Sight seeing

Well I have not had much of a chance to play SotNW but the time I have has been very enjoyable. I have got my group of adventures up to lv 12, so I get to see the new armor styles (which are really nice). My group consists of a Fighter, Scout (you have to love having a personal healer), and a Musketeer. It seems to be a well balanced group and I have been running the beginner quests out of Reboldeaux. I am still working out the basics of playing with three toons at once, it adds a bit of a challenge and makes the game interesting. The combat that I have done so far seems faster and more frantic then previous MMO's.

I have finally seen some AFK grinders in Ferruccio Junction, the fact they have allowed this type of leveling I things is good for the game. It gives people the ability to keep up with their friends even is they don't have as much playing time. That is one thing that most MMO's fail to offer.

Well, it to bad the server is currently down (I have a little time to kill :P), but I hope to see you all online soon. Also if anyone has some blogs about SotNW that they could point me two that would be appreciated (just leave them in a comment). I come from Warhammer Online which has hundreds of bloggers and am just wondering about this games community.

Sword of the New World,

Well I have spent some time away from PC gaming, instead taking some time to play my PS3 (a great system I must say). I enjoyed playing Little Big Planet, Fallout 3, and Uncharted, but I could not break away from the call of MMO's.

This time I decided to see what some of the free to play MMO's were like. This first of which is "Sword of the New World". The first thing I noticed about this game was the amazing art work and the beautiful background music.

The game play is different from other MMO's because you crate your own team of 3 characters made up 5 different classes. You can also get NPC cards to unlock those unique characters to join your party. I think the battle system will take a little getting use to but so far its been a very entertaining game.

If you are interested in saying hello or offering advice my family name is "CDN-Dragoon" and I play on the Orpesia Server. I am looking forward to playing this game further, for all of you who are still playing Warhammer Online I hope you enjoy the new expansion!

Seeing Stars

Well I have found out how amazing Little Big Planet is! My time recently has been spent running around in a pirate outfit and carring a wooden sword :) If anyone is playing LBP check out my first created level Seeing Stars, its a simple one but it was fun (and a bit frustrating) to make it. I hope to build more complex ones in the future, but man there are some amazing ones out there.

If anyone else has levels they want to promote send me a comment and I will publish them on this blog.

Life changing events.....

Well, I have hit the time in my life where MMO's are going to have to be put on the back burner. I have not logged in to WAR in about 2 weeks and have no desire to do so. There are many things going in to this decision. (edited) Secondly is my play style. I really enjoy playing Warhammer but I have a tendency to be shy dealing with other players. This has caused me not to get to attached to the social aspect of the game. I have been involved in two great guilds but have not participated enough to get any level of community.

For everyone who is still playing I hope all the new content is amazing and I might log on again to see what its like. I still plan on continuing this blog but its focus will change to general video gaming among other things.

All the best!

WCPI, Dark Crag Dispatch

Before I head out of town for the weekend I though I should give another recommendation to a great blog. The Dark Crag Dispatch is a blog that looks at many different aspects of the Warhammer Online. They have some interesting points and opinions about what is currently going on. Take a look and I hope you enjoy!

A Dwarf is born.....

No, its not a slayer. I have decided that my first alt will be a Dwarven Engineer named Innis. As much as I want to try a Slayer I wanted to try an engineer more. I was partly influenced by a former guild mate of mine, Lorient. When our old guild fell apart, he joined a guild of just Dwarf Engineers called short fuses and was having a great time. So I rolled a engineer and got the offer to join the guild, its been a blast so far. The fuses area a great bunch of ale drinking Dwarfs that just seem to enjoying the game.

So if you are a Dwarf engineer on Volkmar and want to join a guild of free drinking, grenade throwing, greenskin killing Dwarfs... well just look us up!

Also if you are interested in playing Warhammer Online I have yet to offer up my trial passes. If you are interested send me an email at CDNDragoon@gmail.com, I will give mine out to the first three requests I get.

WCPI, Werit

I just started reading Werits blog and like what he has to say. He recently wrote some good points about server balance on his home server. Wondering if Mythic will ever get around to offering buffs to the constantly defending side like they proposed to do. I also liked reading his post on the RvR Finale on PTS he took part of and the bits and pieces of EvE blogging he offers up as well.
The fact that he is a Dwarf Engineer (my new alt) is just a little bonus. So check out his blog and say hello, you just might like what you find.
