Gwen! You’ve Gotten Bigger…

As I mentioned in an earlier blog entry, I ordered Guild Wars: Eye of the North with some of my birthday money, it arrived yesterday and while I haven’t really progressed passed the first few quests I thought I’d comment on Guild Wars as a whole.
Guild Wars is often called an MMO-lite, you only [...]

Addon Corner: Carbonite Quest

Edit: The version I used is 1.251. For some reason 1.26 wasn’t working for me.
And so, it arrives. Welcome to the return of Addon Corner, this time with video.
In this edition of Addon Corner I cover Carbonite Quest, a world map/quest tracker replacement.
I apologise beforehand about the voice-over, hopefully I’ll get better at it as [...]

Return To Paragon City

Last week saw the release of Issue 12: Midnight Hour, the 12th free expansion for City of Heroes/Villains since it’s launch in 2004.
It’s a bit crazy that I created my account on April 29th 2004 yet I’ve only actually had an active account for just over 6 months in all that time (I know [...]

Daemonstorm Returns

While I wait for my WoW account to be reactivated I’ve decided to resume my City of Heroes account thanks to the fact we had 3 NCSoft 15-day time cards sat doing nothing.
It’s funny how easy it is to drop back into playing City of Heroes, it’s not the most complicated game in the [...]

No Patch 2.5?

Eyonix over on the official WoW Forums commented on a thread asking if there’ll be a patch 2.5, his answer was a straightforward, No. At least they aren’t considering one at the moment.
To me this suggests they are happy with progress on Wrath of the Lich King, which suggests it may be closer than people [...]

EVE: Trinity is here!

EVE Online is a novel and unique space-based MMO that is played on a single server. It has repeatedly had the record for the most concurrent players, often having upwards of 20,000 players online at once.
EVE’s latest expansion has launched today, Trinity completely overhauls the graphics engine and upgrades the models in the game as [...]

Addon Corner: Talented

Now that patch 2.3 is out you might need to freshen up your addons folder. Patch 2.3 makes a couple of addons I used prior to it obsolete by including either some or all of their functionality available in the default interface. Those two addons were CT_MailMod (which I used for mass mailing) and GFW_TrackMenu [...]

The Gods of Zul’Aman

The long-awaited patch 2.3 (titled "The Gods of Zul’Aman") finally went live today and brought with it some pretty major alterations to both game mechanics and the interface as well as adding and changing a whole bunch of content.
I’ve spoken about the content in the patch before, but some of the new interface changes are [...]

Addon Corner: Cartographer

Cartographer is an addon that replaces the default world map. The default map has the main disadvantage of taking over the entire screen, Cartographer allows it to show in a scalable window as well as having the ability to hide the map frame.

Cartographer also comes with a whole bunch of other useful features, like [...]
