I have been enjoying the new Blackwood expansion and the companion system. I have spent a bit of time in the new area, it is fun so far. I made a new character to quickly unlock companions and have been leveling since then. Overall having a great time, wanted to pop in and share some shots today. I'm still here, just working a lot these days. Enjoy the shots!<span><a name='more'></a></span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z83FoxFLEZk/YO97XlbQH-I/AAAAAAABzDU/Ui2o_c0kMdobl0QeSOerw6W2jhnEUF1iACLcBGAsYHQ/s1920/Screenshot_20210714_083037.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

I am still here!.. just working too much. Last year I started working part time which went into full time and then switching jobs, thinking that working from home would be more laid back, it's not, and working more than ever, meh. I work for Humana Insurance currently and it is a very straining job, if you're wondering what I do. I am still playing my MMO games loving every moment though!<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><br />This year I am enjoying Warcraft. New expansion, new shiny stuff. The expansion is good, love the zones and the covens. I love all the cosmetic changes that we got with the expansion, and there are a lot with each coven as well as the update to many of the classic races, you can even gener change in the barbershop. Humans are awesome and Clo got a make over to be a Human. I was not a huge fan of the pre-patch but I love the xpac. The covens are a nice added flavor to the game. Tons of really cool mounts that are fairly easy to get, tons of transmog options with the covens, it's good. Clo my main, the hunter, has made it to end game working though daily stuff and coven leveling. I recently made a baby human warlock just to play through old content for kicks as well.</p><p>I had so much I wanted to post about in 2020 that I never got around to, now it just all mushes together. I had some surgery over the summer, cosmetic but still it took a toll on me working full time and family visiting, I just felt terrible for the neglecting the blog. I may have several stretches' of screenshot posts with small captions just to keep myself going between bigger posts until I get more time on my hands to do longer more thought out posts. Some thoughts to start out the year with what I have been playing to start off the new year!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2MoNQ3_SSjU/YANfsi0oE8I/AAAAAAABqzQ/ZGhGou7rh4M13X3_E-voYCgSkuGyz5hFQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1920/WoWScrnShot_121320_135530.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2MoNQ3_SSjU/YANfsi0oE8I/AAAAAAABqzQ/ZGhGou7rh4M13X3_E-voYCgSkuGyz5hFQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h360/WoWScrnShot_121320_135530.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>World of Warcraft's Shadowlands is gorgeous. The story is very interesting, it is heavily story based, but you already know this if you play. My thoughts are the art team outdid themselves, as always, the zones are gorgeous and full of wonder. Though there is a smaller feeling about this expansion, it just feels smaller-- the world, even though a lot of work has been put into detail, story and the covens. The enormity of things feels shifted, I wonder if it is just the way the genre is heading. </p><p>There are so many bits of flavor the story that just bleed into the whole expansion, which I truly enjoy. For instance Sinrunner Blanchy is a mount in this expansion that pulls from Westfall, as Alliance starting out in Westfall Blanchy was always there standing at the start of the zone part of the game, we have always known, a regular, a familiar. Until Westfall was revamped, Old Blanchy is there only as a corpse. In shadowlands the familiar equine of Warcraft's youth is still remembered, a cold, lonely lost soul found in the Shadowlands. Whart are the shawodlands? That's where you go when you TRULy die in Warcraft! In this xpac Blanchy shows up every two hours or so and requires care for several days after which the player is able to gain Sinrunner Blanchy as a mount, which the whole story is just as epic as this mount is. Easily one of the most stunning mounts in the game in visuals and sound. The tidbits in Shadowlands are satisfying. It isn't prefect, I do wish working though covenants felt faster paced. Some days I skip days and feel more left behind than ever due to the limitations on quests. All in all the expansion is as solid upgrade. I actually purchased a six month sub to this game.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0xJn0RjCjQE/YANhmY3e--I/AAAAAAABq0k/KcZejDrjy5ImcndVHvOh2FcLt9qtsLPlwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1920/EQ2_000003.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1016" data-original-width="1920" height="338" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0xJn0RjCjQE/YANhmY3e--I/AAAAAAABq0k/KcZejDrjy5ImcndVHvOh2FcLt9qtsLPlwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h338/EQ2_000003.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />EQ2 had an expansion too. I purchased the CE in order to gain the new race, the Vah Shir, a race that has been in the first EQ since 2000. The race is cool looking, cat people, which seem to use the same body structure as the Sarnak race. Luclin is the theme of this expansion, as well as the last. I have not progressed in either, even though I have purchased both. Developers claim they are catering to the community with more hard core play, no objective showing on map, no direction showing, which causes me to to have to wiki/google every quest. If I had one wish for Everquest 2 it would be the team went and added quest markers though all the content, skip an expansion and do it if you have to, think of the gains. I do not have the time to do this for such an aging game... I take that back, any game, please just make things easier for me to navigate through generic quests. At the end of my day my brain is fried and I want to shove money down your throat, except I am too tired to google every stinking quest so instead I log off. Disappointing for EQ2 until this changes. Otherwise the game is amazing still, phenomenal amount of content, amazing development for what they work with. I cancelled my sub.... but read further on to see more.<p></p><p>I have been playing Rift steadily for years, the new owners of this IP have not added any new content, it is in limbo but still there, I log on here and there, it is my housing fix and for that I do throw some money into the cash shop when I see something cosmetic I like, just as a hey I still love Rift, keep the doors open gesture. I wish we could get an expansion but I'm not holding my breath. Another in this category as less played but still playing actively, but paying a sub towards is SWTOR as long as they pump out content I will subscribe to play it. I have an active sub and I enjoyed the current story update. The game is still good, with alts and daily activities there is always something to do, still a major love, happy to see the game getting updates, although I do wish we had a big grand expansion to breathe more life into the stagnant corners of the game.