Rerolling

When Aion was released, I wasn't sure if I'd play a Chanter or a Spirit Master. Now that it seems that my old clan is almost compeltely inactive, the choice has been made for me. Since a Chanter is not really a solo class, it's more of a group buffer that does some nice damage and little healing, I came up with a problem. The game is already half a year old, and there are few parties to get in the lower regions of the game. 2 days ago, after half an hour of yelling, I finally got myself into a party to enter the Tirnos Outpost (did I spell the name right?). I know I'll have to stay there for a while, and I don't want to wait that long for a party each day... So I rerolled into a Spirit Master. This class can be played very well solo, though the Tirnos Outpost might be hard, I think I will manage. Get a Priest or Chanter to team up, and we can have fun there... Solo will be tough but not impossible though. With that, Annique already had the Summon Wind Spirit book dropped, so that saves me the trouble of getting it as well (not that the auction house is selling them...). But there still is a problem. I had a small chat with one of the few active old clannies yesterday, and he told me that all 45+ players would go to the Havoc clan. Now, I'm not gonna wait that long. I'd then rather go to an other clan and start a new career there. In the end I might as well team up with my old clannies in Havoc

...some bugs...
08 march 2010 by DemiGoth
No, I'm not referring to the insects...  I'm talking about a bug in a game. In this case it's Fallen Earth. Though the game is under development as t's being played, the beta period has passed for almost half a year by now. So you'd figure that most odd and obvious bugs have been found already. Well, this one not:  I had to laugh when I saw it. I mean, I have a pretty good computer, the game's server should be on a pretty good computer as well, but calculating 64+5 seems to be a bit too hard though

Resubscribed Aion

I resubscribed for Aion today. I can't yet tell if the game will still bring chaos to me, but so far (after playing about 1 hour), I can tell the game is doing well for now, but I know that's not telling anything. I have to say that with the new monitor, the game looks a lot better...  There is some concern however. My old legion, Co1, seems to be pretty inactive in the game. I looked at the legion-list, and most of the members have been inactive for more than 1 month. The active list is very short, and can be counted on 2 hands  With that, I also took a peek in the legion-vault, and that was very empty as well. My guess is that Co1 is shattering since we left Lineage II. I just hope to see some of the members on-line later today and that they can tell me what's going on. There's no news on our forum about quitting Aion, or changing en-mass to an other game...

New monitor
06 march 2010 by DemiGoth

Last week I was wondering if part of my headaches might come from my monitor. After talking it over with my wife yesterday, we decided to get me a new monitor and hope I'm right about that. The old monitor I used to have was an Hansol 720p. It's a good, decent 17"monitor that projects a very nice image on 1600x1200 @ 75Hz. But because I'm a lot behind the computer lately, the radiation the CRT monitor might give could cuse headaches. So I bought a new one. An iiyama ProLite E2208HDS. This one is a full HD monitor with an extremely fast projection (2ms) and lots of other options. After trying my games the first time, I thought the monitor's quality wasn't as good as expected, but playing with the monitor's settings I found out how to optimize it for gaming. Now it rocks! Below are 2 screenshots I made with the new monitor (Fallen Earth & Lord of the Rings online).   There is a problem with Lord of the Rings online though. When I zoom out far, and turn around, the area (mostly in the distance) seems to be a bit choppy. I don't know why, but I think my CPU is now clearly becoming a bottleneck On the bright side. If my headaches will stay away, I could resubscribe to Aion: the Tower of Eternity and hope the chaos I experienced earlier was caused by the old monitor. |

Black Prophecy will become F2P

Today I've found this news on the Black Prophecy forum: Originally Posted by Official gamigo press release Black Prophecy: gamigo to publish the space action MMOG globally! Hamburg, March 4, 2010 – gamigo AG and Reakktor Media GmbH have officially announced that they will be working together on the highly-anticipated space action MMOG Black Prophecy. gamigo owns the global distribution and publishing rights for the game. The Hamburg-based publisher thus lays the foundation for a new focus on becoming a global publisher and producer of free-to-play Massively Multiplayer Online Games. Patrick Streppel, gamigo's CMO, is enthusiastic about the new game: „Reakktor’s Black Prophecywill breathe life back into a genre previously forgotten. The game features graphics of the highest quality, a rich and meaningful story, and strong community features. Since we've begun collaborating with Reakktor, we have expanded greatly upon the concept of the game and thus are able to offer one of the first top-of-the-line free-to-play MMOGs." A lot has happened in the development of Black Prophecyin the past few weeks. The biggest change has been the new direction as a free-to-play online game, previously unheard of for a game of this quality. Among other things, a crafting system was added and the layout of the game world was opened up. In-game dialogue will be recorded by professional voice actors. The one-and-a-half hour long orchestral soundtrack provides a rich and varied score of background music. Kirk Lenke, CEO of Reakktor Media GmbH, said "We are excited to have found such a strong partner in gamigo for the publishing and distribution of our space action MMOG Black Prophecy. gamigo has the necessary skills and abilities to turn our product into a global MMOG blockbuster." Black Prophecy is expected go into closed beta testing in April 2010. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing. I've had bad experiences with gamigo and their release of NeoSteam. But since I want to give Black Prophecy a serious try, I will certainly play it. Of course, I did sign up for the closed beta's already
