A friendly competition
I found this post in my drafts. It was originally written back in 2014 and should have been the teaser post for a roleplaying event in our Guild Wars 2 guild. However, some (minor) guild drama arose and the event consequently never happened. I almost forgot I ever wrote it, but when going through my…

Real Neat Blog Award questions from Rakuno
There’s the Real Neat Blog Award going around at the moment and I’ve been tagged by Rakuno – a couple of days ago, actually. So, here are my answers to his questions. My 7 questions chosen for my unfortunate victims people whose answers I am curious about! 1. What is your favorite game? (It can…

Giving up on Gutenberg once again
I tried. I really did. There are some parts about the new Gutenberg editor that I like. For example, the way the categories, tags etc. are presented when working on a blog post. I also like the jetpack tab where you can choose where to share your post, add hashtags and so on. But what…

Winter game sales 2018
You may remember that I participated in IntPiPoMo. Not only did this lead to finally posting Guild Wars 2 galleries again (this time for the new Lion’s Arch and Lake Doric), but I also won a $10 Steam gift coupon. Once again, thank you, Chestnut, for not only organizing and hosting this event, but also…

Gaming nostalgia weekend
Bookahnerk and I will be spending this weekend (re-)visiting good old gaming times. Ultima Online started their version of “free to play” (or free trial, if you prefer) called Endless Journey yesterday. This was his favourite MMO back in the day and to some extent still is. I never played the official game. I only…

New look, new character, new expansion
After a long hiatus, I went back to Guild Wars 2. Of course, I also sat here watching the announcement of the next expansion “Path of Fire” excitedly, but unlike what feels like the huge majority of Guild Wars 2 fans, it did not leave me impressed. A new elite specialization for each profession, 5…

Big Trion Giveaway – Win items for Trove, Rift and ArcheAge
The giveaway is closed. Please give us some time to check and double-check all entries, roll for the winners and send out the keys to said winners! Having had issues with my hand for several weeks, being unable to type, also has some advantages. I could not handle a giveaway and paused, but now that…

I’m back!
I managed to play Rift this morning. Just for half an hour, but it felt so good to use my left hand again. I still don’t have a diagnosis, but all this “rest your wrist, don’t use it!” was garbage since it probably/very likely never even was a tenosynovitis. All results so far say that…

Project: Wildstar Housing
I did it! I managed to get my second character to level 14 which is where you unlock your housing plot. In case you’re now sitting there in front of your monitor pondering the amount of effort it needs to get to 14 – don’t bother. It’s fast. I’m just slow. ;) My Rift housing…

Christmas present: Glider skins!
Before Christmas, I had gotten a nice surprise in the mail. My former colleague (from when I had that horrible-job-from-hell) had not just sent a Christmas card, but also an 800 gem code for me! I immediately went to the GW2 shop in-game and browsed through the items. While I like the basic glider skin,…

Winners of Week 2
First of all, a “status update” on the 4th giveaway: It was originally planned to start it this Thursday. But when I did that, I had not known that I would carry a fridge + freezer combination upstairs into our flat with bookahnerk and that I’d sit here on Tuesday evening licking my wounds (well,…

Summer break for Nerdy Bookahs
The days are getting warmer and warmer and summer is fast approaching. But unfortunately, this is not the reason for this post’s title. For the next month or two, both bookahnerk and I will be very busy in that thing called “real life”. Additionally, we are going to move to a new flat which also…

Asking for player feedback
It comes with my job that I know more about questionnaires than I could have ever dreamed (if I ever did dream about making questionnaires and analysing the data afterwards when I was a kid ^^). So naturally, I also watch how game companies ask for feedback. Recently, Warhammer Online set a rather sad example.…

First posting
First posting here. My boyfriend’s wanted to start blogging for quite some time and so we decided to collaborate and share a blog. We’re both not posting on a daily basis, so it seemed to be a perfect fit. :) He was the one who got me into MMORPGs while I was the one who…
