Text of the page (random words):
n the gladden server would play every friday at 5 pm est by the western entrance to bree the devotion the mini reds displayed to these regular concerts is not surprising to me as i ve seen regular crowds around toons playing music throughout lotro this is part of why lotro is still an active mmo and gets full marks for immersion i still wonder how those hobbits all got in sync the wrath of the fanboys award rift when rift went f2p trion said they were going to do it right and not be slaves to a cash store of course by the time i got back to checking rift out the cash store was present and heavily hyped which pissed off the long time players to no end that and several other moves by trion to keep the game afloat has generated even more dislike by the fanbase than the random this game sux 1 comments you still see from swtor ex players who were salty about the lack of wow style endgame on launch the i need a shower afterward award tera online while a strong argument could be made for age of conan and it s nudity tera gets the nod for this award because of the elin every time i login to tera just play out in the field for a while because the gameplay is very good lack of coherent plot or writing notwithstanding after about 10 15 minutes an elin toon wanders by and reminds me why i find the elin so disturbing the taking physics a bit too far award archeage the more i watch the female toon animations in archeage the more i m convinced that the developer staff kind of missed the point with breast physics the amount of effort put into breast physics in archeage and other korean mmos shows that the dev staff likely spent a lot of time conducting research because breasts especially larger sizes do move like how they designed it in game but here s the kicker that movement is for only some types of breasts and they have to be bare or skintight covered breasts not breasts covered in more normal fitting clothes or armor giving breasts covered by armor or even hidden by normal clothing the same movement characteristics of bare breasts simply makes the breast physics in archeage look well weird at times and far more obvious the will they ever learn award wildstar the entire modus operandi behind wildstar was that they were going to take the vanilla wow experience and crank it up to eleven the thing is the vanilla wow experience was fine enough as it was without trying to outdo it wildstar was in effect doubling down on the belief that the harder and more grindy the goal the better and that didn t exactly go over quite so well for carbine wildstar is still alive and kicking still putting out new content at least but i m not totally convinced that carbine learned their lesson they may look at blizzard s decision to create vanilla wow servers as a challenge rather than the correction they so desperately needed to their design philosophy some of their ideas were fine but others were a bit too much yeah whatever gave me the idea that they overdo it in wildstar from geek com the pride goeth before a fall award world of warcraft cataclysm cataclysm was a complete reboot of the original two continents of azeroth the old world sure there were five new zones but the revamp of the old world brought back a ton of old subs and pushed wow s subscriber base to new heights looking back nobody saw that those few months of returning subs were the high point of wow s subscriber base blizzard s decision to revamp azeroth was deemed to be worth it despite the major story holes that the revamp created but my belief is that the same major story holes basically shut the door on new players picking up the game and starting from scratch and now blizzard no longer releases subscription numbers in their quarterly statements ostensibly because they have better means of tracking the profitability of wow but likely because subs have fallen to the point where wow has fallen back to the pack in terms of subscriber base the no clue it was coming award employees of gazillion entertainment the publisher of the now extinct marvel heroes much has been made of gazillion s financial problems and the hiding of the same but the extent that management went through to hide these problems from the development staff to the blindsiding of the staff by the company s inability to pay for paid time off when the company fired them all still makes my blood boil i ve been in that situation when the company looks like it might not meet payroll and it sucks a lot and my ire goes to management not leveling with the staff we re all adults here treat us like one the you must learn patience grasshopper award the stereotypical go guy we all know this person that was so easily skewered by crendor because we ve all encountered the go guy this is the warrior that wants to speed pull all of the trash in the first area of halls of lightning and yells at the healer for not keeping him upright or the jedi guardian who just has to jump off of the platform in cademimu because it was taking too long for the elevator to arrive or the agent yelling spacebar in chat because the group wasn t moving fast enough ironically enough wow created instance speed runs just for the go guy to test their mettle but that hasn t exactly rid normal instances of the purveyor of timeliness ah narration by worgen freeman and lastly the golden trinket award to all of the people who would stop and help a new player or a player needing an assist or a player struggling along all of the people who reach out and assist others play well and encourage players to find a home in their chosen mmo world all of the people who treat each other well both in chat and in the world and make the mmo genre a better place i ve seen it happen where people picked up hunters and then dropped them from bgs based on an update in a wow downtime i know that the swtor raiders pvpers will argue that theorycrafting is alive and well in their part of the mmo world the last i checked they re still there playing away even the succubi and incubi are nude which actually gives them an unnerving appearance unlike say