Have You Ever: Gaming Edition
This blog post has been sitting in my drafts for about a year, so I figured I’d finally dust it off and put it to use during “Getting to Know You” week! I found this idea originally on Chasing the Four Winds, and it seemed like a fun evergreen prompt to keep in the backlog for when I needed a post on short notice. So, without further ado, let’s answer some questions about gaming! Have You Ever… Rage quit a game? I don’t think I’ve ever rage quit a game? I remember walking away from games because they were getting annoying or aggravating, but I’ve never logged out of a…

Returning to FFXIV
Dipping in the Toes A few weeks ago now, I decided to try picking up FFXIV again. I’ve been looking for more games to play with Manthing and some specific friends, and figured FFXIV might be a good choice, even though none of them were playing at the time. I’ve also been watching Tua and Aeyvi stream FFXIV quite recently, and have thoroughly enjoyed watching them, so I figured I’d give it another try. Deciding what server to roll up on, and what class to choose to start (I’ll level them all eventually!) was the hard part, though. Do I go back to Cactuar because that’s where my main is?…

Black Desert Online Closed Beta… Sorta
I was able to obtain a CBT2 key for Black Desert Online, and hop into the game the other weekend. Sadly, it wasn’t as much as I liked. I spent about three hours total in the game, with the majority of the time spent on character creation. But here are some initial impressions, both good and bad. The character creator is God-like. I loved being able to create a short, stout, tatted warrior lady with epic red hair. The opening cinematic was… loud? Confusing. It was definitely confusing. The story didn’t really grab me off the get-go. But at least it wasn’t overly long like Blade & Soul was. The…

Blaugust AMA
This is post 16 of 31 for the Blaugust event. To check out more Blaugust posts and sign up to participate, visit the Blaugust Nook! Syl came up with a grand idea for Blaugust with a sort of AMA chain–you ask a question to the person above you, and they answer it! Rowan Blaze of I Have Touched the Sky posed the following question to me: I don’t see a lot of blogs devoted to Call of Duty and other single-player games. Do you think the social aspect of MMORPGS spills over into the blogosphere more than for SPGs? Or is there some other factor? Or is it simply the circles we run…

What Makes a Good Guild?
A few weeks ago, Massively OP had an article about what makes a good guild. It’s a fantastic read, and anybody that participates in MMOs should take a look at it. The question that was posed in the article was as such: I’d like to know your recipe for a great successful guild. By that, I mean what you think makes a guild good and what you’d look out for if you were looking for a new guild. I’m currently guildless inWorld of Warcraft and am on the lookout for a great new haunt myself after being disappointed by other guilds I’ve joined. So, what does make a good guild?…

MMO Desires IRL
Over at Massively OP, the Daily Grind asked: If you could choose 3 things from your favorite MMO to be in your real life, what would it be and why? So, I hate writing in comments on sites because there’s always some sort of vitriol that gets thrown around. And while I commend Massively OP for kicking out the trolls, it’s still not something I like to subject myself to on a daily basis. On the internet in general. Honestly, the only place I read the comments is Imgur because they’re just funny. Anyway, my three things I’d want IRL from MMOs in no particular order are… 1. Fast travel/hearthstone/portals…
