a group of adventurers on an epic quest
…so it is a good thing that this made me think of Asheron’s Call first. Hauberks, greaves, and sollerets will probably always remind me of AC.
I am wondering which of the obvious jokes we can get away with. I fear that references to rogues and shamans could go far afield…

[Dungeons & Dragons Online] I’m in. I had a gift card I forgot about so I picked it up. Just to get the hang of it a little, I rolled up a dwarf fighter. A few things have changed since beta, that was nice to see. Lag is still pretty bad in the starter towns. Why is that such a problem?
It was also nice to see weather effects. It was raining! I plan to put some serious time in this weekend, with my brother using the 10-day pass that comes with the game. Will report back how that goes.

Good grief. In-game advertising sounds like such a wonderful idea…extra revenues, targeted advertising, dynamic ads, etc. etc. Everybody wins with in-game advertising except for the players.
[Dungeons & Dragons Online] Turbine has just announced that they will be adding a dragon to the game in April, thus making the name of the game almost true. They will need to add one more dragon unless they plan to change the name to what I called it up above.
I’m giving thoughts to buying this now, as I may have a few friends interested in a regular gaming night just for this. Scary to think of it, because I pretty much swore off Turbine not that long ago.
Anyway, it’s a free add-on to the game - which they are claiming is the “fastest growing MMOG in North America”. Um, right. Whatever.

I feel obligated to write an apology to Ethic and everyone else here, Lately, I haven’t been active at all due to my own laziness, and within the last 3 weeks, being unable to be on at all, (RL 4tw)
Whether or not I will continue to write for KTR is up to Ethic at this point, I’m making an effort now to try to write more often as I seem to have put my life back together, I’ll see you all in game, as for now, I have some rats to kill.

[City of Villains] I mentioned recently that our SG made a few Brutes to rampage through low-level content. Since most of our members are playing less until Issue 7, I have been playing the Brute a bit, soloing and in pickup groups.
It has been a blast. And now, some comments on playing a Brute.

You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building. Around you is a forest. A small stream flows out of the building and down a gully. There is an elf with an exclamation point above her head here.

[City of Heroes] In Paragon City, we do not kill our foes. We arrest them. With assault rifles, trip mines, and fiery blasts. Yep.
