WAR: Heresy Mill, part 2

I’ve returned from making my information-gathering rounds for Inquisitrix Lady Stern and the Heresy Mill. The news is not as epic as the previous warning of a server-wide Armagaddon, but it’s still brand-new to the WAR community.
First, it seems that all the races in WAR are preparing for the upcoming holidays. Each race welcomes the [...]

WAR: Keg End – Server-wide Thunderdome Armageddon

There’s a rumor afoot, about happenings on December 17th, a “server-wide Thunderdome Armageddon”.  While the story below is mostly in-character, the communication from the Inquisitrix Lady Stern is real, revealing information about upcoming events in WAR. This is the second time Lady Stern has passed on information about upcoming events in Warhammer that I know [...]

WAR: Good night, post-patch

I wasn’t going to play WAR tonight, actually. I played quite a bit of Team Fortress 2 (man, I suck at TF2…I used to be good at FPS games! Back before Everquest came out, I guess…lol, that’s a long time ago), and I was just going to hop into WAR to check mail, do a [...]

WAR Mods: Am I the only one not using any?

There’s nothing I like less than patching my MMO client, and then having to spend time patching my mods. I did it in WoW for a while, but I got so tired of maintaining them that I ended up going with just the stock interface.
I haven’t tried a mod yet in WAR. Some people mentioned [...]

Agreement about the little things

I read a post by Risset over at The Inevitable City describing the little things that bother him about Warhammer. He hits on a couple things that irk me as well, and I have some additions. Thanks to Syp, who moved blog locations when I wasn’t looking, for posting the link to Risset’s post…good luck [...]

Some WAR links and thoughts

There are a couple WAR blog posts that I wanted to comment on, and I figured since I’m referencing more than one, I’d just make it a new post here.
Ravious over at Kill Ten Rats is wondering about the value of a subscription to a PvP MMO. I was interested in this post, because his [...]

Get your game face on: The Immersion Project

Gamers know about the game face. Friends staring blankly at the screen, lost in game-land, lost to the outside world. I know that I’ve laughed at my friends when I’ve caught them out there, completely unaware of their facial or body reactions to a video game, and I’ve definitely been laughed at for the same [...]

Speaking of T1/T2 groups…

Pete from Dragonchasers (I think it was Pete?) left a comment somewhere saying that he didn’t see too much talk about people in T1 or T2 on the Casualties forums. That may be true, but the Casualties forums aren’t as chatty as some message boards I’ve frequented (and that’s not a dig, I tend to [...]

WAR: Embracing losing

When I logged on last night, I picked my Shadow Warrior first, thinking I’d check out the new changes from the patch. There were quite a few Knights of the Burning Crusade…err, Knights of the Bloody Roundtab…no, that’s not it…Knights of the Burning Sea? Screw it. There were quite a few Knight alts, and they [...]

Academic responsibilities complete

I finished up my paper for my Master’s course today, mailed it off the professor, and all I’ve got left is a final next week. It feels good to be done with the bulk of the work, and it’s one more class down toward my degree.
I’m a shameless procrastinator, and it took far too long [...]
