| ArcheAge: Review in Progress #4 – A Hard Lesson in Safe Trade Posted: 08 Oct 2014 05:36 PM PDT 
As you might recall last week, I obtained my first real seafaring ship: the clipper. One of ArcheAge's biggest selling points, at least in my eyes, is the crafting and trade game. There are two ways to go about it too: the safe way where you don't have to worry about danger (but get less reward), or the dangerous way where you have to go into enemy territory (but the payoff is significantly larger). This past week, I learned the difference between the two the hard way. |

| Elder Scrolls Online: The Justice System Revealed Posted: 07 Oct 2014 05:52 PM PDT 
"By order of the Jarl, stop right there!" Even though I have not logged nearly as many hours as a lot of people, that phrase is one I know all too well. Anytime I've tried to be a sneaky thief, there was always a guard right near me ready to confiscate my stolen good. From what I saw at the Guild Summit, this phrase (or variations of it) will be playing a lot through my speakers as I play The Elder Scrolls Online. |
