SWTOR Forum and why I Visit it so Inoften
The launch date of SWTOR is getting closer and we’re less than a week away from the final “stress test beta” Thanksgiving weekend. I’d actually expected beta access this past weekend too but Bioware elected to remain with their “permanent” … Continue reading
Good bye WoW
Long time readers of the blog will know I’ve been an avid World of Warcraft player since 2005. They will also know I’ve taken short breaks from WoW every year or so. But this last year I’ve taken more breaks … Continue reading
Yes, persistence
Tobold had an interesting question up yesterday. The sort of question I personally enjoy talking about, and something I touched on to one degree or another last month when I asked how much you invest in your characters. Perhaps not … Continue reading

OMG I can’t stop laughing. Leave it to Syncaine when you want a real good belly rumbler! Thanks man! In other news Syncaine goes completely insane. Film at 11:00.
MMO’s are serious business
No, really, they are. And in China there are currently two government bureaucracies that are fighting a very public turf war right now over the fate of WoW there. See this, this, this, this, this, and this about it. Fortunately … Continue reading
Oh
Apparently I’m a ASEK. I got a bit of a laugh out of how high my social trait was.
Psychology of the gamer mind and Syncaine
I’ve spoken recently about my restlessness and my vacillations in which MMOs I play. I still play WoW, but in the Spring I played EVE seriously for about two months, and again stopped by to teach a friend a thing … Continue reading
When will people learn?
Seriously. If there is just one aspect of our lives that you would truly think people would learn from, it would be the MMO market. Considering how much time we all spend within it. Yet, every new MMO that comes … Continue reading
Syncaine has one interpretation
I have another. He’s said it before, though I think the situation is greatly more complicated than I’ve seen him allude to, and that is the whole debate surrounding hardcore vs. casual. Or more apropos, “sand-box” vs. “theme-park”. The gaming … Continue reading
Nevah Evah?
In light of my post from a few days ago I think it necessary to expound of my viewpoint a little more. I think it’s a valid point that someone reading that and nothing else I’ve written about SWTOR might … Continue reading
Too many options
I have been thinking more and more lately that part of the problem with some MMO’s flopping is that we have too many options to choose from. The market is flooded with MMOs, and there are many more currently on … Continue reading
How is it doing?
Tobold asks a good question. One in which I think I would normally be saying “just fine” about this time of year, considering the Summer is over. Yet it’s not. At least not that I can see. My guild is … Continue reading
MMORPG agrees
Garrett Fuller, at MMORPG recently wrote about a topic I had touched on September 1st, saying Why MMO companies start setting their fans’ expectations three or four years before they are ready is baffling. I completely agree. He goes even … Continue reading
China — keeping people oppressed one happy citizen at a time
China is cracking down again. If you simply read the story and have no greater understanding of the oppressive nature of the country, then you might just take this at face value. However, coupled with GAPPS new rules you can … Continue reading
Free to Play — when will this take hold on the major MMO market?
Free to play “MMOs” have been around for quite a while, but Dungeon and Dragon’s is the first of what I would consider to be a major MMO to adopt that model. It was apparently a good business decision for … Continue reading
