2016, and the Future

For a blog that manages to post as little as I do, I’ve still managed to accumulate around 4000 views this year. So that’s something.   2016 5 Posts, 1 Draft The vast majority of hits have been right on the homepage. To this I attribute mostly people clicking the homepage link wherever it lies,…

Warhammer Online and The Bitter End

5 years and 3 months, that’s the lifespan of the Warhammer IP as granted by Games Workshop. How the internals of this have worked out in years past is, and probably always will be, a mystery. This really should come as no surprise to anyone, the game has been languishing for a while now. The…

Tin Foil Hat Area

With the imminent headstart launch of Rift hovering only moments away, it would only be appropriate that Massively publicizes a Warhammer forum thread highlighting the “Cancel Subscription” button gone missing in the account management section. It’s a sensationalist piece for sure, touting a new patch on a test server for WoW and Mortal Online offering a…

1.4.1 Test Patch Note Interpretation

I’m going to do something I usually don’t and just do a quick run-down and loose interpretation of these patch notes. You can find the unabridged version here.

Still to this day I can recall quite vivdly the incredibly charismatic guild leader who really served as…

Warhammer is the Detroit of MMOs

-The Importance of the “thing”- was the original title/topic, but things evolved towards the end and I don’t feel like changing shit around again. It’s time for my weekly GD post already. lol  Objectives in PvP that don’t have much to do with crushing in a skull or putting the sharp end of my buisness…

Power Escalation

As the era of WAR post-1.4 comes into full bloom the battlefields are being saturated more and more fully by a class of player that is wearing Sovereign as a baseline for competition. My time in-game has been limited as there’s been a couple dozen other distractions between work, personal life, and non-WAR gaming. However,…

Casual Attraction or Attracting Casuals

Killing for the sake of killing only goes so far in any game. In my humble opinion, killing players for an endless amount of time for the sake of resetting the playground in neither persons favor appears to be a grind on the path to the last few bits of progression oriented gear. What alleviates…
