[EVE Online] Tonight, in EVE Online, Ethic took a dangerous mission through Amarr space. The Amarr are a society of cruel slavelords, known to steal ponies from one-legged Caldari orphans and choke them, just to watch them die. There is reason to believe that Ethic has been taken captive, and an Amarr-programmed clone has replaced him.
If there are any odd posts here or hostile actions in EQ2, do not say that you have not been warned.

[Everquest 2] Since I was still having video issues, I decided to switch to my second computer which has an FX5900 in it. Got the game copied over and fired it up. No problems at all, wonderful.
I chose a Kerran (which is like a tiger/human). The sonicvision ability in this race was used quite a bit this time, as it was night time. It made it very easy to spot the bad guys. This is the same vision as the Ratonga had.
[Final Fantasy XI] Well, I fired up my old FFXI account around Christmas. My old character was still saved because Playonline now saves characters for up to a year. I decided I’d probably never play that character again and I’d use it as a mule and sell all its stuff. The first thing I noticed in FFXI when I went to sell my stuff is the current economy “problem.” While some would argue that it’s not a problem, there is a large inflation going on. No one really knows the cause but some attribute it to mostly the holiday season and idiots. Regardless, a lot of items have increased in price, mainly the more rare items. While some say this is bad, others would say it’s not that big of a deal because a lot of other money making items have also gone up in price; however, some haven’t. Either way, inflation in FFXI never increases your current gil supply. Someone who could buy several rare items now can only buy a couple. You either had to realize an inflation was coming on and buy items before they got too pricey and then resell or your gil is now not worth as much as it used to be.
[Everquest 2] These impressions that I am getting of the classes are not really fair, as I assume the first 6 levels are not the defining levels for the class, but given that assumption – I will continue my observations and opinions.
Going back to the scout for a minute, I’m really bummed that the trial did not get me into any of the rogue type of abilities, but then I realized it is a scout and not a rogue at this time. Understanding that, perhaps I did not give scout a fair chance. The ability to track things was actually very cool (pull down menu shows things in the area, select one and a pathway appears before you) and I look forward to trying the class again in the next update.
[Everquest 2] I had to restart my scout as I just could not stand the high elf character model. I rerolled as a Ratonga, which is a rat-type of small humanoid character.
Ratongas have sonic vision. I did not really see any benefit to this, but I only tried it a little bit. Not sure how that is supposed to work. I’m curious to understand the point of these skills.
I had a lot of graphics problems, locking up on various occasions. Rolling back my drivers helped with that, but as a side effect I lost the red text outline on mob names which designates they will attack if you get near. Kind of sucked to lose that. I suppose I will do a full uninstall of my drivers and start over to see if it helps.
[EVE Online] The latest issue of E:ON magazine had a little blurb on page 9, but what an exciting blurb it is – at least to me.
Announced at the Fanfest back in October was CCP’s intention to release a mobile edition of EVE. Currently the product of a joint research project between CCP and Reykjavik University, a limited prototype client is already running on GSM phones, which allow users to log into the game, access characters, set skill training and manage items.
“EVE is a game where you can do a lot of things without having full 3D,” says Hilmar Petursson, CCP’s CEO. “We are focusing on everything that can be done in-station and hopefully players will also be able to chat and monitor chat channels, although this is one of the more difficult parts to implement.”
“It’s coming along,” he adds, “but there are a lot of commercial and security issues to work out.”
What a cool idea and I can’t wait to try it out.

[Everquest 2] Trial of the Isle is a free trial introduction to Everquest 2. It is free to play so why not go get it. You should at least get a taste of what you are missing, then you can rest easier at night with your gaming decisions. I’m not sure how long they are going to leave this up, but they should make it a permanent feature.
Honestly, I’ve never been a fan of Everquest. I tried it and did not like it. I was an Asheron’s Call boy instead, and I never looked back. I guess that is why I didn’t give EQ2 much of a chance. Besides, everything I read about it said it would be too grindy and too group-centric for me. Well, I’ll find out.
[City of Villains] I recently posted about a stealth nerf to stealth, which is fun to say. They are not going through with it. The reason for the nerf hitting test was to reduce risk-free xp. The reason for its leaving was well reasoned posts from players. And it was a “stealth” stealth nerf due to an ongoing internal documentation issue.
I thought this one needed an update, not just a note in the comments, in case you had been thinking badly of Cryptic. Corrections need to be visible on blogs.

[Dungeons & Dragons Online] A good while back I wrote down a small story about a quest, rather uninspired really, but I wanted to kind of show what one quest was like in DDO. This was from the Alpha testing phase and it was one of the first quests you did in the game. This particular quest is still in the game, somewhat revised, so don’t read if you are avoiding spoilers (not like this is much of a spoiler really).
If you read a line that begins “I notice” or “I hear” something, that is likely the DM text I read on my screen.
[World of Warcraft] Patch bites me on the ass again, don’t know what to say. I’m not investing 12 more hours into fixing this problem.
Meh.
