Everything LOTRO Is New Again

I’ve not had much to say since returning from PAX, in part because my real-life social activities took a heavy upswing, in part because a health panic over one of our cats had us running for the emergency care clinic on more than one evening (he’s on the mend, many medications later), and lastly because [...]

I Never Cared Much for Engineering in Real Life

That doesn’t stop me from finding a way to be one in my gaming life. I greatly enjoyed my time as an Engineer and Magus in WAR, and first gravitated toward the Ritualist in GW (subsequently getting my beind whipped because I’m lousy at build creation — I got better!), and now I’m fairly certain [...]

[GW] On Roads Less Traveled

The reason my husband has not yet written a review of Dragon Age 2 is that he hasn’t been playing it. Instead, he has been running around in Nightfall with the new alt I rolled for the purpose of duoing our way across Tyria (the world, not the continent). I never realized how difficult it [...]

A Fool And His Money

Well, we made a difficult decision at chez Randomessa recently, and that is to cancel our Rift subscriptions for now. Due to the fact that I was traveling this weekend and have yet to finish resting up from the trip, I did not get to take part in the River of Souls event. We are [...]

Your Concern Is Noted

Every so often a blogger or poster on an MMO forum will take it upon themselves to let those of us anticipating GW2 know that it won’t be all it’s cracked up to be. There is no way it can deliver on its claims, they say, and then proceed to list claims that have never been [...]

28/50

Although Internet Explorer is clipping the page in a weird way so you can’t make out all the numbers, this is my latest progress into updating my Guild Wars Hall of Monuments. I spent last week finishing up the items for my Black Moa Chick incubator (including fighting dozens of skales that wouldn’t drop a [...]

One Of Us, and Level Ennui

Well, I’ve finally done it. After months of gentle cajoling (which didn’t work), and more recently, letting him watch over my shoulder as I trudge through vanquishes, Zaishen bounties, and re-build my character stock in general, Mr. Randomessa has caved in and decided to give Guild wars another try. We had previously made an attempt [...]

In the Black

Well, now, that’s better. Nothing like having your account hacked to get you to be more active in a game! Suddenly I have new goals in Guild Wars, such as “buy a new pair of shoes for my Dervish” (they were inexplicably junked, while the rest of her armor was left intact), or “find out [...]

Chilly in here

The good news is, after I sent a photo of my Guild Wars Prophecies CD key to NCSoft, control of my account was restored to me. The bad news is, well…. I guess I didn’t need that Vabbian armor. On three characters. Or the gold in my storage. The funniest thing is the warning above [...]

Interesting Day

Apparently, the release build of Rift does not like my graphics card, because it causes it to overheat and shuts my laptop down. Eerily enough, this is precisely what caused me to stop playing Warhammer back in the day. I haven’t been to the forums yet tonight to find out if it’s a thing, but [...]
