Kickstarter and MMORPGs
I recently read an article about Kickstarter projects for MMORPGs in the past 13 years and whether they were successfully released or not. It is a German article, but I am not going to write about all these MMORPGs now anyway (edit: There is an AI powered translation of the page into English. Thank you,…

Massively’s The Daily Grind: What MMO should Daybreak buy next?
Here is another prompt that I took from Massively OP. My first thought was: Rift! Please, please buy Rift! Gamigo is keeping the lights on, but that’s it. And even if I wanted to still play the game, I do not have any trust in gamigo whatsoever. At some point, I tried to stay informed…

Screenshot Saturday Classic: Allods Online
Since I am still on vacation, here is the second Screenshot Saturday showing an old MMO. This is Allods Online, released in 2009, and it is apparently still running! I gave it a try but didn’t stick around when they introduced candles after you died that you had to buy with real money… or some…

Screenshot Saturday Classic: Vanguard
I usually use Screenshot Saturday to post screenshots from a game I’ve been recently playing. But since I am on vacation, I can obviously neither play nor take screenshots. What better time than this to dig through old screenshots from an old MMO and post them instead? So, for the first August Saturday, here’s Vanguard!…

Which MMO mount do you like using the most?
Justin from MassivelyOP asked this question in their column “The Daily Grind” and rather than leaving a comment there, I prefer answering this question here. I do go with mounts that fit my characters best, I think. In LotRO, my hobbit has her Cremello Pony. I don’t even remember how I got it and only…

Blogging and me
I got inspired to write about my blogging history after reading Naithin’s post about his. This blog right here, Nerdy Bookahs, turned 11 years old in March. But it wasn’t the first time I blogged. It feels like an eternity ago when I started my Deadjournal, because at first, I didn’t have an invitation code…

Paeroka’s Ponderings: Living in an MMO
Answering one of my own prompts here: If you could – or had to – live in an MMO world for the rest of your life, which one would you choose? Obviously, I can only really choose from the MMOs that I have played in the past and know the world of. My first MMO…

Which MMO has the most useless housing system?
I saw this article on Massively Overpowered about useless housing systems in MMOs. Of course, this is a more or less subjective question, but that’s why I liked reading about their choices. Massively Overthinking: Which MMO suffers from the most useless housing system? My first thought – I’m only going with the MMOs I have…

A look at Project Gorgon (Jan 2021)
The comment by bhagpuss in my recent post about railroading in MMOs made me want to play a sandbox MMO again: “I do find it ironic that Classic WoW is now considered to have such a freewheeling, open attitude to questing and to be so non-directive and non-linear in its gameplay. […]” Of course, in…

Warhammer Online in 2021
After actually first forgetting to add Return of Reckoning (the private server that still lets us play Warhammer Online today) to the list of MMOs I’ve been playing in 2020 I realized I hadn’t played the game in quite some time and went to check it out again. I have been playing it in 2020,…

Early Access games I’m invested in (October 2020)
I feel it’s time to take a look at my early access games again. I tend to not play them too much and wait for the release because I don’t want to spoil the whole experience. Also, in some cases, save games aren’t always compatible in between development versions of the game and I’m not…

Which MMO does Halloween best?
I really like the autumn and halloween events in MMOs! When I saw ArenaNet announce the date for their Halloween event (it starts today, by the way) for Guild Wars 2 this year, I started to wonder: What other MMOs do them? It is a bit of a silly question because I play these MMOs,…

Early Access games I’m invested in (July 2020)
I am usually careful about which games I decide to support by buying into Early Access. And yet, over the years, there’ve been more and more added to my game library. Thankfully, there is only one exception where the game developer just disappeared. Unfortunately, it was the game I’d been the most excited about! My…

My MMOs in July 2020
I am still pondering whether to continue with WoW Classic or not. The lack of Burning Crusade is just too severe for me and I really want my Draenei mage! Although, since we’re playing Horde, this would probably rather be a Blood Elf paladin. Having paladins and shaman on both sides was a really good…

2020 and upcoming MMOs…?
I clearly remember the time before LotRO launched and how I was eyeing it curiously (and testing it during a beta event) and how I could understand the excitement other players had for the title. It wasn’t for me back then, but still. I understood and even shared the excitement! When I first heard about…
