@Dusty — Wizard 101 is fun to play, I don’t play it for the levels :) I mostly play it, actually, for the outfits ><

Is it just me, or do the ‘Zillas hop like little kangaroos when they run?

[...] leap of faith As has been seen in a few other blogs, people are commenting on Cryptic Studios’ lifetime/6 month subscription offer, which is similar to what Turbine offered when LOTRO was [...]

After reading that preview, I’m looking forward to the NDA dropping more for your comics than for the game. :)

Tipa, have you seen/tried some toilets in Japan or Korea? Your comic is not that far off…:) It can be quite and experience. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU_vNb_XkTM)

I did not dismiss the idea of a Champions Online lifetime sub entirely, just because of Cryptic’s previous track record. I have paid for and played CoX more than 3 years now.

Still, that does not guarantee that I will stick to this one. I cannot say I care much about the items offered with it – nice to have, but not more – except the character slots, but they will probably available to buy anyway.

If I am not able to play the game before the decision has to be made, then it will probably not happen.

Good morning tippa! Several things!

Thanks for enlightening me on the lifetime sub choice for C.O. I hadn’t picked that up until this morning. One word for that – Blargh. In this day and time, asking anyone to pony up $199.00 for anything game related is borderline irresponsible. I’m also in the beta, and while I’ll play it (of course I will), there’s no way I’d fork over that kind of dough up front. I’m actually becoming a big fan of Wizard 101′s velvet-rope style billing model.. or “pay as I go”, with more choices. OH.. and speaking of Wizard 101..

I made level 12 with my Ice Wizard. Woo! Question for you. You’ve mentioned a number of times you’re pretty much completely burned out with the whole quest & grind “level your character” model of play in MMO’s. But Wiz 101 is still very much a quest driven experience driven levelling game, even if it has different combat and group mechanics than most MMO’s. Is there something else about Wiz101 that still makes the game appealing for you, despite the levelling and questing? Or are you just enduring that aspect of it, because the actual play mechanics are so fun? Inquiring minds want to know.. :)

Thanks for the blog recap! You’re better than any RSS reader I’ve ever used! Recaps *plus* commentary! <3 it!
