SWG and EQ2 adventures

After the free week i got awarded in LOTRO, i was expecting to give it a go for a month to check a bit more of Moria. Well i expected...

I end up subscribing Star Wars Galaxies and Everquest 2, neglecting LOTRO for a future opportunity. And i can't say i regret it.
First off, Everquest 2 is getting better and better. Besides the huge amount of content it has to offer (at least to me, cause i haven't seen most of it), a some great news has arrived, which promises some tweaking to melee characters (my favorite type) and a revamp to one of the older zones, Lavastorm.
For more info about this revamp you can go here.
Well, i have yet to get my shadowknight to level 80, and i want to start doing the dungeons that came with The Shadow Odyssey. Also, besides that char, I'm playing with my brother, so there's another character to raise. And not to mention i have others. Yeah, guess I'm an alt-aholic. :P

And Galaxies? Well... First off, I'm a huge Star Wars fan, then it's no big surprise that i play it. But why now? Well first off, i found myself in one of the largest Imperial Guild in Farstar server. Secondly, because from what i seen, the guild master seems to be an excellent person, and he wants to help everyone who are in the guild. Thirdly, i wanted to try the PVP as soon as possible, and for that i would need to get to level 75 (level 90 is the max). So i made an extra effort to get to that level.

And so i did! (Dabofi gets level 75)


I end up doing that day alot of PVP, and being a PVP noob, i end up dying horribly a lot, although my team had some excellent medics, who did their best to keep me alive. I don't have any picture to put here, but i plan on doing it in a near future.
And how does this PVP consists? Well i only tried Restuss zone, but basically it was a city, that was disputed by the two factions (Rebels and Imperials). The story about Restuss, is that the Imperials developed some new technology, some sort of explosives, that would be strong enough to destroy a Star Destroyer, but small enough to fit in a backpack. I have yet to discover the benefits of capturing the city (didn't ask cause i was too concentrated on the PVP). Still it was loads of fun, and different from what I'm used to.
Besides the PVP, i want to get max level to try the different instances, including the one of the rogue Star Destroyer! :P

So that's what I've been up to in the last weeks, and will be for a while now.

Just been browsing on the Vanguard official site, and saw the recent (and nice) video they got up.

Btw, the sound is with problems.

LOTRO Mines of Moria and EQ2 The Shadow Odyssey

Since my exams are finally over (at least for the next 3 month), it's time to get back to business!


As on my previous post, i got a free week of play in LOTRO. So i end up ordering a copy of Moria's expansion, a took the chance to get a look at the newest addition to the game. I've played a little during that week (enough for 2 levels :P), and basically i did little of the new expansion, except for doing the 1st book so i could get access to the all new legendary items.
Talking about those items, it seems to be the finest addition to the game. Basically, your new items (so far just weapon and class item), will share any gained experience from monsters, allowing them to get levels and hence being more powerful as you upgrade inherit bonus. It's something i consider a nice idea, but i would change a thing or two.
Besides that, it's all the same, so if for some reason people like to solo, or do small groups quests/instance, this is the right game. It's very casual game.
I'm still thinking on paying a month to get to level 60, do some groups instances, and be done with it for a while.

Now for EQ2... There's a totally different thing. I'm nearly max level, and i really really want to try out most of the game content there is, since in my opinion, Everquest 2 is the most complete and rewarding game there is. There's always something to be done, and with the latest expansion even more was added. It's a fine game, that would entertain a lot of people for a very long time. Too bad everyone is so grudge at WoW...

Back and on LOTRO!

Been a while since i post something here, mostly because i was with a full schedule of school exams and works. With that done, it's time to go back to my little hobby. And why not with something i haven't tried for good 8 month or so?

Last week, i found in my mailbox an email from Codemasters, saying they were giving a week free for those who haven't been playing lately. So i decided to take advantage of that offer, and took the chance to order Mines of Moria, so i could start trying the new expansion (seems its good, everyone brags on it).

So here i am, all set and ready for a week (at least) of adventuring. Let's see what Moria brings!
