KOTOR Online official

Ok, as of today KOTOR Online is officially announced, even has it’s own spiffy web address. I am really STOKED about this game, and since it’s being brought out by BioWare, I have high expectations! It’s hard not to with classics like KOTOR, Jade Empire and Mass Effect. I mean, how can you NOT have faith in this game company.

Granted, this isn’t the first Star Wars MMO to come out. There was also Star Wars Galaxies, but come on…have you guys played this game? It sucks! It made me wish I had a light sabre so i could stab my eyes out. SOE did what I thought was the impossible, and completely DESTROYED the Star Wars mythos. It took the KOTOR series to restore my faith in the franchise.

I have been wanting to try out Warhammer Online, but instead…I think im going to hold off for the KOTOR online game, and stick with the games i have now.

Age of Conan

Ok, so im sure some of you have heard of the MMORPG Age of Conan (Known here on as AoC). If you haven’t then you really should look into it. The game looks incredible, and certainly worth checking out. My only complaint is, unlike on other MMORPGs AoC does not offer a free trial from their website.

This sort of bugs me. Why? Because I desperately want to play this, but I have heard the controls are clumbsy and things that the game could be improved on in various areas. Some people however dont know what they are talking about, however I don’t want to purchase this game and end up finding out…yea, ok…everyones right…it kind of sucks.

Also, the fact that they dont have a trial on their website available like most games….kinda sends up a red flag that the game sorta sucks….and that they kinda sorta know it sucks too.

If however the game isn’t as bad as I have heard…I will happily buy and subscribe to the game. As it is though, I am happy with Lord of the Rings Online, and at least I know that doesnt suck….so, until I can see if AoC sucks, im just going to play it safe and stick to LotRO………..But…….

PLEASE put out a freakin AoC trial!

downloadable content

You know what kinda bugs me? This is going to sound stupid, I promise…but it bugs me! I hate that people abbreviate “Downloadable Content” as DLC…It’s not called “Down Loadable Content”…But, hey…If people want to do things incorrectly fine…BUT! It really ticks me off when I spell it “DC” as it technically SHOULD be…I get ridiculed by people telling me how that’s wrong and acting like *I* am the idiot! Because I am abbreviating things properly…WTF??

KOTOR: Online?

Well, fans of the Knights of the Old Republic gaming franchise should be dancing a little jig..possibly. Apparently there’s a rumor traveling around the rumor mill that the next KOTOR game will actually be an MMORPG. Not sure if this will replace the talked about KOTOR III title, or will be produced alongside(Possibly using KOTOR III to set the stage for the events of KOTOR Online? One can only speculate.)

I am a huge KOTOR fan, and am hoping the rumors are true. I would love nothing more than to play KOTOR online. As for what the premise would be? Could be anything really, but most of the internet populace is hoping for a game set during the Mandalorian wars, and since that’s what the peoples are wanting..i’m thinking there is a fairly large chance the people will get it.

I’ll wrap this up with my speculation on what to expect. I believe KOTOR Online will be KOTOR 3 and will be the final one in the franchise(All good star wars sagas have three chapters, and what better finale than an online version? That’s been something people have been wanting since the first one was released). It will most likely be set during the Mandalorian wars. You will begin the game by waking up in a space ship without any memory of who you are.

No matter what, I am sure it will be good since it’s being released by BioWare.

Boredom sinks in…

Well, as I mentioned earlier I have been playing a lot of Guild Wars lately..As a matter of fact I finished up the campaign in prophecies, and unlocked “Hardmode”. Im not much of a “Hard Mode” player though, so probably wont be trying that out. Which means I havent a clue what I am going to be doing. I could play the expansion packs, but in all honesty those are a LITTLE bit of a letdown…I think. Though my opinion could be based on the fact that I havent really given it a chance…so..I think I will do that.

Im baaaaaaack!

first, I want to state that I am very sorry for the lack of updates these last few days. I could tell you how a large glowing portal opened up in my living room, and how a cyborg stepped out with a laser pointer for an eye and approached me and told me that the future was in danger. That temporal rifts were appearing across the world, and that these rift threatened to not only destroy the future, but rip apart the space-time continum and destroy the fabric of time as well, therefor causing time to cease existing or ever to have existed to begin with. All life that is, ever will be or ever has been would be wiped from existance.

Then I could finish up by saying how this cyborg needed me to travel back with him, because my spectral aura is the only frequency that can saftly travel through the rifts without imploding, and they need me to travel those rifts and stop them from spreading and save all of existance…and then I went, fought a giant alien bug who claimed to be the creator of all, times and all universes and all dimensions…and that he was bored of his creation and was tearing it down..kinda like kids do with sand castles…But i defeated him and saved life as we know it, and got awarded the title of “Rift walker”.

I could tell you all that…but that would be a lie. Fact of the matter is, I have been playing Guild Wars.

Still got Guildwars….

Remember a few days ago I mentioned how my main computer was having issues and that I was having to use an emergency computer? Also remember how I said that emergency computer couldn’t run any of my MMORPGs?

Well, I am STILL on the spare computer, and it still runs slow. However! A friend of mine helped me clear off some of the useless and pointless pre-installed Acer crap on the system, and that managed to speed it up a wee little bit! Not by leaps and bounds mind you, but sped up a touch. It was sped up enough so that I can at the VERY least still Play Guild Wars. Which is fine, because at the moment GW is my primary MMORPG addiction, followed by Lord of the Rings Online(Which also does play, just not worth playing..it’s jerky and the graphic textures are forced so low its not even nice looking)…

So, until my main comp gets bandaged up, I am stuck only being able to play Guildwars, but its an excellent game, and better than nothing right? Right!
