Speaking of F2P

Posted on November 14, 2011 by baudattitude

It’s not exactly news by now, but Sony is in the process of moving its current flagship fantasy MMO, Everquest 2, from its strictly pay-to-play (with a side server on f2p) status to a fully f2p game, allowing the Unwashed … Continue reading →

Once more into the F2P world.

Posted on November 7, 2011 by baudattitude

A few months back, I tried my hand at a free-to-play MMO, Dungeons and Dragons Online. By level 3, I’d been in some dungeons, and I’d seen a dragon, so really it lived up to the name.  I am given … Continue reading →

Keeping a gameworld alive

Posted on September 14, 2011 by baudattitude

I’ve been back playing EQ2 a bit recently. I put it aside a few months ago, after getting a character to level 90 and feeling a bit like the game had turned into an endless treadmill with no real opportunity … Continue reading →

Posted on August 4, 2011 by baudattitude

I put The Forgotten Sands aside for a couple of days while I was trying out D&D Online, but I’ve gotten back to it.  The more I get in to it, the more I’m glad to have picked it up … Continue reading →

Breaking my own rules

Posted on June 5, 2011 by baudattitude

Ding!

Posted on May 11, 2011 by baudattitude

So I hit 50 in Rift yesterday, with a hair over 120 hours /played.  That’s kind of slow by Rift standards, I guess. I started on April 14th, so that’s a little over 4 hours a day?  It’s a little … Continue reading →

Apparently, I’m a jerk

Posted on April 26, 2011 by baudattitude

I don’t PvP. The thing that attracted me to the original Everquest – that attracted a lot of people, actually – was that it was, in comparison to it’s predecessors, a mostly PvE game, where your enemy was the environment … Continue reading →

I beat EQ2

Posted on April 19, 2011 by baudattitude

Technically, I didn’t beat EQ2.  It’s a MMORPG, after all, a genre that is by definition unbeatable.  I mean, pretty much every one of them has a Super Ultimate Boss Fight that can count as “beating” the game, but since … Continue reading →

Now what?

Posted on April 7, 2011 by baudattitude

  A gap of a month or so between posts usually means that I’ve gotten back into MMORPGs, and this one is no exception.  I’ve been sucked back into Everquest 2 with the release of the latest expansion, Destiny of … Continue reading →
