Massively’s The Daily Grind: What MMO should Daybreak buy next?
Here is another prompt that I took from Massively OP. My first thought was: Rift! Please, please buy Rift! Gamigo is keeping the lights on, but that’s it. And even if I wanted to still play the game, I do not have any trust in gamigo whatsoever. At some point, I tried to stay informed…

Massively’s The Daily Grind: Would you warn your past self against getting attached to an MMO that would die?
Massively OP is a good source for prompts, not just during Blaugust, but especially now, of course! When I read the question “Would you warn your past self against getting attached to an MMO that would die?”, my mind immediately went the other way! If I had known about Wildstar’s short time (released in June…

Favourite game intros
A German streamer has a little series where he watches game intros with the viewers and they rate them together. While watching, I was wondering which game intros I personally love. The point here is that we’re not talking about the games behind the trailers. Just the trailers themselves. Some are really good, others are…

Which MMO does Halloween best?
I really like the autumn and halloween events in MMOs! When I saw ArenaNet announce the date for their Halloween event (it starts today, by the way) for Guild Wars 2 this year, I started to wonder: What other MMOs do them? It is a bit of a silly question because I play these MMOs,…

What’s the point in housing?
In a post musing about the problems with housing in MMOs, Roger from Contains Moderate Peril said that you can ask 100 players and will get 100 answers as to what makes good housing good. And this made me think when is housing good for me? For example, I love the housing in Rift and…

MMOs that came and left since WoW launched
PC Gamer wrote about 25 MMOs that “lived and died” since the launch of WoW (originally published in May, advertised again recently). I assumed I’d see several in there that I at least tried out, but I didn’t know there’d be so many I’ve never even heard of. For a person very much interested in…

MMOs are weird virtual worlds… – Where’s the toilet?
With the exception of very few MMOs, there are simply no toilets or just in general bathrooms in MMOs. Apparently, there is no need for hygiene? From the top of my head, I know that there are a few in World of Warcraft, but they’re mostly related to corresponding quests. I don’t remember the zone…

Now for real: Goodbye, Wildstar
I just logged into Wildstar – for the last time, I guess, as the game is shutting down tomorrow. I wanted to take a few last screenshots of the characters I’ve played. I rode through Thayd, the Exile’s city, and did not see many other players around. Then again, the game is shutting down because…

Goodbye, Wildstar
It did not come as a surprise when I saw that Wildstar is shutting down – and the developer studio, Carbine, as well. Even though at the beginning of the year, the statement had been that Wildstar would be supported for the foreseeable future. It seemed as if the game has been at least in…

Personal Top 9 of 2016
I have seen several people and gaming sites make their “top x games of 2016” and when wondering which games I would put on my list, I thought: “Oh well, why not publish it here?” Maybe you’re already sick of seeing these lists, but stay with me for a bit longer… my list is a…

Quality of Life changes in Wildstar (Blaugust Post 11)
Carbine made a list of the top 10 Quality of Life changes that they will take a look at. I can see two that stand out for me already: Account-wide Toy Box Auction House and Commodities Exchange UI Improvements In Wildstar, there are toys which are reusable little gimmicks, basically. Sparkling spurs, for example. These…

Wildstar E3 Pack: Gnix pet and Hoverboard
No, one can never have enough hoverboards. At least not in Wildstar. :p Humble Bundle is selling the “E3 2016 Digital Ticket” with lots of goodies and a couple of games in between. I actually was not interested in most of those items (though I have always wanted to feel the excitement of being a…

Help! I like too many MMOs…
In the past few weeks, I thought I had finally fallen out of love with Rift. It was to a point where I did not even log in anymore to get my daily artifact (they changed the system now where you get nicer bonuses for logging in, but that’s not why I went back). Then…

Bookahneer’s Geekwatch (April 2016)
Fragmented, the “little brother” of The Repopulation will officially arrive in Steam Early Access soon, on April 26. If you already own The Repopulation, you will get Fragmented for free – or you already got access to it if you registered for pre-steam early access-access. :p Either way, there is still an NDA on the…

Wildstar’s Jumpstart Pack – Is it worth the price?
I only just wrote about Wildstar’s housing and wondered whether you could get the housing teleporter and now they added it to their store for the cost of 720 NCoins. I assume that once the game launches on Steam, it will appear as DLC in their store as well. 800 NCoins cost 10 €, so…
