Paying for hours instead of months in MMOs?

Tiran Kenja @ Tuesday, February 10th, 2009 ()

I don’t really write a lot on this site. But I figured responding to this blog post would be a good topic to throw in here.
While going though the daily RSS feeds I came across a post about alternative payment for MMO subscriptions. The poster “C.K.” has noticed a problem I have myself been dealing [...]

My first week in LotRO.

Tiran Kenja @ Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007 ()

As mentioned a while back I grabbed a load of cash and spend it on Lord of the Rings Online – Collectors Edition. While this was done at a moment of weakness it turned out I had plenty of opportunity to change my decision. As I found out a slight error in my shipping address [...]

Dang. Where are all the beta invitations?

Tiran Kenja @ Friday, May 4th, 2007 ()

As life continues new games go into beta. And once again I am ignored. Recently several games I want to try has announced activities of the beta variety. Namely Age of Conan, Tabula Rasa and The Chronicles of Spellborn. Okay so TCOS didn’t actually go into beta just now. Instead it announced the beta would [...]

The adventures continue…

Tiran Kenja @ Sunday, April 15th, 2007 ()

I’m still here and I’m still playing. About a week ago my Vanguard subscription expired and I was wondering what to do. PlanetSide had been in the back of my skull jumping up and down for some attention so I figured I’d play that for a while. Maybe it’s just because Xebek from AoJ moved [...]

Vanguard didn’t get ahead

Tiran Kenja @ Tuesday, March 27th, 2007 ()

This post got a bit delayed. I was writing a longer post that further detailed how poor the gameplay of Vanguard is but then a couple of things happened:

I found out it didn’t seem I was going to like the game anytime soon since I don’t enjoy any of the content
Age of Judgement (the guild [...]

Saga of Grinding

Tiran Kenja @ Wednesday, February 7th, 2007 ()

So Vanguard was released. Woopie! Yeah that’s sarcasm right there alright if anyone missed it.
Yeah as I mentioned before so I got into Vanguard in the “open beta” though my Fileplanet subscription and it was quickly apparent that the game wasn’t really done. I am not sure what it is with this genre of games… [...]

Busy start of the year in the MMO scene

Tiran Kenja @ Friday, January 19th, 2007 ()

Hehe. well it seem the gaming goods have conspired and made the start of 2007 really busy to make up for a frankly disappointing 2006 (at least when it comes to MMOs). As I noted before there are several games I am looking forward to playing this year. And just last week in my inbox [...]

A new year of gaming is coming. Out with the old… Waiting for the new.

Tiran Kenja @ Thursday, January 4th, 2007 ()

It’s officially 2007 now and with the resetting of our calendar postfixed with a new number is traditionally an event that provokes people to promise themselves – and others – that now they can change their ways and everything will be better this year. I never really practiced this myself. But it seems fate – [...]

EverQuest’ing on and on and on.

Tiran Kenja @ Monday, November 6th, 2006 ()

Well. Once again it’s been ages since I updated this page. Not that it really matters, since I presume I am writing this just for me. But I do like to try to put down some words about my experiences so I can look back at them as consider what I’ve been doing. And perhaps [...]

EverQuest isn’t really that. Not on PvP servers anyway.

Tiran Kenja @ Wednesday, August 9th, 2006 ()

One thing I never really have thought I’d do has come to pass: I got a copy of EverQuest 2. Okay okay. I DO own a copy of EverQuest 1 for the Mac too. But I got that as a “free” gift when I renewed my .mac subscription a couple of years ago… I played [...]
