Star Wars: The Old Republic: More than a Music Video

Cross posted from my blog: SW:ToR: More than a music video

Watch the video first.



So, that was a video about the music of Star Wars:The Old Republic right? Sure, but we also learned some other bits of information from the in-game video that was included. First off, let me just say that the musical… Continue

Why "Quit" an MMO?

I just finished up the last few lines on this week's article for Lagwar (it's a good one, too, if I do say so myself – link incoming soon) and, as I re-read, I noticed mentioning how I “quit” Darkfall, once in the past. I don't understand why we use that word. Does anyone really “quit” a game, anymore?

I may be stating the obvious here, but I think “quitting” an MMO is just silly. We shouldn't say it. Quitting implies some kind of charred ending, like you left on bad terms. You quit drinking. Y… Continue

Guild Wars 2 level cap will be 80 with no leveling curve

Simple enough:

Our goal with Guild Wars 2 is to flatten out the leveling curve, keeping progression simple and straightforward. We expect everyone to make a reasonable amount of progression with each play session. It shouldn’t take days of playing before you feel like you have made any progress, and you definitely shouldn’t have to

The Multiverse - Episode #23: "The Little Things are Best in Space"

Hey gang,

Another week, another Multiverse! This week we touch on the Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning trailer, FFXIV's recommended requirements, the cast of DCUO, and more! We have a clarification from last week, too. It seems that the reported 200k new subscribers for LotRO were actually beta applicants. Still impressive, in my opinion! Thanks to… Continue

Announcing the Ebon Tribunal, an EverQuest II Extended Guild

Our DDO Guild, the Disciples of Tharizdun, while small of membership, has been a great success as far as I'm concerned. In our discussion last night, we have decided to venture into EverQuest II Extended as well. All readers of Ardwulf's lair are invited to apply.

The guild's page is HERE, and a statement of purpose and a charter draft are already up and… Continue

My First Great Adventure in Darkfall

Wow. That's all I can say after tonight's run in Darkfall. Just, wow.

I logged in fairly late to run through a couple of starter quests with a good friend who just downloaded the trial today. After killing goblins for a few minutes, I suggested heading out towards a skeleton camp a little ways outside town. So, preparing to be ganked on the run, we loaded our few shabby pieces of cloth armor into the bank and began our journey.… Continue

Stronghold Kingdoms. My thoughts so far.





Part 1.




Stronghold Kingdoms. The next in a series of games that has gained my love and lost it. Stronghold, the original, I LOVED. The second one not so much. I did like the complexity of the second one, but I hated most everything else. I hated the different parishes, the graphics and just about anything

An Embarrassing Mistake

This is a blog I wrote in June. I've held onto it because I'm honestly a bit embarrassed. But, since this blog isn't attached to my real name, I suppose I should add it to this little web diary. I hope you can learn something from my mistake.

I made a mistake, gang. I am now being followed around by a mix of fourth and fifth graders.

It's like this. Being a substitute teacher can be a challenging gig. Substitut… Continue

I guess I would say that using the term "quit" identifies that whatever you are leaving is continuing on without you. You don't quit a singleplayer game because when you stop playing it, it stops "existing". An MMO continues on without you.

What a great idea! Keep it simple. Just maybe make it take a bit longer to level, but make it the same each level. Nice.

I haven't been paying attention to GW2 because I've never played GW but that sounds really interesting. Hmm

A new Sandbox that is currently in beta. Massive seamless world, PVP but not full world, lots of nice systems centered around player interaction. It's looking to be something quite special
