With Warhammer Online being released a little over 3 months ago, tonight I finally hit the level cap.  I know you probably hit it after 2 weeks so good for you, but I needed a bit over 3 months.   From the top image you can see what my character looked like when I was [...]

Hello, everyone, and happy holidays! It’s been a while since I’ve written anything here, and most of you are probably thinking “thank god I haven’t had to read any hateful posts from this asshole,” but who couldn’t do with a little holiday negativity? No, no, I’m not here to bash the countless holiday events that [...]

I was recently sent an email from Monte Cristo Games about their upcoming SimCity style game Cities XL.  Being a big fan of SimCity, I decided to take a look and was suprised to see how awesome this game looks.  So why am I writing about a sim game on a MMO [...]

BioWare has popped up a new video with a lot of talking heads saying how great the new Star Wars MMO — and, by extension, their own creative efforts on it — is going to be. And it again trots out the whole, “We’re bringing story to MMOs…” line that the company started spouting when [...]

The servers for Warhammer has just gone down about 45 mins ago for the 1.06 patch updated.  Looking through the patch notes I’m happy to see that the planned changes for the Ironbreaker class aren’t as bad as originally posted, which were supposed to be released with the 1.05 patch.
The two major issues I had [...]