</p><p>Last but not least Everquest. While my EQ2 account was cancelled, I did actually subscribe again which counts as all access (probably the best sub value out there in the genre, all access) to play Everquest. Dire saw me putzing around on a new server, Xegony, and decided to run a box team of four characters to play with my...one, lol. Everquest gets xpacs every year and for what it is, it is probably the best value for money as there is a lot to do with the way the game works. It is easier content to pop out, using many EQ2 art resources it is probably easier to churn this out than it is for EQ2. That and the way the game works with more grinding than quest focused. It still offers a lot of great content on a very fast basis. The studio was sold off last year for several million dollars and it is this Flagship that holds the banner for this studio IMO. Still going strong with a very decent population over two decades after it's launch. So yeah, that's what we are playing together, still love it 20 something years later. It is more laid back and I'm glad, I started when I was 23 now I'm 43. </p><p>For 2021 with all the garbage that's going on I just hope to see MMO games hanging in there. Happy new year, everyone. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-orTIfgpbxh4/YANgNI6biJI/AAAAAAABqzc/gOe1KRT_l6kuIou-Vs1JGOhtyD3g_8npgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1920/WoWScrnShot_011521_210028.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I've just been busy working, switching jobs to a work at home position, surgery, family visits, got my first tattoo, lol, and all in all it has been a great summer wrapping into a nice fall. Mostly playing WoW, there was a lull for awhile in gaming but the fall is bringing expansions and events around the corner.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>Dire and I were playing EQ for quite some time, he managed to end up six boxing which around the time I sort of dropped off after work just drained me and would make me too tired to play. He managed to make a lot of money, do a lot of fun things but it was all a bit much for me. Mostly I have stuck to GW2, EQ2 events mostly there, Rift for housing here and there and WoW because there is a lot to do still, especially with unlocking flying and leveling alts before the expansion.</p><p>Dire has returned to WoW, he almost skipped this whole expansion so it has been a lot of catching up for him and learning all the new systems. We do a lot of daily quests, the cloak upgrading and old raids together, we've gotten some cool mounts from the old raid achievements. I am glad he is back, we're working on flying now, mostly all we have is faction, which is going slow.</p><p>The expansion has been pushed back, so that gives us more time to work on some alts. I do look forward to actually playing new content but in the meantime we do have the pre-patch coming soon. As a hunter I look forward to taming new pets that will be available! Mainly I still play the hunter 90% of the time.</p><p>Today I just wanted to get a post up while I have a few spare minutes to update and share some screenshots. </p><p><br /></p><p>Safe adventures all!</p><p><br /></p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Recently I've delved into some older titles in the MMO world. I checked out Archeage again, there is a new leveling path so I wanted to see how much had changed. I also heard that Lineage 2 is still popular, both the classic and live servers, I hopped in to see what has changed there. Then I popped back into Secret World Legends just because I really felt in the mood for the horror setting and I'm trying to finish up one more character in WoW before the expansion hits.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'll start off with some thoughts on Archeage. The new leveling path is a bit faster, it seems to navigate you to catch up with more of the population and really blows through most of the zones. If you're not careful you can miss important quests and grabbing things like the boat, gliding and mounts, I wish they had incorporated them into the leveling patch but I managed to grab them all with a little bit of backtracking. I still don't like the PvP aspect of the game, I had a bad time with my packs being taken in my previous experiences but this time I had zero issues with anyone bothering me. I did play on the regular servers, not on the unchained. I saw a lot of people, but it seemed a lot less populated than my first go around, I assume a lot of people have moved to AA Unchained, but I wasn't in the mood to subscribe to just get a feel for things. I created a spell caster which had a nice flow to it. The game hasn't aged too well graphically and I ended up turning the settings all the way down because I dislike the glowing aspect when they are turned up. Overall I had a nice time and will consider playing it more if I'm able to find some land eventually. The game still has a nice draw to it, decent combat, interesting crafting and side activities. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lineage two is a title I have not touched in years, the last time I played it was probably around 2007 and it was only subscription based. Things were slow, I didn't get very far and didn't really stick around long. Now it is free to play with a choice for subbing. The live servers are so populated that you can only create characters about once a month within a 24 hour window after maintenance. There seems to be an issue with botting and that is the measure taken to try to combat this. I had to wait a few days to create a character but the classic servers have no holds on character creation so I tried that too. Both versions are <i>very</i> populated. With the new live tutorial in about an hour of playtime I hit level 85. I blew through everything, leaving me to grind some levels out and not a huge idea of where anything was but it wasn't terribly complicated. Overall I loved the combat and classes. I picked a summoning class and enjoyed the mechanics and combat style. The classic server was a bit slower but with doing the daily quest you gain scrolls that give you a timed boost to speed up mana regen and damage, thus getting me to level 15 with a class choice picked out in no time. Classes change every few levels and you move towards the path of your choosing. I liked classic a lot but once I was sent out in the world to an area to quest at 15, everything was dead or died as soon as it spawned, so many people. There is auto afk combat and I think many were doing this, since it was late when I played. Overall both are free to try, same client and totally worth checking out if you're looking for something with a classic feel or just wanted to try out Lineage 2 and never got around to it. I didn't have any issues with PvP either.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On a whim I decided to play some Secret World Legends, it took a little bit to figure out where I was, what I was doing and what was going on with my build but it was easy to get a feel for things and jump back in after I messed around for a few minutes. I love the story, the setting, the ambiance. It has such a unique feeling to it, unlike any other MMO I play. It is almost realistic but not in the cheesey generic superhero MMO setting, more like jumping into a great movie, book or TV show. The music is stellar. The zones have so much detail and feeling, I just love it. However I do not like the gear system, it is so slow and takes so many items to build each up by feeding it items then combining two of the same level and rarity. You can bypass this with cash shop items, no clue how expensive that would be. That has probably been my biggest gripe with the game, it just feels a bit slow and tedious. Aside from the slow gear grind I do enjoy the missions and exploring the world, very refreshing and different than your run of the mill theme-park. </div>

