Welcome back Big!

It is hard to pick a game atm. Stuff is either not interesting, dead or too much of a grind (and you won't play it long enough to be worth a grind with new games coming somewhere in the next 12 months).

I dabble in Rift and a tiny bit of WAR (it is fun in the lower tiers, after that its just too big a gap for fun)!

Let us know what you start playing!

The Germans Characters are getting transfers? When? That is very interesting, especially for some people I know!
Title: Re: I have Great news

Time to start looking at hib-templates again then.. :) Hope the transfer will happen soon

Post by: Aerendur on 15 June, 2011, 07:12:58 PM
I would resub if I knew Big, Dub and Audhild would be around! :) I'm sure we'd have some more people kicking about as well!

(we could even invite Awod along, for the untemplated part of our group, just to show how good we are)

Title: Re: I have Great news
Post by: Aerendur on 16 June, 2011, 12:34:01 PM
Is the entire game free now Hanza? I tried the first x lvls until I had to buy it. It looked like a fun game during my little test at least. Might give it a peek as well.

Post by: Hanza on 20 June, 2011, 09:54:49 AM
finished downloading global agenda yesterday... i ll try to get a look at it ... probably not before next week since i m off to Portugal for a few days this week with GF. it s a 4days week end here in germany :) (at last in my region) doesn t look too bad, never tried a futuristic type of MMo, hopefully it can entertain me a while... not a big deal tho since my play time is really limited lately due to this real life GF things :S

i also have baught darkspore from steam since there was a 40% offer last week... it looks kinda funny but i guess the real fun is in the multi mode... will try as soon as i get a little bit of skills :)

 Hanza must be my steam name btw, feel free to add me guys ;)

Global Agenda was free for the first few levels when I tried it... did they really make it free to play now?

Other than that: some friends of mine told me about League of Legends (LoL) and from what I can remember it's only PvP, but might be way too repetitive for you, Big.

I play Aika atm. Was on my list for quite a while and since they opened servers to EU I gave it a try. PvE is nice at the first levels, around lvl40 (where I am) it really starts to get boring. The reason? I think everyone tries to rush to higher levels to join PvP, which is server-wide and covers the entire map with all regions. Also the "hell" mode in dungeons is only open to lvl50+ (here you can farm the "better"/more expensive gear). I didn't have problems to get PvE armor/weapon on my own, only needed guild help for some Elite dungeon runs. Several PvP modes available, the main thing is relic war (from what I saw so far) where you steal relics from temples spread over the country. Ofc the relic-holder tries to defend ;) The system reminds me a bit of DAoC. There are battlegrounds, but they are used to farm honor points (PvP "XP") mostly from what I saw. There are 5 different nations, but all with the same classes. I think I can provide some better information when I hit lvl50+ (better armor and less 1-hit deaths in big boys PvP :p). Some good things: Warriors are really melee dps (yay), tank is played by Paladin. I tried some classes up to lvl10 or so and stayed with Warrior and Cleric so far. Pran is a amusing/annoying feature, but it has a huge backpack and can carry a lot for you. If you need some more information, let me know. Oh - and if you start in the underdog nation, you get some good stuff and XP boost, so with some luck and work you can get over the first few levels quickly. Ofc I noticed that, when it was too late...  ::) so it's back to my usual slow-ish leveling routine  ;)

I've made a decent template with max duration for my menta, now i only need someone to get online and play with me! I moved guild from avalon btw, keeping it as leveling guild since Suicidal Pink Bunnies just have to be the rvr-guild on hib as it is the coolest guildname ever  :P
Title: Re: I have Great news
Post by: Aerendur on 07 July, 2011, 12:31:03 PM
I've popped on a few times. Even saw a Pink Bunny Ranger, but apparently it wasn't you! ;)

Who else has started popping on? Also, you can always check who's online in NFD. Some of the old faces are still around, like Maeloch!  ;)

I bit Dubs ear off at a family reunion, he's getting plastic surgery now. They're trying to recreate the silly ear, but i'm venomous and contagious, so he's got all kinds of nasty stuff in that ear now. :)
Title: Re: I have Great news
Post by: Dub on 20 July, 2011, 12:37:48 PM
What did you do with your ear Dub? 

some kind of recurring Staphylococcus infection , initial one probably caused by scratching an insectbite or something  , doctor claims its normal for it to recur witin a period of a coupple of years then it usually go away , getting treated with penicillin each time it shows up  (5 times within last 12 months if not more)

anyhows , it doesnt hurt , but im down to one functioning ear! 8)
Title: Re: I have Great news
Post by: Aerendur on 20 July, 2011, 01:16:16 PM
Arf, friend of mine had an ear infection that kept coming back, very nasty!  >:( Hope it goes away again soon!

But ofc that is no excuse! Bring the troll or cow and have a laugh. I'll abuse vent/ts more so you can hear the sound through just one ear!  ;D
