Into the night...
Tonight’s sim hoping adventure brought me to InSilico, a role play sim set in the year 2479. Honestly there wasn’t anything outstanding in their search description that brought me here but what made me stick around and take pics was the information available on their wiki page. I can appreciate a well planned out story. Here is an expert from the wiki page.
It is the year 2479. The...

Twilight Zone...
When I was a kid I would stay up late with my grandmother and watch the twilight zone. It was one of my fondest memories of my grandmother. I grew to love the show as much as the time I spent with her. On tonight’s stop of the 30 sims in 30 days tour I went to Immersiva and it instantly reminded me of the show. The feeling of being alone in someones strange nightmare or daydream was...

30 Sims in 30 days...
Yes this is not about WoW and this isn’t even about an MMO. I think I’ve reached an all new level of boredom and gone back to Second Life. You see I’ve been a member of Second Life for…6 years in July and while I have a small parcel of land and friends who frequently log in I have not touched the place since last April or May. Second Life is a complicated place for those...

When last we left…dun dun dun…
[que the soap opera music]
I was squealing over minipets, playing Aion, and raging over epic fail Halloween events. Who knew it would be months without a new post? Let’s skip all the boring little details and fast forward to the good stuff.
1. I switched from a chanter to spiritmaster. Gear itemization in Aion sucks. There just isn’t enough easily attainable gear for chanters....

'Squeal
When I was playing WoW the one thing that I was highly addicted to was mini pets. I had to have them. While I never managed to get them all I did have quite a few. Today when looking over my google reader I came across a story about Blizzard offering mini pets in game for real world cash. Now I know that some people are against micro transactions but personally I see no harm in one such as...

This is not an event!
So two weeks ago it was announced that Aion would be having a Halloween event. I was excited to say the least. When the 25th rolled around I was waiting for something a bit more than what I got, a stack of 5 candies that transformed you into sparkie via an in game survey. It was ok because I figured “no biggie its just the 1st day.” Next day was the same thing. I’m like...

It's a good day to be Elyisan
While it seems on Triniel that we are out numbered out in the abyss its nice to know that for one day we can all come together and win. Tonight the Elyos on my server came together and claimed not 1 but 2 fortresses and on to make it even better one was in the upper abyss. My lag was unreal but it was fun as hell. Hopefully we can keep the team work up and realize that while our names...

Aion's Harvest Revel
I am a sucker for a good in game event. I’ve run around WoW looking for easter eggs, stupid candy hearts and gifts under the tree in Org. I’ve trick or treated in City of Heroes. I’ve ran around with a witches hat in Guild Wars. So I’m very happy that Aion will be having in game holiday events. There aren’t much details on exactly what will happen but here is the...

Soul Society LFM!
My legion is looking for a few more players to fill our ranks. We are a group of friends that have played together in a whole bunch of games from Guild Wars to WoW. Right now our main goal is to just have fun and have a dedicated group of people to quest and run instances with. Our only real requirement is that you be 18 and over as I curse like a sailor on vent. :P So if you are Elyos on the...

All Your Artifacts Belong to Us!!!
So after flying around doing some small scale PvP some friends from my legion decided “hey let’s take an artifact”. We had no idea if we’d make it. I mean there were only 5 of us and our highest was only level 36. Some how we pulled it off. I had to fill in and back up heal. This is the part about playing a chanter I do love the most, bringing utility to a group. I had...

Loregasm
The other night I went into Fire Temple with a few of my legion mates. I was lucky enough to face Vile Judge Kormede at the end, not once but TWICE! Eeeeeeeee!!!! Yes I am a lore geek and I squealed with delight on vent when I saw her. I’ve been holding off posting this only because I wanted to put up some info on her as well. Unfortunately I lost my link to the Aion Lore Wiki I found a...

Why do I still care about WoW
I haven’t logged into WoW since I think June. When my computer crashed I didn’t even reinstall. Yet for some reason I still follow WoW Insider (I don’t care that they changed the site name) faithfully. I still read WoW related blogs. There is something that still draws me to the game so much that I just can’t let go. ‘sigh I started playing WoW back in August 2006....

You've got spam
I’ve done /anon, i’ve set up different chat tabs to get away from the mountain of spam flooding all the chat channels but this…this is what I came home too last night. I guess the methods of addressing chat spam are working so well they need to send mail now. How quaint.

Ding!
My orginal goal was to hit level 25 within the first week but as they say the best laid plans. Not really sure what the rest of the saying is but whatever. Last night after grueling repeatable quests I finally hit level 25. A few of my friends and I had run out of quests around level 24. I’ve found that soloing by far nets you the best xp but let’s face it this is an MMO and soloing...

Chanter Tip: Hot Damn We Can Wear Mail!
I think one of my biggest pet peeves is when I see another chanter running around and I stop to inspect them I notice something very very scary…..they are in cloth! Chanters and clerics for that matter can wear chain mail. Please for the love of Aion put some on. Chanters and Clerics are the only class whose highest available armor designation is chain mail. And while we chanters are a...

Aion: Tower of Que
It’s no secret that since the pre-selection and head start of Aion the que times have been a bit of a problem. It’s even become a bit of a joke with survival guides posted to help ease your time in the que. Generally I am not one to complain much when it comes to my MMOs. I can put up with most anything. I come from, despite my cries otherwise, hard core gaming stock. I’ve put...

The Countdown to Aion begins....
In about 3 hours the servers should be live for Aion’s head start. This is it folks. There will probably be a mad dash to the login screen, the servers are more than likely explode, and as I type this it seems as if the Aion site is down due to high amounts of traffic. Personally I think they took it down to put up all those new goodies they spoke about last week. I can’t wait to...

Finally! My Aion Pre-select is DONE!
Okay, yes I am a crackhead. Yes I woke up at something like 8 this morning so that I could check on the server pre-selection status. And yes the minute I saw my server was unlocked I rushed and created my character. So here she is, my soon to be Elyos chanter Jadzia. 5 bonus points if you can pick up the name reference. ^_-
My goals for head start:
1. Get Jadzia to 20-22. Most of my legion mates...

Aion Pre-selection Day!!! Hey wait a minute....
Well the day started with excitement. I pre-ordered Aion months ago so I knew all about the pre-selection that would happen today. My friends and I planned during open beta which server we would be on. It was a well planned and thought out process. Okay not really we just pinned a tail on a donkey and called it a day. LOL. Kidding. Either way the server was picked and today when I got home I was...

Aion videos cause I'm not paitent...
Well I have about a week until Aion comes out and thankfully I’ll be playing in the head start cause I need my gaming fix. I’ve been searching you tube looking at videos to hold me over until Ayase yells that the servers are up and I can play.

I’ll be playing a Chanter once Aion goes live and this is the video that initially got...