I'm working on a Death Knight on Argent Dawn in Warcraft, I'd like to have a max level Alliance character there. I hit 90 with my DK this week and with the xp buff and flagging PvP on for an XP boost, it is going very quickly. I'm excited for the new expansion, even the class changes, some promising stuff I look forward to seeing for some more class flavor. Hopefully I'll get to 120 before then! Sharing some pics on the way out :) Safe adventures!</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My time in BDO has been quite fun. Overall a fun game filled with many 'sandboxy' choices of things to do. Grinding, questing, cooking, taming horses, everything gives XP. I'm sitting at 49 now, not playing nearly as much but still a game I very much like! My biggest gripe is inventory space! Sharing some shots of my time back in the game.<a name='more'></a></td></tr>

What was once considered a hobby<br />
just for geeks, is now one of the world’s favorite pastimes, bringing players of all ages with different<br />
interests into the fold. It’s not surprising that so many people not find comfort in gaming. With the<br />
easy access to tech nowadays, and how most video games have improved by aiming at different<br />
niches, there’s a game out there for everyone. But why are MMORPGs among the most popular<br />
games out there? Here are the main reasons.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>Variety</b><br />
There truly are online games for everyone nowadays. Casino loves, for instance, have the chance to<br />
enjoy a large selection of table games and slots from the comfort of their own homes at online<br />
casinos. If this seems enticing, then you can <a href="https://www.casimba.com/en-gb/">try this site out</a>, and if not, you don’t have to worry one<br />
bit since you’re a google search away from finding any type of game your heart desires on the<br />
vastness of the internet. While MMOs might have started by aiming at fantasy lovers, nowadays we can find MMOs in practically every genre imaginable out there. The classic fantasy MMORPG might have extended way beyond its expected audience, but that wide interest is also what inspired developers to create MMOs in different niches and fields of interest that weren’t their first intention.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Social Aspect</b><br />
Possibly the biggest reason why MMORPGs became as big as they are is because of the social aspect<br />
they bring to the table. While previous games allowed up to about a dozen players to interact with<br />
each other in-game, MMOs took things way further by creating massive fantasy worlds where<br />
thousands of players could simultaneously co-exist. This opened up a whole new range of<br />
opportunities that sent gamers into a frenzy.<br />
The fact that life-long friendships and even some romantic relationships have been formed with the<br />
help of MMORPGs is undeniable. Being allowed to communicate with players from all over the world made it easier for people to connect with others that share common interests and even expand their horizons by learning about new cultures. <br />
<br />
<b>Entertainment</b><br />
At their core, the purpose of all video games is to provide us entertainment for at least a couple of<br />
hours, and in this regard, MMORPGs have had i<a href="https://www.pcgamer.com/the-best-mmos/">ncredible success</a>. Intertwining with the previously<br />
mentioned reasons, the entertainment aspect of MMORPGs is something that shouldn’t be<br />
underestimated. The fact that players were given massive worlds with incredible details to explore<br />
easily allowed players to immerse themselves in this virtual reality. From an endless amount of impossible quests to boss raids that required immense strategy, MMORPGs have no limits or end. Players can constantly keep grinding to upgrade their skills, items, magic, and much more. And of course, there’s nothing more entertaining than a bit of competition, and the player vs player option in most games provided the best type of fun you can find anywhere.<br />

