Trying the other side

A few of my Battleground squad decided to try out the Axis side instead of allied for the current campaign. As I’ve never played the other side I thought I’d give it a go, so I’ve joined them for the current game campaign.

First impressions were of massive confusion, I tried shooting German’s which obviously didn’t work as I am one. I kept panicking when I heard the noise of a 232 armoured car or a panzer tank, as I’ve only just learned to recognise them. It also was a while before I could spot allied soldiers quickly as I wasn’t used to looking for the same uniform’s or flashes of colour in the corner of my eye.

Station Players charges dropped

Sony Online Entertainment are making Station Players free to use for subscribers from December 17th. So if you play Vanguard, Everquest or Everquest 2 you’ll be able to see all the extra stats and use the extra services for free.

If you ask me it should always have been free but hey at least it will be soon. For SOE to drop the charge for station players, it likely means we’ll be charged elsewhere, probably via the station cash store.

Anyway here’s the full announcement.

Yetian gets his Mythical

Yetian gets his Mythical Bite of the WolfThat’s right, the one thing I’d never thought likely to happen has ….. happened!

Yetian my main in Everquest 2 has managed to get his Mythical weapon, Bite of the Wolf.

My guild neXus is as some of you may know a casual none raiding guild. After joining members from the guild Benevolence on a pickup raid I started talking to one of their number Nillynip, about our guilds helping each other out when needed. This quickly progressed to Benevolence forming an alliance of guilds to raid TSO and Mythical content.

Out with the old…

In with the old!

As all gamers have to do from time to time, I’ve swapped my ageing PC for a shiny new one. I won’t go into the spec and all that as it’s not MMO related. However the graphics card is a key element in an MMO PC. I decided as the next generation of Nvidia cards were not released I’d go for the ATI 5850.

The card flew through EQ2, even on a full 4 group raid with max graphics turned on. Battleground Europe was another story however. Once I worked around the mouse freeze which was actually Windows 7 related, the most I managed to play was maybe 2 mins before the screen froze. This was repeated each and every time I loaded the game, screen freeze but sound continuing as normal.
