New header!

I thought instead of changing the blog header to the theme of the game I am playing – why not just put ALL the games I’ve played or play now up there! I think I got them all – at least these are ones I played for more than a few weeks. Currently, I am in Fallen Earth.  What is next? Im guessing Tera or Guild Wars 2. Both games are working very hard at giving us something new with Tera gobbling up talent each week, to GW2 that wants to make MMOs more of an RPG experience. I think WoW has reached its pinnacle and is now on the way back down the slope. I’m sure I will return to Azeroth again at some point.

WoW is slightly spoiling or corrupting players in that any new game they try seems too complicated. I’ve heard it more than once from existing WoW players after trying out a new game. And how when they are in the new game, they complain how something should be more like WoW. GET OVER IT! Give it more than a day…open your mind to new experiences! WoW is an excellent game, it irritates me when people bash it when they never gave it a chance…but the same goes for the WoW lovers.

Give other games a chance! I didn’t like Anarchy Online the first time I tried it. Then a month later I gave it another shot and stayed there a few years and even GM’d a bit. I didn’t really care for WoW the first week either…but yet it consumed a few years of my life! Another game I disliked was Guild Wars – got in on their opening week and played an hour and didn’t care for it. A few years later, I gave it a shot again and it is really a great game (Which I have yet to finish the storylines).

So my words of wisdom to you are: Give other games a chance and DON’T compare them to the game you currently play (They aren’t the same game!)

Time to Re-Re-Redesign the Blog!

Right now the Blog is set up for EVE! Which I have stopped playing. I haven’t played WoW since ummm…December/January?  Got back to EQ2 and did a little leveling and played with the new expansion. There is just something that makes me not stick with EQ2. Part if it is gameplay and part is probably a lack of a bigger guild. The guild Im in has 2 or 3 active members which tends to make the MMO a single player game.

Then I got into Dragon Age Origins. Very good game if you care to check it out. First play through took me 80 hours. That was reading the quests and doing as many as possible…being a completionist.  Played as a rogue dual wield the first time.  Almost done a second run through now as the mage I started. I started the mage off as a goodie goodie. Then I made my rogue to try that, and was going to try it from the uncaring mean side. But as I played with the rogue, I turned from evil to good and everyone loved me. So now that I went back to my mage, she has turned evil and all my choices show it.

Sooo, now what could I possibly be doing?  Fallen Earth!

The game is now 6 months old and has a few bugs that need fixing, but still it is a fun time. A few things I would change, but lets see what they do. Its a nice change from elves and orcs.
