I'm not sure if I've told anyone this, and I know it'll come as a surprise to a lot of you, but leveling SUCKS. It's hard, because what I'd really like to do is sign on by myself for maybe 30 minutes a pop, get some hunting in and feel that it was actually worth …

I did a little research for the hunt tonite. ex·arch (ksärk) n. A bishop in the Eastern Orthodox Church ranking immediately below a patriarch. The ruler of a province in the Byzantine Empire. Erm... So by my reckoning, this Magma Golem was either a bishop, or a Byzantine ruler... Well, there has been a history …
So there's this city, I don't know if you've heard of it, called Avalon City. AC, to the hip kids. It's chock full of these wacky Drakoran guys. Basically, they're walking alligators. Which can be a bit unnerving if you happen to resemble a walking TV Dinner. Which I do. What I don't understand is …
I can't even manage to play ONE character. Pretty sad, really. I don't even know how to use all of my spells as a Theurg. See, Pessum (used to be Bottom, remember?) made it all the way to 36th level before I let someone talk me into starting a Necro. Well, okay, I didn't have …
You may not believe this, but I do try really hard. Sometimes I think that the very laws of physics are designed such that no matter which direction I'm facing when I fire, the rocket will streak in a complete 180-degree turn and slam into my teammate's face. I have to wonder if the comedic …
They might as well just scrap every other type of mission there is, as far as I'm concerned. I don't know why it is; I don't pretend to be a psychologist. Death says, "Yes you do! You do all the time! Just yesterday you were telling Anson his nightmare represented his latent homosexual love for …
Unlucky day, huh? I guess so, as it found me hunting with Bats. He said he was going to power-level me. Unfortunately, whatever wacky tongue he speaks (New Jersien?) doesn't translate well into English, because I think the phrase he was looking for was "get me killed in a most horrific manner." You would think …
Oh, sure - like I can not go play in Camelot NOW. As if once I know how incredibly cool in person everyone in my guild is, I could just be satisfied with saying hi to them occasionally. Like that would work. No, I'm afraid I had to full-on get back to my little Necro …
We had a players' gathering. Well, not 'we' so much as 'they' - Blackspire Guard, the guild I belong to in DAoC. Phil's been telling me about it for months now (he's one of the Big Giant Heads of the guild). But you know me - so many important things to remember (like wearing pants …
Okay, what Insane Asylum did Funcom raid for these "Guides"? (No no, not the player ones, they're fine, very helpful. I'm talking about the NPC guides that give you your first few missions.) Look, I understand that when someone new arrives in your world, there's only so many things that you can have them do. …
