I’ve been thin on content lately my friends – I had a large family wedding this weekend and this week a dear friend passed away, so I have been neck deep in friends and memorial arrangements. Here’s where I’m at:
EVE Online
I should be back in the fold as of tonight. I have plans and alot of future posts planned about those plans, so stay tuned. Mostly I’m excited to strap into that badass Command Cruiser and put it to good use in the coming PVE events in Incursions (when it finally drops I suppose). Also on the docket – T2 missiles and projectile weapons. Its time to diversify into the world of Minmatar. Kudos to EVE Online’s re-sub discount, its one of the reasons I’m back.
Fallen Earth
I am back in here as well, working my way through some content to catch up with my brother. Mostly I have my eyeballs on crafting though, as usual. I have a severe case of motorcycle envy, and and even worse case of submachinegun/shotgun envy. I’m trying hard not to blow all my points on Pistol to have one *now*. Kudos to Fallen Earth for their re-sub discounts. Its one of the main reasons I’m back. Seeing a trend here?
Star Trek Online
I am around 700 skill points shy of my Nebula and Akira. After that, I have no idea what, if anything, I will be doing in the game. I continue to be intrigued by Diplomacy though. Part of my slow progress in the game has been spending time (without spending Credits, because I know I will need them for the non-free Tier 3 ship) stringing together enough Diplo XP to open up more missions. I’d really love to see them spend more time in that category. I enjoy the space battles and land battles, but I need the exploration and conversational stuff thrown in to break up the monotony that can come from having an MMO where your skill bar has less than ten buttons on it instead of the normal thirty or so. One other request Cryptic – and a small thing I never thought I would miss – color code the quests by level. As it currently stands you have no way of seeing, until the quest is in your log, its difficulty relative to you. Gimme that old “grey to red” colorscale to help me sort them all out, m’kay?
Rifts: Planes of Telara
There may or may not be an Alpha. It may or may not have an NDA. I may or may not be in it.
Everquest II
I haven’t been playing but I’m excited. My wife and I’s ten year anniversary is upcoming. She asked me last week what I wanted. And I jokingly said “play some games with me.” She pursed her lips and replied “one night?” I said, “one for each year of marriage.” She frowned. “Okay,” I admitted, “I’m open to some negotiation here.” If it happens, and it looks like it might, this would probably be where we would play. No extra money, its pretty vanilla in terms of system, not alot of grieving going on, etc.
Pirates of the Burning Sea
Goes F2P this month, and it will be on like Donkey Kong.
The Reincarnation
I continue to urge you to this free warhorse of a game. Its been going on for over a decade now, and is fantastic. We are currently neck deep in a two front war, and about to open a third. Its my third or fourth set leading our guild, and we have truly grown into a veteran war guild. Despite the two front war, we have lost only one mage to each of those opponents, while slaying multiple foes on each front in response. And another two will probably be dead before the day is out. If you like strategic PvP, this is the place for you. I imagined that would apply to alot of you EVE pilots out there…
So that’s it. Add in my long reading list and my neglected novel for NaNoWriMo, and you’ve peeked inside my world this month. Was it good for you?
