[Geek] Dammit!

[azekeil]

Now I know that Guild Wars Collectors Edition is sitting at home waiting for me to play I'm somewhat distracted and don't want to be at work! Damn!

I like the idea of MMORPGs but this is the first one without a monthly subscription (I will get to play it about 2 evenings a month on average). It also happens to be the top game at MMORPG.com...

Well if you're going to be distracted anyway, you may as well upload some user icons... ;)

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

So that was your cunning plan was it?!

[sepheri.livejournal.com]

Rodney has built an entire world for Neverwinter Nights online, people from all over the world play that all the time and there's no monthly subscription for that either.

NWN! I love that game! And some of the addons have been awesome. I will certainly check it out :)

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

I may just have to pop in and say hi at some point *grin*

How long did it take him to make it all?

[sepheri.livejournal.com]

He's been building it for a couple of years now I think and he still adds stuff all the time.
Ask him :P

Oh noes! I'm actually going to have to add someone I haven't yet met. Still, I think his sponsor is reliable enough ;)

[sepheri.livejournal.com]

You don't have to add him, he probably won't add you back without having a clue who you are anyway. He's an international rock star y'know ;)

Some of his posts are public including some about nwn so just swing by and say hi if you're bored sometime.

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Done :)

I know a few rock stars (not international though)..

[serena-lesley.livejournal.com]

Yes you do!! Jeeeeeeze, don't let Scott or Lee hear you say that...

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Are they international..??

Oh well I suppose Lee has toured Canada that I know of..

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Runescape also has no monthly payment; you can play for free.

Although I play EVE :)

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Ah yes I found that while looking around. It seems OK but a bit.. fudgetastic.

But look, look at these screenshots!

[gerald_duck]

"Fudgetastic"?!?

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

It's a bit mean of me to say 'bodged together' but that's sort of what I mean. The look and feel just isn't great :/

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Very very very nice indeed! The buildings and scenery are very sharp; the people (especially the legs of the girl in the last one) are still a bit iffy however...

How about looking at these screenshots :)

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

jikatal used to play Eve on his top-notch computer so I got to see lots of eye-candy first hand. Very nice :)

Swords and Sorcery is my bag though :)

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Ah, years of Evercrack have hardened me to Swords and Sorcery online, hence why I now sail through the stars!

[ev1ldonut.livejournal.com]

What? You mean this thing in the big shiny box sat on my lap right now?

*grin*

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

:P~~~~~

[easternpromise.livejournal.com]

One of my work colleagues has just started playing that and says it's AMAZING. I'm so jealous. I may have to purchase it myself... ;)

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

It is good :) I will be posting about it soon :)

[samurite.livejournal.com]

Oooooooh, another Guild Wars player.
I started it a couple of weeks ago.
'tis very good.
Let me know when you're on...

Sam

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Well I've started playing, if that's what you mean. My current character is called "Azekeil The Slight" :)

[samurite.livejournal.com]

My two characters are "Resplendent Crane" or "Harmonious Jade".
