Review: Warhammer Preview Weekend For this entry I am going to try something new and take a break from ranting about the usual MMO debacles. Instead, I am going to give my impressions of the Warhammer Preview Weekend from the perspective of an MMO veteran, guild leader, and a gamer coming off the of the AoC disaster. As a guild leader, I and my members were recently burned badly by the Funcom bullshit.  I approach Warhammer Online with heavy scrutiny ...

WAR: One Night of RVR via MSPaint
Daedren copy and pasted most of this article on August 22nd, 2008

We're raising the bar around here. We've noticed that a lot of alleged MMO news sources and Warhammer info sites have been spawning lots of generic, non-informative and highly "graphical" previews and sneak peaks at some of the features of Warhammer Online. That's all good for some, but what about our readers, many who are still using AOL or Compuserve dial-up on a 56k line? Trust me, they are out there. Hell, I even got an email from a reader ...

Warhammer: Progress in the Evolution of PVP?
Jindra wrote this on a napkin on the night of August 20th, 2008

In the midst of all the existing and upcoming Fantasy based MMO's, it's easy to get lost in new features and cutting-edge expectations that might put game X over another title. For an avid PVPer like myself and many others, though, we tend to focus more on the actual game mechanics and PVP features of the upcoming titles. So, it's no surprise when we start to compare these games to other titles that we've enjoyed. Ultima Online (pre Trammel) - the ...

WAR - Gathered Beta/Post NDA infos
Daedren threw rocks at his keyboard and this article came out on August 20th, 2008

It's summer here in the south of France, and everyone is busy trying to spend their 2 months of vacation, either trying to avoid the tourists or having fun being one themselves. Age of Conan did a wonderful job at getting a lot of people outdoors this summer, as the Funcom team works diligently to provide a PVP system: one that was promised in June but might be here by the end of the year. Anyway, that failure of a ...

Conan and Forceful PVE Content
Daedren got dysentery but still wrote this by April 21st, 2008

It's hard to get motivated to play yet another MMO sometimes. While some of the industry's most prolific bloggers are comfortable playing the role of their life not being complete until they play upcoming MMO X, I like to take my usual approach of being skeptic and pessimistic. One reason is that MMO's are a huge timesink when it comes to committing to a game. Like any business model, one most prevalent in the illicit drug business - MMO's want ...

One YAY for Warhammer Delay
Daedren (or his dog) wrote this on April 3rd, 2008
In WAR
The recent announcement of the Warhammer Online delay until fall might be sad news for my buddy over at Keen and Graev (and his expected disappointment in this post) - but the delay is welcome sign for me for our highly anticipated future MMOG. I have three reasons for this, and they are: It will give more to time to play Age of ...

Warhammer Online – The Legolas Factor
Daedren was suffering from a bad hangover while writing this on March 28th, 2008
In WAR
The r1ft crew and our future Warhammer Guild has been trying to decide which faction to play in the upcoming and now delayed Warhammer Online. Here are our thoughts on Order - and something we call "The Legolas Factor". One note - though I'm a fan of the books and the films, I've developed a disturbing hatred to all things Orlando Bloom. I'm not sure if it's because of ...
