Well I drove to Gamestop last night in the attempt to get myself a copy of WOW Lich King but after seeing the line for the midnight gathering I was like F that. I mean damn the line was looooong so I tried 3 different 7-11s an yes they sell games now and they were also sold out the punks. I guess after work I will try again.
Well last night I went and did it. I said I would not but I did any damn way. I walked my butt right into Gamestop and put a copy of Lich King on hold. Blah I already play too damn many MMOs (not really that is just what my wife says). I don't know, I just have not really been so jazzed up about the release but after reading so many little tidbit leaked in the past week I guess I had to jump on the bandwagon also. I am curious about the new talents for Warlock and Shaman so that will be worth it.
I will keep you all updated on my time in game on 11-13-08 as release day is almost here. How many of you said you would not be back to WOW but you know in the back of your mind you will pick it up also?
I guess it was bound to happen. WiIth Apple trying really hard to make it's system more friendly to gaming they had to get developers to bring their products over. I guess the peeps at NCsoft was listening and just announced that COH will be heading to the Mac platform very soon.
Today, October 30th, 2008, NCsoft announced a partnership with TransGaming, Inc. to bring the award-winning City of Heroes franchise to the Apple® Macintosh® computer platform for the company's western territories. The Mac version will be available for public beta testing with the release of the game's thirteenth free expansion, Issue 13: Power and Responsibility this fall. The official launch of the Macintosh version is planned to follow shortly thereafter via a special digital-only edition.
For more details, please click here to read the full press release. Here's an excerpt:
"Players will soon be able to join the battle of good versus evil in the most popular comic book MMO on both the PC and Mac platforms...and in the same game world," commented Brian Clayton, executive producer of City of Heroes for NCsoft West. "Given Mac's fame as a platform for creative people and City of Heroes' unprecedented character customization options, I think City of Heroes is a perfect fit for the Mac gaming community."
The DDO Game Servers will be brought down on Wednesday, October 29th
from 6:00 AM - 1:00 PM Eastern (-4 GMT) to launch the latest free
content update, Module 8:
Prisoners of Prophecy. Risia will remain up
and available during the downtime. Thanks for your patience, and we'll
see you back in the game soon!
Well I have been meaning to try out Tabula Rasa and I guess with some of the bad ass features coming I think it's time I do.
"We never saw it coming, but our leaders did." Handpicked and plucked from the midst of a devastating attack, the
Logos-receptive Humans were transported off Earth in a final retreat.
Of the 6.7 billion men, women, and children of Humanity, only a handful
were saved to wage the war against the Bane on distant planets. There
was no fighting the overwhelming forces invading Earth - there was only
enough time to cut and run and mourn our dead from a far off galaxy.
Earth was lost, they told us. Annihilated by the Bane. They were wrong. Earth is alive, though she is far from well. The Bane continue to
destroy and ravage the planet, bombarding it, infesting it, and
populating it with new and vicious troops suited to the terran
environment. The men and women we left behind, those not fortunate
enough to die in the initial attack, have organized their own fight
against the invaders. They are strapped for resources, scraping to get
by. For the survivors, "Hell on Earth" has become day-to-day reality. How do we go home? Who are these survivors? Why are the Bane unable
to wipe out Earth and Humanity as they've done to so many other
galactic civilizations? To learn the answers, you'll need to join us as
Tabula Rasa returns home to Earth in Deployment 15. In addition to
taking the fight back to our home turf in one of the most iconic cities
on Earth, the first Tabula Rasa Earth map will include: * Epic instanced control point gameplay for level 48 to 50 players We'll release additional information about Earth as we get closer to
D15, but in the meantime, events are gearing up on Foreas and Arieki
that will lead towards the return home. Future maps will continue this
storyline, providing new battlefronts in the fight for Earth's defense.
As always, we welcome your feedback on this and other changes planned
for Tabula Rasa! Susan "Leilo" Kath
Sarah Morrison, AFS

Epic creatures are designed to be a greater challenge, requiring the
efforts of coordinated squads with excellent weapons and gear to be
defeated.

* New armor sets available only on Earth.

After player Star wars Galaxies all be it later than most I thought the game was ok. I was not around when all the changes happened so I did not have that stake in the game. I only quit recently as there was really no one in the town to play with. Now fast forward to rumors of Bioware doing a Star wars MMO based on Knights of the Old Republic and my booty hairs started to stand up. Damn if they can do this right they will have a gold mind. After watching this video I am hella excited. Please let me have this game NOW :D

Star Wars Galaxies will receive a small update tomorrow, Sept. 30,
to apply some fixes to the game. All U.S. and European galaxies will be
taken down at 4 a.m. PDT for server maintenance and a live update. All
galaxies will be made available after final testing is complete, which
will take an unspecified amount of time.
As far as gameplay is concerned, players should experience less false positives with server location rubber banding once the update is live. Also, Galactic Civil Wars bases should now disappear properly when destroyed.
For the full update notes, check out the official post or keep reading after the jump.

Server populations on Age of Conan are apparently not at the levels Funcom anticipated. Aiming to ensure "more healthy" populations, the company will be merging servers in both Europe and North America.
Game director Craig Morrison stated that Funcom is "actively working on an approach" to the server merge.
"Still, there are many complexities involved in this, and we want to ensure that everything happens as fair and streamlined as possible," says Morrison.
"That work has now started, and we are naturally making sure that guilds and players can get to new servers in the best possible way. We will come back with more info on this, but I hope that this will serve as a positive injection to the social scene in the game."
Morrison also says that players can expect to see DirectX 10 functionality, which remained on the internal test servers for Age of Conan's launch, entering the full test server environment with the next gameplay update.
"How long it will take to transition to live will depend on the testing of course, but it’s starting to shape up nicely," he says.
