Saint Patrick's Day Deviation

Just a deviation from the norm, some interesting things going on lately I thought I might comment on. Instead of dedicating a whole post about this or that, something I like to do once in awhile. Happy Saint Patrick's Day! *Pinches you readers.. *

To start off, I added a few new events to my Match event list. Some neat things are going on this month so I tried to add a few to the list. Of course the Everquest 11th year anniversary. Happy Birthday Everquest! Speaking of anniversary's, Runes of Magic is having the 1year celebration. Check out the list here, if you're interested in MMO events for this month.

AoC seems to be trying to keep everyone happy PvE and PvE alike. The update -Shrines of Bori- will be arriving before long. This will be the update leading up to the new expansion Rise of the Godslayer. It will also contain some mini-events which sounds reallyinteresting along with PvP content. It's always good when a game looks to keeping multiple types of players happy. You can find out more on the official site. 

DDO released their 'State of the Game' this week. Also to note, the upcoming patch for April will add in guild housing and a new race- Half Orcs. It will also add in new items, features and fixes. They state they will be adding in five more content updates this year. You can check out the news here in the DDO State of the Game announcement. Things are looking pretty promising. This is definitely a very cool game that appears to be moving along quite well since the release of the FTP version.

Free realms has some new additions- Horse and Pegasus mounts! They look truly fantastic. I want one! I think I will have to hold off until I play more again though. They also have a new mini game on the horizon Pirates Plunder, this will only be available to members though. Read more on these additions here.

World of Warcraft is leading up to Cataclysm, finally. Operation: Gnomeregan is about to get underway. And By retaking the Echo Isles will Vol'jin be able to honor his father and at long last secure a permanent homeland for the long-exiled Darkspear tribe. So we can hope to look forward to more of this soon it looks like. New mounts and pets have been listed on MMO-Champion for the upcoming patch, along with some additional changes.

In my reader I noticed a lot of whining! Today is also Whiny Post Day, according to Klepsacovic. I am not big on writing whiny posts so I must decline on that event today. Plus it's really Saint Patrick's Day!  Grab a brew and make a toast, not a whiny post! Yeah, kind of corny I suppose. I just try to keep away from a couple of things when blogging, whining or being vulgar. I don't play certain games because that mentality has really taken it's toll on so many gaming communities and I tend to keep this a place to get away from all that. No ill feelings towards those that participate, to each- his or her own.

So, that is all I have time for today. Happy Saint Patrick's Day all!
