Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is a game that basically snuck up on me. I mean, I knew it was coming, and I had friends who were raving about it a few months ago. But as someone who never played a Final Fantasy MMO, my gut instinct told me that it would be a... Continue Reading →
Oh boy, it’s been a few months….
I just loaded up the blog and noticed that I haven't written anything since June. Well sue me, it's the summer and it's been a beautifully mild one in San Diego. I've been spending time outdoors with my crazy horse, working on fitness stuff, and unfortunately blogging has taken the back seat. So has gaming,... Continue Reading →
What I’d Love to See From EverQuest Next
Keen over at Keen & Graev wrote up a quick post about his wishlist for EverQuest Next and it got me thinking about my absolute ideal experience for the game. As my top most anticipated game, it's only natural that I have a few ideas for the feelings I hope it brings about within me... Continue Reading →
Adventures in Telara
Last week, Trion's MMO RIFT went free to play. I don't really mind paying subscription fees for high quality games, but in this case I was excited to return because I know this will bring a slew of new players to the game. One thing about Rift is that there are public events (called 'rifts')... Continue Reading →
EQNext Wins Best of Show at E3
It's no secret that I have more than a soft spot for the EverQuest franchise, the game (EQ1) that introduced me to the world of MMOs and the community that made me fall in love with online gaming. I've also always felt that EQ2 is still in the top 3 MMOs every made in terms... Continue Reading →
Gaming all the things
So I spent Saturday doing something really awesome (yay, I'm married now!) and I have had relatives and friends in town for the last week so my gaming time has been random and inconsistent. I haven't logged into WoW in about a week, but I definitely need to do that before that thing happens where... Continue Reading →
Baby Tauren Tears & Healiemonk Mechanics
Oh my goodness you guys, no one warned me about the quest in Krasarang Wilds with Dezco and the baby Tauren! I was all teary and I won't spoil anything here, but jeez I was not expecting this. Though it's like the most common trope in any game or movie ever, but whatever. I'm a... Continue Reading →
Lonely Times in Krasarang Wilds
Treetopsy dinged 88 last night, shortly after her first time stepping into Krasarang Wilds. I love jungly zones, they've always been some of my favorites in WoW (Feralas is the best zone ever, hence why it's in the header of this blog) and Krasarang is no exception. Though I haven't seen much of it, it... Continue Reading →
Done with Valley of the Four Winds
Though most of my time has been spent on my Panda Shadow Priest, I decided to hop over to my 'main' Treetopsy and see how life in Pandaria is treating her. It's kind of difficult to remember where exactly I was in the scheme of things, but thankfully I had logged out in Nesingwary's camp... Continue Reading →
A Dungeon Sunday & My Wizard Hat
I didn't get nearly as much time to play this weekend as I had hoped, but planning this whole wedding thing (mine!) is taking up a lot of my capacity to be organized and focused. I played for a couple hours last night, and my goal was to venture to Hillsbrad and quest there to... Continue Reading →
