| Rise and Shiny: Revisiting EverQuest at level 65 Posted: 09 Jun 2013 10:00 AM PDT Filed under: Fantasy, Screenshots, Video, EverQuest, Culture, Game Mechanics, Opinion, Free-to-Play, Hands-On, Casual, Rise and Shiny, Livestream, Sandbox  I started playing around 2000 or 2001. I didn't catch on to it as much as my wife and soon was back in Ultima Online and later titles like City of Heroes. I have always kept up with EverQuest while still feeling a bit left behind because I didn't stay with it from the beginning. I am so jealous of a player who has actively played any game for 15 years. The character he or she has built has a wonderful story to tell! Well, I decided this week was time to finally try to get back into EverQuest. What I found wasn't really surprising because I had kept up with the game's developments and played here and there, but the community and the gameplay definitely caught me off guard.

| One Shots: March beneath the raptor's wings Posted: 09 Jun 2013 08:00 AM PDT Filed under: Screenshots, Star Trek Online, Vanguard, Guild Wars 2, One Shots, Humor, DC Universe Online, Miscellaneous  "This picture is of my new Romulan character inside a Romulan space station that was having a few ... issues," Draxos wrote in. "When the lights suddenly go out in a space station, you become thankful for the brightness outside the window because then at least there is some chance of seeing what may now be lurking within the darkness. Although you could say that my Reman crew members are the true ones to be fearful of in the dark." Couldn't you use the Borg's head as a flashlight? That's what I would do. Join us for more shadowy flights into dangerous worlds of characters who do not exist in today's One Shots! Continue reading One Shots: March beneath the raptor's wings

| The Daily Grind: Do you subscribe for loyalty bonuses? Posted: 09 Jun 2013 06:00 AM PDT Filed under: Business Models, Culture, Opinion, Free-to-Play, The Daily Grind, Miscellaneous, Subscription  As a frugal eagle, I don't like to subscribe if I can help it. Yet once in a while I do, either to support the game or (far more likely) to nab some of those sweet loyalty bonuses that subscribers get. Whether it's extra currency, boosts, cosmetic items, or that fancy forum title that makes me the envy of absolutely no one, subscription has its perks. So do you subscribe to an MMO to enjoy those extra frills? Are you eager to see what the next round of veteran rewards will give to you?  Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!

| Tattered Notebook: There's too much to do in EverQuest II! Posted: 08 Jun 2013 04:00 PM PDT Filed under: Economy, Game Mechanics, Lore, Opinion, Roleplaying, The Tattered Notebook, Dungeons, Crafting, Housing, Player-Generated Content  You see, although the land of Cobalt Scar opened up just over a month ago, I've been pulled away and unable to complete everything I want to in that zone. Why? Because in that same time, there have been multiple city festivals, a round of Moonlight Enchantments (with new quests and brand-new housing items that were a must have), a double XP weekend that just begged for some serious crafting advancement, a commissioned housing project to complete, personal houses to decorate, old quests to finally finish up... and that was just to start! As the guilt for not finishing the entirety of GU66 settled in, friends who weren't as high-level as I wanted to play together in areas they had access to, which coincidentally did not include the latest update. So off I ran through older zones and dungeons with lower-leveled friends. Needless to say, my in-game adventures of late have stretched all over the map of Norrath. Sounds busy, no? It was during all this that I had to finally lay my delusions of finishing everything I have planned before EverQuest Next to rest; there's just too much to do in EQII!

| The Mog Log: Summing up Final Fantasy XIV beta phase 1 and 2 Posted: 08 Jun 2013 02:00 PM PDT Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, Game Mechanics, Lore, Opinion, Consoles, Final Fantasy XIV, The Mog Log, Subscription  I've hit all of the major points of the beta already, both the points of divergence and the points of similarity from my big tour back in February. But there are little dribs and drabs here and there that I haven't yet touched upon, things that I feel are relevant to the beta test of Final Fantasy XIV even if they don't fit into an individual column. So this is the conclusion. This time next week, we'll be awash in E3 news, so there's no finer time to wrap up my beta musings than now.
