5/4/08  ---  Hit 50 in LOTRO

It took a while, but I was taking my time enjoying the sites.  I didn't play for weeks at a time too- leveling in LOTRO is quite easy and one doesn't get a big grind feeling at all.

Check out the LOTRO Journal for more info!

Am back in Middle Earth, taking my time and enjoying the sites! 
 
 
          10/20/07 --- GuildCafe
 
Have created a Morreion page on the gamer social networking site GuildCafe.  Lots of nifty features there.  A great way to stay in touch with gaming friends!
 
 
          9/6/07 --- NDA lifted- am in Tabula Rasa beta.
 
        The short and sweet- nice looking, good performance, cool fast-moving FPS action...the MMO side is somewhat weak; little social interaction; I miss Garriott's special touch that was evident in UO.  Worth a try but I worry about the longevity of the playing experience.
 

 
 
 
        9/1/07 --- In a beta with an NDA...I can say nothing!  :-p

      6/23/07 --- Back to AO fiddling around occasionally because it's free and has some good memories; waiting for other games to release.  Sound familiar?
 
Vanguard...I like it but the poor implementation and release has made it seem too much like Horizons.  LOTRO just didn't hold my interest despite a good job recreating Middle Earth- the rest of the game was too run-of-the-mill, and that maddening game of 'musical groups' where no one grouped for more than one quest...ahh well.

      5/8/07 --- Checking out LOTRO now :p  Didn't expect a lot but it is good.

      2/1/07 --- Vanguard:Saga of Heroes has released- it needs some work but it has a lot of potential.  I'm volunteering over at the Vanguard Vault as Community News Editor- that keeps be busy, along with playing.  My columns can be found here.  I've also collected a Vanguard useful information links post about the game over at Vanguard RPG and am keeping it updated, hope it helps.  Went from idle to busy just like that, you know how it is.  Back to the game!  :-)

6/4/06 --- It's been a while since I've put any serious time into a MMORPG- WoW was my last, but interest waned there after hitting 60 last autumn.  Only one new game of note has released since WoW (holiday season 2004)- DDO, which I haven't played- so it's been a long dry spell.  Dabbled in some old games, but that's been about it.
