Last night, I joined RvB – Blue Republic. Things in the Wormhole are going great, we have been busy with Sigs and Anoms, and the occasional fleet roam, but until a few final skills in my solo-gank Bomber build finish up, I am largely incapable of stalking in W-Space solo. My 3rd account that I built a Freighter/ Trader pilot … Continue reading [Eve] Two Corporations: One War
I just spent 1.5 Billion ISK.  I went all in on a hunch, that will make or break me, and you our loyal readers get to watch it unfold.
The last few days have been a roller-coaster ride… a flurry of activity, acclimation and excitement.  We have settled the Wormhole, gotten nearly all of the equipment that we needed into our Station and onlined both our industrial capacities and our defences. The past three days have seen us focused on beginning to reap the … Continue reading [Eve] Wormhole Living
Last night, I was floating in our Wormhole, chatting and getting to know some of my Corpmates in INQ-E.  Though I feel like I have been with these guys forever, and have even been promoted to Director of Recruitment for the Corp, it has only been a very short time that I have been playing with … Continue reading [Eve] Some People Call Me A Space Cowboy
So… I installed Eve Online last week for the first time in the game’s eight year life span…  I can’t pinpoint why it has taken me so long, perhaps there was a perception that the game didn’t suit my tastes, since I like DIKU high fantasy settings, and since I left UO, have played all class/archetype, level progression … Continue reading [Eve] Wonderous Complexity
Games with achievements do better. I’ve lost my citation of the Microsoft data analysis that showed this, and it would be a stronger effect there because you have an overall score for total poundage of achievements there, but at least grant it for the sake of argument here because the point lies beyond this. Players … Continue reading Achievement Spread
The DC Universe Online tutorial takes place in one of Brainiac’s ships. While I respect that unity in the storyline, unless levels work radically different here, it is hard to take seriously a Big Bad when players solo his invasion ships at level 1. If Brainiac is not up to containing level 1 characters, he … Continue reading Level 1 Superman
It’s Age of Empires, with fewer civilizations and you need to both pay $20 and level grind to get full access each civilization. That is for each civilization, not $20 for the game. I can see where this business model would be great for Microsoft except for the “why would you pay for this rather … Continue reading Age of Empires Online
Regardless of whose right or wrong, Ms Freak definitely gets a swath of internet points for clear cutting to a ton of issues currently going on in EVE Online. Being an outsider myself, I had mostly just agreed with Tobold that the delivery of many of these items was what made it so big of … Continue reading [EVE] Idiot’s and Outsider’s Guide to Controversies
The first part of that barter wallet I have been wanting is coming next week. They are starting with skirmish marks. It also includes a fix for one of my weekend complaints, the re-spawning final boss. If you did not buy the Lone-lands quest pack, congratulations: it will be free, which I think covers all … Continue reading Upcoming Changes: Lord of the Rings Online
