Cheating with the AI Assistant?
WordPress sent a newsletter announcing the AI assistant in the Block Editor. Of course, I wanted to check it out because I’m curious about what AI can do. I told it to write about MMORPGs or indie games in the style of this blog. Of course, I know that this isn’t a good command, but…

Paeroka’s Ponderings: Living in an MMO
Answering one of my own prompts here: If you could – or had to – live in an MMO world for the rest of your life, which one would you choose? Obviously, I can only really choose from the MMOs that I have played in the past and know the world of. My first MMO…

Happy 10th birthday, Rift…?
Rift launched on March 1, 2011 which means that it’s currently “celebrating” its 10th anniversary! Or it should be, given it’s such a nice round number! Trion Worlds was acquired by gamigo in October 2018. So gamigo could be proud to have an MMO that is 10 years old now and still has a community…

My MMOs in 2020
No new MMO has made it on my list this year. I did give New World a try, but ultimately ended up not liking it. It’s okay and I am still curious to see whether Amazon can release a solid MMO and continue supporting it, but it’s just not for me. In general, I played…

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,…

Mixing my MMO
I am currently playing very different MMOs, because they each give me something I want from this genre while lacking in other areas. Elder Scrolls Online has this seemingly huge world to explore, but the housing is subpar. Guild Wars 2 doesn’t even have housing. But both games have a beautiful world! So, I thought,…

Paeroka’s Ponderings: Goodbye, Rift?
As some of you know, I love Trion Worlds and the games they have created – well, most of them, at least. I have not always agreed with their decisions, but I don’t expect to do so. They are in it to earn money, after all (employees want that to afford a roof above their…

Paeroka’s Ponderings: Defiance 2050
I had originally planned to write about my impressions of the Defiance 2050 beta, but for several reasons, I have not been playing it enough to warrant a whole and substantial blog post about it. During the first beta weekend it was mainly due to pain in my hand. Defiance, thankfully, is a game that…

MMO gaming-goals this autumn
I really miss the time where I played only one MMORPG (World of Warcraft) and Guild Wars 1 for its story whenever I found time. I am currently trying to dip my toes into too many games at once while actually not having time for any of them. So I thought about what I want…

Paeroka’s Ponderings: Gear and level-advantages in PvP
Some time ago, I read a topic in the German section of the Black Desert Online forum where a player suggested that the game’s PvP may be better if there were no level-advantages as a higher level gives better stats, for example. He was laughed at by others and called “carebear” for wanting that. Unfortunately,…

Paeroka’s Ponderings: Bored-out instead of Burnout?
Excuse the bad pun up there, but something got me thinking… In a conversation about GW2’s content drought, somebody wrote (I don’t have a link, so I’ll paraphrase here out of my memory): MMOs aren’t meant to be played exclusively. They are made to play with breaks in between. But when I started my first…

Paeroka’s Ponderings: Original vs. expansion “maps”
When an MMO originally launches, I often find myself exploring the world and simply enjoying the stories that can be found. When you play a hobbit in Lord of the Rings Online, you start off with things like delivering a cake to a neighbour. There is this peaceful village that has no idea about the…

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…