wow succubi you can look at an aoc version and not get it out of your head that this succubus is something totally unnatural please please please tell me that someone gets the spinal tap reference add to that the rise of the moba which peeled away players from the wow subscriber base and you ve got problems well pvp notwithstanding being mean to the other faction is kind of the point there eta fixed a grammatical issue and a sentence structure in the gazillion area eta fixed another grammatical error which leads me to believe i shouldn t be writing at midnight posted by redbeard at 1 05 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels age of conan archeage lotro marvel heroes mmos musings pugs rift swtor tera wildstar wow friday august 4 2017 fun with mmos tera i first became aware of tera when reports surfaced about the so called panty run you know the youtube videos that showed a female toon half bent over running in such a way that you could see her panties quite easily it was designed to titillate and meant specifically for the male gaze to a degree i d not seen in an mmo since age of conan all of age of conan for the longest time i just simply wrote off tera because of that video and how much it disturbed me this was an mmo i d be embarrassed to have the mini reds or my wife find me playing and if i did play tera it would be really late at night or early in the morning like age of conan so why review tera at all like i said in the previous post if i m going to be asked my opinion i need it to be an honest one not just a knee jerk reaction to what i ve seen via youtube and the longer tera has hung around the mmo field the longer my curiosity has grown how has this mmo survived out there is it all strictly a young male fantasy or something about asian mmos that i simply don t get you d think that if the male fantasy angle were the thing then age of conan wouldn t be on life support and i ll freely admit that i don t watch anime at least anime newer than the original speed racer and star blazers so there s likely a cultural component i m missing so i decided that the only way to understand tera was to actually get into the game so i downloaded tera made sure it was late at night and clicked play the original tera box cover artwork because of the en masse logo this was for north america consumption from wikipedia read more posted by redbeard at 4 00 pm 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels fun with mmos reviews tera thursday july 6 2017 how do i get roped into these things the oldest mini red came to me not too long ago and mentioned that one of her friends had suggested that they play an mmo together oh i m not so uptight that i want to control what she s playing but i was curious why she asked yeah i haven t heard the game before i think it s tera my brain let out a little scream have you heard of it um yeah i have it s well known for how the female toons run you know like this and yes i did show her this video which looks like something piers anthony would have dreamed up oh yeah outside of that and that the female toon garb tends to be really skimpy i don t know much else about it well she began mulling things over it is f2p maybe i should at least check it out to see what i think i scratched my beard as a sinking feeling settled into my stomach i guess i should check the game out too as well due diligence and all that which is how i arrived at this point in time i ve spent the better part of the past several days on steam downloading 3 newer mmos and one old one that i tried back in beta rift and steeling myself for what i might find i m not prudish by any means but i do know that games that are asian or have a heavy asian influence aion for example have a completely different viewpoint on how female toons should look dress and act the subservient sex toy vibe that some female toons exude in these games gets on my nerves particularly when the toon should be a type a badass compared to my normal and previous standbys of lotro swtor sto and wow these games are likely to have gear that should never see a battlefield yeah like this this meme can be found all over the net and don t think for a second that because i enjoy the hyborian age of the conan stories that i also think that conan or his female contemporaries in age of conan get off the hook but the one thing that aoc does do right is that it is internally consistent both male and female toons show a ton of skin and their toon reactions are anything but subservient in manner and attitude i know that i m likely to find in these new mmos a distinct difference in attitude and presentation between male and female toons and that is going to annoy me at least there s some internal consistency in cimmeria from demotivational posters found all over the net so why go ahead and examine them when i know i won t like them because knowing is not the same as really understanding if i m going to explain my likes and dislikes of a game i d better have firsthand knowledge of that game and if i m going to give my kids advice on a game i d better not be making judgement calls solely on secondhand data reviewers will have a bias just as i will but i ll be able to understand that bias and explain myself far better after having examined the games first so i ll be off trying some of these games that i ve read about only on syl s and rohan s blogs as well as other places yes it s a male friend no i m not quite so worried about them hitting it off in game or something as they already hang out if they were a year closer in age i d think they were an item but that two year age difference is a bit of a brake on any potential relationship there s a big difference between say 27 and 29 versus 17 and 19 still given my extensive observations of teenage boys fatherhood you know he s quite mature his xanth series started out somewhat tame but then they eventually veered into weirdness and overall creepiness with a heavy dose of panties in descriptions posted by redbeard at 11 24 am 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels family mmos tera older
