After being spammed over 50 times with “You account has been updated” emails from Star Wars the Old Republics website. I was starting to get fed up with these screens on the site.
Many times did I get through the first section of the process to get nailed with the start of the application process all over again. I continued typing that information and was do I see? I see the bar look like it’s going to load something. But alas I am back to the “Do you accepts these terms and services” screen.
Finally I decided it was time to try some of the quick spamming of links, and clicking on everything. Eventually I got to this screen.
OMG!! I said and promptly started updating account info. Changing my country and phone number was easy enough. Man was I wrong. The Java application that they use did not like any of my browsers. Making myself lose the current stream of data going into the site, and having to start over again.
Deciding that I would start by looking at accounts control panel I noticed something a little different about it. It asked for my info again but it was different. I re-downloaded the system spec sniffer they used but this time in Firefox, and once it was all said and done I had this!
Funny thing is, that one of the first posts on my site was a rumor post about SWTOR. Shitty part is the good long winded one is nowhere to be found from when I first started Gamersmind but my post from July 10th 2007 is still kicking around.
When I wrote that post it was in hopes that Bioware would have announced the game by Leipzig that year. Sadly the did not.
Anyways I am all signed up, to probably the most anticipated game I have ever waited for. Hope it can live up to my expectations, I am sure it will as Bioware hasn’t really failed me yet.
Well I drank the punch and it tastes like Aion. I am loving the game so far. If anyone is playing on Yustiel want’s to throw me a tell and level with me I am on the light skinned race named MrLuigi or MrsLuigi depending on the char I am on.
However this post is mainly so I remember a link but also to get the info out to up and coming assassins. If you have not read this post get over to Aionsource.com and read this guide from F8L Fool Assassin FAQ – Compendium of a Sin
Well thanks to Vivox and GameBreakr I happened to get myself a free copy of Fallen Earth and a 3 month game time card. This is going to be awesome! So I haven’t played FE since the Gamespot Alpha so I don’t exactly know what I am going to be doing in game.
First step. Read up on the game and how the mechanics work. Check.
I can do that at Globaltech ATLAS and the FallenEarthDB.
I wanted to write a defensive post for Second Skin. But it started to get too long and scattered. So I just wanted to say this in response to all the hate caused by a light being shined on the negative aspect of MMO gaming and gaming as a whole.
Anyone who has played MMO’s since UO; hell since MUDs know people who have lost jobs, relationships, friends, became addicts of drugs, people who didn’t sleep and/or made the game their #1 priority.
Addiction is an issue with all aspects of life. Sex, Drugs, TV and yes even GAMING can be addicting to people.
My favorite RPG other then the Ultima Series has been remade. So twice in the last 6 months I must say ‘Thank You’ Lucas Arts! Monkey Island and Star Wars the Old Replublic (being made by Bioware).
Well after the BoB and Goons drama that has happened in the last couple days I couldn’t help myself to actually resub to the game. So I am heading into there as soon as the client is done downloading.
I was going to write something about Fable 2, WAR and WoW in the middle of the week but I have been busy with Fable 2. But first with WAR and WoW.
On the WarCraft front, I have been enjoying the Halloween event they are doing. I do not like their achievement set up for this event. One of the achievements require 20 masks, where you have a certain percentage of getting these makes and you can get multiples of the same one. This has made getting this title through the achievement process next to impossible. Hence having all the achievements but the masks done on the first day of the event.
WarHammer: Age of Reckoning. I do really enjoy the game. Well aspects of it really. I played the game for almost a year before the game was released and then in the last few months before it was released I worked on the Prima guide for it. But falling into the hype, that I knew was flawed I decided to pick up the game. I do like levelling purely from PVP but if I wanted that I could just play Guild Wars. WarHammer was put on hiatus when the new content patch for WoW was released. Maybe I will pick it up again soon. But with the impending release of Wrath of the Lich King and the fact that it is now officially big video game release time I don’t know if I will get back to it until the new year.
Fable 2. One of the biggest hyped titles to ever be created. The biggest and best single player RPG ever. As hyped by it’s lead designer. None the less the game is great. I am enjoying this bug riddled adventure game quite a lot. To the point where I just finished the game last night, and only have 7 achievements left. One of those achievements I will have to do another play through or hope that one of my friends are late to the party and invite me to do multi player when they do this specific task. There is also the completionist achievement. This is where you need to collect 50 keys, shoot 50 gargoyles, collect all the expressions for you and your dog, and skill up every skill. This is probably the most time consuming achievement that I have ever started partaking in. I generally don’t try for anything that will involve me playing past the end of the game. Luckily for for me, I have 40 of the keys and 40 of the gargoyle and only need one expression for myself and my dog then that is done and then I will be easily on my way to 1000/1000 for this game.
I am not going to gripe about Fable 2 as there are many other places that are doing that on the internet. I personally like the product that I bought and only hope that I am done with the product come Tuesday when Fallout 3 arrives on shelves. Hopefully there aren’t as many bugs.
