Latest Blog Entry - The waiting continues..
From my blog The Waiting Game [Gajari]

    Here I am, being cool and writing a blog entry so everyone can see my comments about current games and be awesome like so many others. Awesome to the MAX.

    I was really looking forward to Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising as my next MMO to play while waiting for Warhammer: Age of Reckoning to finally be released. I want to play a Rome-based MMO that doesn't suck, but that doesn't look like it's gonna happen anytime soon. Unfortunately with G&H down the drain, there is nothing close to being released that actually looks as if it could be decent enough to keep my interest for several months. So now I am stuck with WoW for even longer... I enjoy having something to log into now and then, even if it gets boring after about ten minutes.

    I beta tested Tabula Rasa recently, and I'll be damned if it wasn't the most boring thing I've played since the latest generic, Asian, Free2Play, isometrically-viewed grindfest that I downloaded because I was so bored waiting for a good game to come out that I would honestly waste my time on this crap and think it could possibly be good enough to retain my interest. But I digress.

    Tabula Rasa is not the worst game out there, but the game play was incredibly boring and there was not much to it. I played a little bit passed the instanced intro area, and I knew this game wasn't for me. I believe it could be for a good amount of people, but it's lacking in the fun department in my opinion. It's not groundbreaking or anything, and I think everyone knows by now not to expect anything like that from this game, or any game for that matter.  In any case, TR will definitely keep many people busy until some good games come out, but for those that think it sucks, well... then you're probably like me and not having luck finding fun in most games out there at the moment.

    I am waiting for probably the same three MMO's as most other people to finally be released, and I can only hope that at least one of them lives up to the hype and becomes the next game I play for years. Here's to 2008 being the year of years for the MMORPG genre. I mean, it can't possibly suck as much as this year, right?

Currently waiting on:

- Warhammer: Age of Reckoning

- The Chronicles of Spellborn

- Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

    • AoC is one of the worst MMO launches I've ever experienced.

    • Sucks you're having problems. I have yet to have any latency issues. My only issues are with my computer, since it sucks.

      I've been reading the AoC forums and haven't heard way too many people complain about latency issues... most of the stuff over there is about the Traders(auction house) and banks and stuff being bugged and not working, and the instancing.

      Unfortunately, my main concern (while waiting for my pre-order box) is still valid.
      It's about world being instanced. Now I read in another post 100 ppl per instance. I couldn't tell if they were referring to the -well known- by now 48v48 sieges instance or in every "zone" in the world.
      I'd hate it if all the zones had 100 ppl max before new instance is created. I mean, imagine being a guild, having gathered 40-50 ppl to attack your enemy guild where they XP in order to revenge for something that happened earlier, only to find out they are in some instance of the zone that is max'ed out and you can't go in.............
      Guild wars would be one....hell...of....a......problem.

       

      groups will get instanced to the same place


      Have you actually read my post?

       

      My grp may zone in all together but if the enemies' instance is full (max'ed out) there is NO way we can enter their instance to attack them. That's my concern, hence I said, guild wars (fights between large grps) may be one hell of a problem, due to the instances and the limited population per instance.


      Well, as they said, you can't just walk up to a guild's base and tear it down. You have to challenge them, and then wait for the specified time, gather up the troops and then do it. I am sure they have a system set up that zones you both into the area together, but with the 100 or whatever cap, I assume that means there also won't be any onlookers, or unexpected little problems that aren't related to either guild.

      But then, if you were talking about just finding some random enemy guild members about and ripping through them, well... wouldn't think you'd need 40-50 people for that. ;)

    • GO NOW! BUY EARLY ACCESS NOW! Funcom Reconsidered!

    • I don't know, went pretty smooth for me. I pre-ordered from EBGames near me on May 9th or so , got the card with the serial for the war mammoth, set up my account and clicked to pay for early access. Got the email on May 12th, finished downloading May 13th. Installed and patched earlier today.

      Glad they're giving you guys another chance to get in early.
