Who wants to meet up in AC?

So I’ve got a room reserved at the Trop in AC on Friday May 30th. Any semi-local bloggers that are going to be around that weekend or want to meet up? I’m bringing a buddy of mine along that never has been to a casino before and I’m not looking to necessarily play much poker [...] Related posts:

Eve Online

Well as you can see from the bookmarks that have been appearing, I am now playing a game called Eve Online. It’s been out for almost 5 years now but unlike most games that are around that long it is still increasing its’ subscriber base. The other neat thing is that all 20-30k people that are logged in at a single time are on the same server cluster. That means that if you know anybody else that plays the game you can meet up with them. No more getting separated from your friends just because you started out on the wrong server.

This game has a pretty hard learning curve, mostly because it is completely open-ended in its’ gameplay. Want to do commerce? Be a pirate hunter? Invent things? You can do any and all of this if you so choose. There is also a very harsh death penalty in that you buy your own spaceships. If it gets blown up then it’s gone and all that hard earned money is down the tubes.

I’m not going to bore you to tears as there is a TON of information out there about this game. Go check out their website yourself and let me know if you end up trying it out. There’s a free 14 day trial so why not?

Monday night I have enlisted the aid of my guildmates from Allied Tribal Forces to assist me in doing something that is long overdue. That something is getting my elite mount, the [item]Dreadsteed of Xoroth[/item]. One nice thing about warlocks is that we get discounts on our mounts. In fact, the first one at level [...] Related posts:

Grinded away all day today and got the remaining 60% of the xp needed to level Zsuzsu, my gnome warlock, to level 64 finally. I have the timing down again that is needed to grind away at mobs without hardly any rest so it’s basically grabbing all the quests in a certain area of a [...] Related posts:

MMORPGs

Well I’m currently downloading the Mac client for Eve Online, which was released today, so that I can take it for a 14 day trial spin. I just signed up for a cheap introductory month for Pirates of the Caribbean Online. I still have my World of Warcraft account. They are all MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) that have a Mac client available. And that’s why I’m trying them.

I don’t want to have to boot into windows anymore, although I can if I need to. I want to play games in the genre that I enjoy and play them with a native client. I’ve played Lineage II, Planetside, Dark Age of Camelot, and City of Heroes. I am looking forward towards the new Warhammer game. However, I have not seen a single thing indicating that there is a Mac client in development. Very disappointing and I may even take the drastic step of just sticking with one of the games that I can play natively. I guess we shall see.