<br />
Animal Crossing New Horizons came out at the end of last month and it looked like a lot of fun. I've been playing that a good bit lately, EQ, and some other stuff. Sharing some thoughts on what I've been playing this month and what I'm looking forward to.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c6o4k5L_JGk/Xo6wGzfZtlI/AAAAAAABevs/x4S9e4p0uJUpGqKb0LeDHTflsnAqH2gLQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_20200406_161526_152.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="928" data-original-width="1238" height="239" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c6o4k5L_JGk/Xo6wGzfZtlI/AAAAAAABevs/x4S9e4p0uJUpGqKb0LeDHTflsnAqH2gLQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_20200406_161526_152.jpg" width="320" /></a>ACNH is a lot of fun, it is beautiful, adorable and just plain out relaxing. It still is a daily game with long term goals and plenty of waiting for this and that. My main gripe is storage issues, much as I have with all of the Animal Crossing games I have played. But this release feels much more flexible, although Pocket Camp is very flexible just expensive if you want the cool stuff. There is plenty of cool stuff to obtain in New Horizons, and I don't feel bad for not having to pull out my wallet for every event that comes by (looking at you--> Pocket Camp). I'm pretty much loving it, not playing it as much as I would like to, but it is a great way to relax at the end of the day. Highly recommend it if you have a switch.<br />
<br />
Going to the switch from the 3DS, I was really on the fence. I love how compact even my 3DS XL is. I like the touch screen on the bottom and the control layout, as well as the power button far more. I think the Switch is a bit clunky and large, I have a really awesome animal crossing case but it stays in the dock charging more than in the case it seems. The upsides to the switch would be playing it on the TV, the flexibility with controllers snapping on and off, it's like Voltron, lol, combining and popping apart. Playing Mario Kart with dire is a lot of fun and we could pull off the controllers and each use one, even though they were clunky, I'll need to get a different controller eventually for that. But the console does come with a device that meshes both into one controller which is really nice. Overall I like it a lot, glad we have it, and I'm really enjoying ACNH. I'm not a huge console player, I love my PC and probably like the tablet/phone mobile ease of games more than I used to, but Nintendo always seems to be the way I go with handhelds and consoles. I also think <a href="https://pso2.com/landing">PSO2</a> is releasing on the switch (eventually), very cool if so. It's also coming to us in NA for PC soon, can't wait. A real great game.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Urm46C1NKVc/Xo6wScvCVZI/AAAAAAABev0/pCrpwtm8FAUQGOJsos3Mfhwuv6Dn-3G7wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/EQ002034.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="848" data-original-width="1600" height="338" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Urm46C1NKVc/Xo6wScvCVZI/AAAAAAABev0/pCrpwtm8FAUQGOJsos3Mfhwuv6Dn-3G7wCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/EQ002034.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Besides that Dire and I are still playing EverQuest. Our longest stint in quite a while. We do a lot, and I mean a lot, of missions in the dead hills. It gets sort of repetitive but we have gotten some nice gear for out latest duo/trio the 2 beastlords and his bard, it's easy content for us and decent xp, plus he loves doing them. We do about two a night, most nights. On our anniversary boosted toons we've passed the mains on this current server, sitting at just under 98, we'll probably get that tonight. The melee group seems so much tougher and kills so much faster, it is a real change. Very interactive and a really strong group for us to play. Nothing is really new in EQ with us, we still have yet to do much in the new content, but there is always so much to do. Dire also picked up Mount & Blade II Banner Lord, I'm excited to see him play that as he's been waiting <b><i>years</i></b> for it to release.<br />
<br />
I still log into Rift almost every day. Rift has nothing new, I wish we could get some new content, but it is easy to log in do my stuff with selling, minions and lots of dimension decorating. I love playing Rift still, not sure what the future holds but it is and has been a staple in my gaming for the longest time now, probably because of the awesome housing. If anything between crafting and dimensions, I get some cool screenshots.<br />

<br />
<br />
My WoW account is about to expire, I still love playing but it sort of feels stale with this expansion. I have plenty to do, but I think I am ready for the new xpac to hit. I want to renew but I don't know if I have the time, I decided on a whim I wanted something with <i>so much to do</i> and remembered I have a BDO account. Black Desert Online has so much stuff to do, so much to learn. My main is low, in the 20's so there is so much to see. So much to figure out. The game has a <i>lot</i> of depth. It has mounts, mount taming, pets, you can have multiple pets out at once, houses, many of them, just all kinds of things waiting for you. I suppose it is the getting lost and just doing all these different things really appeals to me in a time when so many games feel a bit neglected and stagnant these days. I am in no rush to level, just learning the game and having fun along the way is all I need right now!<br />
<br />
What have you been playing? Are you playing the same games or any at all these days? Safe adventures!<br />

Hope everyone is staying safe out there with all the crazy that is going on as of late. I kind of slowed down on posting over the past couple of months, I just wasn't playing more or less anything seriously, besides ACPC on my android. This month I picked up more with my MMO games. Speaking of, Animal Crossing is coming out on the switch and I've been playing a bit of mobile games on my tablet. I may buy a switch from my brother just to play the new Animal Crossing, it looks amazing.<br />

As with Everquest there isn't always a lot to share, some nights we do the same mission over and over, other times we'll farm something. If you have a gold account (subscriber) this month, you can get a free heroic boosted toon, in celebration of the anniversary-- 21 years!! I'll have a beer to you, EverQuest, lol. I started in 2000, 20 years ago, but I do remember it being around before I played. It just feels like yesterday, or, you know, like a blink ago that I was playing EverQuest and meeting Dire. I am thankful it is still very much alive and kicking, it is still a fantastic MMO that has tried to keep up the best it can, trying to keep up with the times in its own way. <br />
<br />
Dire and I decided to boost a couple of Beastlords and he also did a bard to box with them. It is a very strong team with some great dps. He is having a lot of fun with team, I suggested it being a change to what we normally play. We've gotten our mains (Mage/Enchanter) on Brekt to the low 90's around 92. There is a lot to do, lots of anniversary stuff to dive into with 50% bonus xp for roughly a month. There are a couple of progression servers heading out way soon, one will be named Aradune which is touching to see the game/team honor the late Brad McQuaid. Very cool.<br />
<br />
Server mergers inc! We mainly play on FV but have taken a break to play on the Brekt server, which seems to be merging with FV, irony!You can read about the merges, events, xp, boosts and all that <a href="https://www.everquest.com/news/anniversary-21-overseer-xp-march-2020">here on the official page</a>.<br />

