In one of those happy accidents, yesterday I went looking at the EVE Online store to see how much a subscription to EON, the official EVE Online magazine was. Over at the EVE Online site it was still listed, but unlike most other things in the store, there was no way to actually buy it. [...]

One of the joys of Rift, to at least some players, is its soul system. While there are four classic archetypes, warrior, cleric, mage, and rogue, each of those can be outfitted with three souls, chosen from a list of eight, to create a character customized to your needs and wishes. Some rejoiced at this [...]

The economic war continues. We of the CFC versus Raiden and their allies in an effort to deny each other the economic largesse of tech moon profits. It is a war of timers and time zones as each side attempts to disrupt production and destroy infrastructure. And so the call went out again for another [...]

And just because I am on something of an EVE trajectory again, here is a new EVE trailer that CCP just put up. Filed under: entertainment, EVE Online Tagged: CCP, YouTube

CCP has another post up dragging out statistics from EVE Online. Amongst the numbers was the fact that players in the game manufactured 62 billion missiles in 2011, from which comes that 7 million missiles an hour metric. Excluding shuttles and frigates, the mighty Drake battlecruiser was the most produced ship in the game last [...]

The call for a fleet op was out. Timers on some of our reinforced towers would be ticking down soon and the enemy was expected to show up and contest the systems to destroy the towers. There was to be an alpha fleet as the main force and a Drake fleet in support. Having fitted [...]

There is a war going on somewhere. I know this because it has been broadcast via corporation mail. We have been told to knock off all that carebear crap, get out there and stick it to the enemy. So don’t rat, don’t mine, and stay the hell out of empire space because some other alliance [...]

Trion dropped a big patch in Rift earlier this week, and like all such patches, not everything went as planned. So we have the first post-patch hotfix already that addresses a list of issues. Among the fixes were a few directed at the new wedding and marriage system. WEDDINGS * Wedding Rings now get converted [...]

It isn’t like Trion has been secretive about the game in whose market space they are playing. World of Warcraft is clearly their target, the source of much of their player base (a million customers at one point, by their accounting), and the model they feel they have to keep abreast of, if not ahead [...]

Just to save this for future reference, this is the EverQuest free to play subscription chart. As with EverQuest II there are three levels, free, silver, and gold, with restrictions that sound largely the same. There is a limit on which races or classes you can access without paying. There is one interesting twist in [...]

Hidden away in the EverQuest free to play FAQ is a mention of the EverQuest Al’Kabor server. (Question 16, since I cannot link to it directly.) Al’Kabor is the server that supports the Macintosh version of EverQuest, and may be the only true old shool version of the game available. (Today’s theme is SOE and [...]

If all the people who wish there was an MMO like MMOs used to be would stop wringing their hands and go play Vanguard, maybe it would get that expansion. Even without one, it remains very close to the best MMO there’s ever been. Bhagpuss, in a comment at We Fly Spitfires Oh Vanguard, saga [...]

Pokemon.com has been teasing visitors for over a week now with an upcoming download event for Pokemon Black and White players. The Pokemon being dangled before us is the rare Mewtwo. Pokemon who get their own entry in Wikipedia are pretty rare, there being 646 Pokemon available at this point, so Mewtwo is pretty important [...]

But this is EVE Online, so we will have to do it with a huge blob of ships. Yes, there was a lull for a bit in Deklein. I spent the last week or so training up skills so that I might be able to do more than fly and wave with my alpha fleet [...]

Reading that Blizzard won’t be holding BlizzCon this year brought up some mixed feelings. On the one hand, aside from news and insight into Blizzard’s games and process, there isn’t much at BlizzCon for me. At this point the dance contest is the same old dances… and sometimes the same old contestants… every year. And [...]

I was following up some bad idea that involved comparing the number of eBay auctions posted for various MMORPGs… primarily SWTOR and WoW… and the type of items listed when I felt I just had to throw EverQuest into the mix. EverQuest turned up 755 items, though you get anything related to EverQuest II as [...]

As happened last year, the new year seemed to be about the right time to try and round up all our LEGO minifigures and put them back into their original configuration. That first means finding them all… and all their various parts. That gets tougher every year. I tend to leave the minifigures in their [...]

I was somewhat bemused at SOE introducing wings as a flying mount in EverQuest II. I have such a long history of bemusement with SOE on that front. I have literally been complaining since the Desert of Flames expansion… the very first expansion… introduced lying carpets as a mount. I have posts more than five [...]
