EQ2: Dear SOE. Can I sit down now? PLEASE?

October 9, 2008 by Tipa

I have a dozen chairs in my houses. Why can’t I sit in any of them? All you let me do is kneel. Kneeling on a chair — or more usually, ABOVE a chair — is creepy. I can sit down in City of Heroes — they have different ways to sit depending on whether … Read more

LittleBigPlanet will make you buy a PS3.

October 9, 2008 by Tipa

What SPORE did for Civilization-type games, LittleBigPlanet is going to do for platformers. Nobody will play the game the same way you do, and the longer you play, the more the game will become a unique reflection of your own creativity and the things YOU find fun. Joe, June, Jane and Jack can play it some stupid boring way, but you can skip all those parts and just bring the FUN ones into the game. Or make your own. Or take someone else’s and change it.
Because LittleBigPlanet isn’t just a game, it’s a thousand games, and you get to choose which ones become part of your own planet.

EQ2: Nostalgia Guild Hall mania!

October 9, 2008 by Tipa

Since I barely did anything to help with the guild hall, compared with Stargrace, Kasul and Ecor, I feel kinda embarrassed to be the first to blog about it, but there ya go. If you’d been following Twitter yesterday, you’d have seen the drama as Nostalgia worked crafting writs so the guild could reach level … Read more

EQ2: Cloth vests mean more fashion choices for casters

October 8, 2008 by Tipa

In either this latest game update, GU49, or the previous one, SOE added new recipes for tailors so that cloth-wearing classes, the ones whose clothing choices have previously been limited pretty much to all-covering burkas, can have a little more flexibility with their look. Last night I stood in front of a loom and looked … Read more

EQ: October 7 update patch notes

October 8, 2008 by Tipa

Reader and guildmate Egat pointed out that not only EverQuest 2 patched yesterday — so did its daddy, EverQuest. Here’s the patch notes, along with some commentary.
Seeds of Destruction Zone Sneak Preview: All active EverQuest subscribers with accounts in good standing will be able to experience all new EverQuest Seeds of Destruction zones two week before commercial release! During this special event players can participate in quest lines and group encounters as they assist Antonius Bayle and preserve the future of Qeynos! Zones include the eerie devastation of the Void, the lush wilderness of Oceangreen and the perilous Temple of Bertoxxulous. Beginning October 7, 2008 seek out the herald of Druzzil Ro in the Plane of Knowledge to be transported to a time rift that leads to the preview content! Preview content will be open to all players until October 13th, 2008.
An absolutely fantastic idea! Give people a sneak peak. And for those people who buy the expansion — they’ll already have downloaded everything and be pretty much ready to go. Good stuff.
