Um, I won 3 times. The 9Dragons beta key I won was on the third round of drawings because that many people didn't confirm their prize. So I've won a LotR beta key, a 9Dragons beta key, and yes, the last computer give awa…
I plotted out my day, including the time of my doctors appointment, so I could be home by noon or one in order to get a jump on playing today. I, too, was in the closed beta and was more excited for this than any recent game release.

It ran for 10 years. There is still atlantice and the stargate MMO.
Apparently there are two made-for-DVD movies in the works, as well as a new series based on the franchise. The Virginworlds podcast this wee…
I'm keeping my eye on this redo, as UO was my first real MMO and I played for a LONG time. I even have an account kind of just sitting there, so reactivating it wouldn't be too hard. Even just to take a look at the current state of the game anyway…
I subbed for about two months and had some initial fun, but it quickly wore me down. I'm a life-long D&Der so I was predisposed to enjoying the game, obviously, but I think in the end what caused me to cancel was it just seemed too ... one trac…
I just thought of a smart way that they can spin this. They announce this higher rate, give it some time, and then come out and say that they've listened to their customers, and their issues, and are offering existing SoE station pass customers a …
The honest truth is I'm sitting here with an open EQ2 account, got a 90 day game card to retry it for the holidays, and an unsubbed Vanguard account (another gift via gift card at EB) waiting to be installed and subbed. I fully intended to use the …
The funny thing is that value-wise it isn't even that good anymore unless you do play more than two of their games regularly. If you play, for example. Vanguard and EQ2 and know that you're going to keep playing both you get a better deal paying fo…
I'd recommend this one for sure. My wife brought it home for me last week and I hammered through it that night. Quick read, and most importantly an interesting read. Good first issue, and makes me look forward to the next one!
Also the MMORPG by…
I can understand what you're saying nthnaoun, but I think you're missing what he meant in terms of casual player -- from his perspective. He isn't talking about an experienced gamer (online one) who is trying out D&DO for the first time, he's t…

Not at the quartering stage he isn't. Killing them is getting his hands dirty with the blood of his enemies, quartering them he is nothing but a marketplace butcher. He's getting his hands dirty with 'menial' (taking …

You don´t need to make an alt to explore crafting and harvesting!!!
Oh I totally get that. In this case, however, I'm trying to RP the Fighter/Mage as a purist. He doesn't dirty his hands, if you will, by digging aro…

Soloing is a fun and laid back way to learn the game. Just do the starting quests and forage away while keeping an eye on the chat. You get 5 character slots so you can mix and match to see how you want your main to evol…

I've recently come back to the game, and soloing seems fairly viable, though obviously you miss out on some of the social element of the game. On Test right now they are testing an experience change where lower-conni…

I mostly solo in Ryzom... got a nice set of Medium-weight gear, and it's serverd me well for 80 levels in melee and magic so far. If you're the type who wants to grind up levels fast, solo isn't that great. For sheer sp…

Guides:
"Also are there any newbie friendly guilds to be had?"
All of them, pretty much. Choice of guild then depends on what faction you want to join and what level of RP you want.
Wow thanks for all the great link…

Soloing is much better than it was at release. At lvl 68 i have soloed 98% of the time. You wont get the great raid gear but there is still some stuff out there for non raiders that is pretty good.
What class do you pl…
Thanks for the comments. I don't think that, in the long run, the no drops thing will bother me much -- especially once I get into the ebb and flow of the game. I was more just stating my prefence at the moment really.
Can anyone point me to a go…
Thanks for the info and replies guys, I appreciate you taking the time.
After this weekend, my mother is in town, I think I'll give the game a try again.
