I keep the summary short: I played GW in a few of the open betas, then picked up the game shortly after launch in 2005. I don’t need to write a huge history here about my time playing the original Guild Wars since I’ve done a long recap. MMO Memory Box: Guild Wars Prophecies ~ Blaugust Day 18 I interrupt my trip down nostalgia lane to look at blog statistics. WordPress Microblogging Experiment: Statistics Speak ~ Blaugust Day 19 Today I’m struggling with gaming disappointment. I really appreciate it!Ī number of folks have written about their gaming regrets. The situations are not resolved, but you made me smile, and that made the day better.

I was a beta player and purchased the game at launch - I still have the special beta cloak that you got for buying the game from Best Buy (each store had a different cloak design).įirst I want to thank folks for their encouraging words yesterday. Next to Guild Wars and FFXIV, LOTRO is one of the MMOs I’ve put the most time and money into over the past decade. MMO Memory Box: Lord of the Rings Online ~ Blaugust Day 22 Let’s go back in time to 2005-2006 when a Guild Wars expansion pre-order looked like the above.

MMO Memory Box: Guild Wars Factions ~ Blaugust Day 23 Just like Guild Wars Factions, Nightfall had a cool pre-order box. MMO Memory Box: Guild Wars Nightfall ~ Blaugust Day 24 I think I have just been doing way too many end game dungeons – one a night is quite a bit for me, then sometimes getting pulled into other things by FC members. Though I’ve been making progress on Tai’s Eso armor for the past few weeks, I’ve been in a state of blah with FFXIV.

So, posting this in the series is only here to compare what a more modern MMO’s box looks like compared to some of the older boxes I’ve blogged.įFXIV: Breaking the Blahs, Making Progress With Machinist Like many folks, I now rely more on digital keys and downloads and Steam. I haven’t purchased many retail boxes lately. This isn’t really a memory box post seeing that I bought the box for WildStar only a few months ago. They just pass out presents and put things up for sale in the gem shop (woo hoo… what a celebration!).

Yesterday, GW2 started passing out the birthday goods for their 3rd year birthday “celebration.” Unlike some games, GW2 doesn’t really throw any kind of event for their birthday. I thought that StarShadow’s post about D&D alignment was interesting, so I also took the online quiz for myself, and not any of my characters. One glance at the images and at the trailer shows a lot of similarities to the amusement park in The Secret World. News was released this week that FunCom is planning to launch a solo game called The Park this fall. So, let’s start with last night’s ARK session. Now that I’m shaking off the effects of Blaugust (I have the rest of this month’s posts queued to go on my other blog), I hope to get back to posting here more regularly. Just attended The Rising event for FFXIV’s 2nd anniversary. So, I guess I’m officially announcing that I’m writing there, in particular for the Eorzean Evening Post column. I realized from Murf’s comment from when I shared my most recent column published at that I never officially announced that I’m writing there. I’m Writing for MMOGames ~ Blaugust Day 29 It’s the phone I still use till today, and I really don’t have any intention of changing anytime soon, even though it’ll be turning 2 years old next month (?) So, I took the plunge and bought the iPhone 5S on release day. It wasn’t until my sister and her husband picked up iPhones a few years ago and started lauding their uses that I became interested. I was late to adopt a smartphone, and for many, many years, I didn’t need one. If I had any curiosity about HOT, it has quickly been squleched for good. Both of these elements effect the atmosphere and community of a game so vastly that GW2 is becoming more and more unrecognizable to me now. First, the base game is now F2P, and second, raids are being introduced. So, GW2 dropped the bomb this weekend, announcing some major changes to the game. Congrats to everyone who undertook the challenge! Now give yourself some much-deserved rest! Today is the final day of August, which coincides with the last post of Blaugust.
