[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!

One of my biggest disappointments with MMORPGs has been the lack of actual adventure. Shortly after any MMORPG is released tons of information starts pouring in about the game. Large websites filled with detailed information about the game are set up. You don’t know how to complete a quest? Go look it up on a website, or, if you’re old school and/or your computer can’t handle an alt-tab, ask another player!

[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.

[Stay Alive] My computer is still acting up so no MMOs for me still. It is kind of funny how I’ve become the cliche MMO player that finds himself with so much extra free time when he can’t play his games. They could make a Penny Arcade about me. I’ve taken this extra time to attend a few games of the World Baseball Classic and to go to the movies for the first time in a while. I saw V for Vendetta which was flawed but still great. Before the film there was a trailer for a horror film called Stay Alive from the producer of Charlie’s Angels and The OC about gamers being killed. It appears we have reached a social milestone: the first MMO film.

[RF Online] One of the more interesting aspects of Rising Force Online is its economy. Rather than forcing the player to find out the best ways to make money, the game supplies the easiest way: Mining. In fact, mining plays a central role in making the game possible and fun. Unfortunately, mining is hardly a fun and interactive activity.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I havent slept in almost 30 hours, but while just watching the newly released Lord of the Rings: Online trailer, I just couldn’t stop laughing. The thing is cut horribly and it doesn’t really do anything to make a good show of the engine. The copy is also horrible; sporting horrible effects. I wonder if that is a plug-in for After Effects; Horrible(R). The thing honestly looks like the publisher was yelling at them to release a trailer, but they already had plans to go out drinking, so they just told Bob the janitor to throw something together.

It is better for a game to have skills than classes. It is better to offer more options rather than fewer.
This is not a non-controversial opinion, especially given that our best-selling games are pretty uniformly class-based. They all try to add some of the flexibility that skills give you, but they are class-based systems. Which won: UO, EQ, or AC?

…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.
