Square Enix, You Are Bad At This

Posted on August 30, 2015 by baudattitude

I’ve been, like, 99% MMO clean for a few months now. It feels pretty good!  I’ve cleared a ton of single player games, done some house projects, and generally reveled in all the free time you have when you’re not … Continue reading →

Alts are Bad

Posted on May 5, 2014 by baudattitude

With recent MMOs, I try not to create too many different characters.  When you have a bunch of alts, it’s really easy to keep finding excuses to log in and then you wind up living in a feral state and … Continue reading →

Oh, EQ players, don’t ever change.

Posted on April 30, 2014 by baudattitude

One thing I have learned in 15 years of wasting away the hours in assorted MMOs is that it’s nearly impossible to predict the depths that players will sink to if you let them. For example, EQ is having its … Continue reading →

What the well-dressed elin is wearing this season

Posted on April 25, 2014 by baudattitude

Coming back to an MMO after over a year away means relearning a ton of stuff.  There are new zones, new systems, a bunch of new acronyms and classes aren’t always exactly as you left them.  This actually worked in … Continue reading →

TERAble Twos

Posted on April 16, 2014 by baudattitude

I’ve gotten to put aside a couple of games this week – my six month nostalgia kick with EQ is decidedly on the wane and I finished Project Diva 2nd# on Hard – so my evenings and lunchtimes are considerably … Continue reading →

Win, THEN Gloat.

Posted on April 2, 2014 by baudattitude

For the first couple of years of Everquest, one common player complaint was that your actions didn’t really have any impact on the world. You could kill the Big Danged Dragon terrorizing Ye Auld Frigid Northern Plains, but she’d respawn … Continue reading →

Bixies be Crazy, yo.

Posted on March 6, 2014 by baudattitude

So, more about Everquest. As I mentioned a few posts ago, I’m in an era-restricted guild that’s restricting itself to doing raid content in-order, at the appropriate levels, and with appropriate gear. I’ve also gotten a pair of characters to … Continue reading →

New year, old hobbies

Posted on January 17, 2014 by baudattitude

Hey, this thing still works.  Crazy! So I’ve been playing, well, far too much EQ.  Normally I would have burned out by now, to be honest – I don’t seem to be able to stick with any MMO for more … Continue reading →

Me and the RNG

Posted on November 22, 2013 by baudattitude

One of the things about playing EQ again after several expansions’ worth of mudflation is that old raid targets are just begging to be slapped around to gear up low level alts, and being on a low population server means … Continue reading →

I was clean for three years, man!

Posted on October 15, 2013 by baudattitude

Discovered last month that you can play EverQuest for free on the test server, which includes permanent double XP and all expansions. Also found a sympathetic GM to restore the character I’d deleted in 2010. If you need me, I … Continue reading →
