Fallout 3 is on the way, I have the Fable Pub games (acquired by my brother as a little bithday present) which now means I -will- be playing Fable 2, and I recently picked up Civ Revolution, too.

Despite all these things, I get dragged back into Moon Guard on a highly regular basis.

Wrath is coming! You can come back, too ^_-

WAR has been great, too. Pretty good launch (aside from the shenanigans with CE, SE, etc release servers changing – that ended up scattering our alliance around a bunch of servers despite weeks of planning). The pvp in WAR is well-integrated to the game as a whole, and has been a lot of fun.

I do agree the crafting is a little lame, but in terms of community – maybe it’s your server, or your guild. Our community is coming along really well.

Hello FALLOUT 3?! I’ve barely touched Spore yet, Guitar Hero: World Tour (Drums kick ass, already tried em), I can’t think of much else, but I am already swamped, and Warhammer (surprise surprise) is fun, as long as you play Order.

Destruction sucks for some reason, I think it’s because everyone wants to be evil, and so they have to wait for us to click into RvR. I never have to wait for RvR as an Order player. Word to the wise, but try both and decide for yourself.

Now I’m thinking of Steaming The Witcher Enhanced, I never played it, and with an 81 Meta rating, I’m suprised I didn’t give this one a more through run.

Plus, some fully nude models.

I don’t know if this works with the EE, but I think it should.

To consider:

-Meaningless and disjointed “crafting” system serving no apparent purpose of its own (why can’t they for once create a fantasy MMO with a meaningful economy?). This is to me the biggest indicator that the game has far less depth than it seems to have.

-Complete absence of high personal/guild stakes (such as player-owned keeps) in comparison to impersonal “faction” stakes, which are rather meaningless and especially so on a server where one side is overpopulated.

-The PvP system is ingenious, but will probably get old very quickly if the impact it has on the world is akin to little more than a battle simulator.
-No human tank for Order. Not a personal gripe of mine, since I decided to play a ranged-attack character this time around, but I see it mentioned regularly.

-No community whatsoever around the game, exacerbated by the lack of official forums. All you get instead is a few surrogate forums held by fans of the game, where hyperbole is fine as long as it’s in support of WAR.

-Not much sense of a community in the game either. I’m a North American, but since my only available time is at 4 AM, I chose to play on an Oceanic server, considering it’s prime time in Australia/New Zealand. However, I see very little chat in game; ironically, that automatic group detection has succeeded in killing off those “lfg” posts, the last trace of a reminder that you weren’t playing a single-player game. I’m still in Tier 1, but I see very few players who have joined guilds.

-Major discrepancies in server populations. A few at High/Full, and others at Low on both sides. (There are maybe 3 out of 6 Oceanic servers with populations above Low, and two of these are almost full in peak hours.) It’s a game I wouldn’t want to start playing 6 months from now, since Tier 1 is probably going to be empty on most servers; the currently full ones will be filled with full-grown players, and the others won’t probably have enough people in any but the last tier. It’s one thing to kill your young, as in Shadowbane, but here it’s really about gradually sectioning them off so they can play king of the lowest-tier sandbox.

Have to say, though, aside from a still frustrating early quest (read: twitchfest syndrome), The Witcher is definitely one of my favorite RPG’s in a long time.

Witcher … LOVED it when it came out! Still love it, and the EE did bring some nice new touches and fixes. However, they actually re-looped the VO and it is dismal compared to the original. I don’t know if the actors didn’t have a chance to get back into character or what, but the updated English voiceovers are … meh.

Was that after you looked at my blog? HEHE…

Ok on a serious note, where is the broken toy image? You know that catch image got value too right?