WoW has plenty to do, I have been working on the new world content little by little. I haven't unlocked flying, not sure if I will, I usually do but I have a lot of catching up left. Still the hunter is my main, then with the CE Expansion I got a boost and took my 110 lock to 120 thinking I'd swap mains but I still have a lot of fun on the hunter and find myself on her more than any other character. There is a lot to do in general, things are better than when I last played at the end of the year but I still look forward to the expansion, new places to see.<br />

Rift hasn't had anything new but I log in and do some daily stuff, sell, holiday events. It is easy to log in and goof off with. The population isn't dead, but it has bottomed out. I even had a troll message the other day, I've never been overly found of the general community in Rift, rabid things some of them. The Carnival event is here and there is a sweet new Dimension available, pictured below. I can't wait to make something out of it.<br />
<br />
I have not picked up the EQ2 expansion. I have't really played, I missed the last round of holidays this year. I just haven't been fond of the past few expansions and everything instanced, kills taking forever on some classes to get through the expansion. I do miss it but I need the xpac still. I did get the EQ expansion this time around though, so I don't feel so bad.<br />

GW2 has some new content out, I am working on that currently, so far so good. Easy peasy on the Mesmer, but some of the fights feel drawn out thus far. I like it and welcome new stuff. This time we're heading to the EOTN (Eye of The North). It's cool to see these zones in the new game since I played through in the first game. I should play some GW1, it is still a lot of fun, once in a blue moon I pop in and grab my birthday gifts. I need to delete a character to make a Dervish.... Ugh. Decisions, lol.<br />
<br />
Closing with some recent shots, enjoy! (WoW, EQ, Rift) Stay Safe out there IRL, and safe adventures!<br />

Ding, it's my birthday today! I am heading out to meet Dire for dinner tonight but I have some time to kill and I thought I'd get a post up about what I have been up to and some stuff going on in the MMO realm. Sometimes I am the last to know about these things, lol.<br />

Somehow Age of Conan slipped under my radar for most of this year with the new(ish) <a href="https://www.ageofconan.com/news/unconquered_mode">Unconquered mode</a> where you basically play 1-80 without dying. There are rewards for milestones at 20,40,60 and 80. If you die you don't lose your character but you lose progress and must start over on a new character if you want to push for 80. I really don't know if I can make it to 80 in AoC without dying but I thought it would be fun to try to see how far I could get. I rolled up a new Demonologist and it has been fun so far, I have yet to hit even 20 but I just made her today. It is comforting and relaxing playing, and it is also great to see things like this added to the game for another aspect of play. So, I will be working on this as a project on the side seeing how far I can make it!<br />

Dark Age of Camelot went <a href="https://darkageofcamelot.com/content/endless-conquest-faq">free to play</a>! Finally, huh? I also popped in to give it a go. There are a limited number of classes to play as free to play, but with a game offering around 45 class choices, there is a very large pool to pick from in the free to play form. The game has had some updates over the years, there are tons of quests to do to get you on your way to the cap, mounts, armor, lots of helpful rewards in the PvE element. I always play on the Co-Op server but I hear the PvP servers are a bit more populated since opening the doors to F2P. It is worth checking this one out if you haven't, the game has a lot to see and do, it isn't nearly as archaic as you may think and gives a true tutorial when you play through the quests.<br />

Last but not least Dire and I have returned to EverQuest. We're playing around with some new alts on Brekt again and I am sure we'll play on FV with our mains as well. For my Birthday I ended up getting a retroactive CE for EQ, one that I missed on this account years ago, it comes with several cool mounts, mercs and big bags. Very excited to be back, there is an expansion hitting soon, I'm sure we'll get it after the new year as we still have a lot of stuff to keep us busy for the time being, Dire might get the itch to level again soon though. We have a friend playing there on Brekt and hope to catch up with him sometime and play, it is good to be back with Dire though!<br />
<br />
That's it for today, has anything passed you by lately? Safe adventures!<br />

There are a few anniversaries at the end of this year, EQ2 and WoW are both 15! The blog here is 10! It feels like time just is flying by and it was only yesterday I started this blog. Hopefully I'm still blogging for years to come, a bit more than I do these days at least.<br />

EQ2 and WoW currently have anniversary events going on. I have not really done much in EQ2 because I mostly play on test and you really have to coordinate times there since the population is so small, so I have not taken part in the new event added this year, but there is a cool mount to grab if you can log in and get that done. It is also the Christmas season on Test so I have been playing around with that mostly when I do log in.<br />

WoW has a really great mount addition this year, the Death Wing mount. It looks fantastic and you can easily do it using LFR. The looking for raid part took me about an hour I think, pretty easy overall. This raid consists of past raid bosses phasing you in and out of different times, interesting and fun, not too big of a time sink, very glad I got it. There is also a cute pet for logging in.<br />
<br />
Both events are lasting for awhile. EQ2 also has the expansion prelude event going on, there are lots of housing and fluff items to grab while it is around. EQ2 has an expansion coming out before the end of the year with a familiar/pet that gives some great stats if you pre-order. WoW also has some items in the CE but the xpac still seems a ways off, next year. I usually get a CE for my birthday every year. Next week is my birthday so I am thinking EQ2 as the xpac is close and I do want the pre-order pet.<br />

