So far, so good…
Just like the title says, it’s been good so far, leveling up with Desty by my side. It’s amazing to watch battles unfold, and even the occasional clown that comes up and tries to catch Desty off guard, with me waiting in the shadows. So far, we haven’t been beaten down yet, and when we have, we’ve gotton our revenge fairly soon afterwards.
The guild is alive and well, with 90% of the core group expected at launch showing up. This is wonderful news, as it will allow the majority of us to get a good head start on leveling up with guildmates.
Look for some announcements to be made in the forums in the next few days regarding guild policies, KOS lists, etc.

Early Access is upon us!
(Pardon the lack of paragraphs. This software version has a bug in it)
Well, so far, the early access has been…interesting, to say the least. I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach when the servers were still down 30 minutes after the EA was supposed to begin, but I assured myself it was just a slight problem, and they’d have them up soon. Soon being 4 and a half hours later. However, I didn’t fret too much, and said to myself that if this is the worst thing that can happen at an MMO launch, then we got lucky.
I was wrong however…
Upon starting the game up, and getting to the server select screen, I noticed something that made my stomach overturn. Funcom, in all their wisdom, neglected to put RP in front of the PvP for the “Official” RP server, Cimmeria. I don’t even have to mention what happened after that, I’m sure most of you could already imagine.
However, it’s not so bad, to be honest. Sure, there isn’t much RP going around, but then again, most clans and players are busy fighting the hordes of griefers, and putting “k3wld00d” guilds on their KOS (Kill On Sight) lists. Desty (Bighead) and myself have been busy kicking ass and taking names. We are currently close enough to level 30 to taste it. You’d be surprised how many fools will attack a Tempest of Set when they think he’s alone, only to get their asses handed to them when Desty turns around and I pop out of stealth. Whether it’s UO, DAoC, one thing is for sure…..
Some things never change.
