EQ2 Decorating – Yimenee’s Magic Manor (5 room)
Yimenee’s home, done in May 2009, was my first experience with the Qeynos style 5 room house. I’d been dying to try my hand out at decorating one of these homes and Yim obliged. With some plat in hand and my own carpenter skills (I leveled these up so much creating items for his home) […]
Continue readingEQ2 update, still going strong
Yep, despite my occasional belief that the only reason I still play EQ2 is to decorate houses, I’m still playing and enjoying myself. I may only log in and poke around doing quests here and there on my alts, but even that is enjoyable. I can play at any time really and have something to […]

Obviously I never wrote the article, but as MMOs came and went, I never stopped thinking about player […]

One could be forgiven for assuming that the real gaming in MMORPGs goes on inside the virtual worlds created by developers and played by millions of people every day. While it’s true that the endless hours spent logged in to games such as World of Warcraft or Everquest II count as playing the game, it […]

How the use of mods and add-ons affect online gaming The use of mods and add-ons is very prevalent in online gaming today, whether or not the game designers permit it. These programs range from the simple (Teamspeak overlay add-on that allows you to see in game who is speaking) and usable by anyone to […]
Continue readingThe Thrill of the Kill
Virtual kill that is, as in online gaming PvP. I worked from home yesterday because of a dentist appointment in the morning. My work commute is too damn long for me to be able to schedule appointments and get downtown in the same day. So I came home instead. And since it was also a […]