I haven't gotten around to doing a post on SWTOR's new expansion, Onslaught. It is very quick for the story but I enjoyed it. There were changes to lower companion power and it makes it a bit of a slog through some content, not a fan of that so I haven't played much since finishing the story and hotting the cap, which go hand in hand. Overall it is worth subbing for if you like the story, past that it seems a bit light on content but maybe I just missed some stuff. There are a few returning companions, all of which anyone can add to their roster regardless of class, which is awesome.<br />

Lots of big news with some sad news Brad McQuaid passes away last week, which was very sad to hear. He had such a hand at this genre that we love, he had his moments, ups and downs but he was a huge impact on how we game online, I was shocked to hear the news. I hope that Pantheon, his latest project is able to still move forward in spite of this loss. Also Matt McDonald passed just days later, he worked on EverQuest and Vanguard as an animator and modeler. Big losses this month, such sad news.<br />
<br />
That's it for today, I have just been SO busy lately and not had much time to post. Thanks for stopping in over the last ten years here!<br />

The EverQuest 2 Halloween seasonal content, <a href="https://www.everquest2.com/news/eq2-nights-of-the-dead-oct-2019">Nights of The Dead</a>, is out now. I play mainly on test so I've been messing around with it for a little bit already. This year we get a new quest, some new items, tons of stuff to craft and collect. I have a new house to fill up with items, so that is a fun project to work on. The prelude event, ahead of the next expansion is also in swing, with lots of great items. The quests are easy and quick to finish up to grab what you want. Looks like the next expansion will hit in December or so, I still have not caught up on test with the current expansion but I will eventually.<br />

<br />
I also made a new Paladin on test, I love running though old content on EQ2 and the best time to play are the holidays. That is if you're a housing/fluff freak like me. There is also a broom mount out this year, for station cash. The animations look nice and it is a really cool and unique mount, one I have always wanted! Females sit sideways, which is cute too. EQTC has a great preview of all the goodies for the event <a href="http://eq2.eqtraders.com/articles/article_page.php?article=q586&menustr=080000000000">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Rift had a post with a <a href="http://forums.riftgame.com/general-discussions/news-announcements/509652-team-letter-september-25-2019-a.html">team letter</a>, which holds some promise that Rift has a future. It's nice to hear something about that and the team has been cycling events. I'm glad to see it still going, I would be glad to see new world content, new areas even if no level increase, just things to do. At least we have word that the game has stuff in store after the data centers are moved to a new location.<br />
<br />
I mentioned Astellia in my last post, which I never played. It's buy to play and I was thinking free to play, currently I am waiting to see reactions before I think about purchasing a game I may not even really be into. I think the only end game is PvP or dungeons, so we'll see on that. Eternal Magic wasn't bad, I tried that for a few days. It is a more classic, old school, 2004 feeling game. It is dated but I didn't mind, I just don't know if it has enough to hold me personally. It gives free mounts, lots of really cute pets, it has housing eventually and leveling is really fast. It does have some issues, for instance I joined a LFG dungeon and the group was already finished, heh. I did get rewards, I suppose that was a plus on my end. Besides being very dated the cash shop is mind boggling at how expensive things are. It really the most expensive cash shop I have ever seen with mounts that cost over 100$. The game does have charm though, it also has all the basic classes you will find in most MMO games.<br />
<br />
Also I saw on massively a couple of Sandboxes: <a href="https://dotbigbang.com/">DotBigBang</a> and <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/488440/Angeldust/">Angeldust</a>. Angeldust looks further along, and looks to have more stability in their current beta forums. Dotbigbang is very neat, looks very interesting with lots of building to do but it is browser based and has more lag issues in the current state. Angeldust was a bit more confusing on where to head off to what to do once you pop in game. If you're looking for something sandbox wise, these are two good options from what I checked out.<br />
<br />
I'm back at in WoW, mainly leveling up a Void Elf so I can unlock the racial armor, I'm sitting at 96 right now, hopefully not too much longer until I have that under my belt. Halloween is right around the corner in WoW, not a lot of new stuff but it does offer things to do. I doubt I bother with classic right now, having more fun in retail currently.<br />

Dire and I are playing WoW together on a private server, I prefer retail but he likes the idea of the WoTLK locked server, it is different from retail, much like classic. I am not big on playing on private servers but I don't really have issues with them, I still have a sub for retail, and that is where I seriously play. Dire is having fun, I keep trying to get him to play classic, he watches a lot of streamers with PvP. I think he would want to play on a PvP server. I would play with him on one, but it wouldn't be my first choice at all. Years ago I played on PvP servers and it was a huge amount of wasted time, PvP is fun but not all the time for me. The server we are playing together on is an older established one, WoW-Mania. I like it, things are slower paced, the world looks different and things are how I remember them the most, it is different going back and doing those old quests at a slow pace. I'm happy to play something with him again.<br />
<br />
I hope to pop into GW2 tonight to play through the Mad King's Realm and open some halloween goodie bags! The seasonal stuff is always so much fun to see come back around.<br />
<br />
That's it for now, safe adventures!<br />

