They finally got me back. All the new things, the ease of getting a character caught up, and the fact that I miss playing MMOs all pushed me back into World of Warcraft. Reactivation was simple enough, and once the client had enough downloaded to jump into the game, I found myself staring at a very familiar character selection screen, albeit with some slightly unfamiliar names displayed. At some p...[Read More]
Azeroth Arrival – Part Two – World of Warcraft at PAX East
Six years have passed since I last set foot on the virtual soil of Azeroth. Three additional expansions have further broadened the world, and piled more lore on the never-ending battle between The Alliance and The Horde.

Return to Azeroth, Part I – Good Times in World of Warcraft
We’d been building up to this moment for months. We’d been so close the previous week, only to come up short in the final battle, but this time everything was going our way. Everyone was still online, Tati was on top of her healing game, Banu and our off-tank had everything on lockdown, and we the DPS team were cranking out damage like a crack UFC beatdown team. The year was 2011, and my guild was...[Read More]

Legends of Aria – Open World MMORPG Preview
You know a game developer has an interesting sense of humor when they lead off their meeting invitation emails with a meme. That’s a bold move (Cotton), and they’d better be able to deliver.

Closers (PC) Review
Imagine, if you will, this boardroom pitch for Closers: “We’re going to make an sci-fi brawler. Old-school style camera, but modern anime art style. Lots of combos, and each character will have his or her own personality and individual storyline.” “Sounds great, but we’re an MMO company.
