WAR is going to shake up 2008

2008-01-02 22:19:35 by Keen in Keen and Graev's Gaming Blog
 
...LOTROs PvE is a lost cause and the PvP is yeah Then we have the yet to comes. Pirates of the Burning Sea and Age of Conan are the most notable 2008 releases alongside Warhammer Online. These games will feel a huge burn. The older games are older and their numbers are either stable or not because of what they are and not because of what other...

...LotROs release. It was supposed to be more challenging than most lines of crafting, but was so difficult; it was hardly worth the bother. Its good to see the changes, because in my opinion, the crafts produced by scholars are some of the best for general consumption via TenTonHammer Related Articles at Gaming Today LotRO Draznar's Crafting...

pΘtshΘt: The Weekend Grab Bag

2008-04-14 04:14:16 by Editor in VirginWorlds MMO News
 
...LotROs captain is Some interesting things Ive notice that have crept in to the game in various updates since I was last there. Many of which are old news and implementations of nifty ideas first seen in other games. Im pretty forgiving actually when it comes to what I call convergent evolution (what others probably call ripping game X off...

2008-04-28 10:57:40 by Editor in VirginWorlds MMO News
...LOTROs fishing, like so much in the game, is a quality experience. You actually see a fish in the water approach your bobber and take the bait. Granted, it seems to always been the SAME fish, one that bears almost no relation to what you actually end up catching, but it is a damn good looking fish, there in the water, and it makes the...

pΘtshΘt: LotRO Weekend Fun

2008-05-19 07:20:48 by Editor in VirginWorlds MMO News
 
...LotROs big seamless open world feels vastly superior to Conans world in an instance box. Bartle explorer FTW The avowed goal was to get Wilifred my hobbit mistrel to level 25 so he could take advantage of the Founders horse, or in his case, pony which makes travel much less painful. Still slower than a real mount, but much better than...

...LotROs seamless outdoor worlds are indeed places in my mind. I never got that impression from games like PotBS and certainly didnt from AoC. I felt boxed in like there was no horizon over which to travel. Neither in my minds eye, nor in the game did I ever get that same feeling I get just by looking at those few pictures from Mars

Random Bytes - May 31st

2008-05-31 17:52:53 by Cameron Sorden in Random Battle
 
...LoTROs combat systems I find VGs combat to be much more interesting, fun, and involved than LoTRO s, which made me wonder if its actually something to do with the fact that I got my start on EverQuest (and Vanguard is super-similar) . Maybe Im resistant to innovation and really enjoy the DIKU gameplay. Huh. Something to consider His...

Hardcore Casual: Stop raising the level cap, its not working!

2008-06-05 11:46:41 by Editor in VirginWorlds MMO News
 
...LoTROs book quests, and allow them to pick what skills to pursue and in what order. All players like choices and feeling in control of their characters, and this would be the perfect way to facilitate this The gear reset is a cheap copout. Its an admission that the games itemization is broken, and the quick fix is to return everyone to point...
