Well, I’ve spent the past 20-some-odd days going through a few MMO’s. First up, went back to EverQuest II to meet up with some old friends and guildies. Grabbing Rise of Kunark I rolled a character on their server and got introduced to the Sarnak. The expansion has defiantly increased low-leveling speed for 1-20 and given far better equipment to the range (far, far better). It seems a tad overpowered to me, but I guess it attracts new players. other than that, the game hasn’t changed too much from what I remember.
Next up is Tabula Rasa. The game itself (as I think I’ve said before) is not really new, there’s a bit more action in the combat, a bit more FPS oriented, but the overall game is still pretty unchanged (quest grind to level, some instancing). Cloning is a cool feature and works well with the tiered class system–one of the more original features. Overall, slightly different sci-fi MMO.
Lastly, Eve Online (again). This is the one game that I don’t think I can truly quit. There really is no other like it. Also, 5th Alliance Tournament is coming up this Friday (yay). Can’t wait to watch it.
