  1. Star Wars The Old Republic Is Getting Warm, Are You Ready?

    I’ve been debating sitting down and starting a blog for weeks now but I kept coming up with random excuses. I wanted to make sure it was something I’d commit my time to on a regular basis, and that it would actually have something worth taking your time to come and read. Right now, we are a very Rift focused guild and I don’t want to take anything away from that, but it’s also a good time to start talking about what I think will be the next big thing in the MMO genre, and for Aureus Knights. ...

    *** Cross posted from adeventuresoftaas.com ***

    Kotaku is reporting that Sony Online Entertainment has laid off 1/3 of its work force. While SOE has not confirmed this yet the rumblings I am hearing is that this is credible. Before I go any further (and start talking about why I think this is a good thing) I want to say I really feel for my friends at SOE and those who have made some of my favorite games. When I was Managing Editor at Stratics I was fortunate to have a very close ...

  3. Tanking Roulette - trial and speculation

    So, I was having problems last night on the double manticore fight in expert King's Breach due to the fact that I have no dots or ranged attacks to keep the caster (Mondrach) from killing my healers. I even tried a macro that targeted him, taunted, then targeted back to Autoch.... to no avail. Needless to say, I spoke with Xerathe (one of our seasoned warrior tanks) and he suggested a new spec to me (albeit I will tweak it a little bit for this discussion):

  4. Justicar Tanking Builds

    Let's try this again. So I typed up this awesome, long and well thought post on a Justicar Leveling and Raiding build and the board said that will not be tolerated and ate it. So this time I will be hammering that Save Draft button so I don't lose an hour of work. I know in the last post I said I would discuss healing souls; however, I few guildies asked me questions about my build and how I go about tanking. This post will be about that.

    First and foremost, prebattle prep. Justicars ...
  5. What Publishers and Venture Capitalists Should Learn From Rift

    *** Cross posted from adventuresoftaas.com ***

    Rift has been a surprise hit for many hundreds of thousands of players. I know in my guild it went from a game we knew nothing about in December to a full guild chapter with over 80 active members now in March. Rift's success has caused some confusion for those who have only tried the first 10 to 20 levels. A common confused question that gets asked is this: "This game is so much like the competition, why would anyone play this ...