I really enjoyed playing EverQuest over the summer with Dire, we gained many levels and he maxed out his Shadow Knight at 110 while I sit at 107 with the SK/Druid duo. We did a lot of progression content which I never really have done. There is a lot to see and do in EverQuest still, so much content to delve into.<br />

It wasn't actually me who drifted away this time. Shocking, I know. I looked forward to our duo, but I think the progression content seemed to burn Dire out. I don't know if it was the fact that the quests grow more tedious as you get towards newer content or the need to look up every single step. He ended up getting burnt out and wanting to take a break. The game shifts gears as you get to the cap, it gets better with a boxing team and I think that was partly the deal too, he got tired of dragging a box around with us everywhere. He loves to box but I suppose he doesn't always want to feel he needs to. I am disappointing to report that we are taking another EQ break, I had more fun this time around, seeing more of the game than ever. I do hope to pick this game back up soon, I actually miss playing EQ with him.<br />
<br />
He did make a new GW2 character with me but our characters are still sitting at level seven. I've been looking for what would be a great duo MMO and pretty much this is one of the better options. I hope it will gain some traction. GW2 is a great game and a nice and easy game to play a duo.<br />

I have been jumping into GW2 more than anything when I play alone, there is always something to do like world map completion, events, world bosses cycling continually and so on. We also had a new update bringing with it a new map. The map is very reminiscent of Pre-Searing Ascalon from the first game. It cycles through events, has some interesting bits about it but it is different than most other maps we've received, it is more of an event map. I hop in to check out events but that is about it so far. There is a concert event with musicians and all kinds of crazy things going on at once, it has been really well received. I have had a lot of fun doing the event as well. It is definitely dun and worth checking out, it has a very festive feeling to it.<br />
<br />
I don't know what really happened with Classic WoW. I got really fed up with queue times and then my sub lapsed. I think I logged in more to play retail, I ended up getting my hunter suited up in some better gear and doing some of the new areas, having an overall nice time. I do want to play through classic, then I think how I did it when it was current and maybe it isn't as enticing as I thought it would be, heh. I have, however, gotten to live though it through my sons eyes. He was in elementary school when WoW released and while he did play he was just a kid putzing around and so this time around he's really loved it. He hit 60 very quickly, has been raiding and doing old dungeon runs. He saved up and got a mount quickly, he's really flourished, but he also spends a lot of time playing, something I don't really want to do. Dungeon runs that I spent hours doing years ago, I don't really want to do again now. I am happy to see Classic WoW so widely received and enjoy hearing and seeing how much people are enjoying it. Classic WoW is still great in many ways, I had a blast when it was current. I may bite the bullet and play just to play something with my son, I need to sooner than later though.<br />
<br />
EQ2 has the summer panda event going on as well as some stuff for the expansion prelude, I need to hop onto a test and check things out, where I mainly play anymore. There are a couple of new MMO games to check out. Right now I am downloading <a href="https://playeternalmagic.com/">Eternal Magic</a> which released into open beta today. Tomorrow <a href="https://www.astellia-mmo.com/event/event2/">Astellia</a> opens up for play also. They both look like they will be fun to try out if anything. I am always craving something new to try, hopefully there will be some interesting stuff to report back on. That's my plan for my next post. That's it for today, safe adventures!<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Today I wanted to add some shots from the<i> EverQuest: House of Thule</i> expansion. Dire and I have been working through progression on our characters, his SK is 107 and climbing towards the cap and my druid is 96. I'm catching up, we could grind and I could catch up pretty quickly but we though progression through expansion content would be a fun thing to work on together and have done a lot thus far. I thought it might be interesting to share some shots that show the later game, even though this content is around eight years old. There are nice things to gain by doing progression content, it's a great way to learn the zones as well. We're still using <a href="http://everquest.allakhazam.com/">ZAM</a> , which is a massive help. If you click on the wiki tab it links down to progression for each xpac. I'm thankful that people still update it and maintain it! We're having a lot of fun and it gives us some goals to work towards! Enjoy the shots.<a name='more'></a></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">So, classic just launched, technically yesterday, it's midnight here and I wanted to make a quick post. I was in a queue of over 6k people and somehow got in within the first five minutes. I had to log out for a few and hopped on later to try to play but the lag is so terrible that I couldn't even play. Things will settle down in time. My son has gotten quite a bit ahead of me but maybe I can catch up tomorrow! It is quite annoying not to be able to really play but it is nice to see classic WoW so well received. I actually just started back on the new content with retail and have been having fun with that, so it is something else to do for now. I'm on the Pagle server, my son and bother are playing there, but I have been thinking of trying a low pop server, lol. Sharing a few shots of how packed it was at release. Wish I had more to share! If you're playing, hopefully you're having more fun than I have been able to!<a name='more'></a></td></tr>

