| Rise and Shiny: World of Battles Posted: 20 Oct 2013 10:00 AM PDT Filed under: Fantasy, Video, Business Models, Game Mechanics, Opinion, Free-to-Play, Browser, Hands-On, Casual, First Impressions, Rise and Shiny, Livestream, Miscellaneous  I started to see the end of this tunnel of drudgery near the end of my week with the game. It started off by giving me some basic tutorial tips and then pushed me into quest after quest that had to be completed before I was able to move on to the next one. Each step sucked the fun out of the game and made it seem as if I would never be seeing the massive battles and castle bombardments that the game's trailer promised.

"Here's me going into lightspeed with the closest of friends!" As Matt's living it up playing space chess with a Wookiee and getting his arms torn off, we've got many very important submissions to check out after the jump!

| The Daily Grind: What NPC faction amuses you the most? Posted: 20 Oct 2013 06:00 AM PDT Filed under: Culture, Opinion, The Daily Grind, Miscellaneous  You see, Fallen Earth takes place enough after the end of the world so that people don't really have an idea what the world was like beforehand. So the CoGs have collected cell phones and computers and cars without totally understanding what they all do. But boy do they love them and want to see their "gods" rebuilt to their former glory. So what NPC faction amuses you the most and why?  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!

| Wings Over Atreia: Jumping on Aion's limited-time events and pumpkin-carving contest Posted: 19 Oct 2013 02:00 PM PDT Filed under: Fantasy, Aion, Events (In-Game), Opinion, Free-to-Play, Wings Over Atreia  First off, this weekend only level 65s get a little incentive to dive into the Sauro Supply Base and and Ophidan Bridge dungeons.

And for any and all Aion fans out in the real world, NCsoft is holding a pumpkin-carving contest until Halloween with an in-game reward for winners. And I've got all the details right here!

| The Mog Log: Straight on down the line of Final Fantasy XIV's endgame Posted: 19 Oct 2013 12:00 PM PDT Filed under: Fantasy, Endgame, Opinion, Consoles, Final Fantasy XIV, The Mog Log, Dungeons  Before Tuesday, the endgame was pretty simple. You had two main instances to worry about and three primals, one of which was only really relevant for a single quest. If you were decked out from all that, you had another challenge to undertake. The actual makeup hasn't changed since Tuesday, but which instances matter and how they're run has, since you now have two ways of getting those all-important Mythology tomestones. For some of you reading, this is all stuff you don't even need to worry about yet. For others, it's the right here and right now that you deal with on a daily basis. So let's look at what the endgame is, what it was, and why I find myself oddly satisfied with it despite the overall sparse landscape.

There's also an extensive look at the game's climbing and movement system. Steparu says that "it's not exactly Assassin's Creed style, but it does come close to it."
