Virtual to Reality

neXus gaming guild

I have been in my guild neXus since our formation over 4 years ago, I am officially the Deputy Leader of neXus although we make all decisions as a group where possible. We founded the guild as we wanted a casual small guild where members knew each other and everyone would help each other out when they could. All of us  founding members had been in guilds who’s ideals were the same as ours and had some good, some not so good experiences.

People told us it wouldn’t work and that we’d never get anywhere with such a small guild…

Spellborn goes Free to Play

Just thought I’d let those of you that haven’t tried Chronicles of Spellborn know about an email I received today. I tried Spellborn for a couple of weeks on a trial and our very own Sres has written a post about it here on our MMO-Symposium. The email says that Spellborn is now a free to play game which will receive no more updates or patches, by the sounds of the email that means the game in it’s current form. A new Free to play (probably pay for extra’s) version is in development. A change so quickly in the game payment method doesn’t look good.

Anyway, here’s the email I received.

Everquest 3?

Whilst reading a new site I discovered about MMORPG’s, a small news article caught my attention. The article in question talks about a 10th Anniversary Everquest book which in the final chapter suggests there is another instalment of Everquest in very early development. The author of the article comes to this conclusion from a piece of text in the book which does seem to point to another Everquest based game, though it gives no details as to whether the game would be an Everquest 3 or a console spin off.

I for one would obviously give EQ3 a try should there ever be such a game, as I’m a long time fan of the world of Norrath. I played the original Everquest for a good few years and have played EQ2 from beta until now. Despite EQ2 “dumbing” down a bit to appeal more to the WoW crowd than the original would have done, Everquest 2 is  still in my mind the best MMORPG out there.

British Army Rank 6 – Flaming Tanks

Promotion to British rank 6 in Battleground EuropeAs you can see from the pic I’ve finally gained promotion to rank 6 of the British Army in Battleground Europe.

Rank 6 with any persona grants you the right to make missions of your own. With the French Army I’m often found running Spawn points out to enemy Forward Bases to blow them. I can now do the same with the British Army. It’s take a while longer than the french rank as I seem to find myself fighting as a British soldier far less than I do the French.

Factory Sapping and multiple ranks

How I made air rank 2Since my last post, a lot seems to have happened in the world of Battleground Europe, at least for me. I finally hit rank 2 in the air force and the navy!

The pic to the left shows how I gained rank in the air force, well completed the first rank. I needed about 50 points for rank 2 and so I spent a while bombing bridges with attack orders on. Each bridge bombed gives you 30 points and although it did take some time (my bombing needs work), I managed to get my rank. Rank 2 doesn’t actually give you anything else that I can see as most of the new planes come at rank 3. I also achieved a new rank in the navy by playing as navy infantry mostly, though I did spend some time hunting tanks from a river in a Fairmile (small attack vessel).

From Wizard to Warlock

Naitey the new neXus WarlockRegular readers might remember my creation of Gallish (Troubadour) and Bruenark (Beserker) as alts to have something different for guild groups. As my main is a healer and my other level 80 also a healer, I’ve been looking for something else to play when our other guild healers are in the group.

I had a 73 Wizard named Naitey with bright orange wings and eyes, every bit the Solusek Ro following Wizard. As we have another wizard in the group which our leader is using as his main, I thought betraying to a warlock would give us something we didn’t have.

neXus takes out a level 80 epic WTF?!

Sebilis after Wizard epic updateFirstly let me apologise for the use of WTF in the title of this post. It will all become clear as the story of last nights EQ2 session unfolds.

I logged on to help Sofran get his Wizard epic update in Sebilis and our group formed up quickly. The nights group consisted of myself as Yetian (Warden), Milkyjoe (Guardian), Katary (Conjuror), Sofran (Wizard), Flashman (Illusionist) and MMO-Symposium’s very own Ffaffner (Paladin).

We entered Sebilis hacked our way down to the first waterfall area killed a named and Sofran had his update. Easy I know, this was only the beginning of the night however..
