I own this little MMO gaming blog but I hardly ever write on it any more. I'm more of a bloglord or something. Thankfully I have several minions to keep things rolling along.

Guild Wars – One More Time For Fun

gw[Guild Wars] In my neverending quest to find something fun to do in my spare time, I have joined up with two fellow bloggers to create a new guild in Guild Wars. Hopefully we can be stupid and have fun and not become slaves to the grind.

The guild we started is called: Bold Legion of Geeks [BLOG]. My character is “Brother Ethic”. We are starting out fresh and are looking to have fun. If you want to join, find us or leave a comment here. It costs 100 gold to invite each person (is there a limit?) and my funds are somewhat limited so please be patient.

For now this is the original Guild Wars, not Factions. Perhaps we will expand into Factions if we are having too much fun (I do own it and it already). If you already play and are rich and want to donate to the “buy BLOG a hall fund”, feel free. Otherwise, say hello next time you see one of us. Or join us! One of us! One of us!

A Fond Farewell

Three of the KTR staff are leaving us for greener pastures and I’d like to wish them well on their quest. They are also welcome back at any time down the road should they desire to pick up the KTR flag again.

Safe travels to lufia22, ringthree and Zxyrox! I have enjoyed working with you guys and please stay in touch. Again, if you ever want to return just let me know.

Their contributions will not be forgotten.

Two Years Later…

I just realized it has been two years since I started this site. Two years. I’m honestly shocked. I had my first year at Blogger.com and then I moved to my own place (where 7 other people signed up to write). It’s been another whole year now since the move.

I figured it might be a good time to take a look at some stats because numbers are fun, OK?

In the last year we have had 285,661 people visit the site. In that same time there were 1,251,296 hits. And for data we transferred 13,290,855 KBytes. In the last month, we averaged 1,323 visitors per day.

Now, I don’t know what all these numbers mean, but they look big enough to me. I’m just glad my hosting fees have not gone up.

Thanks to everyone that spends a little time here and I hope we have provided a little entertainment for you. Here’s looking to two more years!

Easy Come Easy Go

EVE[EVE Online] I decided to leave my corp out in 0.0 for various reasons, none of which involve the corp itself. So, I posted a small goodbye (for now) post on the corp forum and before I knew it I couldn’t even access the forums any more. Talk about security.

I was still technically in the corp but they cut me out of the forums and my chance to read all the “sad farewells” and “fly safes” and “you’ll be backs” and of course the “can I have your stuffs?” was gone. *sniff* Oh well, that’s the sort of thing that 0.0 life gives you. Better to be safe than sorry (unlike another big alliance that I used to belong to and I can still read their forum to this day).

Happy Birthday EVE

EVE[EVE Online] Three years and still going strong, in fact getting stronger. Happy Birthday to EVE Online.

My first character has left Ars Caelestis and joined Ashpool Industries. I found a better fit for him as he is heavy into the production side of things. He can know be found supervising multiple factories and collecting fat paychecks.

My second character (who is now my main character) is training up only combat-related skills and has joined Ars Caelestis to replace my first character. He has a lot to learn and is hoping to get some combat action soon. Sadly, he missed out on the BoB assault, but he should be ready for the next round of whatever-may-come.

P.S. Check out the “No Other Destiny” video here. Sweet.

Banner Quest

See that banner up top? I’m looking for some more banners to add to the rotation. Here is where you come in, send me some. They should be in JPG format and 720×180 in size. They must be from an MMO. Try to have the middle of the image clean (no text or characters) to leave room for our site title and if you want to include a little blurb in a corner mentioning you, your character or your site, like “Banner courtesy of: X” that is fine too as long as it’s not too big. Do not put our site title on the image, I’ll handle that part. Reload the site a few times if you want to get some layout ideas.

Send them to my email address, which is also linked on the right side of this page. Let’s see what you’ve got.

If you don’t have the tools to make the banner, just send me the screenshot and I’ll tweak it myself.

Is Hell Getting Chilly?

wow[World of Warcraft] My wife told me a few weeks ago, “I’d like to try that game of yours.” To which I had to ask “What game?” Turns out it was World of Warcraft. Ugh. I really didn’t want to give them any more money, but the chance to introduce my wife to an MMORPG was just too great to pass up.

I intended on just letting her play without my interference. I tried, but it was pretty hard to stay out of it. She ended up creating a Human Warlock female. She wanted Horde, but I talked her out of it, if only because I have been playing Horde characters forever.

Feels Good

EVE[EVE Online] Finally got back out and shot down some rats. Damn that feels good. It’s like I haven’t played EVE for the last month, which is probably pretty accurate. Nothing gets the blood flowing like a good old fashioned explosion.

Anyway, I started playing around with Flickr some to hold some of my screenshots, we’ll see how it goes.

Lost In Space

EVE[EVE Online] I’ve been playing EVE Online now since May 2005. In the last month, I think I might have left the station once. Ever since I purchased my second account during the special promotion CCP ran, all I have been doing is logging in to train.

The end result of this is I’m starting to forget how to actually play this game. I’m feeling like a noob again. Only this time since I’m not a noob I feel too stupid to ask questions because I should already know this stuff. Really, I just need to get back out and blow something up.
