Yup, I have decided to finally make use of this blogspace. As you can see it’s been quite awhile since I wrote here. Also, I decided to combine all gaming-related blogs into one – for easier management. Life In Qeynos was started as an EQ2 record, and it is sad for me to see faithful followers of that blog come to a crashing halt – because I have quit playing EQ2.
Rather than starting a new blog for every new MMO/Game I play I may as well compile them all into one – here!
Well, to pick up where we left off, I stopped playing EQ2. Finances and Real-Lift(tm) got in the way. I have checked out Guild Wars and found it extremely fun and easy to play (heck, everything’s easy after coming from EQ2!). The one thing I really dislike about MMORPGs is that the designers always seem to “encourage grouping” and make certain quests undoable when solo. This was one of my beefs with EQ2 (and any MMO in general). I was pleasantly surprised to find that in Guild Wars, at least they give you AI henchmen. While not as bright as human-controlled characters, they do a decent job of most quests, as long as you know how to control them. Otherwise they just run headlog into the mobs and die a horrible death in 3 secs flat.
I am fortunate in a sense that an old friend from City of Heroes decided to join me. She too was in EQ2 but was on a different server, due to a period of time where we lost contact. We didn’t join up on the same server in EQ2, but here in Guild Wars, there are no “servers”, hence we can meet and join up.
