpoint, panel, sdcc, swtor on July 27, 2011 | 11 Comments »
OK, a few more notes about The Old Republic to catch up on what we’ve seen last week, following up Arb’s summary of her flashpoint yesterday. As an observer, I was mostly taken by: Smoothness of the character animations. This isn’t LOTRO where the game is gorgeous until someone moves. It’s all very nicely animated. [...]
[SWTOR] Be very quiet, we’re hunting bounties!
Posted in general mmo, tagged bounty hunter, flashpoint, swtor on July 26, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Band together with your most trusted allies to undertake some of the most dangerous missions in the galaxy! Flashpoints are action-packed, story-driven adventures that test a group of players to their limits, putting them up against difficult foes in volatile situations. You and your group need your wits, your skills, and all your resources to [...]
[SDCC] San Diego Comic Con, the geek Mecca
Posted in general mmo, tagged 2011, comic con, sdcc on July 26, 2011 | 15 Comments »
Last week, Arb and I were in San Diego along with 150000 of our closest geeky friends to attend the annual fan fest which is San Diego Comic Con. (Alas, no pictures since I lost my camera out there somewhere.) I’ll be writing more about the con this week, including posts on individual game-related panels [...]
Links and mini-posts for the weekend
Posted in general mmo, tagged links, rift, survey, swtor, titan on July 23, 2011 | 7 Comments »
I thought since I was away and these links will be at least a week out of date, I’d go back through my old bookmarks and see if I could find a few slightly older posts to mix in with ones that caught my eye recently. RIFT’s Summer Update makes every other game’s producer letter [...]
[WoW] Those awkward moments
Posted in general mmo, tagged algalon, dalaran, rhonin, screenshot on July 21, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Sometimes a picture speaks a thousand words … and other times it needs a little explanation. Last week, we were mulling around in guild groups after having (somehow!) won a Tol Barad battle, and the suggestion was made that we go chill out in an older raid instance. One of my guildies had a key [...]
Question of the Day: Deciding which alt to play
Posted in general mmo, tagged alt on July 19, 2011 | 12 Comments »
(Short holiday post to keep things ticking over.) Stargrace wrote over the weekend about her alts in EQ2, and she notes that she spends quite a lot of time deciding “what to do and who to do it on.” And I thought this was a good question for anyone else who runs active multiple alts [...]
In the F2P world of the future, we will all be consumed
Posted in general mmo, tagged microtransactions on July 15, 2011 | 9 Comments »
Courtesy of Jester’s Trek, I’d like to share a video blog from the Escapist today about Microtransactions. This is an interesting videocast because it’s smart and makes a great deal of sense, and seems to be aimed at developers who are considering venturing into F2P rather than to players (who we assume are the majority [...]
