Over the weekend I resubscribed to my multiple EVE Online Accounts and eagerly waded back in to mining while I figure out what my next training conquest will be. I think I’m going to try and tackle Manufacturing and Trading next. I’ve already put together a preliminary route, but I need to do some more research to see if it will actually be tenable. Round trip, it took me about 20mins to fly in a cruiser, so I’d guess it’ll take around 2-hours in a big industrial boat and actually stopping in and doing the … Continue reading

As I (slowly) advance in DDO, currently Level 4, I’m still enjoying the game quite a bit. I was a little worried the first time I went into a dungeon solo that didn’t allow “solo” as one of the difficulty settings, starting instead on the “normal” setting. But my dual-wielding Ranger didn’t really have any issues other than running out of arrows once in a while. I’m very much looking forward to when she’s levelled enough to be an “Arcane Archer” so I don’t have to keep loading up on arrows. Either … Continue reading
With the new “Free To Play” (F2P) release of Dungeons & Dragons Online (DDO) I thought I’d check it out last night, and actually it was a bit of fun. It had been so long since I’d logged into the game though, that my old characters were gone. Not that I ever played them for very long anyways, but it might’ve been nice not to have to trapse through the tutorials. Although it was probably a good idea for me to go through them again to re-familiarize myself with the … Continue reading
I had a nice gaming Labor Day. I started the weekend out with some Champions Online, and I think I’ve scratched that itch as much as I care to for now. Don’t get me wrong, it IS is good game, but I’ve never really glommed onto the super-hero meme. I mean, my favorite super-hero when I was a kid was Dr. Strange, and he’s really more like a mage than a super-hero. I’ll probably re-visit the game very irregularly, like I used to do with CoX, and I’ll probably drop … Continue reading
I started this article as a response to a post over at We Fly Spitfires’ blog, where in the comments many folks were implying that one really needs to be in a Corp. to have fun, or fully appreciate the EVE Online experience. Which, of course, I don’t fully agree. I guess it could be true if you’re really into constant PvP, watching your back, and political intrigue. I love occasional PvP, or what I call PvP on MY terms, like DAoC and WAR RvR. And to a certain extent, EVE’s … Continue reading
