.. back to EQ2 it seems.
Been playing a good few hours of the beta, and I’ve already cancelled my pre order.
My Everquest 2 guild neXus has a regular group night on a Monday and someone (I might have had a hand in it 
), suggested we video the sessions. In our guild we often throw out the rulebook when doing zones, either because we never found it in the first place or due to the fact we just think “to hell with it”.
We thought it could be amusing for the gaming world to see our antics in Everquest 2. The first of our group nights to be recorded was Ward of Elements a 2 group raid zone. The link to our video on livestream is below.
As you probably already know the Open Beta for Star Trek Online began yesterday.
I am currently trying to find a decent download for the beta client, but to no avail. By the time I get the beta downloaded the Open Beta will be over. 
Now Atari have emailed me trailers and screenshots, some of the screenshots I posted about earlier here on MMO-Symposium. It looks like those screenshots and trailers are all I will see of the game for the moment. If I don’t manage to try open beta I certainly won’t be buying the game.
I’ll keep trying download sites such as tentonhammer and fileplanet to see If I manage to get it downloaded.
*Update* I ended up getting a 1 month fileplanet sub to download the beta, it’s downloading as I write this.
Just a quick post to let you know about some Concept Art I discovered on 38 Studio’s Facebook page for their upcoming MMO Copernicus. It’s probably old news to some of you as it’s been there since November, but I only just spotted it so I’m sure others havn’t seen it either.
As I follow @Moorgard and @rshwayder 2 of 38 studios employee’s on twitter I’m always keeping an eye out for news on Copernicus as from what I have heard the company have some nice ideas.
I’ll post any other news regarding Copernicus as I find it.
As I said in an earlier post I have been without the net for a bit while I moved house.
The other day I finally had the net installed and setup my PC, albeit surrounded by boxes I still haven’t unpacked.
During my enforced MMO break I did miss playing EQ2 and BE, though I realised when I logged back in for the first time in a while, that I had actually missed one aspect of gaming more than the gameplay itself.
Firstly a Merry Xmas to all MMO-Symposium readers!
As I currently don’t have the net at home due to Virgin’s slack install dates. I’d like to know what you’ve all been up to this year in MMO terms?
What games have you played? Which ones kept you playing and which ones did you try and drop after a beta/first month?
Also which MMO’s are you looking forward to the most for 2010?
My posting is likely to be a bit sparse over the next few weeks and has been for the past few as I’m in the process of moving house.
It has reminded me of an idea I had previously.
Here at MMO-Symposium we have a few writers who drop in from time to time (some slacking more than others ), though we are always open to more.
Wodge, a gaming friend of mine and occasional writer here at mmo-symposium asked me the other day If I was planning to try the beta for Star Trek Online.
I signed up for the beta a while ago, as I do with most of the larger MMO’s. With the announcement that the open beta is due to start on January 12th, I should at least get the chance to try it for a week or two.
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.
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.
