Intermission and a new rank

Flying in a Blenheim MKIV-TIt’s intermission in Battleground Europe (well until later today), as my side the Allies lost Campaign 53.

Before I go onto my thoughts on the Campaign I’ll talk about the intermission that Cornered Rat Software setup.

In short they set the map up with a kind of Battle of Britain arrangement. The two sides were to fight over the channel with the allies already having towns in France so a ground war would be underway straight away.

MMO Movies

With the news a few days ago that there was to be a World of Warcraft movie directed by Sam Raimi, it reminded me of the announcement in 2007 that an Everquest movie was also going to be made.

The whole game to film transition has started to become more common in recent years and I remember reading a comment on the web, saying that it was expected movies made about games could exceed revenue from standard films in years to come.

Progress through the Moors

Moors of Ykesha DockMy main Yetian has finally finished the quests in Jarsath wastes, which I worked on to get a hammer that ports you back there. The hammer is handy when doing instances in Jarsath as it saves you some time getting to the zone.

I’ve now begun questing in the Moors of Ykesha which is the overland zone introduced with the TSO expansion. I’ve quested here before with my Inquisitor Mawmet though I didn’t do too many before playing Yetian as my new main.

The first image is of the dock where you land if your method of travelling to the Moors is via the airship from Sinking Sands. I don’t travel that way as I am a Warden and can open a portal to the Moors, or use our guild hall portal NPC to port there.

Getting Mature Again

Age of Conan: Jungle PathwayAdmit it, we all thought the writing was well and truly on the wall for Age of Conan. Its bug-ridden launch and subsequent bad press seemed to ensure that it was headed for the same untimely fate as the Dodo. Even the sales assistant in GAME looked at me dubiously when I brought the box to the counter late last year and hesitated before gingerly asking me why I even wanted to buy such a ‘dead’ game. But with a stubborness matched only by the mighty Conan himself, the AoC Development Team have refused to go down without a fight and I think it’s only fair to give their valiant efforts another chance.

Be afraid… be very afraid

As some of you may know (from other posts), my main is Yetian a Barbarian Warden. My other level 80 character is also a healer, Mawmet a Sarnak Inquisitor. I have a 70 Necro, a 73 Wizard and a few low level alts.

My latest alt and the one I’d planned to spend the most time on (between gathering Achievement points with Yetian), is Gallish my Kerran Troubadour.

The other day however a few guild mates suggested I level my created but pretty much untouched Dwarf Paladin, Bruenark…