For the past few weeks Dire and I have kept at EverQuest, there is something relaxing and fun about EverQuest that you can't find in faster paced newer games. We were going to level and progress through content but I suggested we stop and work on the Epic 1.0 quests and then do the same for the other epics. So that's what we've been working on.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yiR8RI8AjEM/XTu25UV25OI/AAAAAAABSBs/rMUzTcMgr-8yQPtxd5IqJRQy5y0KVROjgCLcBGAs/s1600/EQ000751.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="848" data-original-width="1600" height="338" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yiR8RI8AjEM/XTu25UV25OI/AAAAAAABSBs/rMUzTcMgr-8yQPtxd5IqJRQy5y0KVROjgCLcBGAs/s640/EQ000751.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The epic 1.0 quests honestly are not hard anymore, the worst part of them is luck with spawn times and drops. You can wait several hours/days for a mob to spawn or an item to drop. It took less than a week to finish each one. We worked on Dire's first, I camped a lot of the long wait mobs when he couldn't. We also used a 105 bard he has to track things and slaughter things in Plane of Fear (which was the old raid content in classic). But most of the stuff is fairly easy at this point in time so it is far more relaxing and fun to do on live servers. I wouldn't dare do them on progression servers, I did that back in the day and it is just too time consuming for me now.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-twpUF-sjnmo/XTu3C5Yr-lI/AAAAAAABSBw/almckRy2F7ohgGD9W5lmhaBE4kHjAzkQQCLcBGAs/s1600/EQ000808.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="848" data-original-width="1600" height="338" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-twpUF-sjnmo/XTu3C5Yr-lI/AAAAAAABSBw/almckRy2F7ohgGD9W5lmhaBE4kHjAzkQQCLcBGAs/s640/EQ000808.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The epics come with cool effects and a title. The magician epic summons a pet, which was a beast back in the day. I'll only use him for a few levels, sadly. The enchanter epic has a click effect with haste, handy to have. The 1.5 and 2.0 also come with different titles and effects, I have already done the 1.5 mage on another character, but never the 1.0, I suppose I'll do it again. Dire has done them both with the magician, he supplied me with the Pegasus feather cloak, which is such a pain to farm, luckily he had gotten it as a drop a ways back. There is even a quest that lets you create an augment of the epics to put into another weapon but keep the look of your old epic, which I love.<br />
<br />
EverQuest is a grindy type game but there are many quests, much progression and lots of things to work on and towards as far as goals. Dire is having a wonderful time playing again, the game really makes him happy to log in and he's still excited about playing after all these years. There is a constant to things and something about coming back and playing that just fits right when you get settled in. There are still people in the major hubs, everywhere. It is a lot different game today, which I think is a good thing. While the memories are wonderful there are still progression servers as well as the PoP era server if you crave the classic feel, which is a good balance and a great thing to still have around.<br />
<br />
I still love the models, the zones, the art, the mechanics. Dire does also, it seems like he jumps back in and really settles in well, it is like second nature to him, lol. While we had a lot of fun with WoW it felt a bit generic the leveling, I had to rush around to keep up after Dire and here I can stop and catch my breath and we can park somewhere and pull or just wade through a dungeon while talking and joking about the old days. EverQuest has kept up with the times pretty well in my opinion. For those of us who still enjoy this type of play at least.<br />
<br />
We've also been playing a warrior and druid duo a little on the side as something else to do. Dire wants to work on the warrior epic next while I am taking a break on doing any for awhile, heh. I wouldn't mind doing the Druid epic but I need a break from doing my own, I find it more exciting to help Dire with his as he gets so excited like a kid on Christmas. Plus, I mostly want to focus on my magician, I love the class.<br />
<br />
It is fun going to old places, seeing things we forgot, going through a zone and remembering all the neat little things about it. Running through the Karanas and seeing an undead cyclops wandering around the trees, a werewolf in the Commonlands on occasion and so on. Can you tell we're having fun?<br />

The past few weeks Dire and I have mostly been playing EverQuest. We started a fresh duo of enchanter and magician, getting them to 55 and we're now working on our epic 1.0. Lots of camping mobs, some items we've been able to buy on the FV server and some items we had banked. The biggest hurdle is long camp times. It has taken us to a lot of cool places, older content, which has been enjoyable to revisit. I love doing the old epic weapon quests, some I've done multiple times.<br />

<br />
I don't know how we got back on the idea of playing again, we always seem to miss it and it is a great game to duo level, especially with mercs. In WoW things die so quickly as a duo, which isn't a bad thing but here we use some strategy and the enchanter comes in handy for multiple pulls.<br />

Everquest is still quite populated, lots of people running around or hanging out in PoK and the guild lobby. It is nice to see so many people playing. There are still regular updates, events and progression servers, which all helps keep the game alive.<br />

We haven't played the WoW duo much lately, over the holiday weekend we binged on Stranger Things and played a lot of EverQuest after grilling and fireworks. I stepped into the new end game content in WoW but still have yet to finish much anything with the questing. Then there is unlocking flying which I don't look forward to, heh. Plenty to do for sure.<br />

On the side I poke around in Rift quite regularly, there isn't much new in the way of things to do, I mostly play an alt and send my minions off and sell stuff. Also Trove is pretty solid for logging in and having fun, there is no shortage on things to do in Trove, even if it is a bit repetitious it is relaxing for the most part. EQ2 has the summer event stuff out on test, which I will be checking out this week, lots of holiday stuff in EQ2 to keep things interesting all through the year.<br />

I picked back up on GW2, playing a fresh alt is always fun. I sometimes forget how enchanting and beautiful GW2 is. A game that is so easy to get lost in while exploring the same places you've already seen. It is a great distraction to hop in and just have fun with.<br />
<br />
Safe adventures, I am off to check an epic camp spawn!<br />

Even after they are not of use you still have the title that comes with each epic you have acquired and an augment to use for the item's appearance to be used on another item.<br /><br /></td></tr>
