    Is there an NDA involved in this? Are you allowed to share first impressions?

  • Why is that? To crowded to enjoy the event or too many dunderheads playing the free week?

  • I’ll take that as a no, then. I may’ve missed something, but the big, secret ado was just some robots? I’d thought at least Dr. Destroyer was going to show up, but if he did I missed it. On the upside, though, I introduced my 5-year-old to MMOs last night. He made his first online [...]

  • Apparently something “big” is going down on the last day of the Champs Online anniversary week starting Monday morning at 12:01 a.m. http://forums.champions-online.com/showthread.php?t=115592 My newly-17th level hero Arrowsmith is ready to group with as many old MEGAfriends as he can find to participate in whatever antics they have planned for us.…[Read more]

    Lord of the Rings is going free-to-play? Is that right?

    Did they consult with all the lifetime subscription holders to make sure it was okay?

    I think my only dissappointment with CoH is the combination of Mission Architect and automatic sidekicking that makes grouping very insular. I can’t say what the population of the game is now, but it’s very rare to find somebody actually looking to team with somebody they don’t already know. Since all my online friends are [...]

    We had a little at sea period since Tuesday, but I should be back this weekend in time to take advantage of the free anniversary period. It’s been a while since I’ve played, though, and none of my characters are into the teen levels. I might see if Scarab or The Spider are still interesting [...]

    What, you thought Kilowog was going to be CG? ZING!!

  • Fletch posted on the forum topic Still MEGA? in the group Group logo of PublicPublic: 1 year, 12 months ago

    DOOD!

    I guess that explains why you haven’t invited me up to show me around your movie world yet. It also may explain why you haven’t read my script yet.

    How’s the team going? I’ve been feeling the ol’ MMO urge lately, but you wouldn’t believe the hours I have to put in on the ship these days. Is everybody else here still trouncing VIPER agents and blasting Klingons? Did that Champions Golden Age static team ever get off the ground? What have y’all been [...]

  • I dunno. I like the stop-n-go pace of quest givers. Reading the text and, more importantly, referring back to the text later works well with my casual playstyle. If a game depends on me noticing a quest or offers a risk of failure if I’m not 100% glued to the mission at hand, I’ll fail [...]

    Thanks, Moat. I see Kilo still logs in every few days. I’ll send him a global and see what he can do from his end.

    Junior and I have made a couple duo characters to play City of Heroes with. Fortunately, Mentallax and Unknown Badge are still members of DOOMSDAY and MEGAFORCE, so we were able to invite ourselves into those illustrious teams. Mostly. It turns out the settings for MEGAFORCE, combined with Unknown Badges low rank in the team [...]

    You know I LOVE a static team. I wish there was some way to run them without being on such a rigid schedule, though. I’ve learned that as much as I wish it were otherwise, I can’t go more than three weeks without breaking a commitment. But if you try to play it without a [...]

    No stress on the old server, J. I still have all those pictures. It’s the text of the posts I’d like to recover, though. Whenever is fine, though.

  • Fletch posted on the forum topic Upcoming MMOs in the group Group logo of PublicPublic: 2 years, 2 months ago

    I think MMOs have left me behind. My first MMO, City of Heroes, is still the most fun I’ve ever had online, and each game after that which I’ve tried hasn’t been able to live up to my fond memories. Maybe a co-op actioner is something I’d enjoy. The problem is, I’m not actually a [...]

    It seems I’ve hit this weird anti-slump lately. Instead of sitting at home in the dark staring at a computer screen all night, I’ve been kept pretty busy with actually productive things. In addition to cranking out the Navy news, I’ve made some good progress on my second screenplay, finally broke a 3-mile run, and [...]
