[EVE Online] In a stunning move, CCP has added a wonderful new piece of technology to their forums. Utilizing some sort of thingamajig called “google”, they have given us all the ability to do something we have long thought impossible.
We can now search the forums! Cheers to CCP for this brilliant (and dare I say bold) move to keep all the other MMO companies on their toes trying to catch up.
This news was brought to my attention over at CrazyKinux. Thanks man!

I thought I had finally fixed my video corruption/crash problem with a new power supply, but my video went out again tonight. I am so sick of this. Can’t play anything for more than 30 minutes. I really don’t want to spend any more money, but this is getting old. Stupid computers.
Right now I just want to quit gaming forever. Bah…

[EVE Online] While I have been suffering through computer downtime, some suprisingly big news has recently bubbled up via the various EVE channels. SirMolle of the Band of Brothers Alliance made this announcement recently:
Today BOB revokes all standings with all other corporations or alliances. Things have settled into a state of stagnation. These systems so far from the core should not be so peaceful. It is an aberration, an imbalance, something that has to change. We remember old acquaintances, the good and the bad. However, just as true warriors will joyfully spill each others’ blood, we will not hesitate to fight old friends. This is a good change.
To the world of EVE we give the gift of conflict. Let our eyes light up to welcome it.
The regions of Fountain, Delve, Period Basis, will no longer allow travel through or visits. Active as of friday downtime, you are set back to 0.0. This will not change anytime soon.
Rejoice.
There comes a time when a game that was pretty fun, but not worth a monthly fee, loses it’s monthly fee. Even if it is limited somewhat in that you cannot advance fully to the highest skills. This is one of those times. It is free for the next 12 months. The sooner you start, the more of those 12 months you get to play.
Go get your free PlanetSide on. I know I will.

[Asheron’s Call 2] I used to play AC2. In fact, I won a free account for life. Life of the game I suppose it was in all actuality. I was also in the Vanguard program. That was a special group of players that had access to the test server and could try new features and give feedback. In fact, there was even a mob put in the game with my name on it – thanks to a quest that a group of us designed and had implemented.
Well, they sent out t-shirts to the Vanguard members at one point and while doing a clean up at home I found it. I snapped some pictures for posterity. Front – Back – Back up close.
This reminded me of the one other game that gave me a free t-shirt, during the beta of Earth & Beyond. Hmm, two free t-shirts and two dead MMOs. Note to devs: don’t send me a t-shirt if you want your MMO to survive. Now, lets see if I can dig up that E&B t-shirt so I can take some pics.

[Dungeons & Dragons Online] Once again solo and only with time for one quest to test my video card changes, I took my paladin into a dungeon called “The Low Road”.
Kill a few easy mobs and keep moving. An ooze (slime? snot?) attacks so I switch to a cheap club and kill it. Switch back to my sword (since my nice mace is pretty damaged and it is a loaner so I need to take care of it).
I arrived at a fork in the hallway. Left or right. There is an open door on the left and a creature on the right (kobold? I forget already). I kill the creature on the right but come back to go left, taking note of a lever right in the middle of the fork.
[Dungeons & Dragons Online] I met up with a friend from Asheron’s Call 2 days. He is a big D&D fan and was excited to show me the ropes in DDO a little. I think being around someone that enjoys the game certainly makes it feel a little different. I actually had some fun this time.
After talking about things a little and telling him what I don’t like about the game, he recommended a few things. First off, he had me create a Paladin for a little more basic game play. He also told me to use the auto-attack in the beginning as it cuts down on all the clicking I was complaining about.
[ToonTown] My kids have been playing ToonTown for several months, but I haven’t seen them touch it in the last month. Therefore, I thought I would cancel it.
Hop onto the website and look for the cancel button. None to be found. Turns out you have to call them to cancel. BAD!
I called to cancel only to hear the all-to-famous phrase, “Your account was just billed for the next month 2 days ago”. BAD!
However, they said I could be refunded since it was within the refund time allowed. They cancelled my account and credited me back for the current statement. GOOD!

[Dungeons & Dragons Online] My Momma always told me that if I couldn’t say anything nice, I shouldn’t say anything at all.
Therefore, this review is over.
I should stop there, but Momma knows I’m a bit crazy in the head too. So I will continue and try to be nice. Really, I’ll try.
[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.
