Trying to tear myself away. . . .

At least long enough to  write up a little of what I’ve been doing.  Warhammer, of course, and a bit of Spore on the side. Plus work has been incredibly busy the last few weeks, including working weekends more often than not, ugh!  Oh well, it looks like things -might- be settling down a bit in November, but the rest of October is booked solid – including most weekends. Unfortunately as a “salaried” employee, I don’t get any overtime for all the extra work, maybe I’ll get an “atta boy” from … Continue reading

WAR – Post “open beta”

With a full week of game play, I’ve definitely narrowed the field dow a bit for what I predict I will end up playing most of the time in WAR.  I spent most of my time over on Destruction – and noticed they were severely underpopulated on the two servers I played on (Caledor and Chrace) – Dest. was constantly held to their war-camp’s “exit ramp” and rarely captured the RvR objectives for more than a few minutes at a time.  I usually only played Order on Chrace when I couldn’t get … Continue reading

The traffic is low, but steady, which is kind of what I expected. Traffic has been pretty stable between 250-500 views per month, with a … Continue reading

Warhammer – Preliminary Notes

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

Amazon Warhammer Redemption!

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 only that, but since I was in the Preview Weekend a couple weeks ago, I’ll be getting into the Open Beta a couple days early! WOOT! Not much else to report on, just glad that those problems finally … Continue reading
