Paeroka’s Ponderings: Guilds and their leaders
The members of Dragon Season (a guild on the EU servers in Guild Wars 2) may remember a time where I was actively playing the game and organized our guild parties. Here’s a fun fact: Not too long ago, when rambling about guilds (in WoW Classic), I said to bookahnerk: Well, I’m the one talking…

Finally settling into ESO
For months, I’ve been saying how much I love ESO and that I just need to get into the game… and then I did only log on to do crafting dailies. However, two things have changed recently. I joined a German guild with a trader, but they’re mostly a casual social guild that also tries…

NBI 2016: Blogging can be life-changing
Yes, I admit, the headline is probably a bit too dramatic. ;) So before you get too excited: Blogging will not make you rich and it is very unlikely that you will become famous. However, looking back at the past five years with this blog, a few things happened that did influence our lives in…

Guild Wars 2 Community Event – Blaugust Day 9
As you may already know, on Thursday, we went to gamescom and then went to the Wildstar Community Event in the evening. I already told you about the Wildstar event. My write-up of our visit to gamescom is taking a bit more time to get finished, though. So I figured I could show you the pictures…

Wildstar Community Event – Blaugust Day 8
We had originally planned to go to the Trion party on Thursday evening and I was looking forward to it, especially as they announced the new Primalist calling there. However, then we had received invitations for the Wildstar and Blade & Soul Event. Since we did not know anybody who went to the Trion party, but…

Liebster Award x2
About a month ago, I was already nominated for The Mystical Mesmer and almost forgot about it. However, I now received another nomination from Rakuno of Shards of Imagination. That’s 22 questions in total. Of course, I feel honored that they thought of me in their blog posts and I’m happy to participate now. :)…

Bloggy XMAS 12: Connecting with friends through games
This post is part of “Bloggy Xmas” – an event where bloggers who signed up were assigned one day to provide a blog post about “Gaming and Community” and write about it. At first, I didn’t know what I would want to write about, but then it hit me: I actually already had a draft…

Pink Day in LA in 6 days!
Pink Day in LA will take place on October 20. In honour of the event, we have “pinkified” our logo – that’s the least we can do, after all. ;) This event was first started in 2007 and with the release of Guild Wars 2, we will see it in Guild Wars 1 and Guild…

Bookahneer’s Geekwatch: Joining Talk Tyria and GuildMag
Welcome to today’s Bookahneer’s Geekwatch! The place about miscellaneous interesting news related to Guild Wars 2 – and on occasion, other games. As some of you may know, I am occasionally writing for Talk Tyria and GuildMag as well. This Geekwatch isn’t about Guild Wars 2 per se, but about those two fan sites that…

Bookahneer’s Geekwatch: 2 weeks after launch
Welcome to today’s Bookahneer’s Geekwatch! The place about miscellaneous interesting news related to Guild Wars 2 – and on occasion, other games. This is the first time we’re officially using the new Bookahneer image. Isn’t he cute? And just as the Guild Wars 1 version, he comes with bad “photoshopping” skills brought to you by……

Bookahneer’s Geekwatch (May 25, 2012)
Welcome to today’s Bookahneer’s Geekwatch! The place about miscellaneous interesting news related to gaming (will most likely include at least one piece about Guild Wars 2 ^^). We’ve heard sad news yesterday: 38 studios layed off all their employees yesterday (including all from Big Huge Games). What I found fascinating and encouraging was how fast…

Being at the EUFanDay – or: Musings about ArenaNet’s game philosophy
As you, my dear readers, may have noticed already, I was invited to the EUFanday in Brighton. Yeah, okay, there’s no way you can have missed that. ;) When we got this invitation, we were… flattered. The next question, however, was: Who will go? Bookahnerk or me? Once that was settled (it was an ugly…

LotRO: Ready to move
My little hobbit’s packed her bags and is now waiting for June 1 to move from Codemasters to Turbine. The European community is also wide awake and asking a ton of questions. One very important one was answered today: The European RP servers will still be supported after the move! That’s great news! I never…
