My third venture into EQ2: Part 1
With all the talk last week about Everquest 2, I decided it was time I took fresh look at the game. First some history I played a lot of Everquest. I was never a raider nor did I make it to max level, but I played a lot. I was excited about EQ2, so much […]

Aion Beta Afterthoughts
It has now been a week since I last played Aion, and longer since I last put any thoughts down about it.  Though in that time as I re-read my previous posts and posts of others I felt a few more things rattling around. So I made the decision to let these last few […]
