Out of work? Home sick? Wanna talk about Spellborn?

Breaking news! Acclaim CEO Howard Marks says Chronicles of Spellborn closed beta starts NEXT WEEK!

I’d love to talk about Spellborn. I’ve been a big fan of it for a couple years now, wrote about it at every opportunity at Massively, even had the collector’s box set shipped from Germany and leveled up chars on the EU servers because I REALLY LOVE THIS GAME. Cue creepy “I’m your number one fan” music…
So when I heard Acclaim was going to have a chat about the NA version of Spellborn, part of me went YAY! Then I found out it was going to be at noon (PST). On a weekday. When I, and probably most likely players, would be at work. So. Bah. Epic fail.
I just want to play!
Acclaim’s announcement after the break. Complaints about the time can be brought to Acclaim’s “Acclaim Sucks?” room. (Oh, yes. Acclaim Community Manager ‘Historian’ saith: “Was inspired by user ret2121 who created 2 rooms ‘acclaim sucks’ and ‘Acclaim Sucks!!’. Seemed like a good way to get feedback.”)

Wizard 101 is built around a card game, and that card game is built around your deck. Deck construction can be tricky.

It’s been a long time since I peeked beneath Dina’s appearance armor to see what all that cool stuff looks like. I’d gotten the TSO Tier 1 armor crafting book from a crafting mission Kasul and I duoed, and so was making TSO armor like crazy to fill up some gaping holes in my outfit. … Read more

Gatheryn — is this the Steampunk game for the rest of us?

February 25, 2009 by Tipa

Yesterday I wrote about “Neo Steam”, which brings a decidedly Eastern, hardcore PvP, flair to that eternal conflict between technology and magic and the mystical substance that powers them both. Intriguing? Yes, maybe, but — it isn’t Steampunk! Not to me, anyway. Just having a mystical substance called “Neo Steam” is not enough to make … Read more

Wizard 101: Works in progress

February 24, 2009 by Tipa

So I thought I would have some dynamic pictures of PvPing but — turns out I didn’t actually TAKE any, so that’s out. Instead, I guess I’ll just have to show off my two wizard’s spring outfits. Because, if I dress them in Spring colors, Spring will come sooner, right? The idea, when dyeing outfits, … Read more
