[EVE Online] The first Titan has been built and it was Ascendant Frontier that made it happen. It’s a pretty big deal, and an even bigger ship. Way to go ASCN! Ars Caelestis is proud to be a part of ASCN.
Updated:
ASCN leader CYVOK posted on the official EVE forums: “Maybe our second titan finished at 13:02 today, maybe it didn’t.” Hmm…

[World of Warcraft] Been kind of feeling burnt out of gaming lately. I’ve been working two jobs racking up 65 hours a week on a regular basis and when I get free time all I want to do is sleep. Having said that, my wife recently mentioned that she wanted to play World of Warcraft some more.
My account has been inactive for a while, but I thought about it. If I bought a second account, we could play together. I ran the option by her and she thought it sounded like something fun for us to do together. I found a copy of WoW on sale at the local game store and it’s sitting here on top of my copy of Half-Life2 Episode 1 and a book “Small Stakes Hold ’em”. HL2e1 is something I actually finished playing recently, but the book has yet to be cracked open (poker is one of my other hobbies). I’m just waiting for the word from her to fire up both computers down here in the nerdcenter of the house. I imagine I’ll have some things to write and perhaps I’ll even have her write a post or two.
We shall see.

Since the official word is out, I figured I’d get a little discussion going. Our own Nicodemus and Spot are starting a project together (that has nothing to do with us here at KTR). The project is an MMORPG called “Immortal Destiny”. Also, Nicodemus recently released a book titled “MMO Evolution”. I purchased the first copy (so I was told) and am currently devouring the contents. Just to be clear, I had no prior knowledge about either of these events, I read the press release just like many others.
So the claim is to be “the first truly evolutionary massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) designed to empower players and provide extraordinary experiences and entertainment.” One can only hope. But what is “evolutionary”? Let’s dig in a little further.
[Pirates!] I’ve set sail t’ find me riches. Don’ know when I’ll b’ back, matey. Hoist one fer me whilst I b’gone.

[The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar] Some sort of announcement was made at PAX the other day from the folks at Turbine. I have not been able to confirm this, but it has promise. This is something I would love to try out myself. (Note to Turbine: the game’s name isn’t long enough – please add more words.)
I did some upgrades this morning. If all went well, you shouldn’t notice anything different. Let me know if things appear slow or if something doesn’t work right.

[EVE Online] The last few weeks have been interesting to say the least. Our corporation (Ars Caelestis) had another corp we highly respected merge into ours. Shortly after that there was an election for the HUZZAH Federation president. The leader of the corp that merged into ours decided to run and one other player in another corp also decided to run. The election was close but a winner was chosen.
Everything changed for us after the election. It became clear that our corporation’s direction and goals did not really match up with those of our alliance any more. We discussed it at length and decided to leave the alliance so we gave our official notice. Not long after that the corp that merged into ours announced they wanted to go their own way as well and left our corporation and the alliance. My time with HUZZAH was very enjoyable and exciting and I won’t soon forget all the fun we have had.
[EVE Online] Let’s see if we can solve this problem, the “log in trap”. Basically, this is a situation in EVE (but it could happen in most MMOs) where the enemy gathers in an area and then logs off. Waiting for your group to show up in some way (using an alt to observe the area), they all log in at one time and wipe out your side. There is no way to know how many of them are logged off so you can’t prepare (even if you are lucky enough to get intel that they logged off there in the first place). Most of the time you are completely suprised and wiped out.
Sounds like an exploit doesn’t it? It’s certainly a weak tactic. Metagaming I suppose.
[Auto Assault] It appears that Auto Assault is already planning a server merger. How serious is this? Well, how does combining all servers into ONE server sound to you? It sounds bad to me.
For some time now our player base has been clamoring to merge all of the servers and offer one, unified Auto Assault® experience. And now you’re going to have it: on July 13, we’ll be merging all of the AA servers (US and Europe) into the new combined server, Nexus.
It isn’t looking good for AA.
Hat tip to VirginWorlds on this one.
