Calmed Down
I’m Scared, Yo So, I’ve calmed down since writing the WildStar post yesterday. And while I do feel that NCSoft has a financial model change up its sleeve, I have to admit that I’m really scared. I’ve never been actively playing a game during a shift in model. More often than not, I’d play a game some, get distracted by another game, and then come back to the game after the model change. Or, I’d played it as it released B2P. However, much as I don’t particularly care for NCSoft as a whole company, they do have great B2P models in their repertoire, so that helps to calm my nerves,…

WildStar News Wednesday
Phew. It’s been quite a news-heavy day for WildStar today. First, we found out that all box copies of WildStar were removed from the shelves in Australia. And that sent the internet into a frenzy of, well, a picture is worth a thousand words. Yep. So, after a Twitter rant, and an un-posted blog post, I calmed myself down, and realized that there’s no official announcement yet, and what really aggravated me most about the whole thing is (1) my standards on online reporting are way too high and (2) I fucking hate people that will jump on a bandwagon of “Doomed! [From the start.]” and “I’ll play it if…

Chocobo Racing
This weekend, Chaide and I played a bit in the Manderville Saucer. I loved the mini-games, but didn’t bother with the Triple Triad table. Maybe I will try a game sometime this week and see if I like it or not. I’m not the best at card games, so I’m kind of hesitant. Off to the Races The one thing I was looking forward to the most at the saucer was the Chocobo Racing. And I found out I kind of suck at it. Most of the time I ended up in eighth place. I did win once, but I call it luck based on how terrible I was doing…

Dev/Creator Appreciation Week, EVE, FFXIV, Neverwinter, Secret World, Star Trek Online, WildStar, WoW
Developer Appreciation Week 2015
Today marks the final day of Developer Appreciation Week for 2015. Lots of folks around the blogosphere have been thanking Developers in games that have made a difference in their life (even a small one) left and right. While there have been many games I’ve played that have made a difference in my life, whether they be console, handheld, or one-shot computer games, I would like to specifically thank the MMO developers out there. Why? Belghast said it best: I have a hard time viewing these companies as the evil empires they are made out to be. No one sets out wanting to make a horrible product, and no one…

ThaydFest II, WildCast Podcast, and Yardcore
ThaydFest Last Sunday (the 15th), Black Dagger Society and a bunch of other guilds (in particular, Blazing Saddles) and folks on the Entity server (Exile side) put together an awesome WildStar event called ThaydFest! We had a bunch of people come out for all the events and hang out and just be awesome together. We held a housing contest called Lifestyles of Nexus where judges went around to folks’ houses and we came up with winners, whose plots are pretty damn awesome! You can see videos if you go look at the winners. Twitter was afoot with tons of pictures and streams and videos and comments. It was so great…

War Woolie, Nekkid Stormtalon, and His Head
This past weekend and Tuesday night were hopping good times in WildStar. Veteran Shiphands Sunday afternoon, we ran a few shiphands to get Golds so folks could unlock the AMP point (or is it the LAS? I can’t remember…). It was a blast, and I finally got in a Rage Logic. All of the shiphands are major fun, but I get more of a kick out of them as a guild group than anything. I discovered, for the first time ever, that there is a secret hidden up top in one of the shiphands–Outpost M-13. This little guy gets you an achievement when you click on him, and then follows…
