We had a really good discussion going on Ventrilo tonight about what grinding means. So many times people think grinding is a negative, and it’s used by many I know as a reason for quitting a game. In my opinion, unless everything you are doing is 100% dynamic all the time, you are grinding. I [...]

When I’m between games I know that I have to watch myself to make sure that I don’t get swept away by the need to play something, and just subscribe to the first game that comes along promising me a persistent world. In the past, actually twice in the past… hmm… I’ve resubscribed to WoW. [...]

There’s always something in MMO’s that players, as a majority, do not enjoy doing. Maybe it’s the leveling process or a skill grind. The questions I want to pose to you today are: Should it be that way or can it be any other way? Dark Age of Camelot serves as a great example. The [...]

Only one word truly describes this year’s MMO releases: dismal. It was disappointing and inadequate. One hopes that each year there will be steps taken in the right direction, ones that will better the industry, but this year saw steps taken in the wrong direction or in a direction that simply makes no sense.

I’m an easy sell the first time around when it comes to new mmorpgs. I have to enjoy my first taste and want more, like the direction that the developers say they’re taking the game, and have a position outlook on how it will all unfold. When it comes to second chances, I’m one of [...]

It actually came as quite a surprise to open up the inbox and see all the emails you guys sent me about the North American Darkfall server announcement. The K&G Forums were also buzzing with people talking about coming back to the game after being gone for a couple months. The NA Server is being [...]

This week I had the rare (as of late) opportunity to put a good deal of time into both Darkfall and Warhammer Online. I’ve known it all along and said it a few times before that these two games play very different from eachother. Playing them at the same time, or rather in the same [...]
