Hello I was wondering if you would like to come for the first ever blog meet and greet. Where fans meet the bloggers and bloggers meet other bloggers. This would take place Sunday, July 12 at 5pm eastern time if you can make it get back to me but if you can’t we will try to change the date and time so we can all make it. Hope to see you there

Yup, that’s my new baby. 26% all resists, 72% when I have the hardeners running, can dive into the middle of half a dozen frigates and destroyers and have them all dead before the shields are even gone.

I haven’t had a chance to read any of the links yet, but I hope that image at the means you’ve started flying myrmidons. I love that ship.

Also remember that the Aion were playing isn’t the 1.5 version that the NA game will be shipped with. Supposedly quest rewards will be much better and there will be many more quests added to help with the leveling process. I really enjoyed CB3, and am really looking forward to the next beta test where I plan on focusing on pvp this time around.

Correction Tip: I never said I was bored. :) I said that I’m not trying not to play or level characters because I want to preserve that ‘new’ feeling and excitement for the actual launch. I find Aion to be incredibly engaging and fun, which is exactly why I do not want to play right now. I know myself (Learning more about my gaming habits every day) and if I play now I WILL regret it.

Are the first ten levels cookie cutter? Well, yeah. It’s not one bit different from any MMO’s first ten levels. That doesn’t make it bad, just predictable.

In your blogroll here you allude to it losing some of the pizazz it had a few weeks ago, but in fact I believe this common trend of scaling back playtime in beta from people is a sign that it has solidified itself as people’s next game.

Aion does what we already know. All the hot-shot smart mouths out there want to be quick to point this out as Aion’s biggest flaw, yet they fail to acknowledge that it does all of these things well and in some cases better than we’ve seen yet.

True, but Blizzard never mentions that certain players are worth very very much more than other players in its numbers, it’s all about just having a bigger number than the other game, even if it is comparing apples and pears to oranges.

If Free Realms is honest with its numbers, then they will add up the number of members and the number of free users who have played in the last month. But I imagine they will stick with number of registered accounts, a number that can never decrease.

The thing that’s absolutely staggering about the Blizzard numbers, even minus China, is that they represent ACTIVE accounts that have been used in the last month. We don’t know how many of FR’s registered accounts are active, but I can guarantee you that it’s at least two less than whatever number Smedley announces on twitter, since my wife and I just haven’t gotten around to playing in well over a month.
