So now I’ve got a little more time under my WAR belt and I’m starting to notice a few things. Of course the “bad” things seem to stick out more than the “good” things, but here’s my Good-News, Bad-News tribute: The Good News: For open beta, the game seems very stable, playable, and uses solid game mechanics. Far better handling of massive amounts of peeps in one area than I expected. It gets notably laggy, but nothing like the game zone-crashes of WoW, or even DAoC of yesteryear, and it … Continue reading

I’ve got to hand it to Amazon this time. I sent an email outlining my problems and lo’ and behold they sent me an email with my key-codes. So I Will be getting into the open beta after all – and I thought I was going to be pouting all weekend.

Not much else to report on, just glad that those problems finally … Continue reading

He’s never bought anything from Amazon and so I’m thinking, he’s gonna love this ‘cuz I usually love Amazon – … Continue reading
The biggest event in August for me was the Preview Weekend for Warhammer. However in the blog, the biggest change was the unseating of my Hellgate post from its #1 position, which it has held since it’s initial publishing last November. Without further ado, my top five were: EVE – How To (with 127 hits) Hellgate Mini-Game and other goodies (with only 50 hits!?) EVE Mission Running (with 30 hits) Making Movies (with 20 hits) Hellgate London vs. Guild Wars (with 13 hits) In Search Engine terms, nothing terribly funny nor odd, the top five … Continue reading
Just wanted to take a quick poll on what folks thought was the ONE best thing and the ONE worst thing they encountered in WAR? For myself, I think the Best thing was finding the game in a very nearly “ready to release” state. I never thought to myself – “They’re thinking of releasing this in few weeks?!?!” Instead I kept thinking, “I can’t wait for open beta so I can play some more!” The Worst thing – which I really think was a fluke since this problem was introduced … Continue reading
